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.
Emma has looked after our youngest son for the past year and a half, and he’s now a happy, confident two-year-old who has built such a lovely bond with her.
She also cared for our older son when he was one, so choosing her again was a no-brainer for us as a family. Emma is flexible, professional and friendly, and her home is welcoming and full of opportunities to learn and play. The children are always kept busy with varied activities and encouraged to try new things.
We’ve had such a positive experience with both boys and would highly recommend Emma to any family looking for a caring, reliable childminder.

I don't think there are enough stars to give Jackie!
My daughter (I) had been with Jackie since she was 11months old she's now 2 and half. She loves going to Jackie's, we never want to give Jackie up, even though my daughter has started another setting I still keep her 2 days a week with Jackie because she loves it there so much and Jackie gives each child the support they need, they're always engaged whether that's doing learning, crafts, playing spending time in the garden and doing treasure hunts. My daughter is excited to to go there, she's made lovely friends and come on leaps and bounds, if I could go back to the beginning and find Jackie sooner I would have done so for my older son!
Jackie has been super supportive to us as a family when going through some difficult health issues with our child and has had my daughter for longer or changed days so we could attend hospital appointments.
We get WhatsApp photos every day which is a great comfort to see what your little one is up to and Jackie is always quick to respond or let you know about anything.
Jackie's costings are really reasonable considering the service she offers, so nab a space whilst you can, you won't regret it!
We cannot recommend Kinga highly enough! She is absolutely outstanding and has been such a wonderful, caring and positive influence on our child. From day one, she has made us feel completely at ease, knowing our daughter is safe, happy and so well looked after.
She goes above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing and fun environment, always coming up with lovely activities, outings in the local area and opportunities for learning and development. Her patience, kindness, dedication and genuine love for what she does shine through every single day. She meets with other childminders to provide larger group experiences and build on the children’s social skills.
The communication is fantastic, and we always feel reassured and included in our child's day. It is clear how much time, effort and thought she puts into everything she does.
Finding someone you can trust with is priceless, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Thank you for everything you do. We honestly couldn't ask for a better childminder and would recommend her to any family without hesitation! ❤️
Martina has been helping my family look after our 3 year old daughter for over six months. She is reliable, patient, full of character and personable. She has been so helpful taking and picking our daughter from nursery and caring for her after hours - she's became an invaluable part of our support network here in London.
Lisa has cared for our little one for the last 2 years - and they have had such a wonderful time with her.
Lisa creates such a wonderful environment of learning and play complete with wonderful home cooked meals and hand crafted projects, which our little one always comes home with full of pride! Not to mention the amazing garden! It has truly been a home away from home.
Our next phase of nursery now looming, but will definitely be requesting the babysitting services!!
Thank you so much Lisa xxx
Paula provided support for my family as a night doula the first month after my kid was born. She was very thoughtful and helped us navigating the newborn phase. We really appreciated her help, and can recommend!
I can genuinely say that Kinga is an exceptional childminder, and the care she provides is second to none. My youngest daughter was in her full-time care for over two years, and she still attends during the school holidays alongside her 10-year-old big sister. Going to Kinga’s is the absolute highlight of their year, and they both constantly count down the days until their next visit.
Kinga is incredibly skilled at catering activities to all ages, ensuring that both my younger and older daughter are equally engaged and happy. With a wonderful focus on being outdoors, every single day features a brilliantly thought-out activity, whether it's a trip to the farm, the zoo, music groups, or local parks.
Under Kinga’s care, my youngest has absolutely thrived, particularly in her independence, and I completely credit her wonderful development to her time spent at Little Seedlings. Kinga is so much more than just a ‘childminder’ to us. I always receive detailed daily updates, and my daughters have never shed a single tear when being dropped off—it truly is a home away from home.
Kinga is flexible, reliable, and a complete natural with children. I have never once had a single doubt about her devotion to the children in her care. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend her.
Georgie provides the very best care, and home from home environment. Georgie looked after our eldest daughter and I would not have gone anywhere else for our youngest. She loves going to Georgies house and has come on leaps and bounds since being with her. It really does feel like we are dropping her to her second home. Could not recommend Georgie enough she is fantastic.
Emma looked after my son for just over two years; from 23 months old to when he was 4 years, and he only left because he started school.
He thoroughly enjoyed being at Emma’s and now that he’s left, he often mentions that he misses it and the other children in her care.
There are weekly playgroups that he attended while with Emma and he always looked forward to going.
I never had any doubts with leaving my son with Emma. If there were any problems or he was upset, she would always message me to provide me with an update. Would definitely recommend Emma as a childcare provider to anyone looking for a childminder.
I am so satisfied with the childcare from Sandy! My son is always happy to go and spend the day at the setting. Sandy will always keep me updated if she has any concerns with my son and occasionally will share activities the children are taking part in throughout the day. I am comfortable that my son is safe and happy throughout the day.

Emmy is the most incredible nanny. We have three children between the ages of 4 and 10 and have had Emmy on an ad hoc basis for almost a year. Our children love her and she always goes above and beyond just childcare making sure she reads with them and plays with them whilst somehow managing to leave my house tidier than she found it! We have had Emmy to babysit in the evenings and she always asks for a job to do when the children have gone to bed. For me it is normally several baskets of ironing and it amazes me that Emmy always has them finished by the time I get home. I wish I had known about Emmy when my children were babies as I imagine she is the most incredible doula.
Lisa provides a safe and warm home environment and has looked after our toddler for 3 days a week for the past 18 months. Lisa takes the toddlers and babies to playgroup every day to socialise, or when they are closed, to the local parks for a run around/picnics. She provides healthy varied meals. We wish her all the best as we move onto a nursery setting!
I honestly cannot recommend Kemi enough! She is simply the best, and I feel so fortunate to have found her.
Kemi doesn’t just look after my 2.5-year-old son; she genuinely invests in his learning and development. Since he started attending her nursery, I have seen such a wonderful improvement in his speech, numbers and phonics. It’s amazing to see how much he is learning and growing under her care.
What makes Kemi so special is that she goes above and beyond simply providing childcare. She creates a loving, nurturing and educational environment where children can truly thrive.
Knowing that my son is not only well cared for but also learning something new every day gives me so much peace of mind.
I couldn’t ask for a better childminder. Thank you, Kemi, for all the love, care and dedication you put into what you do. You are truly exceptional, and I would recommend you to any parent without hesitation! ❤️
Kinga has looked after all three of my children (boys) from 10 months of age until they were in reception. Her setting is like home from home, and the activities she arranges for the children are exception. She takes the children out exploring and offers a calm and friendly setting! Our children loved being with her and she remains in our children’s lives even after they have left her! She will be a friend to us always, and we would recommend her in a heartbeat! 💓

Hazel cared for our son for three years, from when he was 12 months old until his fourth birthday. From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. Hazel creates a true home-from-home environment and genuinely loves and cares for the children she looks after. Our son would mention Hazel in the same conversations as his grandparents, which shows just how much he saw her as an extension of our family.Hazel provides a wonderful setting, with plenty of toys, educational activities, and a large, lovely garden. She also regularly organised outings and trips, which our son would always come home excitedly telling us about. She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, which was incredibly helpful for our family, and she consistently provided nutritious meals that our son thoroughly enjoyed.Hazel's wealth of experience was invaluable to us. She supported us through potty training and was also the first person to notice that our son may have a hearing issue, something we had not recognised ourselves. Following her recommendation, he was tested and diagnosed with glue ear, which could easily have gone unnoticed for much longer otherwise.It is clear that Hazel genuinely loves what she does, and that passion shines through in the care she provides every day. We couldn't have asked for a better childminder and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and highly experienced childcare professional.
We have reason to suspect some suspicious activities by this member.
After initiating the contact herself, we thought Laura was seriously seeking nannying work. We made the necessary arrangement and set a suitable time to talk to her over the phone/ WhatsApp which she confirmed was convenient for her. She failed to answer at the agreed time and didn't give any excuse or explanation afterwards. We don't know why she behaved in that way deliberately wasting our time and effort in search for a suitable nanny for our child.
We honestly couldn’t ask for a better team and setting to look after our daughter. From the moment you walk in, the setting is so welcoming, warm and full of love and happiness. It’s lovely knowing she gets to spend her days somewhere she feels so happy and settled.
Clair, Nicky, Ethan and Maria really do go above and beyond to make sure our daughter has the most amazing experiences, creating special memories and giving her opportunities to try new things. Whether it’s taking her swimming, planning exciting activities, creating crafts or simply making sure she has the most amazing food, everything is thought about and nothing is ever too much.
It’s such a comforting feeling knowing that when we’re not with our little girl, she is being so loved, cared for and looked after. We can see how happy she is through the communication we have daily and that means absolutely everything to us!
We are so grateful for everything you do for our baby. Thank you for making her days so special and for treating her with so much love. We honestly couldn’t recommend you enough! 🫶
