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 are so grateful for the care and support provided. She is punctual, trustworthy, and always makes sure the children are safe and happy. My children quickly built a strong bond with her, and they look forward to seeing her every day. She's patient, responsible, and communicates well with parents ,which gives us complete peace of mind. Highly recommend.
I was nervous about leaving my one-year-old with someone I didn’t know for the first time and in a place unfamiliar to us, but Katie was absolutely amazing. She instantly put me at ease and I felt completely safe leaving my son with her. She even brought Montessori toys along and kept him happily engaged with lots of activities. Katie was flexible and kindly stayed later when I asked, which was such a help. I would definitely recommend her to other parents and will be hoping she’s available again when we next visit the Isle of Wight.
We had Emily caring for our son Alexander one day a week for two years (ages 3-5), and she was wonderful. She consistently took him on engaging outings—playgroups, library visits, and nature walks where she shared her knowledge of plants and animals. Emily was great at keeping us informed with regular updates and photos throughout their days together.
Emily was particularly observant about Alexander's development, providing detailed feedback on his progress and proactively working on areas like fine motor skills. Alexander always looked forward to his time with Emily, and we could see how her thoughtful approach helped him develop confidence and curiosity. She played an important role in preparing him for the transition to school.
We would absolutely recommend Emily to other families.

Our 8 and 6,5 year old boys (and dog) instantly warmed to Miri, who is a complete natural around children (as well as animals). She is also responsive, organised and reliable. As an added bonus she’s a very good cook and happily prepares a nutritious meal for them and us. We can easily recommend Miri to other families.

Dear Lucy,
I just want to take this time out to appreciate you for all you have done for my son.
I am not sure where to start from but .... my son was one when you started minding him, he could barely say more than 3 words but now he is a chatter box.
You potty trained him so well even when I was struggling with potty training, you went as far as buying me a second potty just to make sure that I was following through with the routine. I didn't know what routine was until my son started coming to you, thank you for making this easy for me.
You have made motherhood journey so smooth and enjoyable for me.
You cared for him like he was yours to the extend that whenever he is sad he will say he want to come to you.
You engaged him with a lot of activities during the day as this has reflected in photographs his actions and his words.
My son is only three but he way too mature for his age. He is smart, he talks about library all the time and there is barely any nursery rhymes that he doesn't know.
I am proud of him and all that he has achieved and I have got you to thank for that.
He struggled with his weight and you regulated his diet by incorporating plenty of fruits and vegetables - now the weight is right for his age.
You taught him discipline and how to share.
You always reward his good behaviour and correct his wrongdoing with love.
Thank you lucy. I recommend you anywhere and anytime as one of the best child minder in Manchester.
Many thanks
Sandra.
We couldn’t have wished for a better childminder. Claire has been with our son from just 9 months old until he started Reception, and during those precious years she became so much more than a childminder – she became family. She gives her whole heart and soul, always going above and beyond in every way. Her warmth, patience, and kindness helped shape our son into the confident, happy little boy he is today. She nurtured his curiosity, supported every milestone, and filled his days with joy, love, and laughter. Our son always felt safe and deeply cared for, and we as parents always had complete peace of mind. We will forever be grateful for everything she has done for us. Any family would be truly blessed to have Claire.
We could not be happier with Child's Play. Our 3.5-year-old son absolutely loves going, and as parents we feel so reassured every day by the incredible level of care he receives. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely know each child as an individual, which gives us complete confidence in his wellbeing.
The nursery offers a fantastic range of activities that are both fun and educational, encouraging creativity, independence, and social skills. The space itself is safe, bright, and welcoming, with plenty of room for the children to explore and play.
We are also very impressed with the quality of the food provided - it's healthy, varied, and thoughtfully prepared, which we really value.
Overall, the standard of care, learning opportunities, and environment at are outstanding. We couldn't ask for more and are so grateful to the whole team for giving our son s
I couldn’t be happier with our childminder. She is absolutely wonderful – my two little girls love her so much and always look forward to spending time with her. They are always excited to go, never complain, and come back home happy and full of smiles. She creates such a warm, safe, and fun environment that makes the children feel loved and cared for. I can see how much effort she puts into engaging them with activities, supporting their development, and making every day special.
It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that my girls are in such good hands. I can honestly say she is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely kind and caring. We are so lucky to have found her – I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
Gurdeep kindly supported me when I was in urgent need of childcare. She has such a calm and welcoming approach, and she invited us to visit her home to see the setting beforehand. I felt reassured straight away that my son would be in safe hands and a wonderful environment.
My son absolutely loves spending time with “auntie” and always looks forward to going to her home. He enjoys the lovely garden, the wide range of toys, and the engaging learning activities that Gurdeep provides as an Ofsted-registered childminder – not to mention the delicious food! She has also been very supportive with school pick-ups, which has been a huge help for our family.
Thank you so much, Gurdeep – your home has truly become a second home for my little one.
Donna is everything you want in a childminder and more.
Donna is welcoming, caring and made every effort to get to know us as a family. It’s the little things, like dressing up as Elmo to make our son laugh, that makes Donna so much more than a childminder. She’s supportive, reliable and truly part of our village.
“it takes a village to raise a child”.
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder than Debbie. From the start she showed so much patience and understanding with my little boy who took some time to settle in. She never rushed him, always worked around what was best for him and gave him the space and support he needed to be comfortable. The trust I had in her gave me a peace of mind and I will forever be grateful for everything she has done for us.
Debbie’s setting is outdoors and indoors which created a great balance for my little boy giving him a chance to learn , play and explore in different environments.
She always made sure his needs were met and really took the time to understand what worked best for him.
Since attending Debbies day care I can honestly see such a massive improvement in my little boy and he’s thriving so much more.
Not just Debbie but her family were always great too. My little boy was very fond of them all because of how kind they were and always interacted with him.
I would honestly recommend Debbie to any parent. She provides such a supportive , caring and engaging space where children can truly thrive.
I would highly recommend Carol, who cared for our daughter from the age of 10 months for over three years.
Carol created a safe, welcoming and nurturing environment that allowed our girl to thrive. She was always extremely reliable and organised, and we felt confident leaving our daughter in her care each day.
Carol was always open to hearing our concerns and addressing them accordingly, as well as incorporating our ideas for our girl on a day-to-day basis.
It was always very clear that Carol has a genuine passion for working with children. She is patient, kind and professional, and she truly made a positive impact on our daughter’s early development.
Our daughter was always happy to go to Carol’s house, and she would miss her during holidays a lot.
We loved seeing photos of our daughter and the rest of the children playing together. They were always happy, smiley and having fun. They were doing lots of different activities, games, plays as well as trips to the playground.
As our daughter is now moving to a preschool, we will greatly miss having Carol as part of our daily lives. We highly recommend her to any family looking for a dedicated and loving childminder.
Codie has been coming twice a week for 2 hours to look after my 9-month-old baby while I’m at home. While she plays with him, I’ve been able to get more done around the house that I would otherwise struggle with, so she has been really helpful. She also helps me feed him with the food I prepare. I know my baby feels very comfortable with her, and he is always happy when they spend time together, which gives me peace of mind. She has been punctual and flexible with the timings when my baby has been sleeping. I would definitely recommend her as a babysitter or nanny.
Lisa and Charlene are amazing they looked after my little boy from 13 month till now 4 years old. They are brilliant and so supportive. I was so nervous about leaving my baby boy but Lisa was always brilliant they soon became friends and like family to us and not just a child minder! Today was his last day and I will be forever grateful for you taking care of him now he's off to school but we will still see you in the holidays! Lisa and char are fantastic you can be sure your little ones will be loved and well looked after in there care 😊 thank you again for everything 😊

Sharon has been looking after my little girl since she was 1.5 years old, and from the very first day my daughter felt happy and settled with her. This was such a relief for us, as she had been unsettled in nursery before.
Sharon is not only a wonderful childminder but also a true teacher and guide. She taught my daughter good manners, encouraged her love for books, helped her learn new words and the alphabet, and supported her through important milestones like potty training and eating independently.
What touched me most is the way Sharon welcomed my daughter into her family – she became so close to all of them, and they treated her with such warmth and care. Sharon provided a loving, safe, and nurturing environment where my daughter truly thrived.
We are so grateful for everything Sharon has done, and we will always miss her dearly. She has been an incredibly important part of my daughter’s early years, and I cannot recommend her enough to any parent looking for a caring, supportive, and dedicated childminder. No words enough to thank her. I will wholeheartedly recommend Sharon for any parent for loving, reliable, supportive childminder.
I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention my son Zian receives from Leona. Every single day she takes the children out to the park, playground, sports hall, or library, and at home she keeps them engaged with wonderful educational activities – writing, counting, alphabet practice, reading, Lego building, creative crafts, and much more. Zian absolutely loves going and has built a lovely friendship with her child. Leona is patient, caring, and truly dedicated. Whenever I had questions or concerns, she supported me with advice and kindness. I wholeheartedly recommend Leona to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and educational environment for their child.
My 17 month old son has been going to Shabina for a while now. He absolutely loves going and all his needs are met. Meals are included which is amazing. I can honestly my son gets treated and loved like a family member. Shabina is very accommodating and flexible with last minute changes. I am truly blessed to know my son is cared for so well. I would recommend Shabina to everyone.
