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.
Tabitha really helped us out of a tight spot. We needed a babysitter on a weekday in the daytime and Tabitha helped us out with only 2 days notice. She replied to all my messages promptly and was able to accommodate any requests we had.
Our daughter (2 1/2 yrs) was very comfortable around her and I could tell by her manner that Tabitha has a genuinely caring attitude towards children.
Dorothy is a compassionate, knowledgeable, and highly experienced newborn maternity nurse who provided exceptional support during our postpartum period. She guided us through establishing healthy feeding and sleeping routines, helped us better understand our baby’s cues and behaviour, and created a calm, safe, and nurturing environment for our child.
She was also flexible and supportive during a particularly challenging recovery period following a C-section and hand surgery. Dorothy is gentle, intuitive, professional, and reliable, and we would highly recommend her to any family seeking trusted newborn care support.

Rosie is a gentle, compassionate, and highly experienced nanny who takes an intuitive approach to newborn care. She is very knowledgeable about infant feeding and sleep approaches. She also has great knowledge of baby products and what is appropriate at different developmental stages.
After several bad experiences with nannies, Rosie has been flexible in supporting us with both day and night care arrangements which is hard to get these days. Our engagement has just started but I am confident we will have great collaboration moving forward. Rosie's communication has been excellent and we would highly recommend her to any family looking for experienced and caring newborn support.

Amy has looked after 2 of my children she has always been great at communicating giving updates and pictures and a overall health of your child in her care.
I love how she's outgoing and gets the children outside no matter the weather both of my boys enjoy being outside.
We met with Shibani and visited her setting and felt very encouraged and welcomed into her lovely home. She provided us with lots of useful information to take away and a sense of confidence that our child would be well cared for under her supervision. We were particularly impressed by the level of educational materials which she showed us and how thoughtfully set up the children's area was with child friendly sinks, tables etc.
Leyla has been such a lovely presence in our home — kind, thoughtful, calm and incredibly caring with the children. She has such a natural way with children and built such a warm bond with them in a very short space of time. She was also always professional and clear with communication. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leyla and we will be keeping in touch 😊

I have had the pleasure of employing Estefanía to support our family with occasional morning childcare ( before school drop-off) housekeeping, and occasional evening babysitting.
From the very beginning, she became much more than a nanny to us, she truly felt like part of our family. We are only parting ways because we are moving far away, otherwise we would have loved to continue having her with us.
Estefanía is, without question, the best nanny we have ever had. She is warm, patient, reliable, and consistently punctual. One of her greatest qualities is her initiative: she is always one step ahead, ensuring everything is organised and prepared for the following day, which brought a great sense of calm and structure to our home.
She also introduced our children to Spanish in such a natural and joyful way, using games, songs, and everyday interaction to make learning fun and engaging.
Beyond childcare, Estefanía has always been incredibly helpful around the house whenever an extra pair of hands was needed. She treats our home with genuine care, respect, and attention, as though it were her own. She was also always happy to prepare delicious and balanced Spanish meals for the family, which we truly appreciated and enjoyed.
Any family would be extremely fortunate to have Estefanía supporting their home and children. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information.
All the best, C.
Ella is an amazing childminder and such a wonderful person. She has been taking care of my son, Victor, for the past 7 months, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care she provides.
The setting is always clean and welcoming, the food is amazing, and the activities and games she does with the children are both fun and educational. Victor absolutely loves spending time there and has developed so much since starting with Ella.
What I appreciate most is the peace of mind she gives me - I know my son is safe, happy, loved, and very well taken care of every single day. It’s clear that Ella truly cares about the children and treats them like her own.
I highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional childminder. Thank you so much, Ella, for everything you do for Victor!

My soon to be 18month old has been going to Ella since she was about 7 months . She absolutely loves being with Ella , she even doesn’t want to leave at times when I come to pick her up . Ella constantly provides updates with pictures and videos to let me know how my baby is doing through out the day. She provides a wide range of activities and tasty meals for the children and her home is super clean and tidy. She also provides a babysitting service that I have used many times when my husband and I have been stuck and needed childcare for the weekend. I feel at ease when my baby is with Ella and have no worries .

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Frances and her team.
We had our daughter in Frances’s child minding setting from 12-18 months (after which we moved abroad, otherwise she would have stayed much longer!). We were extremely wary to leave our baby with a caretaker for the first time, but Frances made the transition incredibly smooth and planned the settling-in carefully so we did not feel rushed.
Frances and her team curate a stimulating and nurturing environment for babies and toddlers - both inside Frances’s home and at daily outings to the clock club and local playgroups. The intimacy of Frances’s setting allows the children to have individual focus and attention, while also benefiting from socializing with others. Each member of the team - Frances, Nancy, Sian, Julia (to call out a few!) - has a genuine passion for childcare. They provide a perfect combination of constructive learning and gentle support.
I had a particularly difficult time transitioning back to work after spending every second of the first year with my baby. Frances was always communicative and sent regular updates regarding our daughter’s development - it made all the difference knowing she was in safe hands. Though our daughter initially struggled being away from us, we witnessed her transform, gain confidence and thrive under Frances’s care.
We are incredibly grateful to Frances and her team !!!

My son started with Tuli when he was 17 months old. In the beginning I was really stressed as he has never been separated from me, but Tuli with her patience and warm smile make him feel really comfortable and adapt to his new routine really fast. Also Tuli provides variety of activities to keep the kids occupied and my son seems to be really enjoying the activities. I would definitely recommend.
My son has been going to Jodie since he was 9 months old and honestly we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She’s been such a huge part of his early years and he absolutely loves going there( he doesn’t even say goodbye anymore, just goes straight in lol).
She’s caring, patient, and always makes my son feel safe and happy. It’s been amazing seeing how much he’s grown in confidence and learned while being with her, she also loves and cares for him like one of her own!!I always know he’s well looked after and that gives me so much peace of mind.
Couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely lovely childminder. The best there is!
Thanks you so much!!
Maggie has been with Naomi (Omi) since she was 9 months old and is now about to turn 15 months. We couldn’t be happier with the care and support she has received during this important stage of her development. Maggie is always so happy and excited to go, which gives us such peace of mind as parents.
We especially love the creative play and activities Omi plans - it’s clear how much thought and care goes into helping the children learn and explore in a fun, nurturing environment. Omi has also played a wonderful role in supporting Maggie’s developmental milestones and introducing baby sign language, which has been amazing to see at such a young age. Maggie absolutely loves the gentle greyhounds, and it was incredible how quickly she learned the sign for “dog” because of them.
Naps were always a huge worry for me, especially as we struggled at home in the early days, but Omi has supported us so patiently through every stage. She is always willing to adapt to Maggie’s changing schedule to help us, and that flexibility and understanding has meant so much to our family.
Omi is truly amazing, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her as part of our team. We are so grateful for the love, patience, and dedication she shows every day, and we would highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring and engaging childminder.

The activities are always creative and educational — from messy play and gardening to library sessions and outdoor adventures. Communication with parents is excellent, and we always receive thoughtful updates about the children’s day and development. Katia’s experience with children really shows in everything she does. Highly recommended for multicultural families looking for a caring and enriching environment.
My son have now been full time with Kath for nearly 3 years and he loves every single day of it. There is never a boring day, he loves to tell me about his day and all different things they do. She has taught him alphabet and numbers, even though he was not interested in any of it each time I have been trying!
She takes personal approach with each child and ensures they feel comfortable to be themselves. We are eternally grateful to have found such a caring individual.

I can throughly recommend Nancy Allwright as an excellent childminder. She has been after my 2 children for over 10 years. Both my son and daughter love spending time with her. Nancy also makes sure the children are very well cared for and also ensure they have an enjoyable time. Nancy is well trusted by us and we are always confident that the kids will be safe and happy whenever they are with her. Nancy is fantastic with the kids and we are extremely pleased with her service.
Katia is a brilliant childminder. She is warm and caring of her charges, and extremely well informed about their developmental milestones. She has endless energy and always has new ideas for games and activities for the children. At BuzzBee she has a created a loving and safe environment for children to develop and thrive, not to mention the delicious Italian lunches they eat every day! I recommend her very highly.
