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.
Shining stars is an excellent and dedicated professional, very caring and loving with my son. My son has been with her for almost two months, and in two months they have developed a strong bond. He has adapted very well. In two months, she has already helped him develop and perfect many skills. My son loves being at her home and doing activities. He never wants to leave; he feels very happy and loves learning with her. She has all the exceptional teaching materials and varied indoor and outdoor activities. I couldn't have a better exceptional childminder. The world needs professionals like her, who love what they do and are committed to each child. I couldn't be happier and more satisfied. Because those who treat our children well sweeten our mouths with honey. Thank you very much.
Cami usually comes 4 times a week to care for my 1 year old boy, and he absolutely loves her. She usually speaks Spanish to him on my request (though her english is top). She takes him to the playground and to the play cafe as well as takes care of him at home. We travel a lot, and she's been very accommodating. She's joyful and receptive and a pleasure to be around. When she's with my little one, I know she'll be giving him her full attention and that he's in safe hands. Wholeheartedly recommend her!

It meant so much to us to have our daughter in such a nurturing environment for her first childcare experience. Carol and her team are very warm and caring and clearly care about the children they work with. They find creative ways to engage the children. We were sad to go only due to logistics because Carol has a wealth of knowledge and experience. We loved that the setting was homely and not too big but also larger and more stimulating than maybe a traditional childminder. I would definitively recommend.
Thushani and her family were truly like an extension of our own family. From the very first moment, she made me feel completely at ease when I was leaving my son in her care. As a parent of a first child, it'a never easy to trust someone new, but Thushani is genuinely trustworthy and caring.
Every day she took the time to give me a proper handover - answering all my questions, reassuring me, and sharing details about my son's day. She was always professional, kind, smiling, understanding and patient but also consistant and firm when it came to routines and discipline which my son benefited from greatly.
My little boy often mentioned how much he loved her delicious home-cooked food. Thushani also took beautiful photoes every day, which she shares with me - they've become a lovely gallary now hanging on our wall and I've even made a photo album from them.
We have since moved to another town and honestly, there are moments when I still feel emotional thinking about her and her wonderful family. We miss you! People like Thushani are rare in childcare - warm-hearted, reliable and truly exceptional.
We recommend her with all our hearts and send our warmest regards to the whole family. Anna, Adrian & James
Michelle looked after our son from when he was 16m old until he started school and he adored her. Michelle offered a safe and caring environment for my son that meant I was happy and confident to leave him with her. The forest schooling was great for him as being outside is so important at that age and I loved that he wasn’t stuck in the same setting every day. I also found Michelle to be like a parenting guru to me as I often felt I wasn’t sure how to navigate certain phases of my sons development but she was there every step of the way to offer sensible and wise advice from her years of experience. Every child and parent can benefit from this amazing and rare childcare setting.
Myself and my ex wife used Kerry as a childminder for our son, firstly, in fairness, I feel my son was reasonably well looked after whilst in Kerry's care. I attempted to have a conversation with Kerry but she refused unless the mother was also present.
During the difficult times of separation, Kerry felt it was within her role to attempt to isolate me from my son, even using lines such as 'you just have to realise that children just really love and need their mummies'. Whilst I won't argue this point, sending a letter to the court during our family court proceedings having heard one side of the story was extremely unprofessional. I therefore would not recommend Kerry's services
There is so much that can be said about zebra tot's and everything is positive, the staff are friendly, supportive (not just with the little ones), attentive to the individual needs of our Twins and other children in their care.
the setting is quaint and very homely our boys always enjoyed going to Zebra Tots and would clamber out of the car to get there faster to play with their friends, you're always greeted with a smile and asked how you are doing and it's a genuine question your not just a customer there you're made to feel like family.
Helped with so much from the cognitive development of our boys, they where speaking words but not sentences when they first started now they sound like humans, supported us during potty training following the same routine as at their home, they love the spacious garden setting and toys.
i wish i had the words to express how incredible these people truly are, we have used a few childcare services in the area and Zebra Tot's has excelled far past the others, you would be truly lucky to have your children looked after by these persons if your looking for childcare.
Our boys have really enjoyed their time here and would love to continue however as hard as it is to say the time as come.
Massive thanks to Zehra, Bill and her fantastic staff we wish you all the best in all future endeavors!!!

We initially had a very positive impression of Elisha - she was friendly and engaging during our first call and we were genuinely excited to have her join our family as a nanny starting in January. We agreed on all the details well in advance (hours, pay, start date and even planned for her to join us at our wedding abroad) and she confirmed everything both verbally and in writing.
However, after that initial enthusiasm, communication with Elisha became increasingly inconsistent and disappointing. Despite multiple polite follow-ups over several months, she repeatedly failed to send her promised certifications and stopped replying altogether when it came time to confirm a visit with our baby. She had initially agreed to come meet us in September and then simply never followed through or communicated any change of plans.
It’s extremely unprofessional to leave a family waiting and guessing for weeks - especially after confirming all the details of employment. We understand that plans can change, but disappearing without a word is unacceptable when a family is counting on you.
Sadly, based on our experience, I would not recommend Elisha to anyone looking for a reliable or communicative nanny.

Nurdan has been the most exceptional ally for us, with her family style and guided by love and care that comes from the heart. She’s incredible with our baby and he loves her very much. Her Montessori approach shines through all her choices and actions and it’s a clear positive effect in our son. We could not recommend her enough.
Sophie looked after both my children from babies until they started school nursery and I feel so lucky we found her! She works so hard to create a nurturing and safe environment in her home while also heading out to explore the local parks and playgrounds regularly. She is actively involved with the children in her care, creating opportunities to play. Both my children were very happy with her. My daughter especially loved the singing and music sessions. And Sophie supported my son's passion for trains by finding good trainspotting places!
Communication was great. She would always feed back at collection time and share photos of their day. She is calm and warm in her approach while also holding firm boundaries for safety. I truly do recommend her wholeheartedly.
Never used a babysitter before and was slightly nervous and also on a strict time schedule. Lucy arrived early and we clicked immediately, she's such a warm lovely person she took interest in my plans for the evening and easily comforted my son straight away as soon as entering my home. She even did my washing up for me as she knew I'd had a long day! Wonderful, wonderful person and will definitely have her back again and recommend her to anyone who needs childcare!

Norah is a hard working and dedicated child minder with excellent customer services and bespoke support tailored for each client specific needs. My family are privileged and happy to have her care for our kidz. we highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for child care services.
Skye looked after my little from 10months old and she was so lovely, she listen to everything that I asked and kept to my same routine. Skye was always so caring and did so much with the children. I always had lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. Thoroughly recommend.
What can I say! From Diana’s initial enquiry through to the babysitting, Diana has been amazing. Great communication, punctual. She hadn’t met my daughter before so obviously I was a little nervous but as soon as she arrived she and my daughter began playing like they’d always known each other. I went upstairs to quickly do my hair and makeup and could hear my daughter talking to Diana. When it was time for me to leave my daughter just waved me off!! I told Diana not to worry about tidying up toys etc but when I returned home all toys were away. I’d have absolutely no hesitation booking Diana again. In fact when my daughter woke up the first thing she asked was “where’s Diana” while looking on the floor at the foot of the bed (they’d had pillows out in the floor at my daughters suggestion) 🥰 I said did you have fun with Diana last night, is she your new friend and my daughter said she yes, we had lots of fun. I’m so pleased.

I am extremely satisfied with this person, my child is extremely well cared for and learns new things every day. The accommodation was extremely easy, and now he is very happy every morning when he has to go to Mrs. Waheeda. She is extremely involved and organizes outings with children in various locations. My friend had her children for 3 years, recommending her with great pleasure.

Sophie has been looking after my son for the past three years, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. She is caring, patient, and incredibly reliable. From day one, she made my son feel comfortable and happy, he absolutely loves spending time with her.
Sophie goes above and beyond to create a nurturing, fun, and safe environment. She plans lovely activities that keep the children engaged and learning, and she’s always great at communicating about their day. She’s also very approachable and flexible, which has been such a help for our family.
I’m so grateful for everything Sophie has done for us. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough to any parent looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely wonderful with children
