Latest Reviews
Here are some of the latest reviews that we have received from parents who have used childcare providers and tutors listed on Childcare.co.uk.
Nicole and the team at Fruitful have looked after our son from the age of 6 months, he will be turning 3 this year. They treat every child there like family (special shout out to Shirley who has been his bestie from the beginning) and it is a testament to them how much he looks forward to seeing them in the morning! They keep me updated through the day, do regular activities and outings that we always get a photo/ video of.
They are an amazing group of people that have helped him go from strength to strength and celebrate each milestone with us as well as come up with targets that we can all work on together to help him continue to succeed.
We can’t wait to watch them do the same again with our little one in September and I highly recommend them to anybody that is looking for a family feel childcare solution.

Liza takes care of my son and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. She really goes above and beyond for the children under her care. She makes sure their development is taken care of from every aspect, whether thats nutrition, physical or cognitive. My son is super happy there and is absolutely thriving!
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone as amazing as Sharon, who has become an extension of our family. From day one, she welcomed both our children with open arms, nurturing them with genuine warmth, kindness, and expertise. It's been a blessing to know they were not only safe but really happy in her care.
Home‑from‑home atmosphere. Creative, stimulating activities - always something exciting happening. Every day and after school was fun. Communication is fantastic - lots of updates on how the children are doing. Always love a picture! Sharon is such a lovely, kind and trustworthy, we'd have been lost without her.
Sharon is professional, caring, reliable, and above all, truly cares about the children's happiness, growth, and wellbeing. We highly recommend her to any family seeking not just a childminder, but a loving, safe environment for their children.
We put our 2 year old with Erin as his first experience of being without family and he settled in so quickly. Erin has a dedicated outbuilding for the children and a lovely supportive family to assist in her home. The communication is excellent with updates throughout the day and she always replies to questions outside of her working hours. My son has been on many days out to lots of interesting and fun places and we always enjoy the photos we receive from the day.
Satveer was amazing with my 4-year-old daughter, even on very short notice. She was calm, kind, and instantly made my daughter feel comfortable. They had a lovely time together, and my daughter talked about her for the rest of the day! I wouldn’t hesitate to ask for her help again. Highly recommend!
My daughter went to Sally’s full time from the age of 1, right up to the start of reception - 3 years in total. Sally was absolutely incredible with her. Provided updates throughout the day, made healthy delicious food and worked with us to continue normal routine. My daughter learned key skills and I was kept updated on her development. She would come home regularly with arts and crafts, and baked goods which Sally would make with the children.
It has now been a year since my daughter stopped going to Sally’s and she still talks about her and tells me regularly that she misses going to her home. This is the incredible impact Sally had on my daughter. I highly highly recommend Sallys services to anyone!

There is no other childminder locally that I would want my children to be with such a formative age. Auntie Annie's is a safe, happy and nurturing place, full of fun and endless educational opportunities. My son flourished from his time there, which began the day I returned to work up to when he started nursery. He loved both his fellow angels and the grown-ups that supervised him, thriving in a small group of children who are given the utmost quality in care and early-years education as well as lots of adventurous days out all over London. My daughter, who started with Annie and her team in the spring, is now having the same wonderful experience.
Annie’s home base is wonderful, full of toys and learning aids as well as clean and tidy and I’m not surprised she recently received an Ofsted Outstanding rating. Her excellent teaching philosophy and values are evident every day and in the happy, curious and confident children who spend time in her care. Thank you Annie, Vicky and Amanda!

We cannot speak highly enough of Frankie and the incredible care she provides. From the moment we met her, it was clear she was someone who genuinely loves what she does and takes great pride in nurturing the children she looks after.
She is exceptionally attentive, always tuned in to the children’s needs, and creates a warm, safe, and engaging environment where little ones can thrive. Her calm, kind, and patient nature is something truly special — it sets the tone for everything she does and brings so much reassurance to us as parents.
What really sets her apart is the thought and creativity she puts into every day. Activities are always age-appropriate, fun, and stimulating, and she makes learning part of play in such a natural, joyful way. On top of that, her strong knowledge of nutrition is a real bonus — she provides healthy, balanced meals and snacks, and supports positive eating habits with such care and attention.
Our children have blossomed in her care, growing in confidence, curiosity, and independence. It’s incredibly reassuring to know our little ones are in such capable and loving hands.
Finding someone like Frankie is rare — her service is truly outstanding, and we’re so grateful to have her support. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional childcare.

Tabassum provides a safe, welcoming environment. There are always fun things that are also educational for my child to engage in. Simultaneously if she needs the space to just relax after a busy school day, there is space for this too. The healthy food that Tabassum provides is with thought to what my child will and likes to eat.
Tabassum's space is social, safe and happy. My child enjoys going to her home after school. Tabassum's childmiding services definitely gives my child a home away from home. Thank you!
We’re so happy with the care Adiba gives our baby,My baby started when she was six month old . My baby settled in so well, and it’s clear how much she enjoys her time there .She’s kind, patient, and creates a warm, safe environment. My baby always comes home happy and well looked after. Highly recommended!
We genuinely feel that Adiba treats my baby like family — and for us, that’s priceless. We highly recommend her to any parent looking for trustworthy, caring, and professional childcare
Florence(3 1/2) and Edie (18 months) have attended Auntie Annie’s since they were about 7 months old and there has not been a day when both have raced in with barely a wave goodbye to us. It is an understatement to say they love it, Annie and her team. I truly believe that I wouldn’t find a better childminder and feel so lucky every day that my children are cared for by Annie and her wonderful team.
Annie and her team are so professional, experienced, supportive and knowledgeable. It is a disservice to say Annie is a childminder as she is SO SO much more. She is passionate about giving the children a wealth of experiences and their encourage development. All activities are well thought through and carefully thought about to challenge and develop. The fact my three year old is teaching us about metamorphosis blows my mind. Annie is so knowledgable about the early years expectations and goals and our children are supported in every way to achieve these. Their social, emotional wellbeing is at the forefront of Annie and her teams minds and I really do credit the wonderful development of my children to them. They have instilled in them clear boundaries and a love for learning. What more could a parent want. My only sadness is that they can not stay with Annie and her team forever but they have honestly given them the best start and such a wonderful introduction to education.

My child has been going to Donna’s for over 2 years and I have nothing but positive things to say.
From the moment I met Donna and her family I knew that she was the person I wanted looking after my child. As a first time mum I really struggled with the idea of having to leave my child with a “stranger” but within a few days of my daughter being looked after we already felt like she was being taken care of by a member of the family.
No matter what is happening Donna always opens the door with a smile and greats our daughter warmly and with open arms!
Donna has always been transparent with us regarding any incidents that our child has been involved in. Even if it’s been a minor thing we are notified and an honest, detailed account is relayed to us. I feel very comfortable messaging Donna if I’ve got any concerns with my child and I’m always met with a helpful, positive response no matter my query.
My daughter always comes home in a clean nappy and with a full belly. All meals are fresh and often use home-grown food from the allotment, my daughter eats so well at Donna’s and often tries new food she wouldn’t even look at, at home. There are times that she even has seconds!
Every child is treated as an individual and made to feel important. For example, on their birthdays they each get a little party and are made a fuss of, something that my daughter gets very excited about, even if it’s not her birthday she always comes home very excited.
The children take part in fun, educational activities and my daughter has come on leaps and bounds, socially, developmentally and emotionally. She has made so many friends at Donna’s and everyday she comes home telling stories about how much fun she’s had playing with her friends.
My daughter asks to go to Donna’s even at the weekends she loves it there so much!
My child is a massive dog lover so enjoys telling us about Donna’s dogs and how she’s “given them pat-pats” Donna never leaves the dogs unattended with the children and I completely trusts that Donna knows her dogs and I have no concerns with them being around my child, they have both been around the children their whole lives so know no different.
Donna is not just an amazing childminder, she is a great friend and confidante, who has our child and every child’s best interest at heart!
100% wouldn’t want anyone else looking after my daughter!
We found Lynn through this website and contacted her based on the outstanding ofsted and reviews we read. Back in 2022 we were moving to area from down South and needed full time childcare. We contacted Lynn who had a space coming available and she was so professional in sending us the paperwork and securing my sons place before he officially started and also arranged some settling in sessions prior to starting full time.
Two and half years later and my son is thriving and absolutely loves his time with Lynn. They go out almost everyday whether it be at soft play, library, the zoo or some children’s group etc. We get to see daily photos from the baby days app. Lynn doesn’t have a large turn around of children because once they join her they stay until they start school so my son has been lucky to have made great friends with the children he’s spent the last 2 years with. Unfortunately the time has come for him to start school in September and he is going to miss this setting so much, however this is the only place I will want to send him during the half term and holidays. The setting is great, Lynn is amazing and your child will thrive in her care.
Mariela has looked after my son daily since he was very young, and I couldn’t have asked for a more caring, supportive, and patient person to help guide him through these early years. From providing healthy lunches and taking him on exciting trips, to helping me with potty training and teaching him something new every single day – Mariela has been a true blessing.
Her calm and nurturing approach gave my son the confidence to grow and flourish. He always came home happy. The learning, fun, and love he received in her care have given him the best possible start.
Now that he’s turning 3 and moving on to school, we will miss her deeply – but we’ll always be grateful for the incredible foundation she helped build. Thank you, Mariela, for everything you’ve done for our family. You are truly one of a kind.
Sue doesn’t just look after your little ones, she becomes family. Someone your child will never, ever forget!
She is amazing at communication, so you know exactly what your child is up to throughout the day. Which is usually something tailored to what they love/enjoy. Whether it’s face paints because they’ve decided they are a dog that day or playing Christmas games in the middle of summer because it’s your child’s favourite.
She takes them to the park, out on bike rides when they take their new bike to show her and lots of adventures.
She makes sure they eat a healthy, balanced diet and that she has their favourite food in for them. Even when it’s something random, such as smoked cheese.
She’ll has a brilliant, safe, garden with a swing set that my children look forward to using every week. Her house is full of all kinds of toys, that children have access to and are encouraged to get out. Allowing them real free play with toys they enjoy.
You will never, ever find anyone better to look after your child. We always say how lucky we are that my children got to spend time with her, its set them up for life. Her knowledge is unbeatable, so much so that I would regularly text on days my little ones weren’t with her to ask for advice. Go and give her a visit, you’ll be instantly made to feel welcome and know your child is in safe hands.
