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.
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Sofia as our childminder. She cared for our two sons from the ages of one to three, and from the very beginning it truly felt like a home-from-home environment. The warmth, love, and attention she provided made such a difference to both of them during those early years.
Sofia created a wonderful balance of fun, learning, and exploration. The boys enjoyed so many fantastic experiences, from trips to the farm and local parks to visits to libraries and even adventures into London. It was so reassuring to know they were not only being well cared for, but also given such enriching opportunities.
During their time with Sofia, both boys developed strong academic foundations alongside important emotional and social skills. She supported their early learning in such a natural, engaging way, while also helping them grow in confidence, independence, and kindness. It has truly set them up brilliantly for the next stage of their journey.
I always felt completely confident leaving them in Sofia’s care. She provided a safe, nurturing environment where they were clearly happy, secure, and thriving. That peace of mind as a parent is truly invaluable.
Although we didn’t live particularly close to Sofia’s home, the level of care, trust, and dedication she showed made the journey worthwhile every single day.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sofia to anyone looking for a childminder. It was a very emotional time for all of us when the boys moved on to preschool, which really speaks volumes about the bond they built with her. We will always be grateful for the care she gave our children.

From start to finish I cannot fault our time with Lucy, our daughter settled so well very quickly and soon became her home from home, building great friendship with all the children and also Lucy's family members. Lucy was always on hand to offer me friendly and professional advise when asked.
The setting is clean, organised and lots of fun!
My daughter enjoyed lots of fun days out and regular visits to local playgroups.
I would highly recommend Lucy!
Dolly was our childminder when our son was 1.5-4 years old including nursery drops and pick ups. She's energetic, responsible, reliable and communicates thoughtfully. My son is now 12 and has really fond memories of Dolly, he adored her. We have on occasions had to extend the hours due to last minute work commitments and Dolly was always very accommodating. Highly recommended!
I had a really positive experience with this tutor. With their support, I was able to achieve A grades in my Highers and secure an unconditional offer for Pharmacy. Their teaching style is clear, structured, and tailored to ensure you fully understand the material rather than just memorising it.
What stood out the most was the level of support beyond the sessions themselves. They regularly check in, offer guidance when needed, and are always approachable. Even throughout university, they continued to support and encourage me, which made a huge difference during more challenging periods.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a tutor who is not only knowledgeable but genuinely invested in your long-term success.
Catherine has been our daughter’s after-school nanny since January, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is reliable, punctual, and flexible, but most importantly she is incredibly caring, warm, and fun to be with. She quickly built a lovely bond with our daughter and has brought so much positivity and ease to our afternoons as a family.
We all love having her with us and feel very lucky to have found her. I cannot recommend her highly enough to any family with childcare needs.

Emily is a fantastic tutor, she provided my son with catch-up tuition sessions when he was struggling to keep up at school.
She is professional and highly knowledgeable. She was able to make sure my son had everything he needed to feel confident returning to school in September.
An amazing childminder! She creates a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow. Our child has developed so much since starting with her—both socially and emotionally. Communication is always excellent, and we feel completely at ease knowing our child is in such good hands
My child is in the best hands, without a doubt! I will forever be grateful to Miss Peace and her team for looking after my Hendri. I cannot say she is the best (as I cannot compare her to anyone) but she gives her very best in the work she does, incredibly passionate in her role and she always makes sure that her care is personalized to what our child needs. She indeed provides a home away from home, and even more...
Emma is without a doubt the best childminder we've ever had. It's been such an amazing relief for me that my daughter is always so happy and excited to go to Emma's house - she babbles on about her constantly when she's not with her too. And unsurprisingly, considering all the fun stuff they get up to - she's now been to London Zoo twice in the last year - both times with Emma! She sends the parents really sweet emails updating us on the wildlife in the park, she takes them to singing classes / the playground all the time and the food is all freshly prepared and delicious - my daughter eats so much better there than she does at home! She organises the sweetest Christmas/ Santa party in her house- which is lovely with a huge garden. Without fail every day at pickup I'll get a personalised update about what my daughter ate, how long she slept and little details about funny things she did or how she's coming on developmentally. My daughter will miss Emma so much obviously, but I really will too. She's so calm, easy to talk to and has such a brilliant sense of fun with the kids AND with the parents. I chose Emma because of all her incredible reviews on this website- I'd never seen a childminder get 100% positive comments on one of these forums- and they're all totally right! I feel very sad that we won't be seeing Emma every day anymore, but also grateful that my daughter has been so lucky to have such a special and loving 'home from home' environment in these early years. Thank you so much Emma, we all adore you.

Our son was attending to this childcare for 6 months. Perfect setting, girls were amazing, with care and all activities for the kids. Really loving environment. Nice to see when your little one willing to go there every day, really says a lot. Unfortunately, out of nowhere without any notice Zelly informed us that she letting us go on mid week and mid term which cost lot of stress and disarrangements for our family. Was not expecting that childcare contract can be finished that way. I would still recommend that childcare but advice to have a alternative option to cover yourself in case of any issues. Thank you Zelly, Adela and Kidan- you girls doing amazing job and helping kids to develop in home like environment, thank you for help, not sure what happened and why we been let down like that, but we will miss you. Lot of love from Erik

Lexi babysat my kids on several occasions and every time my eldest would talk about her non stop the next day and absolutely loved spending his time with her. She really went out of her way to figure out what the kids enjoyed and took the time to focus on them and make it feel like mummy and daddy going out was exciting time because they got time to play with Lexi.
I was very uncertain and nervous about leaving them with a baby sitter for the first time and Lexi was perfect in reassuring me and keeping in touch with photo's and updates on things they were doing which helped me to know that they were both settled happy and carrying on with their usual routines which really helped me to relax and enjoy my time too.
Couldn't have asked for a better person to introduce it my kids!!
2 boys aged 1 and 3
Ellie has been great at every stage. Most importantly the kids loved her and had a great time and we'll absolutely be asking her back.
Ellie took the time to ask details about what the kids liked and didn't like as well as the important things like allergies medical requirements etc.
She visited us to get to know the family before the first actual baby sitting booking, and was still happy to be flexible given that my youngest son slept through that entire session 🤦
I first went to Ellie in a bit of panic as a pre booked sitter hadn't turned and she was really helpful in trying to find a way she could support what we were looking for at literally a few hours notice. We didn't end up needing her service that time but booked in a future session.
Ellie made sure the kids were fed and they were both soundly asleep by the time we got home. They haven't stopped taking about her and asking when she'll be back.
She's a reliable, trustworthy and thoughtful person to be comfortable with giving her the privilege/burden (delete as appropriate from hour to hour) of caring for your children.
We started bringing our daughter to Mahsa when she was 9 months old, and she exceeded all our expectations. Our daughter was always all smiles both when being dropped off and when being picked up. She absolutely loved spending time there.
It’s amazing how much they did. Baking, crafting, painting, lovely birthday parties, the most magical Christmas setup, trips to Kew Gardens, the Wetlands and so much more. We truly didn’t even know places like this exist. Mahsa sends pictures every day showing what they’ve been up to, and even our grandparents back home were amazed. Everyone in our family just felt so lucky to have found her.
She always went above and beyond, putting her heart into everything. She was also always flexible and accommodating, which made our lives so much easier. The atmosphere and setting she created was truly magical. A place full of joy, exploring and learning.
We relocated to London from abroad and honestly couldn’t have managed without her. We could not have hoped for a better place for our daughter to grow up in, and we will never forget it.
David has been providing my children (Year 4 and 7) with maths tuition for the last few months and I’ve really noticed a difference. My youngest has struggled being in the classroom and David has been able to build up my sons’s confidence. My eldest is learning below his years and finds it difficult to concentrate and take in what is being taught but David is very patient. The lessons are fun and engaging and both boys really enjoy their lessons. Would highly recommend!
I cannot recommend Ms Alice highly enough. From the very beginning, she showed genuine care, patience, and understanding towards my child. She always made time for him as an individual, ensuring he felt supported, valued, and happy in her care.
My child is very active, and Ms Alice handled this wonderfully. Instead of seeing it as a challenge, she embraced his energy and found positive, creative ways to channel it. Through engaging activities and thoughtful guidance, she helped him explore his energy in a constructive and enjoyable way.
What truly sets Ms Alice apart is the support she offered me as a parent as well. She regularly shared helpful ideas and practical suggestions on how I could better support my child at home, which made a real difference for us.
Her dedication, warmth, and professionalism are outstanding. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone so committed and passionate about what she does.
