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.
Fatuma looked after our then 21-month-old daughter, and we had a lovely experience with her. Our daughter can take a little while to warm up to someone new, so I was a bit worried at first, but Fatuma was patient with her, playing with her and giving her the time she needed to feel comfortable. She warmed up to Fatuma very quickly and really grew fond of her.
Fatuma was punctual and great at communicating with me in advance, which helped put my mind at ease. It’s been almost two months since Fatuma looked after my daughter and she still talks about her!
Melissa Stanley was our full-time nanny for three years, from July 2023 to Feb 2026, and we could not recommend her more highly.
Melissa is a born nurturer, teacher and gentle leader. With her Montessori background, she has an exceptional ability to create an environment where children can learn new skills, build confidence and develop independence, all while feeling happy, secure and loved. She brings a wonderful sense of playfulness to everything she does.
Our two boys instantly clicked with Melissa, and she quickly became an incredibly important part of their lives — and of our family.
During her time with us, Melissa taught them countless skills, including learning to read, riding a bike, sewing and potty training, to name just a few. What makes her particularly special, however, is the way she connects with children. She has an incredible ability to hold their attention, understand what they need and encourage them with calmness, patience and warmth. Under her care, our boys became more confident, capable and enthusiastic learners.
Melissa became part of our family and continues to be so. We miss having her with us very much and feel incredibly privileged to have had her care for and influence our boys during such important years of their lives.
We would recommend Melissa wholeheartedly to any family looking for a warm, capable, trustworthy and exceptionally nurturing nanny.

We were so nervous to take our daughter to a childminder. She was extremely clingy, and not very good with new people, even family.
Turns out we were worried about nothing! Our daughter took so little time to get used to it which is testament to Naj's experience. Now when we drop her off, she does a little bounce and smile when she sees Naj and Salma.
Naj is so good with sending photo updates, she keeps such a detailed and honest diary so you know how your child has been throughout the day which is something that's really important to me. It's also really lovely just to see how much a childminder cares for your child. She also did such an adorable birthday party for my daughter's first birthday.
I highly recommend Naj!
Lottie and Jon looked after my son when I returned to work. My son loved his time at Lottie and Jon’s. They provided him with a range of excellent activities for my son to develop his learning. They regularly went on trips outside of the setting so that my son had plenty of opportunities to explore the outdoors. It was great to receive daily updates and photographs. My son still talks fondly about his time at Lottie and Jon.
My daughter thrived whilst with Songita. We had lots of communication so we could continue her learning at home, and she came on leaps and bounds whilst she was with her. My daughter settled in really quickly, and it really felt like a home from home for her. The food provision was excellent. It was really nice to have the app so we could have updates from her throughout the day. We really loved that Songita used our daughters interests to then plan sessions for later in the week, she was always excited about what she had been doing when we picked her up.

My little boy loves spending time at Sabella's house. She has a wide variety of toys and activities for children of different ages, and he especially loves being out in the garden. Sabella keeps her house clean and provides healthy snacks, and she keeps me informed throughout the day so I know my little one is well looked after.
Yolanda was an absolutely fabulous childminder for our little one. He started with her at 10 months old and she was the first person we had left our baby with apart from family.
Her childminder setting in her own home is really well set up for little ones. Everything she does with the children is focussed on development and learning and we found our baby came on so much even in a few weeks and months with her including increasing his gestures and words that he started to use. He loved being with Yolanda and the other children and he could really learn from them. She also makes sure she does enriching activities with the children each day, including outside time and sensory play. She clearly has a huge amount of experience with early years development and education, and follows safe sleep guidelines meticulously.
Yolanda took the time to really help him to settle in at the beginning and he absolutely loved going there each day. She was great at communicating with us, providing us with photo updates throughout the day which helped us to feel connected to them. Our baby absolutely loved her food and he got to try lots of new nutritious foods - he ate better than we do!
Yolanda is such a kind, caring and professional presence - we had complete peace of mind when we left our baby with her each day and we cannot recommend her highly enough. We are only sad that we can't continue with her as we are relocating overseas!
We absolutely love Lynn and could not be happier with the care she gives our daughter. She is so kind, caring and attentive, and our daughter is always happy and excited to see her. Lynn creates such a warm, safe and fun environment, and it’s lovely to see how much our daughter has grown in confidence since being with her. We really appreciate everything Lynn does and would highly recommend her to any parent!
We are blown away by how well our little boy is doing under Louise’s care. Louise took so much time and care to ensure he settled really well. She creates such a warm, caring, and fun environment. From spending time in local parks to painting and baking - his days are filled with variety and he loves his time there. We can’t recommend Louise highly enough!
Eliza looked after my (EBF at the time!) 9 month old when I had to go back to work, Eliza was bubbly and professional from the moment we met her and when my son struggled with settling at first she was patient and communicated excellently with us. He loved hanging out with her lovely group of children and they did some great activities (even during the heatwave!). Eliza went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable and took things like struggles with sleep in her stride. She is a kind and happy person who clearly loves working with kids and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder in the area.
We couldn’t be happier with Morgan’s Playhouse and the wonderful care our twin boys have received.
As first-time parents, leaving our boys for the first time was such an emotional and worrying step for us. However, from the very beginning, they have been so supportive, reassuring and understanding. They regularly keep us updated throughout the day, sharing what the boys have been doing, how they’ve been getting on and all the little things they’ve achieved. These updates have made such a huge difference and have helped us feel much less guilty and more confident about leaving them.
The boys have only been at Morgan’s Playhouse for a few weeks, but we have already noticed such a positive difference in their development. They are learning, growing in confidence and developing new skills, and it’s lovely to see how much they are enjoying their time there.
We are so grateful for the care, patience and attention they give to our boys. Knowing they are happy, safe and being so well looked after gives us such peace of mind. We genuinely couldn’t ask for more and would highly recommend Morgan’s Playhouse to any parent looking for a caring and nurturing setting

She is very accommodating with days and times . I love the fact my daughter is in safe , nurturing hands and is thriving .
My son attended Marcy Tots in 2024 and I will always be grateful to Carla for the care given to him. Carla is incredibly caring, attentive and genuinely invested in the children. She communicates so well with parents and always made me feel reassured that my son was happy, safe and well looked after.
They provided thoughtful activities, trips and themed days which were all lovely touches and my son absolutely thrived in their care.
I couldn’t recommend Carla, Marcy tots enough. They provide such a warm, caring and nurturing environment and I will always be grateful for everything they did for my son.
Tristian looks after my daughter during tje school holidays and is fabulous with her. My daughter has speech delay, but she understands her perfectly and caters to her needs. Highly recommend
We honestly couldn’t say enough amazing things about Danielle and her team. Having had our previous children in other childcare settings, we can really appreciate just how special this setting is and how exceptional the whole team are.
The warmth and energy they bring to the setting is incredible, and our little boy is always so happy to see them at drop-off, which gives us such peace of mind.
They provide so many wonderful structured activities and learning opportunities, and truly go above and beyond — especially with their monthly enhanced activities, which are always so thoughtful and exciting for the children.
The facilities are amazing, with a fantastic outdoor space, and it’s clear how much thought and care goes into creating an environment where the children can learn, explore and have fun. We also really appreciate the regular updates they provide, as it means we always feel involved in what he’s been doing throughout the day.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found them and to know they are playing such a special part in our boy’s development as he grows. You can really see how happy, confident and engaged he is, and that means everything to us.
Thank you to Danielle and the whole team for everything you do. Having experienced other settings, we genuinely can’t recommend this one highly enough. We feel so lucky our little boy gets to spend his days here! ❤️
My son Josh spent around a year and a half with Michelle, attending two days a week, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care he received. Michelle is warm, caring and always made sure he was happy, settled and enjoying himself. He loved going to Michelle’s and we always appreciated the photos and updates of what they had been getting up to. We would happily recommend Michelle to any parent looking for a wonderful childminder.
Elaine is an absolutely fantastic childminder, and we feel so lucky to have found her. Our son has been going to her since he was 9 months old, and from the moment we met her, we instantly felt comfortable knowing he would be in loving, caring and nurturing hands.
Elaine always keeps us updated with pictures and messages, which gives us complete peace of mind knowing how happy and well cared for he is. He absolutely loves going to her and always waves and blows her kisses goodbye, which says it all!
It’s been amazing to see how much he has progressed since being with Elaine. She has become such an important part of his life, and we truly appreciate everything she does. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough! ❤️
