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.
My daughter absolutely adores Trina and vice versa. In fact, she said Trina's name before she even said "Mummy" — which says everything about the special bond they have built together!
My daughter excitedly chants Trina's name all the way there in the car, and seeing how happy she is to arrive gives me complete peace of mind. I trust Trina implicitly with my daughter, which is one of the greatest gifts a parent can have.
She is incredibly warm, caring, and nurturing, and has created a genuine home-from-home environment where the children feel safe, loved, and valued. Her house is like a treasure chest of toys, games, and activities, both indoors and outside and the children have endless opportunities to learn, explore, and have fun, as well as going out.
It's clear that Trina puts her heart into what she does, and the children absolutely thrive in her care. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and couldn't recommend her more highly.
She is always incredibly accommodating and understanding when family life throws the unexpected our way. Her flexibility and willingness to help wherever possible have made such a difference to us and taken so much stress out of juggling work and childcare.
Thanks so much Trina!

My little girl has been with Emma for six weeks now, and he loves the setting just as much as her brother did 5 years ago. I was very nervous about leaving my son at such a young age, but I needn't have worried. Emma treated him as if he were her own, providing a loving, safe, and nurturing environment. We have always been extremely happy with the care our children receive. Emma provides a safe, stimulating, and welcoming setting where children feel comfortable and happy.
We would highly recommend Emma to any family looking for high-quality childcare. She has been a wonderful support to our family, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she does.
My daughter Evie has been with Clare since 3 years old, she is 9 now, and has the most wonderful experience. As soon as we met and welcomed into their home i just felt at ease and so comfortable a real home from home feel which is what i wanted for my daughter. Home cooked meals, always doing activities, days out in the summer holidays to the park and she has made some life long friends with the other children. I would highly recommend Clare, friendly, approachable, caring and amazing with the kids. Thank you so much for all your support and love you have given x
Antoinette did an absolutely brilliant job babysitting my daughter whilst I attended a family funeral for an afternoon. She did really well connecting with my daughter and brought some activities of her own along to entertain her even though we had provided toys. Antoinette also managed to adapt to an additional toddler waking up from a nap (unplanned) during this period and looked after the both of them, also sorting snacks and a nappy change when they were needed.
I would highly recommend Antoinette, she was reliable, easy to communicate with and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again, she did an amazing job under some quite stressful circumstances and made me feel very relaxed about leaving my child in her care.
My daughter has even named one of her little dollies after Antoinette now!

Our daughter has been looked after by Kirsty since she was 16 months old (now 4) and she absolutely loves going. Kirsty is very empathic, compassionate, caring and fun. My daughter has been very fortunate to experience lots of different trips out, crafting and making new friends while
In Kirsty’s care. She has also helped us out many time when we have needed additional days or later cover (with notice). For what is a really anxiety provoking experience of leaving your child with someone else, Kirsty made this transition much easier on us all and we regularly receive photos and videos throughout the day of what they have been doing. Highly recommend Kirsty as a childminder.
We cannot recommend Patricia highly enough.
From the very beginning, Patricia has provided exceptional care for our children and has consistently gone above and beyond what we expected from a childcare setting. Her dedication, patience, kindness and genuine care for the children shines through in everything she does.
She provides a wonderful range of enriching activities and experiences, including trips to the library, soft play, parks, music activities, gardening, sand and water play, and many other creative learning opportunities. It is clear how much thought and effort she puts into helping our 2 kids learn, explore and develop through play.
We have also appreciated the detailed documentation and updates she provides, which allow us to see the children's progress and daily experiences. Her organisation, professionalism and communication are outstanding.
What sets Patricia apart most is the loving and nurturing environment she creates. Our children are always happy and excited to spend time with her, which gives us complete peace of mind as parents. They feel safe, valued, understood and genuinely cared for.
Patricia has made a hugely positive impact on our family, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for exceptional childcare.

Aleena is very kind, thoughtful, and very reliable. Our daughter loves spending time with her. Very experienced with her own and other children, Aleena can handle most scenarios and always picks up our daughter on time and brings her to fun activities and looks after her well at home too. Highly recommend.
Gusia is extremely reliable, kind and professional. Excellently trained and with great intuitions, our young daughter has a blast with her. Her home is so full of entertainment and education it is hard to get her back! Also spends time at our home and navigates this very well too. Highly recommend.
Tara and her team are absolutely fantastic. She currently looks after our 2 year old and 5 year old children and we could not be happier. Our 5 year old is autistic and she is able to cater very well for his needs. She is reliable, professional and punctual. We have no issues with lateness. She is also very flexible for our work patterns which is a great help to us. She plans activities for the children to keep them stimulated. Our children are very happy to go to the setting every day. Her food is tasty and the children like it. Overall she is a very kind and caring childminder, as are her staff, and we could not recommend her highly enough.
I never give people or places 5 stars. However, with Kerrie I have to. She was just wonderful. She came along to help with my 3 grandchildren under 5 and was the most amazing support. She was always on time with a smile on her face and a completely lovely attitude to the children. They were jetlagged and not used to our home but Kerrie reassured and entertained them with calm and confidence. She always came with activities and books to read. Her manner was gentle but kindly firm. I cannot sing her praises enough.
I sent my daughter when she had just turned 1 years old. Amanda made sure my daughter settled in comfortably and met all her needs. 3 years later my daughter is thriving and is so confident. Amanda goes above and beyond and offers lots of support. Amanda is highly recommended.
My daughter has been with Kathryn for almost 2 years now. We visited dozens of Nursery's and nothing felt right until we visited Kathryn's home. From day 1 my daughter has felt comfortable with Kathryn and has learnt so much. She has had so many opportunities to learn new things and visit different places. It is hard to trust someone else with your child, but I always know my daughter is being well cared for and I have loved seeing the bond they have built. We will miss Kathryn when our daughter starts school nursery but will treasure all the lovely memories they have made together ❤️ we couldn't have chosen or imagined a better child minder!
When we first met Reena, when my son was about 8 months, I just knew she was the right fit. She is warm and welcoming and my son and Reena have a special bond, which is just so lovely.
Reena provides amazing care, takes the children on days out, including soft play and to the park, and sends us sweet little pictures.
My son is now 17 months old and he absolutely adores going to see Reena. When we came back from our holiday, my son greeted Reena with a huge koala bear cuddle, and he is always thrilled to see her.
I highly recommend Reena
Kate, her husband Flavio and family have been excellent. Kate was recommended to my wife by a colleague, we visited and felt reassured they would provide a caring environment.
Our 1yr old is completing her first year with them. She is an only child and her social skills have come on leaps and bounds. Our daughter has become much more confident with other children and her language is also developing. Kate and the family encourage lots of interaction between the children, from singing and dancing, sharing different toys, and experiencing their sensory zone, to playing in their outside courtyard mud kitchen, or trips to the park.
The food is excellent, with lots of balanced home cooked meals including some fermented elements as well.
Kate has good communication skills with regular messages and updates.
Our daughter loves going and has her arms out stretched and a smile on her face whenever Flavio opens the door in the morning. They even throw birthday parties and have seasonal gifts for the children which is lovely.
Would highly recommend.
Our baby is almost 10 months old and absolutely adores Hayley❤️ She helped him tremendously with his adjustment, and I can clearly see how much he has changed for the better over the past two months. He has become more sociable, communicates more easily with other people, and is generally happier, more active, and confident. We feel very lucky to have found her. We have had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend her✨

When our son first started with Sam, he was just a baby at 1 year old, and as he now gets ready to leave for nursery, we can honestly say that choosing her was one of the best decisions we have ever made. She has provided so much more than childcare – she has given him a second home.
From the very beginning, she welcomed him into her family and cared for him with genuine love, patience and kindness. Every day we left him with complete confidence, knowing he was safe, happy and being looked after by someone who truly cared about him. The bond they have built is something we will always treasure.
The positive influence she has had on his development has been incredible. She has helped shape him into the polite, respectful and confident little boy he is today. His manners are wonderful, he understands boundaries and respect, and he has learned so many valuable life skills during his time with her. We often smile when people comment on how well-behaved he is – and much of that is thanks to the guidance and consistency she has provided. In fact, he never opens cupboards or touches things that don't belong to him, which says so much about the respect and understanding she has helped instil in him.
What has always stood out most is the genuine love and care she shows every child. Our son has never been treated as just another child in her care; he has been treated like one of the family.
Even our son's grandparents have been hugely impressed by her. They have often commented on how wonderful she is and how lucky we are to have found someone so caring, professional and dedicated. Their approval means a great deal to us, and they have seen first-hand the positive impact she has had on our son.
As we prepare to say goodbye and watch him start nursery, we do so with mixed emotions. We are excited for his next adventure, but sad to be leaving someone who has played such an important role in his early years. We will always be thankful for the love, care, guidance and support she has given him.
We cannot recommend Sam highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have their child cared for by her. She has helped give our son the very best start in life, and for that we will always be grateful.
If we ever had another child they would be going to Sam's.
Thank you Sam,

Gaea has been looking after our now 1 and a half year old twins since they were 8 months old. She has been nothing but wonderful throughout. Feeding, changing, rocking and patting to sleep has progressed to playing and crowd control, and Gaea has been fantastic at all stages. The twins adore her and she always has a trick or two up her sleeve to distract them from tantrums and settle them down. When we have needed extra support or to change times Gaea has been extremely accommodating and responsive. I highly recommend her babysitting services!

I have two kids, now 8 and 10 and I have had Vesna as their nanny until they started school and then as an evening or entire weekend baby sitter.
I know how it is to be a new mum and in need of a nanny. It feels so hard to know who you can trust with your new baby. For me, it was priceless that I got a highly recommended nanny (Vesna) from another local mum who had been with Vesna for 10 years and could only praise her!! So now I want to do the same for other new mums here who feel lost and in need of someone is will love your baby just as much as you do. IVesna has worked and lived in the neighbourhood SE1 for well over 20 years. She will make your baby’s life fantastic. She did for my kids.
Vesna was with my oldest daughter from 5 months and she took care of my youngest part time starting just few weeks after birth and full time from 6 months. She loves babies and kids. She is very organized, wonderful with kids, so full of energy and ideas. The kids did activities every day. I worked from home so she would take the kids to her apartment (she lives next to Bermondsay station). I found it easier to work with the kids not around. Both me and my husband travelled a lot for work internationally and were often away a few nights in a row. Vesna would stay overnight iin our apartment and look after the kids full time. She is also so goood at teaching the kids useful manners. It was just amazing coming to pick up my kid and i got to see my daughter putting her shoes away and hanging her coat and going to wash her hands at Vesna´s house - she wasn’t even 2 then. Lets just say that she didn’t learn these skills at my house… Vesna mostly only had one kid at a time. Our kids have visited every museum, park nature place , club etc there is thanks to Vesna. She is a mum herself and my kids thought of her son as their older brother and loved him so much. Vesna is very honest and extremely reliable. You are lucky to get her. Very lucky.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Simona. As a first-time mum, the thought of leaving my son with someone new was understandably daunting, but Simona has completely exceeded every expectation.
From the very beginning, she has been warm, loving, patient, and trustworthy. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about each child in her care and creates a nurturing environment where they can thrive. Although I worried that my son would struggle to settle in, Simona was so supportive and reassuring throughout the process. Thanks to her kindness and dedication, he settled beautifully and now absolutely loves going to daycare.
One of my favourite things is receiving the photos and updates she sends during the day. My son always looks so happy, engaged, and full of smiles. The variety of activities Simona plans each day is fantastic, and it's wonderful to see how much thought and effort she puts into creating fun, educational experiences for the children.
Even at his young age, I can see how much he is learning and developing from the environment Simona creates. He has grown so much in confidence and curiosity, and he absolutely adores Mona. Seeing him excited to go each day gives me complete peace of mind.
I cannot recommend Simona highly enough. She is truly exceptional, and we are so grateful to have found someone who cares for our son as if he were her own.
