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 found Laura and Fab by luck when looking for a childminder for our oldest daughter, who is now 6. Her two brothers (4 and 1) have followed her there for their years of childcare before school nursery. We have been so happy to have found them, they really love the kids they look after, it feels like a very Italian family experience. The kids are out and about every day in playgroups and the park/mud kitchens and all sit down to eat together. It's flexible and personal and everything we hoped for in childcare.

Laura looked after our son from 7 months to four years old. We couldn’t recommend her child care highly enough. Our son absolutely loved his time with her and was looked after with the highest level of care. Laura has a brilliant understanding of young children and provides them with a wonderful home like environment for them to play, learn and socialise with other children. Laura was brilliant at communicating with us about how are son was throughout his time with her providing us with many pictures and updates. Highly recommended!
We felt incredibly lucky to have found Laura!
Both of my children stayed with her, and from day one, they were welcomed with warmth and genuine affection (My kids still ask to go and visit her). Her home is a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where my kids not only felt secure but truly thrived. I was totally at peace and relaxed when leaving them with her as I knew they were in safe hands.
Every day was filled typically in the morning with adventures outdoor (wheather permitting) either to the Railway Fields or to Finsbury park and the afternoon with some creative activities, dancing, reading or simply playing with the other kids.
Not to forget the food... she cooks it from scratch and both my kids loved it! She kept us updated with videos and by chatting at the end of the day, which really helped, especially at the beginning.
We’re so grateful for the love and care she gave our children! I wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a childminder who goes above and beyond.
My son was 2 when he started going to Laura and Fab and I couldn't be more happy of my choice! Laura and Fab are now looking after my twin daughters (they started going at 10 month old) and it is amazing to see them grow in such a loving environment. They go to the park, to playgroup or would have art and craft activities at home. They are never bored!
I could never thank Laura and Fab enough for taking so good care of my kids ❤️

Laura and Fab looked after my little boy from 1 year until he started school and I could not have asked for a friendlier, more caring setup. She looked after him like he was her own and I always felt confident he was happy and safe. Laura didn’t have a sick day in the whole time I was with her and was always available for last min childcare emergencies. Highly recommend!
Shannon is the best-- she is incredibly communicative, professional, and most important, attentive and kind to the children in her care. Our son loved playing with her, and amazingly she matched his non-stop energy. Shannon is easy to work with, highly competent, responsible, and adaptable. Cannot recommend her enough!
We’ve had a fantastic experience with Laura at The Young Ones Childminding Service. From day one, Laura created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment for our child. It’s clear how much care and thought goes into every part of the day from creative activities and outdoor play, to trips out and calm nap times.
Our child settled in quickly and was always happy and excited to go each week, which speaks volumes. We saw real growth in our little boys confidence, language, and social skills, throughout his time with Laura.
It’s reassuring as a parent to know your child is in such good hands, we were always so grateful for the support and communication Laura provided. We highly recommend Laura to any family looking for a caring, professional and genuinely lovely childminder.
She arrived late but I can understand when she explained situation with bus. She dug in with helping with my children and came to few activities with us then did few chores. always cleaned up after herself and children. Helped me with bedtime routine. Agreed to date and time again- but she never answered her phone or replied to any of her messages. I was left in limbo trying to figure out weather to hold out or not. She said on day her phone would be fixed but can use what's app on her laptop. This was no excuse. I offered to pay for her up to date dbs she didn't seem to mind this and appeared to be understanding why this was important to have the checks carried out. I've tried few days after. Nothing. It's a shame she couldn't be upfront and follow up what she said she was happy to do. This isn't fair on children who have people come to babysit them. I lost out on few others hiring her which also means I've lost few options. Would have been professional and mature thing to do is let me know either way. All the best though!
Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have found Maissa and her team! From the first meeting with our daughter it felt as if we had known her forever and my daughter who had previously had bad experiences at nursery felt instantly comfortable.
Maissa ensured our daughter was settled and took the extra time and effort to focus on our daughters eating as she was quite anxious in a new setting. Maissa has great communication skills and her family approach meant it felt as though we were leaving our daughter with family.
Our daughter progressed so much and learnt lots from Maissa and her team, giving her the skills to start Primary School with no concerns.
I would highly highly recommend Maissa for childcare services for the peace of mind that your child is in the best hands
Claire is truly a remarkable person who has brought so much warmth and care into our son's life.
Her kindness, patience, and dedication mean the world to us, and we feel incredibly grateful to have someone so nurturing looking after him each day. She not only keeps him safe and happy, but goes above and beyond to teach him new things, helping him grow and thrive in every way possible.
Without hesitation, we would recommend Claire to anyone looking for someone wonderful to care for their child. Her genuine love and commitment shine through in everything she does, and we truly believe there’s no one better for the job.
Claire, you are cherished by our family. Thank you for pouring your heart into all that you do and for the endless support you give our son. We love and appreciate you more than words can express!!

This was my first time using a childminder for my 2-year-old daughter, and I honestly couldn’t have found anyone better than Renata!
She is incredibly kind, caring, honest, reliable, calm, and understanding. From the very first day, I felt completely confident that my daughter was in safe and loving hands. Renata keeps her engaged with fun and educational activities, makes sure she eats well, and always creates a warm, happy atmosphere.
My little one always comes home excited and full of stories about what they did together — and she really misses Renata when they don’t see each other!
I’m so grateful to have found Renata through this app and would 100% recommend her to any parent looking for a wonderful, trustworthy childminder.

Claire is a wonderful person and we trust her with our son. She's doing a great job looking after him and educating him all the things he needs to know at his age.
Would highly recommend her and honestly think she would be the best person to look after your child.
Claire,
we love you and all the things you do and provide for our son!

I’m so pleased to recommend Sophie, who looked after our little boy from six to ten months of
age, twice a week. From the very beginning she was warm, kind, and attentive, and she quickly
built a lovely bond with him.
She made sure his days were full of fun and learning — taking him along to baby classes,
playgroups, and the park. We could see how much he enjoyed his time with her, and we really
valued how she encouraged his curiosity and development in such a gentle, caring way.
As parents, we always felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. She is reliable,
thoughtful, and has a natural way with children that gave us so much peace of mind. Most
importantly, our little boy adored her.
We feel very lucky to have had her support during this stage of our son’s life, and we wouldn’t
hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and full of
warmth.
My little girl Evelyn has been going to see Sally for over 12 months not only did she make space for her but also has taken my son Lachlan when required.
Throughout this time Sally has demonstrated exceptional professionalism, dedication and expertise in early years childcare.
With many years in the industry she has a depth of understanding of child development and provides a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment. She combines warmth, structure and ensures that each day is well organised, educational and above all fun!
Her setting is really a home away from home, the meals she provides are thoughtfully prepared reflecting her commitment to children’s health and well being.
Sally always provides an open dialogue so I feel supported and keeps me involved with every aspect of Evelyn’s development. It’s so apparent that this is not just a job for her she loves her kids and has truly become an extension of my family. I could not recommend Sally any higher, my only worry is what I’m going to do next year when Evelyn has to go to school!!
Debbie is a truly exceptional childminder. She and Steph cared for our daughter, Rosie, from just 16 weeks old when I returned to work, and I couldn’t have asked for a more nurturing environment. They kept me well informed with regular updates, and I still treasure the notebooks documenting Rosie’s early days there. Rosie absolutely loved going to Debbie’s and still points out, “That’s Debbie’s!” whenever we pass by.
When our son Rorie joined later on, Debbie and Steph welcomed him with open arms. Their setting offers a wonderful variety of activities to keep little ones engaged — from painting and water play to time in the garden and a fantastic selection of toys. I especially appreciated the nutritious, home-cooked meals that my children always enjoyed.
Debbie makes every child feel special, celebrating birthdays and milestones with genuine care and attention. We will truly miss our time with her and are so grateful for the love, support, and positive influence she has had in helping to raise our children.

I’ve been taking my little girl to see Lola and her mum Sally for over 12 months. From the beginning Lola has provided a warm welcoming and truly homely environment, one where Evelyn has always felt safe and happy. Her home feels like an extension of our own family, the atmosphere is nurturing and relaxed, yet well organized and stimulating. The food she provides is always wholesome and delicious and she goes above and beyond to make sure every child’s individual needs are met. Lola also plans wonder trips and days out, whether it’s days out, creative play or learning new skills, Evelyn is always talking about her adventures!! I can honestly say that Lola has has been a huge part of Evelyn’s growth and happiness, I completely trust her and feel so lucky to have found her.
