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.
Rayhan is the best childminder and we cannot recommend her highly enough!
My daughter started with Rayhan almost a year ago and has loved every minute - she settled in so quickly with Rayhan’s kind and nurturing support. Within just a few weeks we noticed great advancement in her development, Rayhan pays close attention to all aspects of education - from speech and language to arithmetic and physical education.
We have been so impressed with how our daughter has developed a close bond with Rayhan and the other children in her care. It truly is a home away from home for our daughter, which gives me and my husband the utmost peace of mind and comfort whilst we are working.
Rayhan ensures to keep our daughter engaged with so many fun and imaginative activities. The real standout for us is all the outings to the farm, park, soft play, playgrounds and seaside - something that a nursery setting would be unable to offer.
We thoroughly recommend Rayhan as five stars in all areas, we are so grateful for her fantastic care and education for our daughter.

I have known Barbara for six years now, Barbara has looked after my daughter since September last year. My daughter absolutely loves Barbara. She has come on so much since being with her. Barbara goes above and beyond with the children she looks after, always taking them to different places and her home is beautiful and has lots for the children
to do. She spends time teaching the children their numbers/ alphabet/ shapes. She is very loving and has a very strong maternal instinct I know all the children that she cares for loves her and are always excited to go to her. I would highly recommend
Choosing someone you trust enough to have your child is so nerve wracking but as soon as we met Julie we knew she was the right person, and we were right! Our daughter has loved going to Julie, she's learnt so much and had so much fun. Julie keeps us updated on the Babydays app and sends photos weekly.

We’ve been taking our daughter to Jessy for just over two years now, and we couldn’t be happier. She was recommended to us by a friend’s son, who was 8 at the time and had already been with Jessy for a few years, which we took as a glowing endorsement. And he was absolutely right!
Our daughter genuinely loves going every day. Jessy is incredibly thoughtful and always remembers the little details we share about her, which makes us feel truly heard and supported. The moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth, every child there looks happy, settled, and well cared for.
Being around Jessy and the other children of different ages has helped our daughter learn and grow so much. She comes home singing songs, counting numbers, naming shapes, and excitedly telling us about the games she played and the lovely meals she had. It's been such a joy to watch her thrive in such a nurturing environment.
We have been incredibly happy with our experience at Ami’s Home Nursery in Harrow. Our son absolutely loves going there, which speaks volumes about the warm, welcoming, and stimulating environment Ami has created for the children in her care.
From the very beginning, Ami has shown exceptional dedication to nurturing each child’s development. The setting is safe, clean, and filled with age-appropriate learning materials and toys. The environment is not only caring and homely but also structured in a way that encourages both learning and play.
The food provided is healthy and thoughtfully prepared—something we deeply appreciate as parents. Ami ensures that the children’s nutritional needs are met while also introducing them to a variety of tastes and meals.
One of the most impressive aspects of Ami’s nursery is the focus on early learning. At such young age, my son is already learning to write, recognize numbers, and sing a wide range of rhymes. The learning is seamlessly integrated into daily activities, keeping it both fun and effective. His progress in early literacy and numeracy has truly exceeded our expectations.
Most importantly, Ami offers a level of personal care and attention that sets her apart. Her genuine affection for the children and commitment to their well-being is clear in everything she does.
We are grateful to have found such a nurturing and enriching place for our son. We highly recommend Ami’s Home Nursery to any parent looking for a loving and educational early years setting in Harrow.
I cannot thank Janice enough for the incredible care she provided for my little one. My baby has been with her since she was 9 months old and since the beginning, she was comfortable being with her. She never cried or looked unsettled when I dropped her. She has always come back well-fed, clean, changed and super happy. Janice is very creative, resourceful, intentional and thoughtful. She is genuinely someone that you can trust that will look after your child and keeps you at ease by always having the right level of communication. She has a beautiful setting with toys, books and outdoor space, and does really nice and different activities with the little ones. She even has themed weeks and they do lots of crafts and sensory play. What has really impressed me about Janice is how much she is on the same page as the parent. I had a few things I was trying to achieve with my baby (e.g. baby not taking well to solids) and she really supported me on this journey, by encouraging my baby while being with her. Now my baby is eating very well and every time I pick her up, she does so many new things that she learns. I have definitely seen a huge developmental difference on my little one since she started with Janice. I would highly recommend her as a childminder and I believe the level of care and education she provides is really high!
Joanne is a fab childminder and I will always recommend to anybody looking. My son has been going to Joanne’s for the past 18 months and he loves his time there. She has a dedicated playroom and a great garden to play in when the weather is great. I love that she takes him to different playgroups and always has different activities for him to do.
I couldn’t be happier with the care my child receives at this nursery. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do. My child has settled in beautifully and comes home excited to share what they’ve learned each day. The environment is clean, safe, and filled with enriching activities that support both learning and play.
Phoebe looked after my three children, aged 2, 4 and 7 at the time, for over 2 years.
I cannot even begin to share how amazing Phoebe was with both us as parents, but more importantly our three children.
Phoebe always planned appropriate activities, loved outdoor adventures and put our children needs first. She was adaptable, supportive and always went the extra mile.
I would be happy to be contacted by any potential parents to chat and share references. If you reach out to Phoebe she can pass on my contact details.

We’ve been absolutely chuffed with the care our little one receives. The staff are so lovely, genuinely kind, patient and really get to know each child. It’s clear they put a lot of thought into the daily activities, and there’s always something creative or educational going on. Our child comes home happy and full of stories, which says it all really. The place is spotless and well-organised, and we always feel in the loop thanks to regular updates. Couldn’t recommend it more highly
Our son has been with Lucy and Jamie since he was a year old. We've had a wonderful experience. Our son has developed so much in their care. His language has come on hugely, as has his personal development, and fine motor skills. Lucy and Jamie have also been particularly supportive, they're both friendly and accessible and have provided advice where wanted.
The children are taken off site most days exposing them to playgroups, parks, woodland, soft play, animals and all included in the price. This, i think has been particularly important for our son, and we are provided with daily photos, updates and written reports. We also receive reports of his development and areas to work on. The setting is safe and secure, has easy parking, and a large lawn garden for the children to play in. There is a dog, Cassie, and a cat which has been great exposure. Our son has made good friendships at mayflower and we are excited for our daughter to start when she turns 9 months. I would recommend mayflower childminding to anyone.
thank you both!
Found Reka on this site and after an initial call, she invited us for a visit. She is so warm and friendly and our little one warmed up and was so comfortable with her from the start. Her setting is also wonderful and the baby (only 6months at the time) felt so at home. We also built a natural connection with her immediately and arranged for some settling in sessions which went smoothly. I felt at ease seeing my baby so excited to see her on nursery days and become more independent and social. Reka not only provides a professional service with updates and encouraging development but also makes it such a nurturing and wholesome experience which put us as ease and feel confident leaving our child with her. Many thanks and much appreciation to Reka.
We feel so incredibly lucky to have found such an amazing childminder. From day one, she has gone above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing, and supportive environment where our child has truly thrived.
She has a natural way with children – patient, kind, and completely in tune with their individual needs. From helping with toilet training to offering gentle support with speech and development milestones. It’s clear how much thought and care she puts into every aspect of the day.
The setting itself is both fun and educational, full of creativity and play-based learning. Our little one comes home every day beaming, often with a new skill or craft to show off! She also plans the most wonderful days out, giving the children enriching experiences and memories that will last.
Most importantly, she offers the kind of nurturing, loving care you hope for. We trust her completely and genuinely couldn’t recommend her more highly. She’s played such a big role in our child’s growth and happiness
We’ve had a wonderful experience with Nicky as our babysitter for our 5-month-old daughter. From the very beginning, it was clear that Nicky loves children and a wealth of experience. Our daughter absolutely loves spending time with her—Nicky is incredibly kind, friendly, and engaging.
One of the things we appreciate most is how intentional she is with playtime. She makes sure that every activity is not only fun but also helps our daughter work towards her developmental milestones. Her thoughtful and gentle approach really stands out.
Nicky is also extremely punctual and reliable, which has given us great peace of mind. Our daughter can be very fussy with her bottle, but Nicky had no trouble feeding her, which speaks volumes about her patience and skill.
We feel very lucky to have found someone so caring and competent, and we highly recommend Nicky to any family looking for a trustworthy and experienced babysitter.
Our boys were cared for at Mi Casa across 7 years and we all loved it! The set up is perfect with the playroom, the sleeping room, the garden and easily accessible nature trips out such as to the community garden. We felt relaxed knowing they were in such a warm, nurturing and caring hands and they were having fun with all the toys, playing with new friends and creative crafts. Learning Spanish was a bonus too. Communication with us was great - I loved seeing messages and photos of their day. We feel very lucky to have found Mi Casa!
It’s obviously quite nerve racking leaving your baby with somebody new that you don’t know but Katy really helped me feel confident in her abilities and put me at ease many times when I needed some reassurance even throughout the sit. Extremely impressed with her calm nature and extensive knowledge at such a young age. Would HIGHLY recommend her as a sitter !

Katie's has been looking after alex our 2.5yo son a few months now. We can't be happier, she's very reliable, kind, easy to communicate with. She seemed to know how to find the right approach to alex which means he's always very exited to know that Katie is coming. They always do a lot of fun activities together. They go to the playground, park, soft play, library and even on a little train adventure to the nearby village. Would highly recommend Katie for any childcare.
Jillian looked after my children from 2008 until 2017. I remember the first time I went over to her house, and how warm and welcoming it was. I knew instantly that I could trust her to take the best care of my daughter and son, and that this was the children would become part of her extended family. She was always so accommodating and flexible, and she children adored her. It was a real wrench when the children became too old to attend anymore. I know that Jill made a big contribution to giving my children the best possible start in life.
