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 have a one-year-old daughter and she warmed to Tina immediately. Tina has a calm and relaxed demeanour which rubbed off on our baby, who remained happy and entertained the time she spent with Tina. Tina helped us with encouraging our baby to drink more water, which was an issue at the time, and also brought some of her own books, which she really enjoyed. You can tell very quickly that Tina has had a lot of experience with children and she has a very caring personality. She is also easy to work with, as she is understanding and thoughtful. We would have happily continued with Tina if we were staying in the area.
We are so grateful and fortunate that we found Tara during our search. Tara looked after our elder son with genuine care, patience, and with high attentiveness. My son always felt comfortable and supported.
After a few years, now Tara is also caring for our younger son, and we are seeing the same level of dedication and thoughtful care. Tara always shares photos of my little ones' activities, which brings additional peace especially during work.
We are truly grateful for the role Tara plays in our children’s lives and would highly recommend her care to any family seeking a reliable and compassionate childminder.
We’ve had an excellent experience with Lauren. She is punctual, responsible, and has a natural ability to connect with children. She communicates well, follows routines perfectly, and goes above and beyond to ensure the kids are happy and safe. I would confidently recommend her to any family seeking dependable childcare.

As a first time mum, leaving my baby with someone new in an unknown environment has never made me so anxious! However, this feeling didn't last long as Momtaz sends updates and pictures everyday! I just love clicking on her chat because it now shows a learning journal for my son from when he started Little Explorers to today. It is so beautiful and heartwarming to see him
happy, enjoying the setting and most importantly settled! He is now excited to go to the childminders and is eager to enter the door!!
Momtaz does a range of activities with the children and has recently taken them to the library and local stay and play groups. Being a first time mum and now being back at work part time, it is easy to feel guilty that my son is missing out on these experiences. However, Momtaz ensures that the children get a variety of learning experiences in her care and I really appreciate that. My son has really warmed to Momtaz as she is naturally caring, loving and gentle.
I would highly recommend this childminder for your children.
We really feel that we hit the jackpot with Laura and Fab! Our youngest son was in Laura’s care from just after his 1st birthday until he started school nursery at 3 and a half years. There were so many things to recommend.
We loved the fact our son was taken out and about almost every day and that he got to spend so much time outdoors and in nature. Trips to railways fields and other local nature areas and of course feeding the ducks at the park. He also enjoyed trips to the library and stay and plays as well as time at home doing craft activities, stories or playing in the lovely outside space.
Laura cooks fresh food every day and our son ate really well. The communication is also great and Laura sends lots of videos and photos so you can see what they’re getting up to that day.
Most of all though, Laura and Fab are such genuinely caring people and have a wonderful understanding and empathy for pre-school age children. It really did feel like leaving our son with family.
We’ll always be grateful to Laura and Fab for their nurture and care of our son and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.

We have been with Farhiye since August this year, and as a family of migrants, I can honestly say that for the first time, we feel supported and understood.
Our child is always picked up from nursery and safely driven home. Farhiye makes sure our child is well fed, cared for, and happy. She is extremely professional and always respectful of both the child’s and parents’ boundaries.
Farhiye has never been late, never made a promise she didn’t keep, and always communicates clearly. She is truly exceptional — reliable, educated, and deeply dedicated to her work. We are very grateful to have her in our lives.
It was very important for us to find someone we could trust, who would understand our child’s needs, and Farhiye has exceeded our expectations. She not only takes wonderful care of our child but also teaches and encourages them in the best way.
Whenever we need advice — whether it’s about the English education system or even where to find good clothes for our child — Farhiye is always there to help with the right guidance.
As two working parents without family in the UK, we are so thankful to have found someone so responsible and supportive. We truly feel that our child has gained an extended family with Farhiye and her assistant.
We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and caring person to support their family.
Shabzy looks after my 9 year old daily. She has made my daughter feel welcomed to the point where my daughter feels at home. My daughter is well cared for, looked aftered, fed well. She comes home happy. She learns something new everyday and is excited to tell me about activities that she does whilst there.
Shabzy makes the time pass easily and my daughter enjoys the conversations, and the creative and fun environment provided. She is at ease. She has gained a stronger mindset and character and a-lot more confidence. She is allowed to play, laugh and has acquired new skills whilst being in the care of Shabz.
I waited for Shabz to become registered and I couldn’t be happier with my decision because she is very trustworthy, caring and I’m glad my daughter has the chance to be around such an amazing person. She loves kids and you can tell by the patience and care she shows.
My son has been with Dega for the past two months and she is amazing, he loves her and has never cried when I drop him off. He takes part in engaging activities every day and is always learning new things. She is so kind and supportive, I would recommend her a million times!
Ella has been such a great support for my baby boy. My baby is not easily engaged with new people but Ella has made it so natural to connect with him. I can see her passion from the way she care for my baby. I love how she is teaching him new things and keeping me updated with his progression. It’s not easy to find a trustworthy nanny and I am lucky to have found her.

I can’t speak highly enough of Linda. She has been a blessing to me and my baby. She is always kind, flexible and supportive. She has great varieties of routine skills to stimulate different areas of a baby’s development.
My child joined when she was 7months plus and she always plays with toys with my baby helping with hand and eye connections. Also, as my baby begins to show interest in wanting to walk, Linda always teaches and guides her.
At the early stage my baby cried a lot and Linda is very good at comforting my baby even if it means carrying my baby on her back ( African way as my baby usually enjoys it).
My baby is now settled is always happy, calm and well cared for in her home. She creates a warm and nurturing environment with lots of play, learning and love.
What stands Linda out the most is her flexibility and Understanding- she always accommodates our schedule and makes things so easier for us as parents
I’m genuinely grateful for all she’s done for our family as she has been a blessing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and professional childminder
Our son was with Dessy for 2 years from the age of 2-4 until he left to start school. He really enjoyed his time at the setting and he was very sad to leave, he made some great friends and we gained a strong bond with Dessy and the other parents.
We would highly recommend Dessy (including her colleague Chloe & Anna) as they have set up a great environment at Dessy’s house for the children. She has a lovely spacious garden with an amazing outdoor kitchen for them to use along with other fun apparatus and the main learning area inside is full of toys, books and learning information for the children to use and play with. We preferred a childminder over nursery as they would regularly take them out on adventures with visits to the Zoo, playgrounds, into the forest, local playgroups, water parks in the summer and much more which really suited our son as he has lots of energy where as nursery he was just in the same room!
She has been instrumental in the development of our son, from helping with his language, numbers and letters which has prepared him well for school, she also assisted with his toilet training and improved his social skills.
Dessy is very kind, caring and generous, she really looks after the children and makes them feel part of her family as she did with the parents. She would organise gatherings so we could all come together such as Christmas parties and drinks in the summer, she also organised a lovely graduation before our son left for school.
My child has been going to Tara since she was 18 months old and even though she is now 6, at school, she still wants to go to Tara's during the school holidays. Zaynah asks "when will I be going to Tara's". Zaynah loves Tara and her company. Tara is kind, caring, flexible, professional and provides a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment. Both myself and Zaynah would highly recommend Tara.
My little boy has been with Chloe since she first opened in September 2024 and it was the best decision I made! After being let down by another childminder and not loving any nurseries, I visited Chloe in her lovely home and immediately knew it was the right choice.
She sends me daily updates about what he is getting up to, with so many creative and fun activities, outdoor play, football, dress up, reading duck walks and trips out and about. The list is endless!
My little one walks in happily and leaves even happier, he has come on leaps and bounds since being with Chloe, Ryan and their amazing family!
We have one year left with them and I dread the day it comes and we say goodbye.
Amelia is brilliant with our two sons, 7 and 4. She engages them in fun activities and brings crafts with her after asking them what they like.
We hadn't trusted anyone outside the family but Amelia made the decision to invite her into our home very easy!
We would recommend her to anyone!
Im Not used to leaving my 3 children who have additional needs with anyone other then their nursery staff or school so using other services was understandably going to be a nervous experience for us all, however Michelle was friendly and professional, my kids took to her really well and was happy for us to leave them with her which put my mind at ease.
Her prices are fair
We wouldn't hesitate to use her again..
Laura and Fab are so brilliant and what they do. They have become like extended family members and we still keep in touch after years of them watching our 2 little ones since they were each 1 years old until about school age. They are so loving and caring, treating the children like their own, providing a safe and fun environment, giving healthy food and snacks and teaching the children respect and other values. We honestly recommend them to anyone!
Dylan was an absolutely fantastic nanny for our son, caring for him from 16 months until he turned 3 and started nursery. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her.
From the start, Dylan's caring and flexible nature was evident, making our son's transition to a full-time schedule (30 hours/week) seamless. She possesses a remarkable ability to acknowledge, calm, and redirect his feelings with patience and warmth. Her approach is consistently patient, caring, fun, and engaging.
Beyond providing exceptional care, Dylan actively focused on his development and experience. She ensured he had daily outdoor play and trips to places like museums and art galleries, soft play and Bookbug sessions. She also consistently encouraged him to step outside his comfort zone (e.g., dressing himself, interacting with other kids) with positive reinforcement and gentle reassurance.
Dylan also went above and beyond with light household tasks related to our son, including preparing his breakfast, doing his laundry, and cleaning up his toys.
We wholeheartedly recommend Dylan. Any family would be lucky to have her.
