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.
I cannot rate Lou enough. My son has a complex heart condition and she is the first person I have trusted besides myself and my family. She goes above and beyond every day to care for the individual needs of all the children. She took special care to learn all about my son and his needs, including requesting a health care plan and training on his equipment. Nothing felt like too much to ask and my son loved every day he was with her. She taught him so much during his time at Lou Lou's Little Ones and the change in his confidence and social skills is remarkable. I truly cannot thank her enough for all she has done for our family and giving my son his first taste of independence in the best possible way. She has set him up perfectly for preschool in September and I can't wait to send my youngest to her too!
Both our daughter and son have been looked after by Sally, Colin and Amber. We couldn’t be happier with the care they have both received.
It can feel very daunting trying to find a childminder, but from the moment we met Sally, Colin and Amber, and saw the beautiful, child centric, and outdoorsy setting we knew our kids would be in safe hands. With loads of opportunities to play outside and do lots of crafts, which they loved.
On top of this, in the 5 years they’ve looked after our two, I can’t recall one day of them letting us down.
We feel very lucky to have found them when we did.
We cannot recommend Seda highly enough. As a qualified medical nurse with experience in a hospital neonatal department, she brings exceptional knowledge, professionalism, and confidence to her role as a maternity nurse.
She cared for our baby over many nights with genuine warmth and an incredible ability to understand exactly what our baby needed. She also provided wonderful support to my wife during those initial months, giving us both reassurance and confidence.
What really stood out was her continued support after her placement, offering thoughtful advice by text and phone on sleep, weaning, and other newborn questions. Her guidance was always practical, reassuring, and evidence-based.
Seda is kind, dependable, and completely trustworthy. We are incredibly grateful for her support and would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for an outstanding maternity nurse.
I cannot recommend Adeola highly enough. She has been an amazing childminder for my son, providing a safe, caring, and nurturing environment where he has been able to learn, grow, and thrive.
From the very beginning, she made both my son and me feel comfortable and supported. She is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about the children she looks after. My son always enjoys his time with her, and it gives me great peace of mind knowing he is happy, well looked after, and engaged in fun and educational activities.
As a working parent, having someone so reliable, flexible, and trustworthy has been invaluable. Adeola communicates well, keeps me updated, and always goes above and beyond to ensure my son's needs are met.
I am incredibly grateful for the care and dedication she has shown, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for an exceptional childminder.
We were so fortunate to have Amy as our son's full-time nanny for over a year, starting in October 2023 when he was six months old, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
From the very beginning, Amy brought a wonderful combination of professionalism and genuine warmth to our home. She was reliable, organised, and took her role seriously — but more than that, she truly cared for our son as an individual. She was attentive to his needs, responsive to our guidance as parents, and always made him feel safe and loved.
Watching our son thrive in Amy's care gave us real peace of mind, and that is something that is hard to put a price on. She is the kind of nanny that families are very lucky to find.
Any family would be in wonderful hands with Amy — we would not hesitate to recommend her wholeheartedly.
Claire has been looking after our youngest daughter since she was just nine months old and our eldest daughter after school, and I can say without hesitation that finding her has been one of the best things that has happened to our family.
Claire is so much more than a childminder. She has become a truly special part of our lives and has played, and continues to play, such an important role in our daughters' childhoods. There is nobody else I would leave my children with so completely, confidently and happily.
From the moment we met her, Claire's warmth, kindness and genuine love for the children in her care shone through. She has created something incredibly special at Claire's Curiosity Cottage. Every day is filled with fun, adventure and learning. Whether it's trips to the park, visits to the zoo, attending local groups, exploring the outdoors or taking part in imaginative activities at home, Claire is always on the go, creating magical experiences and happy memories for the children she cares for.
What makes Claire exceptional is the way she nurtures every child as an individual. She instinctively knows when to encourage, when to comfort and when to celebrate their achievements. She has helped our daughters grow into confident, curious and happy little girls, always supporting them with endless patience, care and enthusiasm. Our girls absolutely adore her, and the excitement on their faces when they know they're spending the day with Claire speaks volumes.
As parents, there is no greater comfort than knowing your children are safe, loved and thriving. Claire gives us that peace of mind every single day. Through milestones, busy periods and everything in between, she has been a constant source of support, not only to our daughters but to our whole family.
I honestly cannot thank Claire enough for everything she has done, and continues to do, for us. The dedication, energy and love she pours into her work is extraordinary, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Claire has played, and continues to play, a hugely important part in our family's story, and we will always be grateful for the impact she has had on our daughters' lives.
If you are fortunate enough to secure a place at Claire's Curiosity Cottage, your child will be in the very best hands.
Five stars simply don't feel enough. Claire is truly one in a million.
As a mum, I honestly couldn’t ask for a better childminder. Knowing that my child is happy, safe, and so well cared for gives me complete peace of mind every day.
She is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about every child she looks after. My child absolutely loves spending time with her and is always excited to go. I’ve seen such a positive difference in their confidence, social skills, and development since being in her care.
She provides a warm, nurturing environment with lots of fun and educational activities, and she always keeps me updated on how my child’s day has been. It’s clear that childcare isn’t just a job to herit’s something she’s truly passionate about.
I feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any mum looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dedicated to looking after their child. Thank you for everything you do!
I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder for my daughter. From the very beginning, she has created a safe, caring, and nurturing environment where my daughter has truly thrived. Being a first time mum, I was very nervous sending my daughter, but she settled in very quickly with Ana.
My daughter is always happy and excited to go, which speaks volumes. It’s clear how much love and attention she gives to each child, and I have seen such positive development in my daughter’s confidence, social skills, and learning.
Communication has always been excellent — I was updated regularly, with photos throughout the day which gave me real peace of mind. Inaya loved the regular trips to the park and plenty of outdoor play.
I couldn’t recommend Ana highly enough. I am so gutted that we have had to cut this journey short. Thank you so much for what you have done for Inaya. We will miss you!!
Fatima has been an incredible childminder, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Hannah has been with her for the past two years, and throughout that time Fatima has provided a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where she has truly flourished.
From day one, Fatima welcomed Hannah as if she were part of her own family. She has always been kind, patient, caring, and attentive, and it has given us complete peace of mind knowing our daughter was so well looked after every day.
Hannah has learned so much during her time with Fatima. Her confidence, independence, communication, and social skills have grown tremendously, thanks to the wonderful activities, encouragement, and support Fatima provides. Every day was filled with fun, learning, creativity, and genuine care.
What makes Fatima so special is the love and dedication she puts into every child she looks after. She builds such meaningful relationships with both the children and their families, and it is clear that caring for children is much more than just a job to her—it is her passion.
Claire takes care of my little girl and has done since she was 9 months. She is two in November. Zara has settled in so well with Claire. She loves going out to the park and on walks with Claire and the other children she looks after. Claire sends photos and keeps me in the loop which makes me feel at ease throughout the day. Zara always comes out with a smile on her face and a clean nappy. Would recommend claire to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable childminder.

My little boy was here for 15 months and has since day one always loved going there. Hanane is a very caring childminder and her family and are just as lovely and has taken such good care of my boy. They go to the park everyday, he loves her home cooked meals and they do fun activities every day that she updates us on! Hanane is not only a great childminder but also a very loving person that we have become very fond of and she has been so vital in his development in his early years and has been like a second family to us. I always know that he is so well looked when he is there. We are eternally grateful that we have had such an amazing childminder in our lives and I can not recommend her enough!

Amy has been a wonderful part of our family life in Cambridge. She is a highly skilled and experienced nanny and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. She has been an integral part of our sons’ development.
Amy is deeply embedded in Cambridge and knows lots of parents and playgroup organizers who all think the world of her (they’ve told us so, unprompted, many times). Amy has helped our son make friends and build relationships. She’s arranged social plans for our son with other families, and during term breaks (when playgroups are on break) has arranged outings with friends to the zoo and museums to keep things fun.
Amy is patient and kind. She is calm, even keeled, and deeply in tune with our son. She has helped him grow as a little person and created such a loving, stable environment for him.
We couldn't be happier with the care Harpreet provides for our daughter. Leaving your child with someone new is always daunting, but our daughter adjusted so quickly to Harpreet's warm and welcoming environment.
She absolutely thrives there! She eats brilliantly during her time with Harpreet, and she is always so happy when we pick her up. In fact, she loves it so much that even on her days off, she asks if she can go to "school"!
Beyond her wonderful care, Harpreet puts a fantastic emphasis on early education. Our daughter is learning so much—from numbers and alphabets to fun poems and songs.
Harpreet is also incredibly accommodating and flexible, often helping us out with last-minute schedule requests, which has been an absolute lifesaver for our family.
We are so grateful to have found Harpreet and cannot recommend her highly enough to any parent looking for a loving, educational, and reliable childminder!
We highly recommend Maloryn. She was a truly wonderful nanny to our two sons (aged 7 and 4) for over a year, and we are so grateful for the care she provided them. We still try to find as many opportunities as we can for her to come and babysit occasionally as the boys miss seeing her more regularly.
Maloryn has a brilliantly child-led approach; she took the time to really get to know the boys as individuals, understanding all of their unique likes, dislikes, and personalities. She is constantly coming up with fantastic, fun crafting ideas that keep them engaged and creative.
Beyond her wonderful creativity, her core approach is deeply loving, patient, and understanding. It is abundantly clear how much she genuinely cares for our children, and they adore her in return. From a parent's perspective, she is extraordinarily reliable, professional, and an excellent communicator. She somehow always left the house so perfectly tidy and she is also an incredible cook.
Any family would be very lucky to have her!
My son absolutely loved spending time with her and was always happy and excited to see her. She puts her whole heart into caring for children and always paid close attention to sons’s needs, making sure he felt safe, happy, and cared for. She is kind, patient, reliable, and genuinely caring. We are so grateful for everything she has done for our family, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing babysitter. ❤️
I cannot recommend Natural Learners highly enough! The setting is always exceptionally clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully set up for learning and play.
What I love most is the focus on regular outdoor play and the small group environment. Having fewer children means my child gets plenty of individual attention tailored to their specific development, which has made a noticeable difference in their confidence and skills. It’s the perfect blend of a warm, home-from-home feel and an enriched educational space. We feel so lucky to have found this setting!
Our daughter has been attended Tricia’s early years setting since she was 10 months old. She is now 3 and a half.
From the first time on meeting Tricia, we knew in our hearts that our little girl would be in safe hands. Tricia is a loving and kind care giver and our daughter absolutely loves being there during the week.
Tricia offers an outstanding selection of activities throughout the week that meet the educational milestones of all the children. Every day has plenty of variety and our daughter thoroughly enjoys this.
Tricia has also provided our family with guidance and advice which has been gratefully welcome with us being first time parents.
We are forever grateful that our daughter attends Tricia’s setting as nothing else can compare! Tricia’s setting is like a home from home where our daughter is made to feel welcome and safe whilst we are at work.
I was recently at a wedding where Kellie looked after the child of the bride and groom before hosting a pyjama film evening for all the children at the wedding. It was so nice for all the adults to enjoy the evening festivities, knowing that our children were in great hands. We were in contact with Kellie before the day, giving details to help with the evening, and Kellie took the time to know the children before the film started, so they were all comfortable and happy. Our son had a great time, and was fast asleep when we went to collect him at midnight! We can’t thank the bride and groom enough for having such a child friendly wedding, and for Kellie for making all the parents and children feel super comfortable. Would totally recommend.
