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.
Finding a childminder is the most daunting experience for new parents (especially first time parents) but from the second we met Jade we knew we found someone special. Our daughter was nine months old when she first went to Jade's and she's just finished her last week there before she goes to school!
Jade makes it seem like a breeze looking after your child, whilst keeping you updated with photos throughout the day which keeps you at ease!
Each week is a new fun theme and she always puts 100% into everything she does and makes your child feel like the most special kid in the world. She really made my daughter feel like family and now she is leaving with what I hope to be friends for life with the strong bonds that are made with the other children in the setting.
All meals are healthy and she always takes the time to give great updates again throughout the day or ok pick up, so you actually know what your child has been up to all day!
Jade loves spending time outdoors no matter the weather which my daughter absolutely loves and she is a great believer that a mucky kid is a happy kid and we agree 100%
To be honest I could go on forever about how much she's been there but there really isn't enough words, and there has been many a tear shed that my daughters time has come and gone but that goes to show how much of an impact she has/ will have on your child. Absolutely one of a kind. Thank you!
From the moment we booked Kellie several months before the wedding, we knew we had made the right decision. She gave us complete reassurance from start to finish, always making us feel confident that our children would be in the very best hands.
As a groomsman and bridesmaid, we knew we wouldn’t have been able to fully take part in the day without someone we completely trusted to care for our children. Hiring Kellie turned out to be one of the best decisions we made.
The children took to her immediately. She has such a warm, calm and caring nature that they felt comfortable with her from the moment they met. Throughout the day she kept us updated with messages and photos, so we always knew how they were getting on. We never once felt the need to check in because Kellie was always one step ahead, keeping us informed and reassuring us that they were happy, safe and having the best time. At the end of the day, she even sent us a lovely summary of everything they’d done together, which was such a thoughtful touch.
We honestly felt so boujee having our own wedding nanny, and it quickly became one of the best decisions we made. Rather than feeling like a luxury, it turned out to be an absolute necessity. It meant we could completely relax, enjoy the celebrations and focus on our roles, knowing our children were being cared for by someone who genuinely treated them like her own.
Kellie didn’t just look after our children, she genuinely made our whole day better. She became our unofficial photographer, capturing beautiful moments of our family that we otherwise would never have had. We also have lovely photos of the children enjoying the day while we were busy with our bridal party duties, and those memories are absolutely priceless.
She went above and beyond in so many ways. Before she left, she even tidied our room, which perfectly sums up the kind of person she is, thoughtful, caring and always looking for ways to help. She knew exactly when to blend into the background and when to step in and support us. She was incredibly professional while also feeling like part of the family.
The venue wasn’t particularly baby or toddler friendly, but we never had to worry. Kellie made sure the children were safe, entertained and happy throughout the day, which meant we could fully enjoy the celebrations without any stress or guilt.
So many guests commented on how amazing she was and how lucky we were to have found her. We couldn’t agree more. She exceeded every expectation and played such a huge part in making the day so special for all of us.
If you’re thinking about booking Kellie, don’t even hesitate. She is worth every penny. We honestly can’t recommend her highly enough and will always be so grateful for the care, kindness and reassurance she gave our family.
Sophie looked after our three-year-old son at our home on two occasions while we went for our baby scan appointments, as children aren't allowed in the scanner room. She stayed for around three hours each time and everything went really smoothly. Our son was very well looked after and happy, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were out. We'd happily book Sophie again and recommend her to other parents.

My daughter has been so happy at Miri's nursery. Every day she runs in and even asks to go at the weekends! When she was off for a whole week due to illness, she cried to go back. Miri is so loving, caring and nurturing. You can tell how much she cares for each child. Her staff are all as lovely as she is, and together they have built a home away from home environment where all the kids thrive. Miri packs the days with fun activities and stimulating games and sends loads of photos and videos to the parents. She provides nutritious and delicious food; all nappies, wipes and cream, so you don't have to think of anything. I honestly wish my daughter could stay on at Miri's this September, but she is too old now. If some other children her age were staying, I definitely would've kept her there and am so sad to be saying good bye.
Our 18-month-old son has been with her for the past two months, and we couldn't be happier with the care he has received. From the very beginning, she made him feel safe, happy, and welcomed. Every morning he was excited to go to her, which gave us great confidence that he was in the best hands.
She spent lots of time exploring nature with him, taking him outdoors almost every day. These adventures encouraged his curiosity and gave him wonderful opportunities to learn about the world around him.
We especially appreciated how much she talked with him throughout the day, always encouraging him to communicate and helping him develop his speech and confidence. It was lovely to see how patient, caring, and engaging she was, making every interaction a learning opportunity.
She has created such a warm, loving, and stimulating environment, and we are so grateful for the positive impact she has had on our son's early development in such a short time. We would highly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, dedicated, and professional childminder.

There is no greater nursery than Miri’s. My youngest of 3 was the first to attend her nursery and we have been blown away by every aspect of the nursery. Miri is the kindest, warmest most incredible human who loves the children like her own. All of her staff are equally wonderful and caring. The nursery is calm, the children are calm and happy, my daughter has grown and developed so beautifully. They do the most creative sensory play every day, the home cooked meals are delicious, healthy and beautifully presented. We receive daily photographs of our children and Updates on their day. All the children love each other and I genuinely believe it’s because they are together in such a warm and loving environment. If you want a nursery that feels like home, is nurturing, genuinely cares about your child, gives them a fun outdoor (and indoor) childhood, send your child to Miri.
I have more positive things to say but I’ll stop :)
Stacey has only been working with my daughter for a few weeks but already there is a huge change in her attitude and confidence with reading. Stacey gives her homework which she is able to do and my daughter is trying to read more and is enjoying being able to read things. We are already seeing an improvement in her ability.
Monika is not only an amazing childminder but also a wonderful friend. As a first time mum, I was incredibly nervous about leaving my baby with someone I didn'tknow. However, after our very first meeting, I knew she was a kind, caring, and trustworthy person.My baby has been with Monika for nearly a year now, and I honestly couldn't be happier. She has helped my little girl develop so much in such a short time and has created a safe, loving environment where she feels completely comfortable. My daughter gets so excited whenever she hears Monika's name, which says everything about the bond they've built.As a first time mum, I was also overwhelmed by how childcare worked, but Monika was always there to guide me. She gave me so much helpful advice, explained everything clearly, and made the whole experience much less stressful.
Every day, Monika kept me updated on what my daughter had been doing and eating, which gave me real peace of mind. She regularly takes the children onoutings where they can have fun, learn, and socialise. This has made such a difference for my daughter, who was initially shy and struggled to feel comfortable around other children. Thanks to Monika's patience and encouragement, she now loves being around other kids and has grown so much in confidence.I truly couldn't ask for a better childminder and wouldn't change Monika for the world. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares for children as if they were her own.
Nasima’s Childcare is truly amazing. Nasima and her assistants, Shumi and Mithu, have been absolutely fantastic. Both my son and daughter attended Nasima’s Childcare for two years, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
At first, I was very worried about returning to work, but Nasima and her team made the transition so much easier. They kept me updated throughout the day with regular photos and messages, giving me complete peace of mind. Every time I collected my children, I knew they had been cared for with love and attention.
Thank you all so much for everything you have done for my children over the past two years. I can’t thank you enough and would wholeheartedly recommend Nasima’s Childcare to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for their child.
The activities they provide are fantastic and encourage both fine and gross motor skills, as well as early maths and literacy development. They have an amazing range of resources both indoors and outdoors. They also supported my children through important milestones, including coming off bottle feeds, toilet training, and establishing healthy sleep routines.
We will always be grateful for the love, care, and dedication you have shown our family. Thank you again for everything!
We’ve been with our childminder since my daughter Maia was 5 and my son Ru was 3, and they’re now 10 and 7. I honestly couldn’t imagine them going anywhere else.
They absolutely love going every single time. They always come home full of stories about what they’ve been up to, whether it’s trips to the soft play, skate park or local parks, playing games, learning new things, or spending time with Dawid, who has become one of their best friends over the years. They still rave about her homemade Polish chicken soup too!
What I really appreciate is how professional she is. Everything is always clear and organised. She keeps contracts up to date and always gives me a paper copy covering things like child illness, what happens if she’s unwell, fees, holiday arrangements and everything else you need to know. I think everything is explained fairly and reasonably, so there are never any surprises.
She’s also really clear about school runs. She lets parents know exactly what time she needs to leave in the mornings so everyone can make sure children are dropped off on time. That’s completely reasonable to me because one family being late shouldn’t make other children late for school.
The biggest compliment I can give is that I trust her completely. Leaving your children with someone is one of the hardest things to do, but I’ve never had to worry. She’s cared for my children as they’ve grown up over the last five years, and they’ve been so happy and well looked after the entire time.
I genuinely wouldn’t trust anyone else with my kids. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, professional and truly cares about the children she looks after, I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you for everything you’ve done for our family over the years. ❤️
There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Jade and everything she has done for our family. From the very first day my son walked through her door, we knew we’d found someone incredibly special. Leaving your child with someone else is one of the hardest things a parent can do, but Jade made that transition feel effortless with her warmth, kindness and genuine love for the children she cares for.
My son absolutely adores his time with Jade, and it’s been such a privilege to watch him grow into the confident, happy and caring little boy he is today. Every day is filled with fun, laughter, learning and exciting adventures. The thought and care Jade puts into every activity is incredible, and it’s so clear that she pours her heart into everything she does.
What makes Jade stand out is the little things. The attention to detail, the nurturing environment she creates, the updates that make us smile throughout the day, and the way she always goes the extra mile—not because she has to, but because she genuinely cares. My son isn’t just looked after; he’s loved, encouraged and celebrated for exactly who he is.
Jade has become so much more than my son’s childminder. She has been a huge part of his early years and has given him memories, experiences and opportunities that we will always be thankful for. Knowing he is safe, happy and so well cared for gives us complete peace of mind every single day.
There is a reason Jade has a waiting list, and after experiencing the exceptional care she provides, it’s impossible to be surprised. She doesn’t simply offer childcare; she creates a home from home where children feel safe, valued and loved, and where parents know their little ones are in the very best hands.
Jade, thank you for loving my son as though he were one of your own, for helping him grow, for making him smile every single day, and for giving us the greatest gift a parent could ask for—the confidence that our little boy is happy, safe and truly cherished when he’s with you.
We will always be grateful for everything you’ve done for our family. We couldn’t recommend Jade more highly.
If I could not send my son to school and keep him with Jade forever, this would be my choice 10000%
We honestly couldn't have wished for a better childminder for our little girl.
Jenny has looked after Matilda since she was just 6 months old, and now, after around three and a half wonderful years, she's ready to start school. Looking back, we feel so grateful for everything Jenny, Andy and their family have done for her.
From day one, Matilda has absolutely loved going every single day. She adores Jenny, Andy and their children, and it has truly been a home away from home. Knowing she was somewhere she felt so safe, loved and happy gave us complete peace of mind.
The care and experiences they provide are second to none. From delicious home-cooked, healthy meals to exciting days out at the forest, playgrounds, Lego land , sealife and so many other adventures, every day has been filled with fun, learning and new experiences.
Jenny and Andy are incredibly approachable, caring and professional. In all the years Matilda has been with them, we've never had a single issue. Their communication has always been excellent, and we've always felt like part of their extended family.
They've played such a huge part in Matilda's early years and have helped shape the amazing little girl she is today - confident, clever, kind and so happy. She is more than ready for her next adventure at school, and we know that's thanks in no small part to the love, care and encouragement she's received from Jenny and her family.
We can never thank you all enough for everything you've done, but a very special thank you to Jenny. You've been such an important part of Matilda's journey, and we'll always be so grateful. We would recommend you to anyone looking for a caring, loving and dedicated childminder.
I cant thank Nish enough for how well she looked after my daughter. Arabella started with Nish at 9 months old, and as she was my first child, it was really scary to leave her with someone i didn't know. However from the minute i walked in to Nish’s i felt so comfortable, i instantly knew this was the place for Arabella, and she continued to go there right up until she started school. Arabella loved every minute of going there, never any tears when i dropped her off, she would literally skip in and sometime not even staying good bye to me 😂. I am forever grateful that i found Nish, i would highly recommend her to anyone.

Where to begin. My son has been on quite a journey, from starting with Immy at the age of 6 months old to sadly leaving her behind to start his journey in reception at a Specialist school.
Immy has been there every step of the way, from those first referalls all the way through to helping with EHCP applications, working alongside speech and occupational therapists, taking on extra qualifications to better her knowledge of SEND needs...the list is endless and this woman is like gold dust!
Anyone thinking of Immy for childcare has come to the right place. Whether your child has SEN or not, they will be looked after and nutured to the highest standard. Her home from home is the perfect setting, with meticulous planning to be fully inclusive of all children. The many activities she plans are amazing, with regular visits from Spanish teachers, Reading Fairy and Boogiemites..the list goes on!
Her home cooked food is another thing to praise, I am often left jealous by what my son has been offered!
Not only will your child be in the best place, but as a parent or carer you will also be seen. Nothing is too much trouble for Immy and she always strives to help in any way that she can, answering any questions or signposting to other places. As a SEN parent, I am not sure what I would have done without her over these years and she will be sadly missed by my family.
Emma is an absolutely fantastic childminder—caring, diligent, and truly dedicated to the children in her care. She has been wonderful in supporting our son with his development milestones, which meant the world to us during his early years.
We loved receiving her daily diary updates and photo logs, as it gave us such a lovely window into his day and how happy he was. Communication has always been brilliant; Emma is always available for a chat and has gone above and beyond to accommodate any requests we’ve had. She also plans the most wonderful, seasonally themed activities throughout the year to keep the children engaged and learning.
We couldn't recommend Emma highly enough to anyone looking for an exceptional childminder!
Sam has cared for both of my children from toddlers all the way through to school. With my eldest son he had previously attended a day nursery and I could really appreciate the difference in him being in a home from home environment. She was an attentive, caring and nurturing extended part of our family who both my children loved going to. There were always plenty of outings and structured activities and great communication which I really appreciated. On leaving my daughter was given a book with all her adventures in, she is now 7 and still pulls it out regularly to reminisce of her fun times at Sam’s!! . I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anybody.
