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.
Sonata has been looking after my 14 month old since she turned 1 in November. I cannot praise Sonata enough. My daughter is so excited at drop off she doesn’t look back. We’ve never had her crying, upset and not wanting to go. The updates on the baby days app are a great feature to the setting updating us throughout the day with feeding, Sleep times, nappy changes and the lovely update of photos. I am so so happy we decided to use Sonata and Happy Hearts Home it’s lovely to see all the children happy in the setting and excited to go. I love the weekly newsletter too which tells parents what they’re getting up to the following week, the book they are focusing on and also a menu of the food they’ll be having. It’s great. We’re just at the beginning of our journey but I already know my baby will be here in years to come. Thank you Sonata for caring so well for my baby. As a mum we always worry about leaving them in childcare I can honestly say I don’t have any worries leaving her here. Xxx
Sara and Kev have been absolutely wonderful with our child, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better people to support her in her early years. From day one, they’ve shown so much care, patience, and genuine warmth, not just towards our child, but towards us as a family too.
They’ve created such a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where our child feels happy, confident, and excited to go each day. It’s clear how much time and thought they put into understanding each child as an individual. Our child has been encouraged to explore, learn, and grow at her own pace, and we’ve seen such a lovely boost in her confidence, independence, and social skills as a result.
Communication has always been excellent, we’re kept informed, reassured, and included, and it’s obvious how deeply they care about the children’s wellbeing. The kindness, consistency, and enthusiasm Sara and Kev bring every day really shines through, and it gives us complete peace of mind knowing our child is in such safe and loving hands.
We’re incredibly grateful for everything they do and feel very lucky to have had them play such an important part in our child’s early development. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Finding the right childcare is such a significant decision, but Sara and Kev made it an easy one for us. They are incredibly warm, kind, and welcoming people - exactly the sort of family you want in your child’s life. Our daughter settled into their care almost instantly, feeling at home from the very start.
What sets them apart from most is their experience and background in education. They are highly tuned into each child’s 'next steps,' ensuring they are effectively prepared for the future while still getting the most enjoyment from their childhood. Their setting is filled with both high-quality resources and loving, handmade items that not only nurture a genuine love of play but are also thoughtfully educational.
We are also so impressed by their energy; the children go on almost daily outings and adventures, ensuring every day is full of discovery. We feel so lucky to have found such a nurturing, professional, and stimulating environment for our daughter!
We have tried a few different childcare options with our children over the years but nothing comes close to the experience we have had with Kate in her home and at the Hut.
Her setting, staff and herself are amazing, welcoming, kind, caring. I can say that my daughter loves coming to see Kate and the team, and from a development perspective she is much more confident than my other children at this age!
She goes above and beyond.

We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder for our daughter. She is caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children she looks after. From day one, she made us feel confident and at ease, and our daughter settled in so well under her care. She provides a safe and nurturing environment and always takes the time to support our daughter’s learning.Communication is great, and we are always kept informed about our child’s day.
Sadly we had to move far way . we will always be very grateful for the love and attention she gave our daughter and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for reliable, high-quality childcare.
Tas is amazing, and has helped our toddler settle in so well. The setting is very much a warm, friendly, cosy home from home, and exactly what we were hoping for. Tas does activities with the children and our toddler is always bringing home pictures that she has drawn with Tas that day.
Kathryn has been everything we could possibly ask for when thinking of someone suitable to look after our son. She has been our childminder for over a year for our now almost three year old, and she truly feels like another mummy to Ray. Kathryn has the most wonderful temperament and is so warm, friendly and kind. She gives Ray so much love and affection, and he feels completely safe and relaxed in her care. We trust her implicitly, and that’s all you could ever want in a childminder.
They are always out and about in the local area, visiting different playgroups, National Trust sites and going on walks, and they also love getting crafty at home. Kathryn has a loving home and a wonderful family, who Ray has also grown very fond of.
At pick-up, Kathryn always gives honest and clear feedback, letting me know what they’ve been up to, what Ray has eaten, nap times, nappy changes, anything to note etc.
Kathryn is incredibly reliable and always communicates well in advance about any changes or holiday dates and is also super flexible when I need her to be.
Ray often tells us that he misses 'my Kathryn', and we reassure him that he’ll see her tomorrow. We feel so lucky to have found Kathryn and honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a caring, loving and playful mother figure / best friend.

I’m really happy with the care my children have received since starting here. Skye herself is kind, patient, and genuinely caring, which has made such a difference in how quickly my children settled. They are so happy and comfortable that they literally clock-watch in the mornings, excited to leave and start their day. The environment is warm, safe, and engaging, and communication has been excellent. I feel very reassured and would highly recommend her to other parents.

Alix is absolutely incredible with my 2 children. She has Bradley 4 days a week all day and she blows me away every day with the variety of activities, snacks and outings that she offers. My daughter goes to Alix before and after school and has grown a lovely relationship with Alix, her husband and daughter. Both my children love her and her family and are always so excited to go.
Alix has become more than just a ‘childminder’ she’s become a friend.
We couldn’t ask for anyone better to keep our children safe, cared for and happy.
We get regular updates throughout the day with pictures of what our children are up to, what they’ve eaten and toileting.
Thankyou Alix, your amazing

My little girl has just turned 2 and has been with Liz since she was 9 months old. I can honestly say Liz is the most incredible childminder who shows such a deep care words the children she minds. My daughter LOVES going to Liz and being in a surrounding that’s homely, friendly, clean, fun and all around amazing. She runs to the door every morning, goes inside and shuts the door on me because she is so excited for her day ahead. Liz also logs everything on Tapestry so I can see what she has been up to with her days and what she eats etc. Liz also takes time each morning/pick up to talk to parents and to make that effort with us also is warming. I honestly couldn’t recommend a better childminder and feel like Liz is now apart of the family.
Jo is an outstanding childminder. She has looked after our 2 year old at short notice with so much care and thoughtfulness. Jo consistently went above and beyond from the very beginning to make our son feel at home, happy and safe with her at her home. Jo also made us feel very confident that our son was being well looked after and supporting his development. Jo was an excellent communicator with ourselves about how our son was doing on a daily basis and quick to let us know if there were any issues or concerns. Jo puts in an incredible amount of effort into activities for the children to make it personal and engaging for them. It is clear at the end of the day how much son our son has enjoyed his time with Jo. He is always smiling at the end of the day and is talking about her on his way home. We are so grateful that we were lucky enough to have Jo care for our son at such short notice when we were in need of childcare.
I was so apprehensive about putting my son into childcare, but since starting at Park Farm Kids, he has absolutely loved it. He settled in almost instantly, which was such a reassurance. My son has come on so much, especially with his talking and manners, and it’s amazing to see the progress he’s made. It’s a happy, clean environment, and they do so many lovely activities with him — he always comes home with creations he’s made, which I love. The daily updates are such a reassurance and really make me feel involved in his day. I’m so happy I found Park Farm Kids — I feel completely comfortable and confident leaving my son with them.
I decided on a childminder for my daughter and I am so glad I came across Lauren. From the very first session my daughter settled straight away which has been an absolute weight lifted from my shoulders as she usually doesn’t take well to new people. Her welcoming presence and the calming nature she shows to the children is so lovely and you can tell how much she loves and takes pride in her job. She home cooks all of the meals and the snacks are always healthy and nutritious and the home is always lovely and clean. I love seeing my little girls face smiley and full of joy when she is with Lauren. Thank you so so much for the care you provide I couldn’t have chose a better person to look after my child.
I honestly couldn’t ask for a better childminder for my children. From day one, she has gone above and beyond to make them feel safe, loved, and completely at home. She treats them with so much care, patience, and kindness, and it really shows in how happy and settled they are with her.
She provides a warm, nurturing environment where the children are encouraged to learn, play, and grow, while also feeling secure and supported. Her routines, activities, and attention to each child’s individual needs are amazing, and I always have total peace of mind knowing my children are in the best hands.
Not only is she incredibly reliable and professional, but she genuinely cares about the children as if they were her own. I feel so lucky to have someone I trust completely looking after my children, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to any parent looking for exceptional childcare.
From our very first meeting, I felt reassured about choosing Annalisa as my daughter’s childminder. My daughter was immediately happy to see her, which was a huge relief — especially after our previous experience where my daughter cried every day and didn’t want to attend.
Annalisa creates a warm, caring, and positive environment. She takes the children out regularly, encourages learning, and provides daily updates about their progress. We can truly see how much effort she puts into helping the children learn and grow.
She teaches important life skills such as changing clothes, following a regular timetable, and developing good daily habits — like taking off shoes, hanging coats properly, and keeping things in their place. My daughter has also learned good manners, improved her language, and speaks more politely and gently.
Annalisa also focuses on social skills, teaching the children how to share, play together, and be kind to one another. She plays with them, keeps them engaged, and sends lovely photos that capture special and memorable moments.
Most importantly, Annalisa cares for my daughter as if she were her own child. I feel confident, grateful, and happy knowing my daughter is in such loving and capable hands. I highly recommend her.
This was my first time ever using childminding service but I needed chilcare for returning to work after maternity leave. I didn't know what to expect, but Charlotte has been amazing with easing both me and my son into this. She has been caring for him for 4 months now and she has been amazing, he loves coming to Charlotte's which is lovely. Its great to see his development coming along and updates on how he's doing on the tapestry app. I would highly recommend Charlotte to any other parent's for childcare of their child.
