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 highly recommend Laura’s Little Lovelies. Laura’s setting truly feels like a home from home and is full of enrichment, learning, and fun activities for the children. Laura and Steph are incredibly nurturing and they genuinely care about each child as an individual, which really shows in how happy and settled the children are.
When our son first joined, he had very limited communication skills, and I was so worried about how he would cope. Laura and Steph made sure all of his needs were met, constantly reassured us, and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind.
Since being there, his speech and language skills have improved massively, and Laura supported him every step of the way.
I’m so glad we chose Laura’s Little Lovelies and couldn’t recommend them enough.
Catriona created a warm and safe place when she took on the role of childminder for my two neurodivergent sons last summer.
She gave them space to take to her, and took them to the park often, and also did arty and crafting activities with them.
I would use her again in a heartbeat and my boys loved her.

Huma started caring for our daughter when she was around 15 months old, and from our very first meeting we knew she was special. Our daughter was very clingy at the time, yet Huma instantly put her at ease through gentle play and warmth, which gave us immediate confidence.
Our daughter has additional medical needs that require careful monitoring. Huma approached this with complete calm and professionalism, welcomed guidance from healthcare professionals, and keeps us updated every day. As a parent, the peace of mind this has given us — especially when returning to work — has been invaluable.
Now at 2 years and 8 months old, our daughter is thriving. She is genuinely happy to go each morning and comes home content and settled. Huma provides a loving, nurturing environment with nutritious home-cooked meals, regular updates with photos and videos, outings, birthday celebrations, and a truly inclusive approach that celebrates all cultures and festivals.
What sets Huma apart is how deeply she cares. She goes above and beyond for both the children and their families, and has truly become like extended family to us — something that means so much as we don’t have family nearby. Her assistant is also wonderful: kind, friendly, and clearly loved by the children.
Choosing Huma has been one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her in our lives.
Teresa is looking after my son after school and I’m really pleased with her service.
Also my child is very happy which is most important. She is entertaining kids with different activities, helping with homework’s reading and general doing great job with whole heart.Im receiving pictures on daily basis what activities he does each day .Also preparing food together with kids etc.
I had experience with different childminders in the past and honestly Teresa is one of the best.
Outstanding
Danielle has been amazing with our little girl. Ever since she has started she has come on leaps and bounds. It seems like she learns something new everything and we have Danielle to thank for that. From the moment we met I knew our little girl was going to be in great, safe hands and she settled in so quickly. I can't recommend her enough!

Early birds is a phenomenal Nursery. Having raised our little boy at home 8 months before sending him to nursery, it can be very daunting after a thorough search for nurseries to find somewhere comfortable to send him, my wife was very keen on him going here and I understand why. Zeb & Beri put their heart and soul into the nurturing of the young children and you can see it from the very get go! The daily photos and report logs are amazing not to mention the activities and healthy meals and I see the impact it all has on my child and his development and confidence when i'm with him at home! I highly recommend. 5/5!
My son was in Wendy and Alice’s care from 10 months old until he was two and a half. As a first time mum, I was naturally very anxious about putting him into a childcare setting, but Wendy quickly put my mind at ease.
My son absolutely loved being with Wendy. They are genuinely lovely people, and I always felt that Wendy truly cared about my son as an individual. He absolutely thrived while he was in her care. He always came home happy, and when I dropped him off he would run straight in without looking back, excited to see her. I think that speaks volumes.
As a first time mum who probably overthought everything, nothing was ever too much trouble for Wendy. She was always kind, patient and reassuring, and we will always be incredibly grateful for the love and care she showed our son.
My son has now been at preschool for a year, and he still often asks about Wendy and when he can go back to see her. That alone says everything. Wendy is more than just a childminder. She has been a huge part of my son’s early childhood, and we will definitely be keeping in touch.

While we have only just started using Lauren and have only had a few settling-in sessions so far, we have been so impressed with just how welcoming she has made her home and the relationship she has already built with our little one.
Lauren has an excellent array of resources and toys to keep him entertained. This also includes her own creative ‘messy’ play ideas our son has enjoyed so much. On top of this, he has also enjoyed outdoor activities in her garden and already a few little excursions after just a couple of weeks.
The most important aspect, of course, is just that kindness and warmth towards our son, which has made him settle in so much quicker than expected. Already, it is a place he is very happy in and excited to go to every week. What more could you ask for?
Leaving your two year old with someone is never easy, but actually we can’t believe just how quickly he has acclimatised and settled and now we have that all-important piece of mind going forward.
Thanks for a fantastic start!

I’m very happy with the care my baby son receives from this childminder. She is kind, patient, loving and always makes him feel safe and happy. Her home is clean, calm and welcoming, and she treats every child like her own.
My son has developed so well in her care and I have complete peace of mind leaving him with her. I truly feel blessed to have found such a wonderful, trustworthy and professional childminder. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for high-quality childcare.
We are thrilled we chose Lauren as our childminder for our youngest son.
Lauren goes above and beyond to organise fantastic activities, outings and experiences for the children.
The space Lauren works in is brilliant, spacious and versatile for the children with lots of different spaces for different types of play and weather.
She is a caring, kind, professional childminder with a wealth of knowledge in the childcare and education sector.
I highly recommend Ren’s Rainbows.
My son and daughter love going to Tracy's. They attened before and after school and in the school holidays. Tracy always has fun days out planned in the holiday which they cant wait to tell me about and I also get to see lots of photos of them having fun. Tracy is friendly, professional, trustworthy and reliable. I would highly recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a childminder.
Lauren is an absolute superstar. She’s been so accommodating to my family’s needs and has been amazing at communicating between myself and my daughter’s dad. Her provision is always sensory forward and my daughter loves the toys she has available too. Would highly recommend!
I could not recommend Laura any more highly. Our two boys were both with her over a number of years and thrived under her care. I was always astounded at how much time and attention Laura and Steph gave to every child in their care, they both really saw and looked after each of our (very different!) boys as individuals. Laura’s communication is excellent, the environment is incredibly safe and enriching with lots of opportunities to get out and about and both boys loved every minute they spent with Laura and Steph over the years. One thing in particular worth noting: both our boys had allergies and/or intolerances and Laura was absolutely brilliant at coordinating with us about things they could and couldn’t have, and always making sure they weren’t left out of things.
Tracy has been caring for my son since he was 6 months old (he's 10 this year), from full days, to school runs and beyond! She is a genuinely caring lady who wants the best for all the children under her care.
Tracy helped with my sons diagnosis for ASD and her knowledge helped us massively. My son loves going to Tracy's house and I can only thank her for all the years of amazing care she's provided.
Emily is wonderful. My son has complex needs and can be aggressive with his PDA. There are not many people who can understand him and know how to handle it. Emily has such a calm, loving, accepting nature. We all instantly took to her including my son. I am very sad I am unable to take her on due to the unusual hours I am after.

we are so grateful for the care our child has received. jodie is kind, reliable, and incredibly nurturing, and our child has thrived in her care. Communication is always great, and we feel completely at ease knowing our child is happy and well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other families.
Tracy has been my son's childminder for nearly 10 years and has been a rock in his life throughout. She is knowledgeable and caring in all her duties, and goes above and beyond to ensure he has the best possible care.
During this time, my son was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, creating new challenges for him as he learnt to navigate his diagnosis. Tracy has been extremely supportive, giving attention where required and adapting to aide him in his growth through this journey.
She is an all-round fantastic professional who I have always trusted with the care of my son.
We cannot recommend Sherife and her team highly enough. After our son struggled to settle at nursery, we were so relieved to find such a warm, nurturing, and supportive environment. From the very beginning, they made him feel completely comfortable, safe, and truly cared for.
The progress he made while in their care has been incredible. His English improved significantly, his confidence grew day by day, and he began eating a much wider variety of foods than ever before. Most importantly, he became a happy, secure, and confident child who is now fully ready to start big school.
Leaving was genuinely heartbreaking — we were devastated to say goodbye. The care, patience, and dedication shown to our son made such a lasting impact on his development and happiness. We will always be incredibly grateful for everything they have done for him and would recommend them without hesitation to any parent looking for exceptional childcare.
