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.
Heartfelt thanks to Fatma for the wonderful care she provided to my child over a long period of time.
She was always warm, caring, and easy to communicate with, and her flexibility made a big difference to our daily routine.
Alongside the pick‑up and drop‑off, she kindly offered a free meal, which showed her generosity and genuine care for children.
I truly appreciate everything she has done for my family, and I am grateful for the support she gave us a childminder.
If there were an award for turning everyday moments into magical ones, she would win it effortlessly. Our childminder isn’t just someone who watches children — she understands them, champions them, and brings out their brightest little sparks. She has this remarkable way of blending patience, creativity, and genuine warmth so that every day feels like a new adventure for the children in her care.
What makes her truly special is that you can see the difference in your child — the confidence, the laughter, the stories they can’t wait to tell when they get home. That kind of joy can’t be faked; it comes from feeling safe, valued, and loved. Trusting someone with your child is the biggest leap a parent makes, and with her, it never feels like a leap — it feels like the most natural, reassuring step.
We feel so lucky to have found Sam and her lovely family. She has been such a wonderful childminder to our two-year-old and provides a safe, fun and nurturing environment where our little boy has felt completely at home.
Communication has always been great, and we really appreciate the updates she gives us on what he’s been up to.
We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Sam has been looking after our 2 year old son since September 2025. We have had nothing but a positive experience. She regularly takes the children out to playgroups or they go out on walks, to the park and even fruit and vegetable picking! Sam also keeps the children engaged by making crafts or cooking. Sam makes sure to keep us updated on what our son has been up to during the day and she is friendly and approachable. Our 2 year old enjoys going to Sam’s house and he comes home very happy and chatty. Thank you Sam.
Sarah has been the childminder for my daughter for the past year. My daughter was 6months old when she joined Sarah’s care setting and I could not ask for more.
My daughter absolutely adores Sarah, goes off happy, with a wave goodbye to me in the morning.
Sarah’s setting is not only educational, fun and structured, it is also warm, homely and a house full of love. My daughter idolises Sarah’s children, who are gentle and kind.
Sarah’s activities and themes with the children are well thought out and help progress my daughter in all aspects.
Sarah embraces my daughters ‘sassy-ness’, encourages her to be independent and to have a voice.
Childminders like Sarah are so rare and that is because she is more than a childminder, she goes above and beyond for the children in her care every day.
She is a fantastic childminder who consistently goes above and beyond. She is kind and patient, always attentive to each child’s individual needs, and extremely responsible. Communication is excellent, and we always feel confident that our child is safe, happy, and well cared for. We are very thankful to have found her.
I was really lucky to find Padma to look after my little girl. Though my child was going to Padma only 2 days a week , she seemed to be very attached to Padma. Padma is very loving and a caring child minder and we were really privileged to have her as our child minder.
Ana has been absolutely amazing with my son, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. From day one, she has been kind, patient, and genuinely dedicated to his well-being and development. She creates a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where he feels comfortable and confident. I’ve seen such positive growth in his confidence, communication, and happiness since being with her. Ana always keeps me informed and reassured, and it’s clear how much she truly cares about the children she looks after. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a reliable, loving, and professional childminder.

Suneetha has been helping us with after school pick up of my son for 2 years now.
My son is very comfortable at her set up.
She has an excellent skill to keep the kids engaged. My son has a learnt a lot from her.
He enjoys the freshly prepared food at tea time dinner.
We also take her full day help during school breaks and continue our office without any stress as we know our kid is in safe hands.
I’m so grateful for the care she gives to my 2-year-old daughter. As a mum, leaving your child with someone else is such a big step, but she has made the whole experience feel so much easier and reassuring.
She is patient, kind and genuinely caring. It’s clear that she really takes the time to understand my daughter and make her feel safe and comfortable. She settled in so well, and every time I pick her up she’s happy, and that means everything to me.
The play area is always clean, colourful and very child-friendly. It’s such a welcoming space, and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into making it safe and engaging for little ones. My daughter literally runs straight in as soon as the door opens, which shows how comfortable and safe she feels there.
You can tell she truly cares about the children she looks after. I always feel at ease knowing my little girl is in a loving and secure environment.
I would definitely recommend her to any parent looking for someone trustworthy and nurturing. We feel very lucky to have found her.
We have our youngest with Jenny during the week and our middle child, who's now in reception, spends his holidays back in the setting - because he wants to go back!
Both of our children absolutely love their time with Jenny, and we can’t recommend her enough. Communication is fantastic and the size of the setting means it has an amazing family atmosphere. Whilst being an incredibly intimate setting Jenny also regularly takes the children to local groups ensuring they learns the skills necessary to function within larger groups. This along with the activities she runs in the setting means the children are incredibly well prepared for school.
Despite not being Vegan ourselves, we love the fact that the setting is vegan as it means the children get served the best fresh food every day. We often turn up as boxes of amazing vegetables are being delivered!
We have recommended the setting to several of our friends and everyone who has seen it has loved it!
We can’t recommend Jenny enough!
Marilu is amazing. She has looked after my daughter on and off from the age of 6months to now 8 years old.
She’s friendly and fun and has the added benefit of speaking Italian and Korean!
I’ve always felt safe leaving my daughter with her and recommend her to all of my friends
We couldn’t have asked for a more caring and compassionate childminder for our daughter, MB She started when she was just 2 years old and is now leaving at 3, and the progress she has made during this time has been truly amazing.
From day one, she created a warm, loving, and nurturing environment where MB felt completely safe and happy. She has such a gentle and patient nature, and it really shows in the way the children respond to her — they absolutely adore her.
MB has learned so much under her care, from recognising numbers and colours to building confidence and social skills. We’ve seen her grow not only academically but emotionally too. She has helped her develop trust, independence, and kindness towards others.
What stands out most is how genuinely dedicated and trustworthy she is. Knowing our daughter was in such safe and capable hands gave us complete peace of mind every single day. MB was always excited and happy to go to her house, which says everything.
We are so grateful for the love, support, and guidance she has given our daughter. She truly goes above and beyond, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a five-star childcare experience. Thank you for everything — you’ve made such a positive difference in our little girl’s life! 💛
Hi, as a professional myself, I have got know Sri now for 12 months and found her to be trustworthy and impressed with knowledge that each child has different needs, and Sri accommodates this accordingly with her skills and experience she has obtained. I have also got to see a few other parents where she does assistant in their childcare showing trust and stability in her care for children. I Would recommend Sri to anyone in need of childcare, and she is also available very early mornings which in some cases does help parents manage their time accordingly. Thank you Sri, my lad does love your company and playtime together.

Mama Mia is an excellent child minding service. They are so attentive and caring with my childs needs. They cater so well to individuality and are determined for my child to excel. The time, effort and care that goes into my childs wellbeing whilst he is there is second to none and it has shown with how much my child enjoys being there. My child loves singing and they are often singing and engaging with him whilst he is there. They are also so friendly and approachable and are very communicative with me which is so appreciated. I would highly reccommend this service for children with special needs also as my child has shown so much progress already in independence and speech in the 6 weeks he has been there which is incredible. The childcare location is very clean and tidy and very warm and it is a safe environment for the children to explore in.
Jiba is honestly one of the best childminders I could have asked for. she is amazing with children and really takes the time to understand them and make them feel safe and happy. My child often gets a little sad just before she goes in, but Jiba manages to keep her occupied and settled so well, which gives me so much reassurance as a parent.
My child always talks about what she has done during the day and is genuinely happy to go, which says everything. I also really appreciate how jiba keeps me up to date through the app with photos, activities and updates. It's so nice to see what my child has been doing and how much she's enjoying herself.
I feel very confident leaving my child in Jiba's care and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, attentive and trustworthy childminder.

With the new funded hours and everywhere getting full, I first connected with Paula in December 2024 to try to secure a childminder for when I return to work early 2026. We then continued to speak throughout 2025, however it took some time to get her to agree to meet. We finally met in September 2025 where we had a lovely meet and she said she could take my baby on 2 days a week from April 2026. A few days later she text to say she could now only start from July which is understandable as things change with her current children moving. However, very unprofessionally she texted me out the blue in January 2026 that she has agreed to extend her current children’s days and therefore will not have my baby now. She was lovely in person however I found the simple text, not even a call, after a year of communication very disappointing. To also cancel after agreeing because she would rather extend others very disappointing when could have simply kept the space for me. She was a nice lady but hard to secure and cancelled at the last minute over text when I go back to work in 3 months with no other option for care.
My daughter Helîn has been going to Katia since she was 9 months old, and she is now 31 months. We are very happy with the care she receives. Helîn loves Katia and her family and feels very comfortable with everyone.
Helîn is always happy to go there and is learning new things all the time. It is lovely to see her grow in confidence and continue to hit her milestones. Even when Helîn is upset or having a tantrum, she settles down very quickly with Katia.
Katia gives me real peace of mind when I leave Helîn with her. I always know she is safe, loved, and well looked after.
Katia has also been very accommodating with my early work starts and even looked after Helîn when I had to travel to a different city for work overnight. She is flexible, kind, and understanding.
Katia has also been a great support to us during difficult times. She is very empathetic, caring, loving, and patient.
Thank you, Katia, for taking such good care of Helîn and for being there for me when I needed support. We love you ❤️
Chloe has been working for several months with our five-year-old, who has autism. Through her play sessions, our son has been learning about resilience, expressing his emotions and developing strategies to cope in school, which is finds very difficult. She has also been there for us to offer advice, work with the school and provide general support that we have found indispensable.
Chloe has turned things around for us, and we are eternally grateful for the work she does. Our son also loves her and is very excited to see her each week and has lots of fun with her.
I would highly recommend Chloe, she is a game changer.
