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 hired Kailey to babysit our 1 year old daughter. Kailey was the first babysitter we had ever used, as we had only ever left our daughter with family before.
Our little one took to Kailey immediately and was really happy and settled in her company.
Kailey was kind, professional and really easy to work with.
We do not hesitate in recommending her.
Kathryn and I had several exchanges over childcare.co.uk and we met to discuss childcare for my son. By the end of the discussion we agreed to go ahead, a start date and settling in arrangements. Kathryn advised she would send the contacts on the same day. I had 2 other options which I contacted and thanked for their time however I had found an alternative arrangement. Later that day Kathryn emailed me and I opened this ready to sign contract, however instead was a message saying one of her current children had decided to increase their hours and thus she had no more space. I was obviously shocked but mostly disappointed that I now had been left with zero options. I understand I should have waited for the contract but we live in a small village and I naively believe that most people were honest and would not have made a verbal commitment if there was any chance they could not fulfil it. In her email Kathryn advised she would keep me at the top of her list should an opening come up, however when I went back to childcare.co.uk to look at other options she had blocked me and deleted our conversation history. Please exercise caution with Kathryn and if you decide to go ahead wait until the contracts have been signed.
We’ve been working with Codie for the last few months and she is phenomenal! She takes such good care of our 14 month old daughter. She’s researched various activities she can do with her in our area. When at home, she keeps her engaged and happy all times! Our little one loves Codie and it gives us the peace of mind we need when leaving her with Codie.

The Seahawk team, led by Bobbee, has supported my daughter since she was 2 years old, and the care, consistency, and understanding they have shown her over the years has been amazing. Now at 4, she has grown into a confident and independent child, and that is largely thanks to the way Seahawk gently encourages independence in an age-appropriate and supportive way. The staff truly know each child as an individual and have always met her needs with patience, kindness, and professionalism. I am so grateful for the strong foundation Seahawk has given her and would highly recommend the nursery to any parent. They foster strong connections with the local communities, encouraging the children to be involved in Environmental and Community charity events. Additionally, having many staff members and children belonging to Military families they have an unique understanding of the challenges the children face, having measures in place to give that additional support.
Seema has been working with my daughter for over a year now and she has achieved the impossible - she has made maths fun! My daughter looks forward to her lessons and because of this, her confidence with maths has grown immensely.
We call Seema her secret weapon - whenever she has a tricky sum which she can’t quite grasp, Seema is able to break it down for her and simplify in a way which just clicks.
We couldn’t fault her and couldn’t be without her!
I came across Janette’s setting in 2018 when I first moved to Swanley and was looking for childcare for my one-year-old. I visited her setting and was immediately impressed by the interactions between the children and Janette’s own engagement with them. Unfortunately, she was full for the days I needed, but I continued to follow her pages as I was hoping to have a second child.
In 2022, when I had my son, it was a no-brainer, Janette or no one else. Luckily, she had a space and we went full-time. My son was just one when he started and stayed until he turned four (now off to pre-prep school). His growth and development were excellent. Janette kept us updated daily on his progress, her attention to detail is outstanding, and she is surrounded by a fantastic team; thank you, Sarah and Susan.
My son started calling them Janjan, Susu and Rara. He was always happy to go and knew everyone by name. I strongly recommend Janette’s setting, do book early! She has consistently maintained a very high standard of excellence.

We are very pleased to be working with Kim. My son has learned several new things in a short time with her, which has been lovely to see.
Kim is very proactive, makes great suggestions, and is always easy and pleasant to communicate with. The playroom is clean, welcoming, and well organised, and Kim provides thoughtful and engaging activities for the children.
I would happily recommend Kim to anyone looking for a childminder in the Grange Park area.
Codie has been baby sitting my almost 2 year old for a while now, when I first met her I knew she was perfect for my daughter. My daughter has never been left before with any one else si this was a massive step for her and I. Codie is not only professional but kind and amazing with my daughter and son. I couldn't think of any one better to trust with my children and I do not take such a job lightly. I would one hundred percent recommend codie to any one and I am looking forward to watching her and my daughters bond grow even more. I know when I leave my daughter with codie she is in exceptional care. Codie is a great baby sitter, excellent at communication, punctual and great with My children. 100% 5 🌟
The effort Jen puts in to everything is amazing. From the setting itself to the outings and activities it’s all so thought out with fun and development at the heart of everything. My child is excited to go everyday and I never have to worry about him whilst he’s there. So grateful to have found such a nurturing environment, which massively reduces the working mam guilt!
Natalie is an absolutely outstanding babysitter and nanny. She has cared for all four of my children, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of professionalism, care, and dedication she brings to her work. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s well-being.
Natalie provides a very educational environment and always ensures nutritious meals are prepared for the kids. Every time my children return from being with her, they are calm, happy, and well cared for—which speaks volumes about the positive atmosphere she creates.
If you are looking for someone you can truly trust with your children, I highly recommend Natalie. She is 100% recommended, and you would be lucky to have her as your babysitter or nanny.
Ruth has been an amazing childminder for our child since he was 18 months old. She provides a safe, caring, and stimulating environment, and our child has grown in confidence and happiness under her care. Ruth is kind, patient, and reliable, and her communication is excellent. We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any parent.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. She is amazing and truly like a second mother to my son. From day one, she has shown so much love, patience, and care, and it’s clear how genuinely invested she is in his happiness and development. My son feels safe, loved, and completely at home with her, which gives me total peace of mind. She goes above and beyond every single day, and we are so grateful to have had her in our lives. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Not only was she my sons childminder but we also got close to each other and would have a nice long chat whenever I used to pick my son up :)
We couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter receives. Kate and Flávio are incredibly kind, caring, and attentive, always providing excellent one-to-one attention and creating a safe, nurturing environment where children truly thrive. Our daughter is so happy there that she often does not want to come home.
Kate and Flávio provide a huge variety of fun and educational activities that support learning and development while keeping the children engaged and excited every day. The freshly home-cooked meals are a real highlight — healthy, nutritious, and clearly prepared with care.
Kate and Flávio are also extremely flexible and supportive, especially when unexpected situations arise, which gives us great peace of mind.
We feel very lucky to have found such dedicated and trustworthy childminders and would highly recommend Kate and Flávio to any family looking for outstanding childcare.
Carly looked after my 7-month-old baby every evening this week. My baby has become really attached to her!
Carly was really flexible with my crazy routine this week and it was a massive help to me. She was capable with my baby and I didn’t have a worry at all.
I’d absolutely use her again, my baby was sad to see her go.
Thank you
My little boy has been going to Bug and Bean with Mary and Steph for 2 years. We honestly feel so lucky to have found these two! They’ve created such a warm, fun, and caring environment, and our child absolutely loves his days with them. It’s so clear how much they genuinely care about the children and how much effort they put into everything they do. Our child always comes home happy and full of stories. He’s built lovely friendships with the other children but also LOVES Mary and Steph. Knowing our child is safe, loved, and well looked after gives us total peace of mind which is so important to us. We couldn’t recommend them enough and are so grateful for everything they do.

Cara has been an amazing babysitter for our two children, aged 4 and 5, for over two years. She is extremely trustworthy, reliable, and professional, and we have always felt completely at ease leaving our children in her care.
Cara is fantastic with the children and brings a fun, calm, and caring energy into our home. She always plans lots of activities such as crafts, games, reading, and imaginative play, which keeps the children engaged and happy. They genuinely enjoy spending time with her and feel very comfortable around her.
She is also very clean and tidy and always leaves the house just as she found it. Cara communicates well, follows routines, and uses her own initiative when needed.
I would highly recommend Cara to any family looking for a dependable, kind, and reliable babysitter.
We have been incredibly fortunate to have Louise as our childminder for over two years, and I honestly don’t think words are enough to express how grateful we are to her. After trying three different childminders where our daughter struggled to settle, finding Louise felt like a true blessing. From the very first meeting, we knew she was special, and she proved that to us every single day.
Louise has shown our daughter nothing but genuine love, care, and affection, and the bond they share is truly beautiful. My daughter absolutely adores her, and as parents, there is no greater comfort than knowing your child is happy, safe, and deeply cared for. Louise goes above and beyond—she takes the children out to explore, learn, and experience the world around them. She is not just their childminder; she is their teacher, their friend, and their constant companion.
I can never repay Louise for everything she has given to our family. Her kindness, patience, and warmth have meant more to us than she will ever know. Louise, thank you for everything you have done for our daughter and for us. We wish you all the happiness in the world—because that is exactly what you have given to our family. 💖
I was so confident I wouldn’t have anyone else look after my baby other than Chris and Kelly that I booked in with them whilst pregnant, there setting is a comforting and warm environment a real home away from home. They are the loveliest, welcoming characters and I couldn’t ask for better when it comes to their care. Highly recommend.
Tammy looked after both my children from when they were babies till when they started school. The older one stayed with Tammy before and after school till the little one started reception. Tammy loved my girls fiercely, she fed them, entertained them and gave them amazing opportunities to learn through play. The crafts that came out of the house were fantastic and always a super surprise on Mother's day or Christmas. My little ones still insist on taking Tammy cakes every time we bake and stopping at her house first on Halloween. I could not have asked for a more reliable and caring person to look after my children. She was never late for pickups or dropoffs, hardly every sick, and amazingly flexible when work schedules got the best of my husband and I. I would recommend her to care for babies and young children if you want a homely environment with lots of toys and arts and crafts. Tammy also managed with my little ones food allergies and supported me in taking them to some clubs and classes like baby ballet.
