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.
Mahya was great with my autistic son. She followed his lead through play, engaged really well with him despite his limited communication skills, and made sure his needs were met. She has a gentle, calm approach, which I think is hugely important when working with children with SEN. I’m really glad I came across her and will definitely be using her again!
We honestly couldn’t recommend Yvonne enough. She looks after our 2-year-old son, and from the very beginning she has made him feel safe, loved and completely at home. Communication is so easy & we know we can talk to Yvonne about anything.
My son has allergies, so finding someone who is knowledgeable, confident and careful when it comes to managing them was really important to us. Yvonne has been amazing in this respect and has always made us feel reassured that he is in safe hands.
In just three months, our son has learnt and developed so much. When he first started with Yvonne, he could only say a few words, and now he’s starting to string words and little sentences together. It’s been so lovely to see his confidence grow, and we know that the fun, engaging and nurturing environment Yvonne provides has played such a huge part in that.
He has so much fun at Yvonne’s house and genuinely looks forward to going. Most importantly, he feels safe, happy and cared for, which means the world to us as parents.
Yvonne is one of the kindest, most caring, patient and loving people, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her looking after our baby. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough! ❤️
I don’t feel like We could put into words how wonderful Jess is, we had so many issues with a nursery setting our daughter was in, we were lost and then we found Jess through a recommendation.
Our daughter became herself again and loved going to jesses house as much as we loved her going there.
We felt so much relief knowing our daughter was in her care, playing outside, growing veggies and flowers and interacting with nature.
Jess allows children to be who they are she doesn’t try to heard them into the fitted box. She understands them on a level you can’t even comprehend!
We had beautiful updates with lots of lovely photos every day she was there, which always put a smile on my face at work.
Jess is not only amazing with children and her setting absolutely beautiful, she is also such a lovely caring kind woman in herself, we loved seeing Jess as much as our daughter did, she is a breath of fresh air.
We are forever thankful for the love, care, respect and time she put into our daughter.
Absolutely wonderful!
My son was with Miss Dora for about a year and a half and I saw so much growth in his confidence. He was so comfortable with her and she really saw his potential (academically) yet knew how to meet him at his level. She takes the children on trips and they bake and grow herbs in the garden, overall wonderful experience!

We couldn’t recommend Claire enough! She has been incredibly helpful, supportive, and kind throughout our child’s time there. Her dedication and warmth have made the transition into school almost effortless, and we are truly grateful for her positive impact on our child’s experience.
Sadika and Ama have been like a second family to our daughter. My wife and I really feel like they both deeply cared for her and we are quite sad she has had to move on to "big girl school". I can't quite recommend Sadika enough, our daughter has flourished under her care and early years guidance. If we had another child they would be going to 'Dikas' too!
We honestly cannot thank Jo enough for the incredible care, love and support she has given Ivor over the last 3 and a bit years.
From the very beginning, we knew Ivor was in safe and loving hands. Jo has gone above and beyond to make sure he has felt happy, cared for, supported and included, and she has played such a huge part in his early years. He has absolutely loved his time with her, and it has been so lovely to see the bond they have built over the years.
Jo is so much more than just a childminder to us. She has become a very special family friend, and we will always be incredibly grateful that we found her. She has been there for the happy moments, the challenges, the milestones and everything in between, always with kindness, patience and a genuine love for Ivor.
It has been incredibly hard to say goodbye as Ivor transitions to nursery ready for school, but we know he will take so many wonderful memories with him. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to care for him during such an important part of his childhood.
Thank you, Jo, for everything you’ve done for Ivor and for our family. You will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
My little boy has been going to Zee’s setting since November 2025 and we couldn't be happier with the care our child has received.
From the very beginning, Zee has been so kind, patient, and genuinely caring, making both us and Isaac feel comfortable and welcome. Isaac settled in much quicker than we expected and adores Zee’s place as much as home.
The setting is well organized, safe, clean and very welcoming. Zee is creative and always looking for new fun ideas to do with the children. Isaac really enjoys the wide range of different activities that Zee offers and it’s great to see how much he has learnt & his confidence grows over the past few months. We always look forward to receiving photos and daily updates and Zee has always been on top of this, she is a great communicator.
I’m very happy with the service Zee provides, knowing my son is safe and fully happy when around her care.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful person to care for our little boy over the past 2.5 years. Before Poly we had a few other people doing her job but it never felt right. From the very beginning, Poly became so much more than our nanny. She became a truly special part of our family - we call her 'Auntie Poly'
She has cared for my boy with so much love, patience, kindness and warmth, and we have always felt completely reassured knowing he was in her hands. When she arrived at our place our boy was not even walking and now she has watched him grow and celebrated his little milestones and filled his days with fun, laughter and so many happy memories.
Poly was very flexible with our hours and always trying to help wherever she could.
It’s incredibly hard to say goodbye after such a special chapter of our lives. We will always be grateful for everything she has done for our boy and for our family. She will always have a special place in our hearts, and we hope she knows just how loved and appreciated she is.
Thank you for loving our boy as your own. We will miss you more than words can say. ❤️

We honestly couldn’t recommend Sharon enough. From the very first day, it has felt like a second home for our daughter. Sharon has cared for her with so much love, kindness and patience, always making her feel like one of her own children.
Over the years, Sharon has become such a special person in our daughter’s life. She has helped her grow in confidence, become more independent and, most importantly, always made her feel safe, happy and loved.
Leaving your child with someone is never easy, but with Sharon we have always had complete peace of mind knowing she is being cared for as though she were part of Sharon’s own family. It really is so much more than childcare — it feels like home.
We will forever be grateful to Sharon for all the love, care, fun and wonderful memories she has given our daughter. She has been such a huge part of her early years, and we couldn’t have wished for anyone better. Thank you for everything, Sharon. ❤️
Charlotte has started working with our son, to provide direct 1-to-1 tuition as supplement to his normal Mon-Fri school attendance.
The sessions have been extremely beneficial. The 1-to-1 relationship ensures our son receives tuition that is specific to his needs, recognising his existing strengths and uplifting areas where he needs further development.
Charlotte demonstrates experience and variety in her educational abilities, to keep the sessions fresh, interesting and progressive.
Our daughter spent around 2 years with Sally aged 1-3 and we are so so lucky to have had her for those years.
What we loved the most:
- The babies / toddlers get to go outside and explore all sorts of fun places like Paradise Park, Stanmer Park, loads of farms, the beach in summer etc. - this just felt so much better to us than being at the same nursery setting all week
- There are only 3 children at a time and they form such lovely bonds with each other, as well as with Sally
- Our daughter was always SO excited and happy to go to Sally's and this made us feel so much better about leaving her all day with someone other than us
- Even though there's lots of activities and trips every day there is also a clear routine every day which I think enabled our daughter to feel settled quickly
- From a parent perspective, it was nice to interact with one person rather than there being multiple different numbers and staff if we wanted to get in touch with her
- Sally takes a common sense approach when toddlers have colds / sicknesses
- Everything was very professional and organised over the 2 years we used Sally's services
We were very keen to use a childminder and Sally completely lived up to our expectations!
Paula has been absolutely wonderful with my 2 children, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is such a kind, caring and genuinely lovely person, and from the very beginning I felt completely confident that my children were safe, happy and well cared for in her hands.
Both children loved going to Paula’s and had so much respect and affection for her. She created a warm and nurturing environment, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared about the children as individuals.
Paula was also flexible and understanding, which made such a difference. She always went the extra mile and would check in on us if the children or I were unwell, which showed just how thoughtful and caring she is beyond simply providing childcare.
Knowing that my children were happy, safe and so well looked after gave me complete peace of mind while they were with her. We are genuinely going to miss Paula and feel very lucky to have had her as such an important part of my children’s early years. ❤️

Nikkie, Harry and Laura are just fantastic and provide a really lovely, supportive environment with the perfect balance between play and learning. My son was there weekly from nine months to 3 years, but he often attended much more when Nikkie had more availability. He'd bring home an array of fab crafts which he'd made (including really thoughtful greetings cards ahead of Mother's Day etc). He was always proud of the different things he'd learnt and even though he's now at full-time pre-school he still constantly asks, "can we see Harry, Nikkie and Laura soon"? He was really well fed, loved the other children who were various ages and would tell us all about the visits to the beach, park or soft play they did daily. Nikkie was also really helpful in supporting us as first-time parents. I honestly can't recommend this setting enough - I've discovered how rare it is to have three registered childminders looking after a small group and I know my son really benefitted from this much support.

Kat was an absolute lifeline during my first year of parenthood. Navigating new motherhood in a different country away from my family felt daunting, but her presence changed everything. She brought a rare blend of deep professionalism, warmth, and intuitive care that gave me complete peace of mind. I will forever be grateful for the comfort, stability, and heart she brought to our lives during such a crucial year.
Ewa is absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she gives to my little boy. She is kind, caring, patient and genuinely loves what she does. My baby boy has been with Ewa from a young age and will be staying with her until he is 2 years old, and I feel so lucky to have found her.
One of the things I really love is receiving daily updates and pictures throughout the day. It’s so lovely to see what he has been up to, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing that he is happy, enjoying himself and being well looked after.
He is always happy to see Ewa, which says so much about how comfortable and secure he feels with her. She puts so much care and effort into making sure he is happy, learning and having fun.
I would highly recommend Ewa to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring and wonderful childminder. Knowing my little boy is in such safe and loving hands means so much to us. We are very grateful for everything she does for him. ❤️
Leaving your baby in the trust of somebody else and having to go back to work, has got to be one of the toughest decisions you’ll ever make. Shelly makes that easier for you. It’s a home from home environment. Immys development came on leaps and bounds and she’s part of the reason she’s the confident, kind & clever little girl she is today. It’s not just the adventures here there and everywhere- & there really are special days out.. but also the little magical moments she creates for birthdays and Christmas etc. All the little things you don’t expect but mean so much! I had another child and there was no doubt both our girls would be with Shelly. She also provides great flexibility in times of unexpected troubles. Me and Jamie are super grateful for caring for our babies and helping them thrive. Both our girls say “Shelly’s my best friend, I love her” what more is there to say!
We couldn’t be happier with the care Tinzar provides for our son. From day one, she created a warm, welcoming, and safe environment where he instantly felt comfortable and happy.
What sets Tinzar apart is her genuine care and dedication to each child's development. She plans a brilliant range of activities—from creative crafts and sensory play to fun outdoor trips—that keep him constantly engaged, curious, and learning. We love getting regular updates and photos throughout the day, which give us total peace of mind while we're at work.
Her communication is excellent, and she maintains a wonderful balance of structure, learning, and fun. Our son has grown so much in confidence and independence since joining her setting, and he looks forward to going to her house every single day.
We highly recommend Tinzar to any parent looking for high-quality, loving, and reliable childcare.
Kailani has taken care of my son over the past 3 years. Initially one day a week when he was around a year old, and then he returned full time around two years old until starting school nursery this September.
Kailani helped Joey prepare for nursery doing plenty of learning, reading, arts and crafts and taking him to a local playgroup and park so he was kept busy and every day and burning his energy off and socialising with the other children. I also noticed he learnt good manners/boundaries and listening when going outside.
Lovely, clean home with a nice sized play room and really nice family. Joey much preferred this setting to a private nursery which we tried a couple of times. Overall, we found the quality of care great. Always fed and watered and doing something fun with the day. Highly recommend
