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.
Foz has been so amazing with my two children. They are so happy to go to her in the morning and after school. she spends time with them plays with them! I couldn’t fault her! She has been so flexible and helped me at last minute when I needed. She provides such a safe calm and loving environment.
Very disappointed with my experience with this childminder. After discovering a severe, raw and red rash around my 3-year-old daughter’s private area, we had to take her to A&E.
When I raised my concerns, instead of reassurance and understanding, I felt she became defensive and offended. It's become messy. She then reported my husband and me to social services over alleged communication concerns, which I felt was retaliatory after I questioned my daughter’s care.
To make matters worse, after withdrawing our daughter due to concerns about her wellbeing, she demanded over £1,000 in notice fees!
As a parent, I should be able to question my child’s care without feeling intimidated or punished for speaking up. A very upsetting experience, and sadly, I would not recommend this childminder.
As a working parent with a little girl it’s hard leaving your child with someone they don’t know as you don’t know how they will react to the new environment.
I tried Nursery but wasn’t for us. Then I found shay and my little girl loves going to her house. Shay keeps me updated during the day of what activities they are doing and how my daughter is doing. I feel so at ease when I drop her off knowing that she is being cared for and looked after in such a family friendly and safe environment. I couldn’t thank her enough for what she does.
I needed to use nads during a period where I had no alternative childcare. The communication with them is amazing, everyone is so open and friendly and I could see how happy the kids were when I visited. During the time my daughter settled amazing and was in a great routine. She would always come back in a happy and calm mood and if there were any concerns they would always let me know. Thank you for being so wonderful and she definitely learnt a lot in her short time, with more nursery rhymes and practicing her counting!
Joeys have been looking after our son for only a couple of months and we could not be happier. Sending your child to someone new is always daunting, but Rachel created such a warm, safe, and loving & welcoming environment from day one and our son looks foward to going each day.
My daughter has been going to Sarah’s for just over a year now and she loves it! We just moved to the area so she didn’t have a proper settling in period but she settled in very very quickly and on her first day came out so happy! It’s so reassuring to us as parents and Sarah is super lovely and nurturing I know my daughter is being well looked after. Sarah also gives us daily updates and sends pictures.
My little girl has become very close to Sarah and the other little ones so will be very sad when it’s time to leave.
I would recommend Sarah to anyone she is providing a clean, safe home away from home environment and really cares about the children.
Thank you so much Sarah! Xx
Kath looked after my eldest from the age of 4 months to 20 months and she became part of our family. She provided love, care and stability for our daughter, taking her to playgroups and treating her like her own. If I ever had a questions as a first time mum, Kath would always be at the other end of the phone. It was then a no brainer for her to look after our second. Other than my husband, she is the only person in the world I trust with my girls
Both my boys have been with Paula one from 1.5 and one from 9months all the way up until reception. Both of them absolutely loved going to Paula and thrived! Paula was always good at accommodating both mine and the boys needs. My boys still ask about Paula now.
We couldn’t recommend Alison highly enough! Sofia started with her when I returned to work after maternity leave, and she made what could have been a difficult transition so much easier.
Alison is so lovely, warm and caring, and it was such a comfort knowing Sofia was happy and in safe hands while I was at work.
Sofia loved Alison’s home-cooked lunches and learnt so much during her time there, including the actions to nursery rhymes, which was so lovely to see! She also really enjoyed playing and interacting with the other children who were all a similar age, it was clear what a happy and caring environment Alison had created.
Alison really does go above and beyond, even helping us out by dropping Sofia home when I had a punctured tyre!
Thank you so much for everything, Alison. Any family would be lucky to have you looking after their little one.
Raashi’s Childcare has been such a wonderful part of our lives and an incredible support system for our 3-year-old twin girls. It has provided a true home-away-from-home environment for the girls — a warm, loving and nurturing place where they were always cared for like family.
The teachers are absolutely lovely, and the girls have enjoyed so many fun and creative activities, learned something new every month, and always looked forward to their days there. They also loved the healthy, delicious, home-cooked meals.
We have so many lovely memories of our time at Raashi’s. Even after leaving, the girls still talk about their teachers and the little friends they made there.
We will always be grateful to Raashi and her wonderful team for giving our little girls their first stepping stone in their learning journey and providing such a wonderful foundation for the years ahead.
It has been a truly lovely experience, and we will always look back on it with so much fondness. ❤️

Gully is a kind, and reliable person. I really appreciate her support and the trust she shown when it comes to looking after my son. During my shift, she would kindly drop my son off for me, which made things so much easier and more convenient as I didn't have to worry about going to pick him up. She was always thoughtful.ful and considerate, sometimes even bringing me snacks whenever she came to drop my son off, which i truly appreciated.
Gully has always been helpful, understanding, and thoughtful, and i am grateful for all the support she has given me. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, and supportive with childcare

I cannot recommend Agnes highly enough. She has been looking after my daughter for the past two years, and I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better childminder.
Agnes is an absolutely wonderful, caring and dedicated person who genuinely loves what she does. From the very beginning, she has made my daughter feel safe, happy and loved. I have always had complete peace of mind knowing that my daughter is in such good hands.
What makes Agnes so special is the care and attention she gives to every child. She provides a warm, welcoming and stimulating environment, with lots of fun activities, learning opportunities and lovely outings. She is always finding ways to support children’s development, encourage their independence and help them discover new things.
Her communication with parents is excellent. She keeps me informed, shares updates and always makes me feel involved in my daughter’s day.
Most importantly, my daughter absolutely loves spending time with Agnes. It is clear how much she enjoys being there, which says everything about the wonderful atmosphere Agnes creates.
Agnes goes above and beyond what you would expect from a childminder. She is professional, trustworthy, patient, compassionate and genuinely dedicated to the children in her care.
I feel incredibly lucky that my daughter has had Agnes in her life for the past two years. I would recommend her without hesitation to any parent looking for exceptional childcare. Any family would be very fortunate to have her looking after their child.
We honestly cannot thank Karen enough for everything she has done for our son since he started with her at just 11 months old.
From the very beginning, Karen has been so nurturing, caring and understanding. She has played such a huge part in our son’s early years, helping him grow into the little character he is today. We genuinely believe she has helped shape the person he is, and we will always be grateful for the love, encouragement and support she has given him. One thing that has always stood out is just how well Karen knows the children in her care. Her handovers are incredibly detailed, and she always provides frequent photos and updates throughout the day. You never feel out of the loop and can see just how much attention she gives to each child as an individual. It's clear that she doesn't just look after children; she really gets to know them, understands their little personalities and genuinely cares about their development.For me personally, Karen has also become so much more than just a childminder. Over the years, she has become a good friend and someone I could turn to for advice, reassurance and support. She has given me advice that I will carry with me for years to come, and that means more than she probably realises. Leaving to start preschool was a big milestone, but we will always look back on our time with Karen with so much fondness. Jax has been incredibly lucky to have had her in his life, and so have we. Thank you, Karen, for everything, you will always hold a special place in our hearts.

My little girl has only been with Clare since September 2026 but she has settled so quickly with her. It literally is a home from home setting and my daughter absolutely loves it. Clare really takes the time to get to know every child individually and supports both their development and learning across all areas. She updates resources to inspire new interests and ensure the children are always busy whilst having fun! Clare takes the children out to groups and on lovely adventures so they are sociable with others and engaging in a range of activities. Clare ensures parents are always updated and all information is shared through daily photos and a written diary about their day. I honestly couldn’t recommend Clare enough…we need more childminders like Clare!!
Esther was great for the 2-hour watch. Punctual to collect my daughter from after school club, followed all instructions (heating up the food I left, feeding the cat etc) and everything went smoothly. I cannot review the setting/cleanliness/food as Esther came to my home. Everything was intact upon my return.
Great baby sitting service I will use again
We could not be more grateful to have found Harpreet and her team. Our twins are absolutely thriving in her care, and it has been wonderful to see how much they have learnt and developed since joining her setting.
Harpreet is incredibly warm, positive and approachable. She has a lovely way with the children and is always calm, understanding and patient with them. Whenever we have any concerns or apprehensions about the children as individuals, she is always reassuring and takes the time to work with them to support their individual needs and development. We really value how proactive, attentive and supportive she is, and the confidence this gives us as parents.
We feel the setting strikes a good balance between learning, play and physical development, all within a nurturing and stimulating environment. Most importantly, the children genuinely love going there and look forward to it every week.
We feel very fortunate that our twins are in such caring hands, and would wholeheartedly recommend Harpreet and her team.
Amran is an absolutely amazing teacher. She is highly dedicated to her work and has a wonderful ability to build positive, trusting relationships with her students.
Her wealth of experience enables her to provide valuable guidance and advice to parents, while tailoring her lessons to suit each child's individual abilities and needs. She is attentive, encouraging and genuinely committed to helping every child progress.
I would highly recommend Amran to anyone looking for a dedicated, experienced and caring teacher.
My husband and I were so impressed when we visited. The whole place felt lovely and welcoming, and we both came away saying how much we liked it. The garden was a real highlight for us, with so many opportunities for the children to play, explore and have fun.
She was really friendly and easy to talk to, and we felt comfortable asking questions. It was lovely to see how everything had been set up with the children in mind. We left feeling really positive and could easily imagine our little one being happy there. Would definitely recommend arranging a visit!
Jojo was fantastic. We had her for the first 8 weeks to support overnight and before long our little girl was sleeping up to 7hrs without waking. Jojo’s guidance, support and maternal nature made those early days so much easier and helped us get into good sleep habits early - particularly remember the first night when I had a complete meltdown and she just gave me a huge hug! Only stopped because she was already booked with another family but would recommend in a heartbeat.
