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.
My daughter has been with Trish now since the start of the year when she had just turned 1, and we have found the transition really easy, never had any problems or concerns. Trish has a lovely kind and calming vibe and is laid back and flexible. Whenever we drop off, all of the kids there seem like they’re happy and having fun together. My daughter always goes in happily. Her prices are very reasonable and she has even helped us out with holiday cover for our older son whose nursery shuts out of term time, which has been so useful. My daughter will be continuing to go to Trish alongside nursery when she starts next year.

Laura and Fab are honestly some of the most caring people I have met. They genuinely love and care for all of their children in the setting and describe it as a family which is certainly how we felt, even after my son no longer attended, their care continued! They do lots of lovely things with the children, taking them to play groups, arts and crafts, games and toys and send lots of photos and videos of the day they have had. I cannot recommend Laura and Fab enough! We were offered a nursery place and I regret leaving Laura for the nursery as my son had much more attention with Laura and he was so so happy there. I think child minders are so important and offer that home setting for children which feels particularly important for younger children. I feel so lucky that we were able to send my son to them.

Our daughter has been cared for by Terri for the past two and a half years, and we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful person to look after her. From the very beginning, Terri has been incredibly kind, caring, and thoughtful—always ensuring our daughter feels safe, happy, and loved. It’s clear how much she genuinely enjoys spending time with the children in her care, and her generous spirit shines through in everything she does.
Over time, Terri has become much more than a childminder; she’s truly become part of our family. Her flexibility and understanding have been such a gift to us, and we’ve always felt completely at ease knowing our daughter is in her care. We’re so grateful for the nurturing environment she’s provided and for the positive influence she’s had on our daughter’s early years. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough, you won’t regret choosing Terri.
Our child was with Colin and Allyson from 9 to 17 months, from when I returned to work until we left Cambridge. Our little one settled in straight away and was excited to go and play every day. Colin and Allyson provide a very caring and nurturing environment and clearly take great pride in helping little ones learn and grow.
They offer nutritious meals every day and plenty of fun, engaging activities. Our little one even enjoyed some special outings, like a trip to the zoo. Their outdoor area is excellent, and inside the children have their own dedicated spaces for playing, eating, and a separate sleeping area, which is quite rare. They even helped our little one sleep better, which we were very thankful for!
Communication was always clear and consistent, and Colin and Allyson were both flexible and reliable. They always gave plenty of notice for any holidays, so we never had to scramble for alternative care.
We’re so grateful for the wonderful start they gave our child and would highly recommend them to any family. If we were still in Cambridge, I’m sure our little one would have enjoyed Tiny Tots for years to come!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you do for Thomas. He absolutely loves spending time with you, and it’s so clear how much care and love you give him every day. We’re so lucky to have you — you really feel like part of the family. Thomas is two this month and the short time he’s been in your care he has come along amazing he’s talking more and learning fast you are the best thank you so much for all you do xx

Razia took to my baby boy (7 months) immediately. I highly recommend her as nanny. She was so calming and my son really enjoyed his time with her. Razia is very flexible and diligent. Razia would take my son and go for walks nearby and it was great especially in the summer. She took him to children’s centers if there was a session, if not then she takes him to the library. My son was always engaged and developing when she was around. Unfortunately we moved out of the area and the commute would have been too long so we couldnt continue with Razia as our nanny.
My daughter Skye has been attending Gladys’s setting since September, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and environment she provides. From the very beginning, Gladys created a home-from-home atmosphere where Skye has felt safe, confident, and truly nurtured.
Gladys is open, engaging, and takes a genuine interest in every aspect of Skye’s development. She shares updates regularly, celebrates milestones, and tailors activities that encourage curiosity and independence. It’s clear that she really understands Skye’s personality and supports her learning through play in such a natural, loving way.
Skye has formed a wonderful bond with Gladys and always looks forward to spending time there. The facilities are excellent clean, well-organised, and filled with creative and educational resources that make each day fun and enriching.
Since joining, I’ve seen Skye thrive emotionally and socially, growing in confidence and happiness every week. I couldn’t ask for a better childminder Gladys provides exceptional care and has truly become part of our extended family.

We were recommended Laura and Fab by a neighbour who had nothing but praise for them. Over the past nearly 2 years we can see exactly why. Laura and Fab have provided a safe, welcoming and caring environment for our daughter to grow and develop in so many ways. They take such care, it feels a real home from home. She loves the fresh cooked food and equally loves to get involved in making it. We can see from the regular updates that Laura and Fab provide plenty of opportunity for play inside and out plus lots of learning and the making of friends. We have been lucky to have found Laura and Fab. Our daughter loves going there (even asking to go at the weekend!). Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Very punctual, professional. Comes with a magic bag filled with everything!!! Paint, arts and crafts, stickers, toys you name it she's got it!!
I thought it was very sweet the first time she met my daughter she brought her a present and again on her birthday!! Before she comes she asks what your child likes and interests are and she works around that!
Really couldn't rate her enough she's been absolutely amazing!!
We feel so grateful to have Michelle as our childminder for our daughter Iona.
Before we met with Michelle we met others and had a lot say they were full so concern was setting in, then Michelle scheduled an intro session and as soon as we were in her home, it was relief and we were so pleased.
Michelle managed the settling in sessions in a great way which helped Iona feel safe and familiar, it also worked with my phased return.
Since then, our experience has been great, Michelle’s whole family has welcomed Iona, even the cat, and it’s lovely to know she’s in a caring environment.
Everyday they are doing a variety of activities, they spend a lot of time outside with nature which is really important to us, and when they are at home, Michelle provides rich variety of activities from cooking to seasonal related play.
Michelle offers flexibility which makes my life a lot easier and I am grateful for that.
I know Iona is happy everyday and that at the end of the day is all we wanted.
Thank you so much
Cara and Barbara looked after our three year old son for a few months when we first moved to a new area. It was a real period of change for him and they helped him feel safe, secure and cared for during that time. When he'd attended nursery prior to this, he would cry every single day at drop off. With Cara and Barbara he was happy to arrive and was greeted with cuddles and kindness every day.
They planned lots of activities for him and took him on trips out to parks, museums and play areas. He'd come home daily with his artwork and crafts that he'd made. He absolutely loved his time there. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a warm, safe and stimulating environment for their child.
My child has been with since they were just 7 months old, and I can honestly say she has been an incredible part of our family’s journey. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly get to know my child as an individual—not just their routine, but their personality, likes, dislikes, and what makes them feel safe and happy.
I have complete trust in the care she provides. It’s so reassuring to leave my child each day knowing they’re not only safe, but genuinely cared for by someone who understands them so well.
What means the most to me is how happy my child is there. Every morning they go in with excitement, and at pick-up they’re always full of smiles and stories. They’ve never once been upset to go—just the opposite!
We feel so fortunate to have found such a nurturing, reliable, and experienced childminder. Vicki has created a home-from-home environment where children are truly loved, supported, and able to thrive.
Heidi has been a wonderful childminder to my two young children, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She is professional, experienced, and nurturing. I always had peace of mind knowing my children were happy, safe, loved, and well cared for, while enjoying the wide range of fun and stimulating activities she had planned. It was lovely to see the special bond she formed with them and to watch them develop under her care. I would highly recommend Heidi to anyone.

Kym was childminding my daughter from 1 years old up until she started Reception at primary school. I found Kym to be exceptionally reliable, patient, kind, nurturing and honest. Her home is so warm and inviting but also clean and tidy and child friendly. Her home is also secure with lots of outdoor and indoor play equipment which engaged and stimulated my daughter throughout her day so she always came home happy. My daughter developed wonderful friendships during her time with Kym and now that she is at school, she often says how much she misses going. I feel very lucky to have had Kym as our childminder, I can see why she is so popular. Kym is such a warm person who is kind to the core and I am honoured to continue having her in our lives as someone we now consider as a friend.

Eda is an amazing babysitter / nanny. Eda not only has a lot of professional experience but above all she is also a mother. She totally understands the baby needs, provides what is necessary including cooking meals, rocking the baby to sleep and playing. Eda is very responsible, helpful and respecful. I couldnt recommend Eda more.

I feel so lucky to have Terri caring for my children. She provides a warm, safe, and loving environment where each of them feels happy and valued. Her caring and professional approach gives me complete peace of mind every day. I know that their needs are met whilst the children are in her care. She provides me with updates regularly and goes out of her way to ensure everybody is happy.
Terri is wonderful with all 4 of my children and takes a genuine interest in their wellbeing, development, and happiness. She now feels like part of our family, and I couldn’t imagine anyone else looking after them.
I would highly recommend Terri to any family looking for reliable, kind, and inspiring childcare — she truly is one of a kind.
