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.
Zuzi is an exceptional childminder. Our daughter (M) started with her at 9 months old as Zuzi offered us the option of settling into her setting over a few months, a few hours a week and this has been so beneficial for our little girl. She also came to visit us at home when we were unsure if she would find it difficult settling, and never hesitated to make it easy for us as a family. This included looking after her for adhoc days and hours when we needed help.
Zuzi supports us with advice and guidance and although M is not yet able to verbalise it, we can see that she has made a secure and loving attachment with Zuzi.
Zuzi has a lovely large kitchen area and takes the children out a lot. She’s very flexible on naps and doesn’t mind if M needs a walk in the fresh air in order to fall asleep. She manages to balance a mix of activity and downtime that fits around each child.
M has been with Zuzi for a few months, and as this is our first child we were anxious to get it right for her before returning to work. We can honestly say, Zuzi is everything we wished to find in another caregiver and more. She is patient, kind, loving and the sort of person you want your little one to grow up around.
My son has absolutely thrived in Songita’s care. She’s a wonderful childminder who truly prioritises development, enjoyment and safety. The variety of meals and snacks she provides has been fantastic, helping to encourage my son explore food with confidence. I couldn’t praise or thank Songita enough - we’re so pleased with the care she gives, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly.
My son joined Daisy daycare at 7 months old and I can confidently say it is one of the best decisions we have made as a family. I was very nervous about him starting so young but Sophia and her team have constantly made me feel at ease during his time with them. They are very proactive, always communicate with you, send pictures and update everything on the app. My son has developed so much since joining and gets so excited when he sees his aunties every morning. Nothing puts a parent at ease more than knowing our son is safe, loved and cared for. Thank you Sophia and your team for all you do!
Natalie has really helped my Son not only with Maths and English, but also his confidence in the class room. She is patient and understanding and quickly compiled an appropriate lesson plan, tailor made for him.
I use nealearning for my twin 8 year old daughters, and I’m really happy with Esi and Natalie’s service. They tailored their lessons around the girls and their knowledge & personalities. They are incredibly flexible and really show care in their teaching. My children really like both tutors and it’s great to see them grow in their confidence with maths and English. I have already recommended them to two other parents, so definitely give them a try if your thinking of a patient and professional tutoring service.
Marie was great with my little one who was 2 months old at the time. She took really great care of my daughter who was returned home happy and well looked after. My daughter got along with Marie from the get go, which was reassuring for me. I would definitely recommend her services.

Orooj has been supporting our family since 2018. As a working mother of three, I have relied on her assistance at various times. The longest period of her service was from 2019 to 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when both my partner and I, as key workers, were required to continue working on site.
Throughout this time, Orooj demonstrated reliability and trustworthiness, providing a high standard of care for my children. She consistently maintained a positive and nurturing relationship with them, and her support was invaluable to our family.
Although we do not require full-time childcare now, but we know we can always rely on Orooj’s support whenever needed.
We booked Donna for a family wedding last weekend and she was simply excellent. Our 3,5 year old was over the moon to have someone to bring new toys and play trains with him. Donna even got our 9 month old to sleep so I could enjoy the evening of the wedding. That’s something nobody other than me or my husband managed so far. We’re so grateful for her and it won’t be the last time that we will require her help. Thanks so much Donna!
Ilaria worked as a nanny for my first child for two years, and I cannot praise her enough. She took care of my child with incredible love, patience, and dedication. On days when I arrived late, she would kindly make sure my child had dinner, always going above and beyond her responsibilities.
She is an excellent professional who performs her work with genuine care and affection. Ilaria is trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about what she does. I highly recommend her to any family looking for someone loving, reliable, and committed.
My son had been using Kirsty from 9 months old until just recently when he moved to preschool, he loved every single second and still talks about her often.
Kirsty simply is the best, the kids constantly go out and explore whether that be at many local groups with other childminders or out at local attractions. She certainly likes getting them out and about rather than be stuck at home behind a screen like previous providers I’d used for my daughter.
Kirsty was extremely reliable, and kept me informed with updates of photos. My son loved going to Kirsty’s aswell as my daughter in the holidays.
I can’t recommend her enough, if I ever had another child I’d have no doubt but to use her again.
Rachael
Victoria has been an absolutely wonderful nanny for our family. She is warm, patient, and genuinely caring, creating a safe and happy environment for our child every single day. Her professionalism and calm nature gave us great peace of mind, and our child always looked forward to spending time with her. We are truly grateful for her support and couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
My son started going to Parveen just after his first birthday and has flourished. He was with her until he started reception and she made his time with her memorable. She was literally like a second mum to him and made him feel very welcome and like he was at home. He thoroughly enjoyed going to playgroups and various outings such as the park, soft play, Cadbury World and many many more. Parveen was extremely kind and helpful, often having all three children during the holidays. She also helped with school pickups if and when required. Parveen is now like family to us and my son really misses her. She encouraged him to be the clever young boy that he is now. I will always be indebted to Parveen for all that she has done for me and my children.
What are we going to do without Claire?! A kind, friendly and loving nanny who isalways professional and always go the extra mile. Our little one loves her and so do we! She took such amazing care of our little one and I will always be grateful to Claire for her invaluable support during my first year of motherhood.
I would absolutely recommend Claire, and you’ll be a lucky family to have her with your little ones.

Giovanna has looked after my 2 children a couple of times now. She is punctual and her communication is excellent. We’re very happy with how she looks after them. We love that she teaches them new words in Italian and Spanish. She likes to have them spend time outdoors and away from screens which is a big plus for us too.
I was really nervous about putting my son into childcare in general but was recommended Hollie and Matt. After meeting with them I immediately felt better. They made the settling in process really easy for me and my son and I felt so reassured that he was in safe hands. My son settled in so well and you can tell how happy and excited he is to go to Hollie and Matts. They answer any questions that I have and help me with any anxieties I have. I also love the updates on the tapestry app, my son always looks like he is having the best time and learning so much. They are also so knowledgable and happy to work with you. He is so comfortable there and he loves the outings. Lucas has an amazing bond with both Hollie and Matt but also their daughters. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Our little girl has been with Rachel since she was 9 months old. Rachel provides a home from home which is loving and nurturing. Since day one communicate has been brilliant with photos from their adventures that day. Our daughter looks forward to going and has made friends with the other children in her setting. Rachel understands each child's individual needs and provides a safe space for them. I cannot fault the services and love she has provided my daughter and each day is always different with lots of activities.
She really is the best 💜
Natalie
Dorothy was such a reliable, trustworthy and caring maternity nurse than we hired her for 6 weeks, but she ended up staying for 6 months! We just couldn't let her go.
Her cleanliness & hygiene is next to none, and her knowledge of newborns and babies (& all their developmental needs) is amazing. We would often walk around the house & hear her chatting away to our baby, telling him stories and just general topics of conversations. She was so caring and gentle with him.
She was such a light in our life during the tricky transition into parenthood, always making sure we were okay emotionally, not just physically.
We are seriously going to miss her walking through that front door at the start of each week, ready to get stuck in with our boy. Anyone would be lucky to have her!
Raquel has honestly been a God send to us as a family. She has been looking after my little girl for a year and honestly could not have asked for anyone better. Our little girl has been diagnosed with JIA and needed a little extra support and help in different areas and Raquel didn’t just support her but did her research to understand her illness better and how she can support her. We have seen our daughter grown so much in knowledge as Raquel has taught her so much in the year she has been with her colours, numbers, letters etc. She has loved our little girl as if she is apart of there family. She honestly has been such a blessing, we really doing to miss her and especially my daughter as Raquel’s home is a home away from home for her.
