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.
Stacie kindly looked after my two boys (aged 7 and 6) for 4 hours each day for a week whilst we were on October half term down in Newquay. Stacie was very reliable. Good with entertaining the boys both with play and learning activities. The boys really liked Stacie too. Stacie was proactive in recommending things to do, which was much appreciated. Happy to recommend
Well what can I say about Nicki, she is absolutely amazing with my little one who has been going to her since she was about 7 months old and is now 15 months old. My little one gets so excited when she hears Nicki’s voice at the door and that’s before she has even seen her. Nicki has a very warm and loving home from home setting and there is nothing that she wouldn’t do for any of her children in her care. My near 11 year old also goes there after school when I am working and is so sad that she only has a year left going to her. My youngest has come on leaps and bounds since going to Nicki’s as she is really encouraging with walking etc etc. I was so scared of doing the baby led weaning but Nicki gave me so many tips, advice and encouragement that within a couple months I was very confident in myself. Nicki does a whole bunch of activities with the children and I love when Hopencomes home with all her little crafts
We’ve known Sandy for 10 months, whilst she cared for our 7 year old daughter.
She’s an incredibly Nanny who made such a positive impact in her role and our daughter loved their time together.
Sandy has many wonderful traits, she is hugely creative and resourceful in finding fun activities. She’s patient and kind, and helped our daughter to regain her confidence. Sandy is reliable and never let us down.
We will always remember the contribution that Sandy made to our family and thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and competent Nanny.
Leah was a wonderful maternity nurse for our newborn. She is exceptionally skilled with babies: calm, gentle, and confident in her approach. She did an excellent job helping our baby establish a good routine and sleep through the night by 10 weeks. Leah has a very soothing presence and a natural way with infants that inspires trust. We’re grateful for the care she provided - especially when we needed someone last minute! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for expert support in getting their baby to self-settle and sleep well! Thank you, Leah!
Antonella and Meriem, and Sarah their assistant, are incredible. My husband and I don’t have a huge “village” we can call upon for help, but since starting our little one’s childcare here, we have. Our baby couldn’t be happier, he’s so excited to go every day and has learnt so much with them.
Their communication with us is great, we get photos daily and we can see how much they care about him. It makes such a difference knowing he’s being looked after by someone who we trust and who know’s our little boy so well.
I can’t give them enough praise! So happy to have found them :)

Nicoleta babysat our 2yo in the evening, at our house. We've found her reliable, easy to communicate with and a lovely person who's put our child at ease and attended to her needs. We received regular updates, including photos and videos, of their time together, which was reassuring. We'd love for Nicoleta to babysit for us again soon and would recommend her to local families.

Have been with Nads for over 5 years. She provides an exceptional level of care. Her home is welcoming, safe, and full of stimulating toys and learning opportunities. Our child has grown so much in confidence and independence since being with her. We appreciate her reliability, flexibility, and the genuine love she shows for the children. We highly recommend her to any family looking for quality childcare. We couldn’t ask for a better childminder.
My little one was just 6-7m old when I went back to work so was nervous leaving him but he's so happy and thrived with Caroline and at a setting with lots of activities and social interaction.
We're really happy with the communications, the updates and pictures during the day and seeing him happy and enjoying his time there.

We feel so lucky to have had Miha looking after our child. From the very beginning, she made our little one feel comfortable, safe, and truly cared for. It’s clear that Miha has a genuine love for children and takes great pride in helping them learn and grow.
Our child always came home happy, full of stories, and excited to go back the next day — which says it all! We’ve noticed such wonderful progress in his confidence and social skills, and we know Miha played a big part in that.
We can’t thank Miha enough for all the warmth, patience, and care. We would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone who treats every child as their own.
Ps: My son Orion loved her cooking!

Hayley has been taking care of our son Lenny since he was 9 months old and I can honestly say I would never consider taking him anywhere else! Hayley’s house is home from home for Lenny and I love getting daily updates on what he’s been up too. With only a small group of children i know that Lenny will receive personalised care in a setting that isn’t overstimulating or overcrowded. Hayley takes the children out regularly to parks and outdoor spaces which Lenny loves as well as activities like baking, crafts and role playing. We also hired Hayley to take care of Lenny for the duration of our wedding in 2024 where she stayed all day and then took Lenny home in the evening where he stayed the night with her and it was such a relief that us and the family could enjoy our wedding without having to worry about what Lenny was up to or keeping him entertained. Would highly recommend to anybody looking for a childminder in littleover and surrounding areas.

Hello, I just wanted to say how over the moon we are with the care that Miss Jiba and her family have provided Ronan. Ronan is extremely happy and greatly looks forward to be going to Miss Jibas. I know for certain that Ronan feels safe, relaxed and is encouraged to be himself. I could not have found better people to look after my son and I would recommend Miss Jiba to any parent, Thank you with all our hearts
Our twins have been with Sarah for 2 years - both at the current house and at her previous home near Willesden. They have blossomed and we are very appreciative of all Sarah and her team have done for us. Flexible, kind, communicative. We trust her completely and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for childcare. Thanks!
Due to a change in circumstances, I was in a hurry to find childcare for my 1 year old when I found Karens profile. I didn't really know what to expect but after meeting Karen and seeing her home I felt at ease I enrolled Marley 4 days a week. He has now just turned 4 and to this day he still loves going there. I receive a great amount of photos and detailed updates every day, they spend lots of time outdoors, with other children and in learning environments, and as a first time Mum Karen gave me so much great advice. I would recommend Karen in a heartbeat and will be sad when the time comes that he doesn't attend A Real Madhouse anymore. Thank you for everything, Karen x
Louise is absolutely fabulous with my three children. I have employed Louise over 4 years to look after my three young boys. They are currently aged 2, 4 and 6. My middle son suffers from Global Developmental Delay.
I totally entrust Louise to look after my children with their individual needs. She knows how to engage with each child, specific to their ages. Louise has looked after my children for large lengths of time (long weekends) without my husband or I being there. The children love being looked after by her and thoroughly enjoy her company.
Louise is extremely reliable and professional. She is sound in her safeguarding knowledge and it’s a comfort to me, knowing my children are well looked after in her care.

We couldn’t be happier with the care Mandy-Rose receives from Sarah. From the very first day, she made us feel completely at ease — welcoming, kind, and incredibly professional. Our 3 year old daughter absolutely loves spending time with her and her staff. Always comes home happy, full of stories, and often with a new skill or craft to show off!
Sarah provides a warm, safe, and nurturing environment that feels like a true home-from-home. She plans fun, educational activities that support learning and development, while also giving the children plenty of time for play and creativity. Communication is fantastic — we always know how our daughter’s day has gone, and it’s clear how much love and attention goes into everything she does.
We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful childminder. We wish we could have found her from the beginning. We couldn’t recommend Sarah highly enough!
We feel very sad to be leaving Anna to move away! She has looked after both of my children from the age of 10 months old and I couldn't recommend her enough. Leaving your child with someone else can be nerve wracking but I knew instantly that I could trust Anna to take care of my children (and give them lots of love & cuddles!). She is so kind, positive and has such a warm nature. Whether Anna takes them to the pumpkin patch, garden centre to see the fish or Wisley, they have the best outings and they're always coming home with crafts. She is fab at keeping us updated and we receive the sweetest photos daily. It feels like Anna truly cares about them and I feel like we struck gold in finding her!! My eldest jumps up and down with excitement when I tell him he's going to Anna's house in the morning and always comes back telling me what a fun day he has had. Thank you for everything you've done over the past two and a half years Anna, we will miss you so much xxx

Emma has been my daughter’s childminder for a while now. My daughter is always happy to see Emma and her children. Emma has provided a warm lovely setting which my daughter feels safe and secure in, this is so important to me as a parent. A variety of activities are provided by Emma daily, these can include sensory play, outdoor play and role play for example. My daughter also loves music and dancing at Emma’s :) my daughters development has come on so far since she has had Emma as a childminder, we are so pleased we found Emma!
Thank you Emma xx
