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.
I can not recommend Laura (Laulau) enough. From the moment my eldest was in her care, I felt so relieved to have her in our lives. Even at our introduction meeting my boy felt comfortable enough to snuggle and fall asleep with her (he was 10m old at that point). Laura’s setting feels like a home away from home, but with all the educational support of an early years setting. Laura helped overcome key milestones in the journey, including speech and potty training, and helped embed my ideal family values, such as manners and kindness. When school started, Laura was there for us for drop offs and pick ups. We would have been lost without her.
Even though our chapter with Laura came to an end. Our families regularly keep in touch and when my boy sees her in the playground, he still runs for a hug and tells me how much he misses her. Xx
We are pleased to recommend Diana, who cared for son between April-September 2025 (aged 8-13months old). Diana is kind, dependable, highly competent and wonderful with our son — creating a safe and engaging environment. She is trustworthy, professional and punctual.
As first-time parents we valued her experience and insights, which were always delivered sensitively and respectfully. Her warm and good-humoured disposition made it very easy to welcome her into our home. She was better at napping our son than we are(!), is tidy and is also a great cook - our son enjoyed the meals she prepared. We would not hesitate to use Diana again if possible

Jen is a lovely childminder who I used for nearly 18 months before we moved out of the area. She was really good with my little boy and really understanding when he has seperation anxiety at drop offs...when I used to pick him up he wanted to sray with Jen he loved it that much! My little boy came along so much being at Jen's and I thank her so much along with her daughter Abi for all they did x
My daughter recently started in September and has come on leaps and bounds lola & sally are great they give regular updates throughout the day and a really good handover. Aylah loves going to see lola and sally . Its so nice that she has formed a great bond with them I would highly recommend.
Laura and Fab provide a fantastically wholesome, caring and fun environment for children to grow and develop. They prepare home-cooked food, creative arts and craft activities, the opportunity for dancing, learning, reading and outdoor activities. There is never a dull moment! We couldn’t wish for a better setting for our daughter and highly recommend to anyone looking for childcare.
Rashmi truly was the best decision we made for our little girl, she was with Rashmi for just over 8 months and she truly treated her like her own. My child was so excited to go to Rashmi's on her childminder days and has learnt so much educationally and personality wise - Rashmi has truly nurtured her and she has become this wonderful little tiny person. Rashmi has been and always will be like family to us now, she looks after the kids in her care like her own and I did not have to worry about my little girl once, we were updated on her constantly throughout the day - messages and photos. Thank you Rashmi for shaping our little girls crucial months - she still thinks of you and says yours and your families names! She misses you and we do too - thank you again for everything you have done for us and for her.
Mandy is absolutely perfect childcare for my daughter, I have complete peace of mind knowing my daughter is very well looked after. My daughter loves going to Mandy’s, interacting with the other children there, it like a family away from home. Mandy has helped so much with additional support for my daughter’s development, her contribution is priceless. Would definitely highly recommend Mandy having peace of mind knowing my child is in a caring nurturing safe environment is so important .

Lola looks after my 2 children along side her mum Sally. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Lola goes above and beyond everyday, she brings an educational, creative and fun experience. My children always speak about them both constantly, both Luca and Luccia are always happy and safe when here. I know they are loved and well looked after. She plays a massive role in my children’s happiness and progression and I couldn’t be more grateful. I am at ease and stress free because of Lola and Sally. Trust them both with my life and they are my babies extended family without a doubt. We are lucky to have them both.
I can’t even put into words how much I recommend Sally as a childminder. I am a mum that forever has guilt about leaving my babies and I will only trust them with a handful of people. Sally easily being one of the top. Both my son and daughter attend Sally’s 3 times a week, ensuring I could go back to work stress free. I never have to worry about anything when my babies are there. She communicates everything with me, sends me photos of them on their days/trips out which is a regular thing for Sally. She is always offering different activities for them which are both educational but above all fun. Before my son attended Sally’s he was completely non verbal and very behind for his age, since being with Sally he has come on leaps and bounds, his speech has never been better and is now out of nappies, I can’t thank Sally enough for the massive part she has played in my sons progression. Her home from home environment offers a warm caring feel, and I am always felt at ease. My children constantly speak about Sally even during holidays or days off, which speaks for itself. My only downside to Sally is that my children can’t stay with her forever.
Me and my girls love Amy. She is so positive and energetic and really has helped me out when I've been very tired looking after the twins. The girls love seeing her and she looks after them perfectly from playing, getting them to sleep, to feeding them and getting them out for a play. Amy had also done overnights for us which was a godsend and impressive given it was twins. My only complaint is we can't have her everyday!

Samia is officially part of the Family! She is Kind, Caring, Warm, Insightful, Wise, and honestly the most amazing human being. Our daughter joined Samia at 5 months old which was very scary, not only did Samia reassure us from the start, but our daughter has shown so much progress with Samia over the last 5 months it's incredible. She smiles when we get to the door and doesn't even look back now! I've witnessed other children join and become happier every time I see them too. Samia has a routine with them, they have lots of outdoor and indoor activities, they get fed so well and come home the happiest baby in the world. We visited many Childminders in the area and we without a doubt made the best choice, no one can compete with Samia. She is so lovely and understanding too, and really cares about our daughter and our whole family too. We get picture updates which are priceless during work days, and we are already dreading the day our daughter and baby boy to come have to leave Samia to go to school. We could not recommend Samia more, she is incredible! Your baby/little one is in the safest of hands. Plus for any new parents like us, Samia gives invaluable tips and advice to put us at ease, not just in childcare but at home too. We love Samia so much ❤️

Renu is brilliant childminder.Not only she was providing excellent care in a warm, clean environment to our son but she also was supportive and looked after us (parents) when going through health issues . We appreciated the home-cooked meals, engaging activities, and flexible approach. My so settled quickly and bonded strongly with Renu. She has been a blessing and God sent to us.
We found Laura and Fab by luck when looking for a childminder for our oldest daughter, who is now 6. Her two brothers (4 and 1) have followed her there for their years of childcare before school nursery. We have been so happy to have found them, they really love the kids they look after, it feels like a very Italian family experience. The kids are out and about every day in playgroups and the park/mud kitchens and all sit down to eat together. It's flexible and personal and everything we hoped for in childcare.

Laura looked after our son from 7 months to four years old. We couldn’t recommend her child care highly enough. Our son absolutely loved his time with her and was looked after with the highest level of care. Laura has a brilliant understanding of young children and provides them with a wonderful home like environment for them to play, learn and socialise with other children. Laura was brilliant at communicating with us about how are son was throughout his time with her providing us with many pictures and updates. Highly recommended!
We felt incredibly lucky to have found Laura!
Both of my children stayed with her, and from day one, they were welcomed with warmth and genuine affection (My kids still ask to go and visit her). Her home is a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where my kids not only felt secure but truly thrived. I was totally at peace and relaxed when leaving them with her as I knew they were in safe hands.
Every day was filled typically in the morning with adventures outdoor (wheather permitting) either to the Railway Fields or to Finsbury park and the afternoon with some creative activities, dancing, reading or simply playing with the other kids.
Not to forget the food... she cooks it from scratch and both my kids loved it! She kept us updated with videos and by chatting at the end of the day, which really helped, especially at the beginning.
We’re so grateful for the love and care she gave our children! I wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a childminder who goes above and beyond.
My son was 2 when he started going to Laura and Fab and I couldn't be more happy of my choice! Laura and Fab are now looking after my twin daughters (they started going at 10 month old) and it is amazing to see them grow in such a loving environment. They go to the park, to playgroup or would have art and craft activities at home. They are never bored!
I could never thank Laura and Fab enough for taking so good care of my kids ❤️

Laura and Fab looked after my little boy from 1 year until he started school and I could not have asked for a friendlier, more caring setup. She looked after him like he was her own and I always felt confident he was happy and safe. Laura didn’t have a sick day in the whole time I was with her and was always available for last min childcare emergencies. Highly recommend!
