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 cannot recommend Sara enough. Both me and my children absolutely adored her. She is incredibly kind, warm, patient, friendly and trustworthy, and from the moment she arrived, she made my children feel comfortable, safe and happy.
She spent time genuinely playing with them, keeping them engaged and making sure they were having a lovely time. She was so caring and attentive to all of their needs, always making sure they were comfortable, well looked after and happy.
My younger child became very attached to her and only wanted to sleep cuddled up in her arms, which truly showed how safe and comforted he felt with her. My older son also absolutely loved her, listened to her so well and wanted to stay close to her the whole time.
As a mum, it means everything to find someone you can genuinely trust with your children, and Sara gave me complete peace of mind. She is truly lovely, caring and amazing with children. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for someone reliable, nurturing and genuinely wonderful. ❤️

I cannot recommend Kerry, Jackie and Nanny K at Sunnyside highly enough. As a family-run setting, they genuinely treat every child as an extension of their own family, creating a warm, nurturing and trusting environment.
We have complete confidence in their care, they are attentive, reliable, and keep us consistently updated with photos and insights into our child’s development and learning. The daily activities are thoughtfully planned and often linked to real-life events, which adds meaningful context to the children’s experiences.
Their garden is secure, engaging and filled with opportunities for fun, play and exploration. Every aspect of their setting reflects the care and dedication they put into supporting the children.
We have no complaints whatsoever and would wholeheartedly recommend Kerry and her family to anyone looking for exceptional childcare.

Both of my children went to Annemarie from the age of 1 until 3 or 4 and had the best time with her. The care she provides is second to none and the creativity that she brings to their play is amazing! Annemarie became an extension of our family helping us to bring up our children, offering advice and support on all challenges of parenting! The boys still talk about her now at 5 and 7, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder who will teach, care for and nurture your children in a home from home environment.
I have been sending both my son and daughter (pre-school age) to Aunty Zainab & team for over a year now and the impact on both my children’s and my life has been incredible. I have seen a complete turn around in my kids attitude to go to a childcare setting where previously they were unable to settle in a nursery setting. I have also noticed how much confidence they have gained and look forward to hearing the stories from their day with Aunty Zainab & team.
The kids always come back having learnt something new whether it be numbers, days of the week or a new song. The team also keeps me updated with regular pictures and text messages and I am always encouraged to message should I need to.
My kids are particularly fond of Aunty Ashi who really gives them a boost every morning on drop off & my daughter often gets excited to go in and tell her what she’s been up to on the weekends. All of the staff go above and beyond for the kids as well as the parents and they really have been a life saver for me as I don’t have anyone else to rely on!

We used Kay's services as the first childminder for our baby girl, at the time she was approx 15 months. Kay was a delight to deal with from the offset being very prompt with messages and also providing updates throughout the day with pictures, we really appreciated this as we felt reassured throughout the day seeing pictures of her food and activities. We also feel that Kay did promote development and skills that we did not realise at first, it was only in a wider setting with other children and on the reports of activities completed during her stay that we realised Kay was very proactive at pushing development with her. I would recommend Kay to all friends and family with no concerns.

Kay is such a kind, caring, and genuinely lovely person. From the very beginning, she made my child feel completely safe, happy, and at home. It honestly gave me so much comfort knowing my child was so settled with her — she would walk straight through the door excited to see Kay without even saying goodbye to me!
I have my child on a routine, and Kay followed it perfectly while still making every day fun and enjoyable. She takes the children on lovely trips out and always keeps them engaged and happy.
One thing that really stood out to me was how reassuring and supportive she is. Whenever I wanted an update, she would reply quickly and always put my mind at ease. As a parent, that means everything.
I truly couldn’t recommend Kay enough to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and loving childminder. She treats the children as if they were her own, and I’m so grateful for everything she has done for my child.
Our daughter has been attending Beth and Callum's for the past 2 years, and our son has recently started too. We couldn’t be happier with the care and support they receive. Our daughter has really excelled during her time here, learning numbers, letters, colours, and so much more in a fun and nurturing environment.
She enjoys their daily walks, trips to the park, and local outings.
Our son has settled in incredibly quickly, which is a real testament to how welcoming and caring the setting is.
We also really appreciate the daily updates and photos, which give us peace of mind and allow us to see all the lovely activities they get up to throughout the day. Picking them up is genuinely the highlight of my day when they come home happy and so excited to tell us about their day.
Highly recommend!
My daughter started with Mel and Jean in January this year at 12 months old. Mel was the first childminder I actually spoke with and then met. She told me to have a look around to make sure I feel confident in who I want to look after my daughter. But as soon as I met her I knew I didn’t need/want to look elsewhere!
In such a short space of time she fell right into place and absolutely LOVES going to Mel’s house.
My daughter has profound deafness and wears cochlear implants and I cannot praise Mel and Jean enough for the support they give her every single day and the effort they put in to ensure her needs are met to the fullest. In just 4 months my daughter has developed and thrived in ways I never expected her to.
They go above and beyond, taking the kids on day trips regularly, whilst also providing amazing sensory and educational play at home.
I’m so glad I picked Mel and Jean to look after my little girl, because I know they look after her as if she was their own❤️
Aisha has been amazing with my children and very supportive with childcare arrangements. She is caring, reliable and keeps good communication throughout. My children feel comfortable and happy in her care, and I appreciate how flexible and understanding she has been. I would definitely recommend her to other parents.
Amy looked after our two daughters for 3.5 years, as a nanny, before becoming a childminder. She cared for our children with professionalism, warmth, humour and reliability. As a Norland-trained nanny, Amy created a secure environment both inside and outside of our home, and we always trusted her judgement when it came to the safety of our children.
Amy's organisation is second to none. She managed routines confidently, prepared delicious and healthy meals, and supported both weaning and table manners. She has a strong understanding of child development and often planned activities and outings that supported our children’s learning, confidence, and social skills.
Communication with Amy was easy, and we felt fully informed as parents. We have no doubt that she is an excellent childminder.
My daughter has been at Sunnyside with Kerry and the team since she was 13 months old. I was extremely anxious leaving my daughter for the first time however Kerry and the team put me at ease straight away my daughter has been given the upmost time and attention when she has needed 1:1 support she has been given it and has the most amazing relationship with nanny k and Jackie. She loves all at Sunnyside but the support she has been given has been second to none the garden space the soft tray education is amazing and I receive constant updates and pictures throughout the day that brings a smile to my face whenever I see how much she has been enjoying herself. I will always be so appreciative and grateful for Sunnyside and what that have done for my little girl. X
This nursery is honestly second to none and i would recommend to absolutely anybody who is looking for a childcare setting that feels like a home away from home. My son attended here from 2023-2025 and when i fell pregnant with my daughter i knew she would be going nowhere else other than here. To say i am happy with this nursery is an understatement. they really do go above and beyond. not only with the children but with families too. All staff have been a shoulder to cry on when i’ve needed it and has listened to all my troubles and worries no matter how busy they may be. My son absolutely loved Brook cottage and i was devastated when he left to go to nursery but 6 months later we returned with my little girl. All of the meals are freshly home cooked and have a wide variety so there’s never the same meals week in or out. The children are taken on day trips or a walk around the local areas to expand their knowledge and encourage creative play and there’s always a different set up each day. They keep me regularly updated with nappy changes, nap times and what my daughter has eaten and drank throughout the day through the app along side pictures of what she is getting up to. I am so glad i chose Brook Cottage to care for my children.
I just meet Rosie and after we talk for two hours i could realise how professional she is , all information provided on complex cases involving children with ASD and special needs, providing up to date information and variety of funded childcare packages.My little daughter Sofia adored Rosie from the moment she walked in hour house ,also very supportive for me recommended things to help me in the future, to help me come out of the same routine I have it for one year time (a single mum with 3 kids )

Harmeet has babysitter my children several times now and I will be booking her in in a regular basis. She is very thorough when meeting the children taking the time to understand medical needs and emotional needs. She has made me feel really comfortable in being able to leave my children. I would highly recommend her.

Sarah and her staff are incredibly kind and they clearly love the children in their care. We are so grateful to them for all their amazing work with our daughter. She looks forward to going there and loves all the songs, games and activities they plan. The garden is clean, spacious, with lots of new outdoor toys and activities including a netted trampoline. Sarah always keeps us updated about our daughter's activities, naps, mood, toileting and eating habits each day. We couldn't be happier. Even though there are lots of nurseries closer to us, we would rather our daughter stay with Sarah as we feel so confident she is receiving the best care and education.
Really happy to have found Sophia. She and the team are great with our 9 month old who is happy to be dropped off there each morning and still happy when we pick him up in the evening. Sophia keeps us well updated and we really enjoy seeing the pictures of what he’s been up to each day. He’s also had allergies and Sophia has been able to accommodate these no problem.
My daughter has been looked after by Benji since January this year due to concerns we had with her previous nursery and the extra support she needs because of delay in her gross motor skills.
We are absolutely thrilled with the difference we have seen in her since being with Benji and the care and support he has provided.
Benji has embraced the extra support my daughter needs, including visits from physiotherapists.
We have seen big improvements in her development since being with Benji, such as crawling, exploring more foods and lots of new words!
We receive regular feedback and communication from Benji about her day and I feel comfortable that he is always on hand to answer any questions.
Benji works hard to focus on my daughters development and there is always a new activity to keep her stimulated and enjoy her time.
We are so happy with the support we have received so far from Benji and are comforted to know that she is well looked after and cared for. Benji has welcomed my daughter into his childminding group, with his warm and kind personality he has helped her thrive and we are grateful for all his support.
My daughter enjoys going to nursery everyday. Reema and her team has looked after her since 6mths and now shes almost 2. She has flourished in their care, met all her developmental milestones and enjoys the home like feeling of the nursery. We particularly wanted a small nursery for her and Giggles & Grins has been the best decision for her. We are very happy with the nursery.
