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.
My son started at SpaceHoppers in July 2024 when he was just 16 months old, and since day one he has been genuinely happy and excited to go in every morning. The team provides an extremely professional yet warm and flexible service, always accommodating our needs with care and understanding. The childminders truly take the time to understand each child individually and tailor their approach accordingly, which has given us great peace of mind as parents. We are absolutely delighted to have SpaceHoppers caring for our son, it honestly couldn’t be better.

We will be forever grateful for the day we found Michelle. Our childminder at the time was closing and we only had a month to find a replacement. Thankfully, as soon as we met her, we knew she was right for us and our daughter. She is calm, kind, professional and organised. She provides a caring and safe 'home from home' environment. She has a lovely home and secure garden for the children to play. She has two dogs who soon became our daughter’s furry friends. Michelle would often send us photos of them cuddled up on the sofa together.
Michelle kept us updated via messages and photos of the children's activities each day. They included home baking, arts and crafts, various trips out to the library, local park, picnics at Fairlands valley, fruit picking, Standalone farm, museums and soft play to name a few. Michelle goes above and beyond in everything she does. She provides healthy snacks, lunch and a home cooked dinner every day. She will even wash and clean the children’s clothes and keep a clean set at hers in case of any accidents.
Michelle is flexible and accommodating wherever possible. She also looked after our son during the school holidays and even collected and dropped off our daughter occasionally when we had car problems. Michelle will drop off and collect from Round Diamond primary school for those that may need it. Our daughter was able to draw, colour in, hold a pencil correctly and write her name all before turning 4. I truly believe this was testament to Michelle and her patience and dedication to helping children learn and develop confidently whilst in her care.
Our daughter has now left Michelle’s and moved on to school nursery. However, she often tells me that she misses Michelle and the friends she made. Depending on capacity, we still have the option to send our children to Michelle in the school holidays which we are extremely grateful for. I asked our daughter what she would like to say about Michelle and without prompting she said ‘I love her’ … that says it all!! We truly can’t recommend her enough!
Our little one is approaching two and has been with Deb since he was nine months old. He gets so excited to go to “school” which really is a testament to how wonderful Deb is. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure he is happy, settled, and developing in the best possible way.
I was super anxious about returning to work and leaving him all day but Deb arranged settling in sessions which made a huge difference. These sessions made me feel much more comfortable before he moved on to full days.
Communication has always been excellent, and I absolutely love receiving photos and updates at the end of the day - it’s so lovely to see how happy and engaged he is. They regularly enjoy outings to parks, Chester Zoo, soft play and many other places, which has been fantastic for his confidence and development.
Since being with Deb, he has grown and developed in so many ways. Choosing Deb was one of the best decisions we made and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Luana looked after our 14-month-old for four days and was an absolute lifesaver. She was punctual every day bringing activities and singing to entertain him. She even taught him animal sounds songs and some Italian words. She was incredibly helpful and responsible with his snacks meals and nap times. Having her at home gave me peace of mind. She’s truly professional and we’ll definitely be seeing her again. Thank you Luana!

Our daughter has been with Rachel for about half a year now and we couldn't be happier.
Rachel is a very caring, conscientious and professional childminder. Settling-in was very smooth and reassuring. Rachel always works with us rather than imposing a certain way of doing things. We highly recommend her services.

Yoli was born to work with children! she is great fun, very engaging and my two daughters (aged 1 and 4)
love their sessions with Yoli each week. My eldest always asks "is it a Yoli day today?".
She has been teaching them Spanish through games and songs in a way that is fun and appealing for both ages - quite a skill! I would highly recommend Yoli as a child minder!
Eb Coker has been a fantastic childminder for my child. She provides a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment, and always goes above and beyond to support my child’s development and well-being. Communication is clear and professional, and I always feel confident leaving my child in her care. I highly recommend Eb to any parent looking for a reliable and caring childminder.
Thanks Zarah for being a second mum to my boys. You have truly helped me in a difficult phase of my life. You stepped in to help me with the boys over the weekend and rely flexed to accommodate our needs. I can not thank you enough for stepping in with my last minute request for a business trip when I had no one to turn to. I really felt at easy going away knowing that the boys will be well looked after.
Thank you so much

Couldn’t recommend the team enough. Farrah, Jess & Toni were all so kind and caring with my little boy. The little touches like Father’s Day, Mother’s Day & Christmas crafts ect were so lovely. Such a lovely place, cannot thank them enough for the care they provided during his time.
Our son has been going to Lucy since he was 5 months old, he is now 2. The care he has received has been outstanding and it has suited him at every stage from small baby to toddler. Lucy knows him so well and he loves going to Little Willows, in fact he asks when leaving "I come back?". The setting with Lisa ( who is also awesome) works so well and we love the fact he mixes with different ages and spends so much time outside. We are sad we didn't find out about it earlier for our daughter but she also got to spend some time there the year before she started school and she loved it!
I don’t know where to start!
We haven’t just gained a childminder, we’ve gained a friend too.
Our child has been coming to Tina and her crew for a year now and they’ve always made us feel like family. They always treat the children like their own! They are so loving and always have open arms. Tina’s home gives a lovely warmth and cosy feel which helps my son settle well.
Since being at the setting we have found our son has progressed so much. He’s much more confident, relaxed, talking a lot, has learnt lots of new skills and generally more happy! He is also eating lots of new types of food which he would normally refuse at home. They also give lots of healthy snacks through out the day which he loves.
The team are great with special requirements, after letting them know about our son’s needs they were there to help right from the start.
Every time we pick up our son he is always smiling and often comes home with handmade pictures and decorations!
I cannot thank the team enough for sending updates/photographs throughout the day, it makes us so happy to see how much fun he is having, especially when they go on days out to the farm etc!
We wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after our son.
We feel so blessed to have such an amazing childminder and team ♥️
We feel so lucky to have found Rachel and that she had space for us. Our daughter was 7 months when she first started attending and we were nervous in that transition. Our settling in sessions were incredibly calm and reassuring and, now 12 months on, our daughter has thrived. She loves going to Rachel's and we've never had an issue with drop off. She is incredibly well fed with home cooked, nutritious meals and Rachel is creative and innovative and thoughtful in how she structures the day. They regularly go on outings but even if they're at home there's a brilliant mix of active, structured, unstructured and craft / art play. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
Herah came to my place for the first time today we loved her. She is very gentle and caring towards my little boy. They took a stroll to the local park. Kept me updated throughout the visit with videos. Asked for any information she might require regarding my son. We planned another day for babysitting with her and I’m really looking forward to it. Because of her my meeting went really well I feel so relaxed knowing my little one was in safe hand. She provided all the necessary documentation for safety precautions. Highly recommend her to everyone.
Thanks Herah for being so helpful.

Our little boy Finley joined at 1year old and pretty much went in full time with Laura. He loved it and made so many new friends who then have moved on with him to school nursery at 3years making it a great transition.
We’ve already booked our second child in for next year as we know he will be looked after and have the home environment we want him to enjoy in is early years too.

Friendly, creative and engaging nursery setting. Staff are wonderful and my daughter is so happy every day she goes in! A range of activities, and I love that they have different speakers and clubs come in such as rugby tots, doctors and fire service! Wish I had found them for my older children!!
