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 recommend Ally and her assistant Louise highly enough. They look after both of my boys — my seven-year-old son, who is autistic, and my five-year-old — through their holiday club care and after-school childminding, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care and support they provide.
They are incredibly supportive, caring and patient, and they have built such a wonderful rapport with both of my boys. In particular, they have taken the time to understand my seven-year-old’s individual needs as an autistic child and have made him feel safe, secure, heard and trusted from the very first day.
It is clear that Ally and Louise have a genuine understanding of young children and SEN needs. They are knowledgeable, approachable and compassionate, and they treat each child as an individual. Knowing that both of my boys are happy, settled and well cared for gives me such peace of mind as a parent.
Their holiday club activities are fantastic. They organise a brilliant range of activities and take the children on exciting day trips and educational outings, giving them opportunities to learn, explore, socialise and experience new things. Everything is thoughtfully planned to make sure the children have fun while also learning and developing.
Their after-school childminding is equally wonderful. They create a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment where the boys feel comfortable being themselves. They are not simply supervising the children; they genuinely engage with them, listen to them and encourage them.
Seeing the positive relationship Ally and Louise have built with both of my boys means so much to me. My autistic son, especially, feeling safe and understood in someone else’s care is incredibly important, and they have managed to achieve that beautifully.
Thank you, Ally and Louise, for everything you do. We are so grateful for your kindness, patience, support and dedication. I would highly recommend you to any parent looking for caring, knowledgeable and trustworthy childcare.
Absolutely 5 stars from us! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤️
We couldn’t be more grateful for Angela and everything she has done for us. She has been such a huge help and has truly gone above and beyond to support our family. There have been so many occasions when she has helped us out of difficult situations and made everything feel so much easier.
Even when Maeve was unwell, Angela went above and beyond to help us find suitable childcare and made sure we had someone trustworthy to look after her. Her flexibility, kindness and willingness to help have meant so much to us.
Maeve has also learned so much during her time at the FabKidz setting, both socially and developmentally and we have seen her grow in confidence and independence.
We are incredibly thankful for all the support, care and guidance Angela has given us so far. It has been a pleasure working with her and we truly appreciate everything she has done for our family. We would highly recommend Angela and FabKidz to any family looking for caring, reliable and supportive childcare.

I attended a wedding at Hawkstone Hall & Gardens between 21 and 23 August 2026 and had the pleasure of using Hannah's babysitting services for my 13-month-old daughter on the evenings of Friday 21 and Saturday 22 August.
From the moment they met, my daughter immediately warmed to Hannah. She is exceptionally kind, caring and nurturing, which gave us great confidence and reassurance. What stood out most was Hannah's proactive approach. Without needing direction, she took care of everything, from feeding our daughter and taking her for walks to settling her to sleep and liaising with the venue staff whenever anything was needed.
As it was my brother's wedding, my wife and I wanted to make the most of a very special family occasion. Hannah's professionalism and initiative allowed us to be fully present throughout the celebrations, knowing our daughter was being cared for in the very best hands. Hannah also stayed late on both evenings, including beyond 1am, which was incredibly helpful and much appreciated.
We felt completely at ease leaving our daughter with Hannah and would not hesitate to recommend her. She is warm, trustworthy, proactive and genuinely cares about the children she looks after. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hannah to any family seeking reliable and exceptional childcare.
Yolanda was a great Nanny to my baby when he was only 5 months old. She was extremely patient and caring at all times. I was a very happy mummy and comfortable whenever I had to leave my little one with her.
I will always commend her care and love for my son during that time

We feel so lucky to have found Katie. Our daughter started with her at 9 months & absolutely loves going to her.
Katie puts so much effort into making the days varied and enjoyable for the little ones. A summary of what activities they’ve done and photos are sent at the end of the day which is great to see.
Katie has a lovely, warm energy and cares so much for the children she looks after which as a parent is all you could wish for.
Thanks Katie you’re a star!
Honestly 5 stars is not enough ! Trish is the kindest Childminder I could ever have hoped for. My little boy started with Trish when he just turned one a year ago and I was very anxious leaving him with anyone but family . I can safely say Trish now feels like family and my little boy loves going . She is nothing but kind, polite , professional , flexible and so much more. Trish always wants to help with tweaking nap times ect when needed and always rotates toys ect for learning and development needs at each time . She listens and cares . She has a wonderful family home , with a lovely garden for the kids to play in . Trish really is one in a billion
My daughter absolutely loves going to this setting for few years now. Safety measures are exemplary, and she feels completely secure and happy here. Hira provides a warm, nurturing environment that excellently supports emotional well-being. I love that they make visits to the local library and park.
Communication with parents is excellent. This is a welcoming and perfect setting that I cannot recommend enough!!
Great worker, she goes above and beyond for my family ! My kids absolutely adore her even to the point where when we come to move country in a few years they want her to come with us ! She definitely became apart of the family ! I struggle trusting people with my 4 kids but with Victoria i knew whole heartedly my kids were safe , loved and having fun when me and my husband worked ! Highly recommend because if you dont your missing out on having such a brilliant role model around your kids!

Sammie has looked after both our children for the last 18 months, and she has been absolutely brilliant. Her environment is a lovely home from home, they’re always going out on trips to different places and the kids love it! She is supportive and kind, and we’re so so grateful for all her help.
Illy was my son's nanny. She quickly bonded with him and it was endearing how quickly he felt comfortable around her. I would hear them laughing while I worked from home in the office or hear her reading to him.
She was very conscious of my son's routine & my approach to parenting. She picked it up quickly & it was clear she considered it important. She made an effort to learn & minimise any impact of the change in my sons care. I think it's one of the reasons he was so comfortable with her. Although I also have to admit I think Illy is one of those people kids naturally warm to.
My son grew fond of her and this was clear when they were together. She was professional & friendly, full of energy & a nice person to be around.
She was always willing to help & support. She was also able to handle my complicated family situation with grace. She even remained calm when the complicated family situations became difficult. In a situation where most childcare professionals would likely quit, she stayed. I believe she did this because she genuinely cared for my son.
That is why I am deeply sorry for the issues caused to her reputation because of her time in my employ. My son's mother has been very critical of Illy. I do not believe these views are justified & this is also an unfortunate pattern of behaviour for my son's mom. This is not the first time such criticism has been levied unjustly.
I hope the negative review does not dissuade parents. If you gave Illy a chance I would bet you would be thankful you did. I am grateful to her for all her help, grace and most of all for how she has taken care of my son.
Our daughter has been in Katie’s care for the last two years, and we can honestly say that finding Katie was one of the best things that could have happened for our daughter.
Katie is a phenomenal childminder. She really took the time to get to know our daughter and has become like a second family to her. It has been amazing to watch our daughter thrive in so many aspects of her life, and Katie has played such an integral part in that.
Our daughter always comes home so happy, with so much to tell us about her day. She has never not wanted to go and is always excited about seeing Katie and the other children.
Katie always has different activities planned for the children, and they are constantly exploring, whether that’s at home or out and about. She is also fantastic at supporting us as parents, giving us ideas and activities we can do at home to help our daughter continue learning and developing.
We would highly recommend Katie without hesitation. We are so grateful she has been part of our daughter’s journey and couldn’t have wished for anyone better. We can’t wait for our second daughter to join her care in the near future!
Our daughter has been with Gina for just over 3 years now.
Gina has been very supportive with our daughter who has a speech disorder and selective mutism, but Gina makes she is always supported, involved, having fun and is comfortable and supports her interests.
One of the highlights of her week is going to Gina’s and having lots of fun there, it is a home away from home for her.
Gina keeps us up to date with photos of what our daughter has been up to which is always lovely to receive and is always doing fun creative stuff with the children i.e. different crafts to baking with them.
Our daughter loves bringing home what she has created and giving them to us.
Really grateful we found Gina for our daughter.
Honestly, we were so lucky to be Marie's very first family when she started out here! Both of our kids spent time with her, and we couldn't have asked for better care. Most importantly, both of them genuinely loved going to her.
Her home is warm and welcoming and the kids felt safe and happy. They had a well structured, varied weekly routine that made it more predictable for our kids. They were always out and about, whether it was trips to local parks, playgrounds, soft play, or weekly music groups. She also does quite a bit of seasonal arts and crafts with them.
Over the years, we built a really strong, trusted relationship with Marie. She’s super approachable, warm, and easy to talk to, which gave us complete peace of mind as parents. We truly can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a brilliant childminder!
Kirsty is an absolute gem! ❤️ My son has been to two other nurseries, but he has never been so excited to go somewhere. He absolutely loves Kirsty and always looked forward to seeing her. She is caring, kind and loving and he would even talk about her when he was at home.
He has now moved on and will be starting primary school in September, but he still tells me he misses going to Kirsty! That says it all. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone who genuinely cares for and loves the children she looks after. ❤️
Aggy looked after our preschool aged son, and we honestly couldn’t have been happier with her!
He absolutely loved her from the get go and always felt happy and comfortable in her care. Aggy has such a warm and welcoming home, and she looked after him with so much kindness, patience and compassion.
We were also really grateful for how flexible and accommodating she was, which made everything so much easier for us.
We would 100% recommend Aggy to any family. She’s wonderful, caring and genuinely amazing with children!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Nanny Kate. She has looked after our son, Anay, for several years, and we truly cannot thank her enough for the love, care, patience and dedication she has shown him.
Kate has played such an important role in Anay’s early years and has had a major impact on the bright, confident and happy little boy he is today. She always created a safe, caring and fun environment for him, while also helping him learn, develop good habits and grow in confidence.
As a parent, the most important thing is knowing your child is happy and well cared for, and we always had complete peace of mind when Anay was with Kate. He absolutely loved spending time with her, and we could clearly see the wonderful bond they shared.
Even though Anay has now moved on to pre-reception, we will always be grateful for everything Kate has done for our family. She is not just an amazing nanny and childminder, but someone who genuinely cares about the children she looks after.
We cannot recommend Nanny Kate highly enough. Any child would be very lucky to be in her care. ❤️
Thank you for everything, Kate. We will always appreciate the love and support you have given Anay and our family. ❤️
We cannot recommend Charlotte highly enough. Our daughter (18 months) and son (3 years) have been looked after by Charlotte a few times, mainly for last minute babysitting. She has been absolutely wonderful and has quickly become someone we trust completely and who are children adore. She is warm, caring, patient and incredibly attentive, with a natural ability to connect with both children despite their different ages and needs. She is fantastic at keeping them entertained, engaged and happy, while also maintaining a calm and consistent routine. Out children are always so excited to see her, which says everything about the bond she has built with them.
She is responsible, dependable and proactive. We have always felt completely confident leaving the children in her care, knowing that they are safe, well looked after and having a lovely time. She has also been brilliant at organising activities, getting them outside, playing with them and encouraging their development in a fun and age-appropriate way. She is thoughtful, trustworthy and goes above and beyond without ever needing to be asked.
Most importantly, she genuinely cares about our children, and it shows in everything she does. Finding someone who is both exceptional at their job and such a lovely person is incredibly rare. We feel very lucky to have had her looking after our children and would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a fantastic nanny.
I honestly cannot recommend Soonu and Harjit highly enough. They've looked after both of my children for almost a decade now, and in that time they've become so much more than childminders — it genuinely feels like a second home for my kids.
From day one, they've been incredibly accommodating, professional, considerate, careful, and vigilant. Nothing is ever too much to ask, and they go above and beyond time and time again. My children are always well looked after, fed with freshly prepared Asian meals, and cared for with so much warmth and attention to detail.
Communication has always been excellent — there's a good handover at the end of each day, so I'm never left wondering how things went. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my kids are in such safe, loving hands.
Soonu and Harjit are caring, dependable, and truly wonderful at what they do. I trust them completely, and after nearly ten years, they feel like family. Highly, highly recommend.
Nicole looked after my son since he was 9months old until 3 years old,
He has came on leaps and bounds whilst spending time at Nicole’s and his independence has grown,
At every pick up nicole explained the day they have had together and told us what exciting learning and fun they had been doing all day, if there has been any concerns they are always raised the same day.
I could see from looking around the room there was a number of things around the room which will also help with Leo’s development and age appropriate toys which he enjoyed playing with and learning from. In the summer and hot weather he loved playing in the garden and paddling pool!
He really enjoyed his time at Nicole’s and went in every time without hesitation which shows me Nicole looks after Leo well and Leo’s trusts her.
He really will miss her when his at nursery!
