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.
Happy has been caring for my son for several months now, and I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. From the first day, she built a beautiful bond with him through her kindness, patience, and naturally caring nature.
She is incredibly attentive, trustworthy, and experienced, always making sure my son is safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether at home, outdoors, or during nursery pick-ups and drop-offs, she handles everything calmly and professionally. Her years of childcare experience truly show in the way she understands children and responds to their needs with such warmth and confidence.
What I appreciate most about Happy is the genuine love and positive energy she brings every day. She is cheerful, respectful, reliable, and always goes above and beyond to help. My son absolutely loves spending time with her, and as a parent there is no better feeling than knowing your child is in such safe and loving hands.
Happy has become someone our family trusts completely, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a dedicated, compassionate, and outstanding nanny

We started our son full time with Michaela when he was just 10 months old, following a recommendation from close friends - and it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made.
From the very first settling-in sessions, Michaela made the transition feel genuinely effortless. She has a natural warmth and calm that put both our son and us at ease, and I was able to return to work with real confidence knowing he was happy and in safe hands.
The impact on his development has been remarkable. His vocabulary grows week on week, and he regularly surprises us with new words and phrases. Michaela keeps him engaged with a lovely range of activities -trips to the library, local parks and playgroups as well as art’s & crafts - and we treasure the photos and videos she sends throughout the week. It gives such wonderful peace of mind to see him thriving.
Most of all, our son absolutely adores her. Michaela has become so much more than a childminder to our family -she feels like a true extension of our parenting bubble, someone we trust completely with the person we love most. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Leaving your 9-month-old with someone else for the first time is honestly so hard but from day one Adrienne and Paul made the whole transition so much easier for us.
I was incredibly nervous about returning to work and leaving my little boy so young, but Adrienne instantly put me at ease. In the beginning there were a few tears at drop-off (from both of us) but that phase only lasted a couple of weeks. Now he happily waves us goodbye from Adrienne’s arms.
The updates we receive every single day are amazing. We get pictures, videos, updates on what he’s eaten, how much he’s eaten, and how much he’s slept and at what times.
I genuinely couldn’t recommend Tiny Treasures enough. Going from spending every day together during maternity leave to returning to work was such a huge change for me, but knowing my son is with people who care for him so well has made all the difference.
He’s made his first little friends there, and it’s been amazing watching his confidence and development grow so much.
We truly feel so lucky to have found Adrienne and Paul.
We would like to thank you so much.
Gill has been my daughter’s childminder for the last two years. After reaching out and then speaking to gill on the phone, to meeting her, I knew my daughter would be in safe capable hands. It just felt right!
My two-year-old is generally excited to see her 3 days a week, we even kept gill on after moving 30 minutiae away as we were so happy with the care she gives.
Gill gives childminders a good name, we are truly lucky to have her.
She will be truly missed when my daughter moves on.
Her set up is fantastic!
After speaking to a lot of my friends and listening to their childcare experiences with others, I truly believe I hit the jackpot with Gill!

A friend of mine shared Rita’s profile on social media at a time where we were just starting to consider the thought of childcare. After meeting I instantly trusted her and knew my son would be supported and looked after in the way that worked for us. He settled almost instantly, wanders in now without even a look back and brings home little phrases and things he’s learned from Rita’s. His language has improved massively and overall he just loves it there. Thank you Rita and Chloe for all that you do.
I have been sending my eldest child to Claires Childminding for nearly 3 years. My eldest has thrived and learned so much from Claire and Ellen. She is about to go to school in September and she will truely miss attending. My youngest has been going for 3 months, and she loves attending, she is even learning to say, well shout Claires name! Prior to childcare she would not settle with anyone but her parents, now she is a confident little baby! She provides a fruit and veg snack, which she does not have too, but we are truely greatful as our chidlren do not stop eating!
Meeting Tanya is as if I hit the jackpot 😊 She took great care of my older son for 6 years and now continuing to look after my second boy since he was 8 months old (now almost 5yo).Caring ,calm, lovely,punctual and flexible,the best person in my life❣️My children love her,I love her very much too.Always there when I need her ,can't thank her enough ♥️ She helped and still helping me to raise lovely, happy and well behaved children.Thank you Tanya 😊🌹♥️

My daughter moved to Rita’s after previous setting closed and she settled in straight away. Growing smiles has a great purpose built setting with a wonderful outdoor provision. Both Rita and Chloe are welcoming and caring and my child is happy to go each day.
Isbah looked after our son from the age of nine moths old. She is an extremely caring and loving childminder. The welfare of the children she cares for is her absolute priority. She arranges wonderful activities for the children including play groups and days out, which our son absolutely loved. Our son was so happy in Isbah's care and it was a joy to see lovely photos and videos of his happy times with Isbah. We are extremely grateful to Isbah for all she has done to look after our son and bring him along so well.
We’ve been so happy with the care our child has received. Rachel is kind, reliable, and create such a safe and welcoming environment for our son. Our child has grown in confidence and always looks forward to spending time at Rachels house. I cant think of a better childminder for my first son and my new baby boy who would be joining soon.
Sara is just absolutely great with kids. She can achieve things with my daughter that nobody can (completely potty trained her in 3 days) . Loads of outdoor (garden) activities, kids love.
I can only highly recommend Sara, the kids are always having a great time with her.
Thank you for all your effort Sara. 😍

Charlotte is a fantastic childminder with a caring, calm and encouraging manner. She has looked after our daughter Freya for almost two years. Freya has thrived in Charlotte’s care, she enjoys her days and comes home excited to tell us about it.
Charlotte is extremely conscientious and organised which is reflected in all aspects of her business. Each day is well-planned with time for play, activities, rest and often outings to a play-group or park. She prepares home-cooked meals with lots of variety, which has really helped my daughter to try new things. Charlotte’s communication is great, she provides regular updates through the day and thinks ahead to challenges that might arise. As a first-time mum I’ve really appreciated her support with tackling things like sleep changes, picky eating and potty training, she always has ideas to try and is keen to be consistent with our routine at home.
Charlotte has created a very nurturing and positive environment. She has built a lovely bond with Freya and I really believe that this has helped Freya become such a happy and confident child. We feel very grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to others.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our son has received at Little Wellies Childcare. Sharon and Tom have looked after him for over a year, and they have been absolutely amazing from day one.
They are such kind, caring, and welcoming people who genuinely treat the children like part of their family. Every week they thoughtfully plan fun and educational activities, so the children are always learning while having a wonderful time. We love receiving daily and weekly photo updates, which give us insight into everything our son has been doing.
The food they provide is always delicious, and it’s clear how much effort and care goes into every aspect of the childcare they offer.
Most importantly, our son absolutely loves going there. He is always happy, excited, and comfortable in their care, which means everything to us as parents.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Sharon and Tom, and we truly cannot recommend Little Wellies Childcare highly enough to anyone looking for a warm, safe, loving, and engaging environment for their child.

Sue looked after 4 children for us during a wedding. They are 1, 2, 3 and 4 so no mean feat, but she was utterly in control the whole time.
They had a fantastic time, even asking before bed if Sue was coming back tomorrow!
I would not hesitate to recommend her to others.
We’ve had a fantastic experience with our childminder and feel very lucky to have found her. From the start she has been caring, reliable, and extremely supportive.
Our son found the transition difficult after our move to Spalding and changing childminders, but she was incredibly patient and understanding. She supported him at his own pace until he felt settled and secure, which made a huge difference to him and to us as parents.
He has come on so much since being with her, especially in his confidence and independence. She provides a lovely mix of activities and clearly puts a lot of thought into making sure the children are happy, engaged, and learning.
Communication is always excellent, and we are kept well informed about his day. Most importantly, we always feel confident that he is safe, happy, and well cared for.
We would highly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, professional, and genuinely caring childminder.

My child has attended for only 3 months. During term time as well and started when they were 7 months old.
Dee welcomed my child into her home. My child settled in so quickly and rarely cries at drop off. My child smiles every time we attend, and squeals when we go through the gates.
This speaks volumes about how excellent of a setting this is. The observations you receive from tapestry are in depth and accurate for your child's development.
In such a short time I can clearly see as a mum how much Dee cares and would love both my children to attend until they go to school.
Absolutely wonderful setting.
As a first-time mum, I was so nervous about putting my son into childcare, but from our very first meeting with Nikki, she instantly put us at ease. She was so warm, welcoming, and genuine, and our son warmed to her straight away. She made us feel truly heard and honestly felt like someone we had known for years.
Nikki’s years of experience in childcare really shine through, alongside the fact that she is such an amazing mum herself. She has built such a wonderful setting with an experienced and caring team of assistants, all of whom are fantastic with the children.
My son settled in so well and absolutely thrived in Nikki’s care. It genuinely felt like we were leaving him with family every day. Nikki is incredibly patient, kind, and caring, and there was never a day where she didn’t greet us with a smile. It was so clear to see how much all the children adored her.
Our little one built such lovely bonds not only with the other children in her care. Even now, over two months since we left, he still talks about Nikki and his friends from her setting.
We were genuinely so sad to leave Nikki’s setting when we moved abroad, and she has honestly set such a high benchmark for us when it comes to childcare.
Thank you so much, Nikki, for everything. We will always be so grateful for the love and care you gave our little boy.
My son was cared for by Donna for 4 years. He loved his days with her and the adventures they had on day trips.
Donna is a lovely kind and caring person, who will treat your child like her own.
Donna became an extension of the family whilst my son was with her, we never had to worry dropping him off as he was so excited to go.
Donna arranges fantastic activities and helped my son grow so much in confidence whilst he was with her.
If you are considering getting in contact with Donna I would say do not hesitate, it will be the best thing you could ever do!
