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.
We couldn’t be happier with her work. From the very first day, she showed great professionalism, kindness, and patience with our child. Communication was always clear and consistent, keeping us updated on how everything was going.
Our daughter is Spanish, and we were a little nervous at first because English isn’t her first language. However, Ewa was exceptionally kind, patient, and understanding. She helped our daughter feel at ease right from the start, which gave us enormous peace of mind. It was also our first time leaving our daughter with someone we didn’t know, and doing so in a country that wasn’t our own ---yet everything went perfectly. It’s obvious that she loves what she does and has plenty of experience. Our child always came home happy and relaxed, and that means everything to us.
If we ever have to return to Edinburgh for work with our daughter, we will definitely call Ewa again. We highly recommend her services. Everything was perfect.

Gabby was a wonderful babysitter for my 4 year old when we needed someone to look after her for the evening. She was super organised and keen to meet us all a few days prior to ensure everyone was comfortable and any questions could be answered. What’s more our daughter had a blast on the day! Would definitely recommend.
Since day one, we fell in love with Blerina’s place. It instantly felt like home, warm, welcoming, and full of care. Our son felt the same from the very beginning. He has been with Lina since he was 15 months old, and every morning he happily walks straight into her arms. Seeing that joy and trust reassures us completely that he is safe, happy, and truly loved.
He settled in so quickly, and that is entirely thanks to Blerina’s incredible kindness and dedication. Our son absolutely adores her delicious home-cooked meals and is always excited to discover what new dish she has prepared.
Lina has created a beautiful environment where children can explore, learn, and grow. Her resources are outstanding, and she uses them thoughtfully to offer rich learning experiences every single day. It’s clear that she puts her heart into everything she does.
We honestly cannot thank her enough for the love, patience, and care she gives our little one.

I was very nervous when first seeking a childminder but from the first day i met Patricia i knew my daughter was in the best hands!.
Patricia has been looking after my daughter for around 3 years. She truly has been the best childminder, i cannot put into words. Patricia provides a clean and warm home environment, She cooks nutritious meals in variety and has activities throughout the day. She has been a godsend with being flexible and patient with me being a busy mum. Patricia really has gone above and beyond for me and my daughter over the last 3 years and i am so grateful to have found Patricia and have her look after my daughter the last 3 years.
Patricia has had a big influence on the development for my daughter over the last 3 years and my daughter is always excited to go little heirs. Any parent seeking a childminder for the best childcare can feel at ease when bringing their child little heirs.
Me an my daughter will both miss Patricia beyond words.
THANK YOU PATRICIA !
My daughter has been coming to Kelly’s Little Cubs for almost a year now, staring when she was just 8 months old after having had a bad experience with a nursery prior. She has developed significantly and still continues to develop. Kelly has such a good mix of children that it’s amazing to help my daughters interactive skills with all ages. My daughter loves walking in every more like it’s home from home, she doesn’t even wait for Kelly to say hello before she marches in. Couldn’t recommend Kelly and Rich more they’re absolutely amazing they know the kids like they’re their own. Great handovers given everyday, lots of communication, Observations and photos provided.
Our girl son to be 2 it’s at Klaudia’s soon to be a year. We are very happy with the care and support for our child as she stay there for 6 hours most of the days .Started in February with 2 days a week and extended to5 along the way(we had different childminder for 3 days) as we notice our girl enjoy the settings as well as the company of Klaudia herself and other children.
Settings are clean and safe, our child have the nappies changed frequently which is very importem to me as mum and of course for baby’s comfort too. Kids play outside if the weather it’s suitable , or Klaudia keep them occupied at home when it’s wet or cold outside with drawing ,painting play dooh mixing , cookies decorating🙂.
Highly recommend this carer , good communication etc . No issues if ther is changes we get very early notice to work thing around.
My son joined Jana at the age of 1 year old. Since joining he has a more varied diet which he loves. His speech is improving weekly and he seems very happy throughout the process. He has gained confidence, so I would highly recommended Jana to anyone that asks.
My daughter has been going there for 15 months now and we can’t imagine life without Kelly’s Little Cubs! Everything is amazing my daughter is hitting all targets and everything. The environment / setting is amazing and is set up very well for all ages. Highly recommended. It is literally like a home away from home

Amy has worked for us for four years and has known my youngest since she was born. They have a very special bond, as do we - one that I hope will last far beyond her formal employment with us!
Amy is a wonderful nanny in many ways. Apart from simply loving the company of young children, she is emotionally intelligent - to our needs as parents as well as the kids. She is extremely grounded, resilient, and experienced. She's also open to feedback and communicative which makes having someone in your home much more straightforward! We trust her completely.
I've also not heard of another nanny who has quite as much stamina as Amy. She's often looked after three children at once and spontaneously volunteers to take them all into Central London, drive them to Chessington World of Adventures or just take epic walks around Greenwich - along the river or to the ecology park. Our children are now walkers! She knows the SE like the back of her hand is always out and about.
We'd keep Amy if we could but no longer need a full time nanny. We will miss her enthusiasm and walking in on some wonderful activity she and the kids are finding hysterical - whether it's a curious take on yoga, drawing things to order or some very involved role play. We can't recommend her more highly!

Before Larissa became our daughter childminder we use to go for baby play groups together. I always admired her patience and love for children. Our daughter fell in love with Larissa and we were very lucky that she had space available for us.
From the 1st day our daughter had best time at Larissa’s! Everyday is an adventure! Children play, dance, sing and learn in the same time. Our daughter learned so many new words and new songs. The children at Larissa’s are discovering something new everyday. They are also trying new foods. I can see how my baby girl is developing with Larissa’s help.
As a parents we feel safe and happy that our girl is well looked after and cared for with love.
100% recommended!
Sarah and the team at LC Childminding look after my 18 month old son during the day and my 6 year old son after school most days as well. Both boys love being with Sarah. She feeds them great healthy meals and she has got so many activities going on to stimulate them - both indoors and outdoors, they really do love it there.
Sarah fills me with reassurance throughout the day and is quick to respond to me if I message. She's also on hand to keep them late if I ever get stuck and has been incredibly accommodating in that respect. My littlest seems to have learnt a lot and improved his speech and mobility since being with LC as well. Highly recommend! We will be sticking with her!

Mancy was a regular sitter for our daughter Chloe and was a lifesaver for us at a very busy time in our lives. She was excellent with Chloe - cheerfully and enthusiastically reading and playing with her, and she even helped with meal prep on occasion!
We couldn’t recommend Mancy highly enough!

Ellie was absolutely fantastic with my 13 month old daughter. She was gentle, patient and instantly made her feel comfortable, which gave me complete peace of mind. Ellie kept her entertained, stuck to her routine perfectly and handled everything with so much care. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, kind and genuinely brilliant with little ones. She really cares.
Kim has been caring for my son from 21 months to 3+ y of age. My son has developed from being very shy to a brave and confident child. Kim has supported him in every step and has helped him develop key skills to be able to succeed in preschool (toilet training, eating, communicating effectively, playing, manners, behaviours, understanding the world, reading, writing etc etc etc )
She provides a calm and nurturing environment for children she cares for and my son also benefited from being taken to so may playgroups and activities as well as interacting with Kim’s family.
Everyone in our family absolutely loves Kim and we wish her every success and good health x

I have had the pleasure of observing Kiara working closely with very young children on a daily basis since 2021. Kiara has an exceptional natural rapport with children, and they warm to her immediately. She has a remarkable ability to transition effortlessly from high-energy activities, such as lively dance sessions or spirited games of Duck Duck Goose, to calm, focused moments of story time where the children sit peacefully and stay fully engaged.
Kiara is also fluent in French, which is a wonderful addition to her skill set, as she is experienced in teaching the language to children.
Kiara is consistently trustworthy, responsible, and dependable in every aspect of her work. What truly distinguishes her is her genuine care, patience, and enthusiasm for nurturing and guiding children. She creates a safe, joyful, and nurturing environment that supports children to thrive emotionally and socially.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kiara for any nanny position. Any family would be extremely lucky to have her caring for their children.
If you require any further information, please feel free to contact me.

What I loved most about Julia was her incredibly gentle and thoughtful approach, especially during the settling-in period. She handled those first days with so much care and attention to both my son’s well-being and mine as a mother. Leaving your child for the first time, especially after a whole year spent together, can be emotional and anxiety-provoking. But Julia made the transition feel safe, natural, and completely respectful of our pace.
My son was always excited to go to her. He loved the activities she prepared every day, from sensory play to stories, outdoor time, and simple creative moments that made him come home happy and fulfilled. Her environment is warm and calm, and she has a lovely garden outside that my son really loved. She communicates kindly and clearly, making parents feel truly included and reassured.
Omar will miss you and Carla very much xx
Kerry has been supporting our son for a number of months now & she’s amazing. He looks forward to the sessions, which are fun, engaging & well structured. Kerry has understood his learning type, what he enjoys to do, what he doesn’t & builds a plan that helps in all areas.
