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.
Julie is a rare find! So competent and my kids loved spending the day with her. she was attentive, professional, experienced and has a natural caring nature. I knew as soon as we exchanged messages I could trust her. The kids loved spending the day with her, there was regular contact and lots of outdoor play. couldn't have asked for more and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Thank you Julie ❤️

Lisa is a gem of a childminder and we feel so lucky to have found her. She really is a rare talent; excelling at what she does, and proving how such wonderful attention to detail can really help shape your child. The love she has for what she does really shines through. The environment is perfect, and our little girl actively gets excited to see her Lisa that she runs into the gate ahead of us every time. We can not rate Lisa any higher if we tried. Thanks to Lisa we feel really happy, safe and confident that our little girl is having the best care and active learning in her early years. Thank you Lisa. ❤️
We were Becky’s first childminding family (following her extensive years of professional childcare including nurseries and nannying). She looked after our eldest for 7 months before she went to school and is still looking after our almost 2 year old. She manages to provide an exciting and stimulating environment for children of varying ages. My daughters have both loved taking part in the creative play and crafts Becky organises which she clearly puts a lot of time and thought into! Becky also takes them out on trips to the park, library, and occasionally on the bus. They have both almost always been happy at drop off and both buzzing with all the fun they’ve had at the end of the day. Becky is highly reliable and professional and has responded positively to a couple of requests re: car seats and nap timings for our youngest. She also sends regular updates with lovely photos of all the fun they have had. Thank you Becky for taking such good care of our girls!

My son has been going to Caroline since he turned one and I can’t recommend enough. My son is very fond of her and he is always happy to go to her place. This says a lot about how caring, supportive and amazing she is. Caroline does different activities with my son which has helped him immensely in building his confidence. My son will start school in September this year and Caroline has already prepared him in getting ready for school. My son now can independently wear his clothes and shoes, can recognise numbers up to 20 and can also write his name. All thanks to Caroline’s dedication and hardwork in the past two years.
We were so lucky to have Chloe
She’s works so well with our son and understood his needs. Chloe was absolutely brilliant with helping our son with exam prep (7+)
Chloe always kept us updated, gave us the appropriate guidance, well planned and punctual. Couldn’t thank Chloe enough, highly recommended!
Our little girl has been looked after by Jill for the last 2 years and we cant speak highly enough of Jill. We say ‘looked after’ but its so much more than that as Jill has taken the best care of our little one and progressed her in so many ways. Jill came recommended to us- we didn’t know Jill prior but, we’re so glad we chose her. Great comms, daily updates, great food, lots of fun had and a happy child always ready when we pick her up with lots to say about her day! Another on the way and therefore we’ll definitely be using Jill for childcare again, soon!
Wonderful childminder. She is kind, patient and professional. I always felt confident leaving my child in her care.
I have used Rabeya for almost two years since my daughter started reception. As a full-time working parent, I needed someone reliable, flexible, and easy to communicate with, and Rabeya has been all of that. My daughter has always been happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for quality childcare.
My son has been with Heather since February 2023, and from the very beginning she has treated him as though he were part of her own family. He recently started school and still talks about her constantly — he misses her so much, which says everything about the care she provides.
Heather is an exceptional childminder. She offers a wonderful variety of trips and experiences, including visits to the beach, Sealife Centre, woods, parks, and local farms. She regularly attends toddler groups in the area and has great links with other childminders, which has helped my son build friendships with lots of other children.
She is incredibly creative and always plans themed crafts and activities for occasions such as Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day and more. She also tailors activities to each child’s interests — my son loves space, and she went out of her way to read space‑themed stories, find colouring books, and plan activities around his favourite topic.
Meals and snacks are always thoughtful and fun. She prepares lovely “picky plates” with fruit and veg, and even uses cookie cutters to make sandwiches in different shapes, which my son absolutely loved.
Heather also creates her own activities — for example, at Halloween she made little spider mazes using tweezers to help develop fine motor skills. Her imagination and effort shine through in everything she does.
On a personal level, Heather has gone above and beyond for us on several occasions, including helping with pick‑ups when my car wasn’t working. She is easy‑going, supportive, and genuinely makes life easier as a working parent. She is reliable, rarely takes annual leave, and is always committed to the children in her care.
I couldn’t recommend Heather highly enough. She has been a huge part of my son’s early years, and we are so grateful for everything she has done for him.

Our eldest daughter has been going to Sara's for 7 and a half years, and our youngest for a year now and the care she provides goes above and beyond any other childcare setting we have ever experience. Sara creates a home from home for the children so they are always excited to go to be in her care! Sara puts on activities for the children for all occasions which they thoroughly enjoy and talk about continuously after. The days out she does with the children are beyond our expectations and are both engaging, educational and enjoyable for children of all ages. We couldnt wish for a better person to look after our children and they have both thrived in her care. The caring nature she has towards every child individually is second to none, and she takes the time to learn every single childs likes and tailors activities towards these too! We will never be able to thank Sara enough for all she does for our children.
After a rocky attempt at settling in our then 11 months old daughter at nursery, which resulted in more distress for her than we were prepared for, we were nervous about her starting childcare away from home in general.
Upon meeting Rachel, we were immediately reassured. She is an experienced professional, who is caring and a natural with this age group. She is clearly really thoughtful about her approach, which starts with the settling in process. She takes time and care to understand each child as an individual they are, and you can tell how passionate she is about her role. Within a week, our daughter was settled and happy.
Rachel takes the children out on park walks and to her allotment. Our daughter's language and social skills have really developed already in the few months that she had spent there.
We would 100% recommend Rachel to any parents looking for a home from home environment for their child.
My son has been attending Golden Hearts for 2 weeks now and although still early days, he has progressed massively !
Lynda provides fun creative but educational activities for the children which is a good balance.
Lynda has an app where everything is uploaded ,mealtimes, personal care, nappy changes, sleep times, feeds and photos of activities the children are doing , this is extremely useful especially so I can check in at anytime to see how my son is doing throughout the day.
I was very apprehensive putting my son into childcare when returning to work as he is still young, but I’m very confident and happy with the care, support, education and love Lynda provides.
Lynda has a genuine caring, loving and nurturing personality and home, where I feel confident my son is safe.
I feel at ease knowing I can contact Lynda anytime throughout the day and her response is always very quick.
I highly recommend Lynda at Golden Hearts Tiney Nursery!

Katie made us feel so at ease when she babysat for our 1 year old. She came to meet her a week before to make sure we were all a good fit for each other. Katie made a real effort to interact with our daughter and was brilliant at keeping her relaxed. Her communication was really prompt and clear. We can’t recommend her enough ☺️

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Jasmin caring for our 1-year-old. From the very beginning, she showed exceptional patience, warmth, and genuine love for our child. She is attentive, nurturing, and always fully engaged, making us feel completely confident and at ease while our baby was in her care.
Jasmin has a wonderful understanding of age-appropriate development and consistently supported our child’s growth through play, learning activities, and positive routines. She is reliable, punctual, and communicates clearly, always keeping us informed about our child’s day, milestones, and needs. Highly recomend!
Cannot recommend Jen highly enough! Right from the start Jen worked hard to ensure both mine and my babies needs were met, establishing nurturing bonds and offering a number of settling sessions to help both me and my baby settle. I am provided regular updates throughout the day and Jen shared an overview of the day on collection. My baby enjoys outings and excellent activities at her wonderful home and garden setting. Jen truly does go above and beyond for all the children. I am grateful our baby is one of the small ratio she works with.
I highly recommend Kathryn, she looked after my 7 year boy and she done a fantastic job and shes very lovely and friendly too. Very clean and tidy. My boy was well fed and entertained changed and she got him to go sleep at a great time also communication was on point :) thank you to kathryn :)

We have known Zsofia for years now and she's been wonderful with our 3 kids. She is very punctual, calm, caring and engaged with kids play, music, learning and healthy snack preparation. My kids always ask about her and when she is coming again, they adore her which is always a great sign 😊 I would definitely recommend her to other families and will see her again for AdHoc care in the future!
Anne Marie has worked with us for over a year. She started at the birth of my second son and helped me through the toughest year of my life whilst he worked abroad. She is nurturing and playful with my 2 year old and has built a wonderful relationship with my baby. She goes above and beyond, is reliable, hard working and takes instructions well. Helps with housework where possible and took on additional responsibilities when I was ill. She sings, cooks healthy treat for my baby and is very clean. We couldn’t have asked for more.
