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 son has been looked after by Claire for a year now and it's the best decision I could of made for him.
Claire is kind, caring and personal when it comes to looking after your children and has heaps of experience and knowledge of children's needs.
My son has come on leaps and bounds since being in Claires care and seeing all the great activities they do in and out the house has been so lovely.
I would recommend Claire to anyone looking for a great childminder in the area.
Cannot thank you enough! š„°

I can't quite believe we've reached the end of our time with Mandy. Both my children went to Mandy's lovely home setting and now, after 6 years, we've said goodbye for the last time as my youngest starts school. Both my children loved it at Mandy's and she has been amazing with them and incredibly reliable over the years. We shall miss you Mandy, thank you for everything you have done!
We couldnāt be happier with the care our son has received since starting with Laura in October 2024. From the very beginning he has settled in very quickly and he has loved going ever since.
What makes Laura's care truly special is the warm, welcoming and homely environment she provides. Her own children, especially her son, have completely āadoptedā our son and made him feel like a part of their family. It is lovely to see the bond they have developed, and it means so much to us as parents knowing that he is cared for with such genuine warmth and affection.
Laura provides a wonderful variety of experiences for the children, regularly taking them out to places such as soft play and organising fun, creative and themed activities. She makes a real effort to incorporate national celebrations and special occasions, making the activities both enjoyable and educational.
We also really appreciate the regular updates and photos she sends us. Being able to see what our son has been doing during the day gives us peace of mind and allows us to feel involved in his experiences, even when we are at work.
Most importantly, our son absolutely loves being there. He has formed such a strong bond with Laura and her family, and we can see how much he is learning, growing and enjoying himself in her care.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Laura to any parent looking for a caring, nurturing and engaging childminder. We feel very lucky to have found her and are incredibly grateful for the love, care and wonderful experiences she gives our son.
Our son went to LoLoās when he was 8 months old. He has been consistently nurtured, loved, and entertained. He has grown up there and itās become a second home. We also hugely appreciate that Lorena has kept him for evenings when weāve needed it and even given him bath and bed time at her house. He loves her and all the staff and weāre extremely grateful we found them. Highly highly recommend.
Lou has looked after both my children. My son from 10 weeks old until 9yo and my daughter from 5 months old until 5yo. I could not have asked for a more lovely, kind and caring person to take care of my children. Both have thrived and were always so happy to go (sometimes is was a struggle getting them to leave š). I could not recommend Lou enough.
We are incredibly grateful to have had Precious look after our son, who has autism and is non-verbal. She is energetic, patient, friendly, and truly wonderful. Our son absolutely adored her. She would always take him to the park after school and prepare snacks for him.Ā
While there were some occasional lapses in punctuality and attendance, she always made an effort to prove that she is responsible and reliable. Her outstanding care, kindness, and excellence shone through every day. We truly appreciate the warmth and dedication she has shown for our child.Ā
We recently parted ways far too soon due to a change in our circumstances, but we would have loved to keep her! We highly recommend her to any new family looking for a warm, dedicated, and loving nanny.

Charlotte has been doing some part-time nannying for our infant son Lucian since early 2026, and has been absolutely fantastic. Lucian warmed to her immediately, and it was clear from the very beginning that she has a lovely, natural way with little ones.
Charlotte is warm, caring, knowledgable and incredibly easy to get along with, as well as being an excellent communicator. She has always been punctual, reliable and completely dependable, and we have felt very comfortable and confident with Lucian being in her care. She's been a genuinely lovely person to have around and has made this stage of our childcare journey so much easier.
Charlotte was only ever due to be with us until Lucian started nursery, and weāre very sorry to see her go - any family would be incredibly lucky to have her. We really couldnāt have asked for more from a nanny.

My son has been going to Zaytouna's Childcare 3 times a week for the past 12 months. Zulekha and her family are incredibly caring and kind - I am so pleased we found her. My son was joined at my hip for the first 12 months of his life - I was worried about him going to childcare at the age of 1 - however, I have never had a problem dropping him off - he always seems happy to go. To me this is telling of how warm and welcoming they are. To my family - Zulekha is known as the baby whisperer. She always cooks the children delicious home made meals and is always taking them out on little adventures. Her and her family are always willing to help us, as much as they can, with the crazy logistics of London plus two children.
Couldn't recommend Zaytouna's more!

My son started with Sarah and Graham when he was just 9 months old, and as a first-time mum, leaving him with someone else was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. From day one, they made the transition so much easier, offering reassurance, support, and genuine care that helped me feel completely comfortable.
The love, kindness, and attention they show to the children is second to none. He was always so happy to go there every day, and I knew he was being cared for in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. They have played such an important role in his early years, helping him grow in confidence and supporting his development every step of the way.
Sarah and Graham have become a huge part of our lives, and I am genuinely gutted that he won't be going there anymore as he starts school. I honestly couldn't have asked for more from them. They have looked after him as if he were one of their own, and for that I will always be grateful.
Thank you for everything you have done for our family. We will miss you enormously, and I cannot recommend you highly enough

Weāve had such a lovely experience and Iām very grateful for the care and attention my daughter received. She was always happy and comfortable, which gave me so much peace of mind.
She was treated with kindness, patience and genuine care, and I could see that she really enjoyed her time there. Communication was always great, and I always felt confident knowing she was in safe hands.
I would happily recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy childminder. Thank you so much for everything! ā¤ļø
We couldnāt have asked for a better childminder than Honey. She has cared for our twins since they were just before one year old, and watching them grow into confident, happy little ones under her care has been such a blessing.
Honey is incredibly patient, kind and nurturing. She creates a warm, safe and loving environment where children genuinely thrive. She always kept us updated, celebrated their milestones with us, and treated our children with the same care and attention she would her own.
Honey puts a lot of thought into her style of care and development of her children. Each child had a different approach bespoke to their ability. This is what makes Honey so unique. How do you also provide a very healthy nutritious meals. All cooked by herself from scratch - her seasonal menus are unmatched in Manor Park!!!
Our twins loved her. Sheās reliable, professional and clearly passionate about what she does. The love, encouragement and stability sheās given our family over the past two years will always be something weāre grateful for.
We wholeheartedly recommend Honey to any family looking for someone trustworthy, caring and exceptional with children. She has made such a positive impact and a difference on our childrenās early years setting the foundation prepared them for the next phase, and weāll always be thankful for everything sheās done.
Shamima has been an absolute blessing for us. She is incredibly understanding, accommodating, calm, and kind, which immediately put my daughter at ease from day one.
One of the highlights for my little girl is Shamimaās wonderful, big garden. She genuinely loves playing out in it, and it was the sweetest reassurance to see her happily running right up to Shamima's front door every single morning without any hesitation.
Really disapointing to be writing this review, Kelly confirmed availability and agreed to childmind then didnt show up on the day. This left us having to take time off work.
We repeatedly tried to contact through this website, via whatsapp and calling. There has been no contact or update.
My children love going to Sarah and Graham. They both have build their confidence and social skills, my son is in year 2 currently and the transition to school was super easy. My little girl is currently at Sarah and Graham 4 days a week. She absolutely loves going and feels so safe under their care. Sarah and Graham are very caring and always have something fun planned for the little ones, whether its creative activities in the cabin or wet play outside.
Simon provided outstanding care for my 6-year-old son. He was punctual, highly professional, and kept my son safe and thoroughly entertained. He has a great energy that kids naturally respond to, and his attention to detail made the whole experience stress-free for me as a parent. Thank you Simon š

Our little girl started with Loretta when she was not even two years old. She was shy, learning two languages at the same timeāRomanian and Englishāand going to Loretta was her very first experience in a childcare setting.
We truly could not be happier with the person we chose to care for, teach, and guide our daughter.
Iris has been with Loretta for three years, and during this time we have watched her grow and develop in such a beautiful way. She has gained so much confidence, made wonderful friendships, and blossomed into a happy, independent little girl. Her English is amazing, and her speech, communication, and manners are incredible. The knowledge and skills she has gained are real and valuable, and we know she will carry them with her as she starts Reception.
One of the things we have always loved most about Loretta is the incredible variety of experiences she provides for the children. No two days are the same! The children regularly visit farms, zoos, toddler groups, splash parks during the summer, libraries, and so many other wonderful places where they can explore, have fun, learn, and grow.
And the learning doesnāt stop there. At home, the children take part in so many exciting and meaningful activitiesāfrom sensory play and learning about hygiene, germs, and brushing their teeth, to baking muffins and preparing fruit salads. Every activity is thoughtfully planned to help the children learn important life skills while having fun.
We are incredibly grateful that we found Loretta. We appreciate not only the wonderful care she gives the children, but also the way she communicates with parents. Her transparency, the regular updates, and the many pictures and feedback we received every day gave us such a wonderful insight into Irisās day and reassured us that she was happy, learning, and thriving.
We will never forget the reassurance and support Loretta gave us in the beginning, while Iris was settling in. It helped us feel confident that our little girl was in safe, caring, and capable hands.
We honestly cannot recommend Loretta highly enough. She is absolutely brilliant, and we feel incredibly lucky that Iris has had the opportunity to spend these precious early years with her.
Thank you, Loretta, for everything you have done for our little girl. ā¤ļø
