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.
Lisa looked after my 4 year old son as I had been let down last minute with childcare.
Lisa was professional, very helpful and accommodating. I was extremely impressed with her setting, routines and true kindness shown to my son.
My son had a great time in Lisa’s care and I would highly recommend her!
I honestly can't recommend Keely and Jamie highly enough.
From the very beginning, they have both gone above and beyond to help my daughter settle in. Leaving your child with someone new is never easy, but they made us all feel so comfortable from day one. They took the time to really get to know her, understand her personality, and make her feel safe, happy, and loved. Seeing how excited she is to go each day says everything.
Their setting genuinely feels like an extension of our family. It's such a warm, caring, and welcoming environment, and you can see how much love and thought goes into everything they do. The values they teach and the way they care for the children really stands out, and it's clear that every child is treated as an individual.
Communication has been incredible too. We always know what she's been up to, how her day's gone, and we never have to worry because we know she's in the best hands. That level of reassurance means so much as a parent.
We're so grateful to have found Love2grow. We honestly couldn't imagine sending her anywhere else. Thank you both for everything ♡
My son has been with Angie since he was just one year old, and for the past three years she has been an incredibly important part of his life. From the very beginning, she welcomed us with open arms and has always treated us like family.
Angie provides such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment, and I have always felt completely confident leaving my son in her care. It is clear how much she genuinely cares for every child, and her kindness, patience, and dedication shine through in everything she does.
She plans a wonderful variety of fun, creative, and educational activities that have played a huge role in my son's learning and development. Thanks to Angie's care and guidance, my son has built a fantastic foundation for his education. I truly believe he couldn't have had a better start in life, and I know the skills, confidence, and love of learning she has given him will stay with him for years to come.
Angie has also helped him build confidence, make wonderful friendships, and reach important milestones. He always comes home happy, full of stories about his day, and proud to show us the beautiful crafts and activities he has taken part in.
Her communication has always been excellent, keeping us updated with photos and messages, which has given us real peace of mind throughout the years.
We are so grateful for the love, care, and support Angie has shown our family. She has truly become part of our family, and we couldn't have asked for a better childminder. I would highly recommend recommend Angie to anyone looking for someone who will care for their child as if they were her own. We will always be thankful for everything she has done for our son and for giving him the very best possible start in life.
Keely & Jamie have been incredible with us and our daughter! As first time parents we were so nervous for the transition to childcare but there was no need as our daughter is thriving and runs towards them everytime! The progression in my child is amazing and I’m so glad we found them when we did. The setting itself is perfect and we love our daily updates x
I honestly couldn’t recommend Claire highly enough.
Frankie started with Claire when he was just 14 months old, and from day one she has been absolutely incredible. Every week she plans lovely days out and exciting activities for the children, giving them so many amazing experiences while helping them learn and grow.
Since being with Claire, Frankie has absolutely blossomed. His speech, confidence and understanding of numbers have come on so much, and we constantly hear comments about how advanced he is for his age. I truly believe that’s down to the love, care and dedication Claire has shown him over the years.
One thing that has always meant so much to us is how amazing Claire has been with Frankie’s milk allergy. She provides his breakfast, lunch and dinner four days a week and has always gone above and beyond to cater for his needs. From buying vegan butter, vegan cheese and plant-based pesto to making sure he always has a delicious alternative whenever the other children are eating something he can’t have, she has never once made him feel different or left out. As a parent, that level of care is priceless.
Over the years, Claire has become so much more than just Frankie’s childminder—she has become part of our family. We are absolutely heartbroken that it’s time for Frankie to move on to big school, and I honestly can’t believe this chapter has come to an end. Although we’re sad to be leaving, I know Claire will always have a special place in our lives.
Thank you, Claire, for loving Frankie as if he were one of your own, for always keeping him safe and happy, for the endless cuddles when he needed them, and for giving him the very best start in life. There is no one else I would ever have trusted with my little boy, and I will be forever grateful for everything you’ve done for our family. We will miss you so much.
Eden spent a trial day caring for our three children and she was absolutely wonderful. From the moment she arrived, she was gentle, attentive, warm and incredibly natural with our 2 year old daughter and then later with our two boys (5 and 10) after school pick up. While we ultimately decided to go in a different direction that slightly better fit our specific schedule and needs, we were thoroughly impressed by her professionalism and care. Any family would be lucky to have her!
I cannot rate Lou enough. My son has a complex heart condition and she is the first person I have trusted besides myself and my family. She goes above and beyond every day to care for the individual needs of all the children. She took special care to learn all about my son and his needs, including requesting a health care plan and training on his equipment. Nothing felt like too much to ask and my son loved every day he was with her. She taught him so much during his time at Lou Lou's Little Ones and the change in his confidence and social skills is remarkable. I truly cannot thank her enough for all she has done for our family and giving my son his first taste of independence in the best possible way. She has set him up perfectly for preschool in September and I can't wait to send my youngest to her too!
Both our daughter and son have been looked after by Sally, Colin and Amber. We couldn’t be happier with the care they have both received.
It can feel very daunting trying to find a childminder, but from the moment we met Sally, Colin and Amber, and saw the beautiful, child centric, and outdoorsy setting we knew our kids would be in safe hands. With loads of opportunities to play outside and do lots of crafts, which they loved.
On top of this, in the 5 years they’ve looked after our two, I can’t recall one day of them letting us down.
We feel very lucky to have found them when we did.
We cannot recommend Seda highly enough. As a qualified medical nurse with experience in a hospital neonatal department, she brings exceptional knowledge, professionalism, and confidence to her role as a maternity nurse.
She cared for our baby over many nights with genuine warmth and an incredible ability to understand exactly what our baby needed. She also provided wonderful support to my wife during those initial months, giving us both reassurance and confidence.
What really stood out was her continued support after her placement, offering thoughtful advice by text and phone on sleep, weaning, and other newborn questions. Her guidance was always practical, reassuring, and evidence-based.
Seda is kind, dependable, and completely trustworthy. We are incredibly grateful for her support and would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for an outstanding maternity nurse.
I cannot recommend Adeola highly enough. She has been an amazing childminder for my son, providing a safe, caring, and nurturing environment where he has been able to learn, grow, and thrive.
From the very beginning, she made both my son and me feel comfortable and supported. She is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about the children she looks after. My son always enjoys his time with her, and it gives me great peace of mind knowing he is happy, well looked after, and engaged in fun and educational activities.
As a working parent, having someone so reliable, flexible, and trustworthy has been invaluable. Adeola communicates well, keeps me updated, and always goes above and beyond to ensure my son's needs are met.
I am incredibly grateful for the care and dedication she has shown, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for an exceptional childminder.
We were so fortunate to have Amy as our son's full-time nanny for over a year, starting in October 2023 when he was six months old, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
From the very beginning, Amy brought a wonderful combination of professionalism and genuine warmth to our home. She was reliable, organised, and took her role seriously — but more than that, she truly cared for our son as an individual. She was attentive to his needs, responsive to our guidance as parents, and always made him feel safe and loved.
Watching our son thrive in Amy's care gave us real peace of mind, and that is something that is hard to put a price on. She is the kind of nanny that families are very lucky to find.
Any family would be in wonderful hands with Amy — we would not hesitate to recommend her wholeheartedly.
Claire has been looking after our youngest daughter since she was just nine months old and our eldest daughter after school, and I can say without hesitation that finding her has been one of the best things that has happened to our family.
Claire is so much more than a childminder. She has become a truly special part of our lives and has played, and continues to play, such an important role in our daughters' childhoods. There is nobody else I would leave my children with so completely, confidently and happily.
From the moment we met her, Claire's warmth, kindness and genuine love for the children in her care shone through. She has created something incredibly special at Claire's Curiosity Cottage. Every day is filled with fun, adventure and learning. Whether it's trips to the park, visits to the zoo, attending local groups, exploring the outdoors or taking part in imaginative activities at home, Claire is always on the go, creating magical experiences and happy memories for the children she cares for.
What makes Claire exceptional is the way she nurtures every child as an individual. She instinctively knows when to encourage, when to comfort and when to celebrate their achievements. She has helped our daughters grow into confident, curious and happy little girls, always supporting them with endless patience, care and enthusiasm. Our girls absolutely adore her, and the excitement on their faces when they know they're spending the day with Claire speaks volumes.
As parents, there is no greater comfort than knowing your children are safe, loved and thriving. Claire gives us that peace of mind every single day. Through milestones, busy periods and everything in between, she has been a constant source of support, not only to our daughters but to our whole family.
I honestly cannot thank Claire enough for everything she has done, and continues to do, for us. The dedication, energy and love she pours into her work is extraordinary, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Claire has played, and continues to play, a hugely important part in our family's story, and we will always be grateful for the impact she has had on our daughters' lives.
If you are fortunate enough to secure a place at Claire's Curiosity Cottage, your child will be in the very best hands.
Five stars simply don't feel enough. Claire is truly one in a million.
As a mum, I honestly couldn’t ask for a better childminder. Knowing that my child is happy, safe, and so well cared for gives me complete peace of mind every day.
She is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about every child she looks after. My child absolutely loves spending time with her and is always excited to go. I’ve seen such a positive difference in their confidence, social skills, and development since being in her care.
She provides a warm, nurturing environment with lots of fun and educational activities, and she always keeps me updated on how my child’s day has been. It’s clear that childcare isn’t just a job to herit’s something she’s truly passionate about.
I feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any mum looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dedicated to looking after their child. Thank you for everything you do!
I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder for my daughter. From the very beginning, she has created a safe, caring, and nurturing environment where my daughter has truly thrived. Being a first time mum, I was very nervous sending my daughter, but she settled in very quickly with Ana.
My daughter is always happy and excited to go, which speaks volumes. It’s clear how much love and attention she gives to each child, and I have seen such positive development in my daughter’s confidence, social skills, and learning.
Communication has always been excellent — I was updated regularly, with photos throughout the day which gave me real peace of mind. Inaya loved the regular trips to the park and plenty of outdoor play.
I couldn’t recommend Ana highly enough. I am so gutted that we have had to cut this journey short. Thank you so much for what you have done for Inaya. We will miss you!!
Fatima has been an incredible childminder, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Hannah has been with her for the past two years, and throughout that time Fatima has provided a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where she has truly flourished.
From day one, Fatima welcomed Hannah as if she were part of her own family. She has always been kind, patient, caring, and attentive, and it has given us complete peace of mind knowing our daughter was so well looked after every day.
Hannah has learned so much during her time with Fatima. Her confidence, independence, communication, and social skills have grown tremendously, thanks to the wonderful activities, encouragement, and support Fatima provides. Every day was filled with fun, learning, creativity, and genuine care.
What makes Fatima so special is the love and dedication she puts into every child she looks after. She builds such meaningful relationships with both the children and their families, and it is clear that caring for children is much more than just a job to her—it is her passion.
Claire takes care of my little girl and has done since she was 9 months. She is two in November. Zara has settled in so well with Claire. She loves going out to the park and on walks with Claire and the other children she looks after. Claire sends photos and keeps me in the loop which makes me feel at ease throughout the day. Zara always comes out with a smile on her face and a clean nappy. Would recommend claire to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable childminder.
My little boy was here for 15 months and has since day one always loved going there. Hanane is a very caring childminder and her family and are just as lovely and has taken such good care of my boy. They go to the park everyday, he loves her home cooked meals and they do fun activities every day that she updates us on! Hanane is not only a great childminder but also a very loving person that we have become very fond of and she has been so vital in his development in his early years and has been like a second family to us. I always know that he is so well looked when he is there. We are eternally grateful that we have had such an amazing childminder in our lives and I can not recommend her enough!
Amy has been a wonderful part of our family life in Cambridge. She is a highly skilled and experienced nanny and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. She has been an integral part of our sons’ development.
Amy is deeply embedded in Cambridge and knows lots of parents and playgroup organizers who all think the world of her (they’ve told us so, unprompted, many times). Amy has helped our son make friends and build relationships. She’s arranged social plans for our son with other families, and during term breaks (when playgroups are on break) has arranged outings with friends to the zoo and museums to keep things fun.
Amy is patient and kind. She is calm, even keeled, and deeply in tune with our son. She has helped him grow as a little person and created such a loving, stable environment for him.
