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 were very fortunate to have Gully with our family for almost a year. She cared for our baby from 9 months, and she was a wonderful support during that important stage.
One of the things we appreciated most was her excellent timekeeping and punctuality. She was always reliable and rarely took holidays, which gave us great peace of mind as working parents.
She took very good care of our baby — feeding him properly, taking him out for walks, and ensuring he followed his nap routine and slept well. She was attentive, patient, and responsible in his daily care.
We are grateful for the time she spent with our family and would happily recommend her to others.
My little boy has been coming to Charlie Bears for just over 6 months after switching from a different childcare setting, and we are so happy with our decision! The staff are so kind, full of fun and enthusiasm, and you can see how much they deeply care for all of the children in their setting. I would really recommend this setting to anyone who is looking for a nursery in Charlton Kings.
Nanny Dawn joined us when our son was six months old, and she has been instrumental in establishing his routine. She is incredibly kind, caring, and genuinely enjoys the company of children. Though I don’t trust easily, I felt completely comfortable with Dawn within weeks; she is so reliable and trustworthy that we’ve even had her watch our LO over full weekends. She is an expert at advising on milestones like solids and naps without being pushy, and she always respects our preferred routines. First-aid trained and resourceful, Dawn is truly a safe pair of hands. We recommend her wholeheartedly, and hope she stays with us as long as possible!

Valerie has been an incredibly caring, dedicated, and supportive presence in my son’s life.
Valerie kept me updated every single day with photos and detailed information about his activities and diet, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that she truly understood him as an individual. She thoughtfully incorporated my son’s interests into his daily activities, ensuring he was always engaged, entertained, and learning. Every day brought new experiences, including exciting trips out and classes that enriched his development and confidence.
Valerie is not only a wonderful childminder but also a fantastic teacher and source of support. She played a huge role in helping with potty training and taught him all the essential skills he needed to be fully prepared for school. Thanks to her guidance, he transitioned confidently and happily into the next stage of his education.
I highly recommend Valerie to any family looking for exceptional childcare. She is so much more than a childminder — she genuinely cares about the children she looks after and goes above and beyond to support both them and their families
Jemima is the most wonderful nanny any family could wish for. She is kind, patient, funny, very hard working and adapts to any ages and personality. When we hired Jemima we were looking for someone long term to look after our 3 children (at the time they were 6 (g), 10 (b) and 12 (b)) but our circumstances changed and we no longer needed a nanny so we only had Jemima with us for about 1 year. We were all heartbroken but have stayed in touch until now and regularly catch up and she still babysits for us regularly. During her time with us she worked around school hours during term time and full time during the school holidays. Her main focus was on the children, her cooking is fab (our children still talk about her fishcakes being the best in the world) and she also did a bit of light housework to help with the every day.
I could not recommend her enough and if we needed help again we would have her back in a heartbeat.
Any family would be lucky to have her.

Amy has looked after our little boy since he was just 7 weeks old, and she has been wonderful. She is enthusiastic, kind, and very knowledgeable. As a first-time mum, I felt completely confident and reassured leaving him with her, especially as my partner and I are both self-employed and had to return to work. We’re so grateful for her care and would highly recommend her.
Hi. Sohaila thank you very much for your kind care for our son!
We started sending our son to Sohaila during a period when he was experiencing separation anxiety, and she was incredibly attentive and empathetic toward his feelings. Thanks to her warm and thoughtful care, he settled in very quickly and began to really enjoy his time with her.
He learned and enjoyed a wide variety of games, songs, and new words every day. He also had lovely opportunities to play and interact with other children, which helped him develop important social skills.
We saw wonderful progress in his independence. Although he needed help with meals at home, he soon learned to eat by himself and drink water from an open cup after attending Sohaila’s setting.
Whenever his clothes got dirty, she kindly lent clean outfits, and she also provided blankets and toys that helped him feel happy and secure.
Meals were another highlight — she often used vegetables from her garden, making it a healthy and educational environment.
On top of that, she was extremely flexible with scheduling, which was a huge help to us as parents. We couldn’t be happier with our choice, and we highly recommend Sohaila to any family looking for a caring, nurturing, and reliable childminder.

We feel so lucky to have had Nidhi as our nanny. She is dependable, caring, and incredibly attentive to our children’s needs. She creates a safe, loving, and structured environment, and our children absolutely adore her. She communicates well, is always professional, and consistently goes above and beyond. We highly recommend her to any family.
My ‘going back to work’ situation with my second baby was nothing short of smooth with thanks to Lisa. My nearly 1 year old absolutely loves her to death. I could not recommend Lisa enough, she plans days out while also having days in to play, she is informative, so so knowledgeable and puts all her little ones before herself. I 100% trust that when I leave my baby with Lisa, I have absolutely nothing to worry about. P.s the food smells absolutely beautiful and she cooks homemade meals every day.
Francesca looks after my 16 months son presently( twice a week)She is very professional and well qualified. She knows of the activities that are available in the borough and takes my son to partake in those activities. I find her reliable and capable of managing a situation if one arises with my son while I am not around. She cooks well for the little one and manages his meals , sleep and play time.
She is well rounded in terms of understanding a toddlers development milestones and needs along with supporting activities for the same. She is gentle with my son and cares well for him.
I would recommend her services.

Not only trina has refused my little one after I let her know he has food allergies, she has even blocked me now! All I said to her was that she should include in her profile that she don’t cater for babies with allergies. This has caused me so much distress because I already worry so much that by baby misses out a lot in life due to his food anllergy and now to even being refused from a childminder. I’m speechless.
My child has been in Bal's care since last September. Bal and her husband are very friendly and helpful. They are knowledgeable, and are willing to work with a parent as long as you establish a communication.
I have spent months to find a childminder that I can trust, and I am glad I found Bal. I have no doubt she is one of the best in the area.
Kerry started caring for our son when he was just 3 months old and has been with us for nearly 2 years. She has been absolutely fantastic throughout this time.
Kerry is professional, punctual, and incredibly energetic. She engages with our son beautifully whether we're present or out, and neighbors have even stopped to tell us how wonderful she is with him when they see them together. She is an honest and reliable person we came to trust completely.
Kerry is also an excellent cook who genuinely enjoys preparing meals. Our son always had nutritious, delicious food, and she sometimes cooked for us too—everything was absolutely tasty!
She supported us through many stages of our son's development, which wasn't always easy as he has an extreme amount of energy and is certainly not a quiet child. Thanks to Kerry, he has learned so many things and already speaks numerous words. She became a true part of our family, and it's with a sad heart that we say goodbye. Our son adores her and listens to her so well.
We wish Kerry could stay with us longer, but we've relocated to another country. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking an exceptional nanny.

Hulya looked after our 1 year old son Lenny from dec 2024- dec 2025. From the very beginning, Hulya has been an incredibly kind, caring, and supportive presence in our home. She has looked after Lenny with so much warmth and attention, and she has played a truly special role in his early childhood.
Lenny loves her as well, he is always excited when she arrives and often asks for her when she’s not here. As parents we always were comfortable to know Lenny was in a safe and comfortable environment with Hulya.
She has a wonderful natural way with kids. Calm, patient, and thoughtful, and she always makes sure Lenny is not only cared for, but also engaged and encouraged as he grows.
She has also been amazing at everyday routines. Hulya would regularly cook Lenny nutritious, interesting meals...sometimes we got to enjoy the leftovers which was always a great day. She also had a magic touch when it came to getting him to settle down and nap.
Most importantly, Hulya is completely trustworthy and dependable...even when plans change last minute! We have always felt total confidence leaving Lenny with her, and we will always be very grateful for the care she has given him.
