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 am extremely pleased with the care and service Yolanda has given. She has taken excellent care of my son and has always shown genuine kindness, patience, and professionalism. My son feels safe, happy, and well supported in her care, which gives me great peace of mind as a parent.
Communication has always been clear and reassuring, and she consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my daughter’s needs are met. I have seen such positive development and confidence in my child since being in her care.
I would highly recommend her services to any parent looking for reliable, loving, and high-quality childcare. She does an outstanding job, and I am truly grateful for everything she has done for my family.
We have been working with Amy for the last 6 months.
She is great with our daughter and our daughter adores her.
Amy is very accommodating with our ever changing schedules (extra days), which is great as she is extremely reliable.
Amy goes above and beyond coming up with ideas and activities for our daughter on Fridays along with taking her to classes that I have booked.
Amy great at communication, very kind, caring, soft spoken and really does put our daughter first.
They spend a lot of time outside at the park, duck pond, picnic in the park etc …
We share the same values and approach to clean and healthy lifestyle/food which is great to instil consistently in our daughter
Myself and my partner would highly recommend Amy.

Our family can not LOVE Miss Dorrett and her team any harder 🥰 By far Miss Dorrett is the BEST childcare provider I have used in 12 years of having children. My last born started with her when he was 3yrs and continues to.
With her old school morals ❣️💫 love and nurturing, my son walks straight in 🚶🏽♂️and has a great day. When he gets home he reports all of the fun 😂 and learning 🔠 he has had throughout the day with Miss, his other teachers, Miss Hayley 🩷, Miss Denique 💚and Miss Hannah💜 and all of his friends💙. (Thank you ladies)
Her settings are homely, clean ☺️ educational, colourful 🌈 welcoming 🫂 and 100% comforting to leave your child in.
Miss Dorrett takes the children on educational trips, dress up 👨🏽🚒👩🏽🍳 , painting 🎨 wildlife walks and gets them involved in life long lessons like gardening, so my son gets to explore the garden, planting seeds 🌱 watching them grow 🍅🌽 creepy crawlies 🐛🦋 and all that fun stuff most children living in a highrise wont get to explore like the good ole days lol! 💛
Miss Dorrett also has love and patience for us parents 👭🏽 and I feel at ease with expressing any concerns I may have (not that there's been any) but if I did Miss Dorrett is professional enough and caring enough to help you with whatever concern you may have .
If you are looking for someone to love your child/ren genuinely and teach them as best as you would in a safe place, Miss Dorrett is 1st choice 🥇for me over and over again 🏆 You will not be disappointed 😊 We love Miss Dorrett and her team ❤️

My daughter is 3, she started with sherelle when she was 2, sherelle is so caring and loving towards each child in her care, if she ever has to change dates and times she will notify us in advance, every time miyah goes they always do a diffrent range of activities , she always cooks home cooked meals, they always have fruit at snack, miyah has come on so much since being with sherelle, she puts so much care and attention into the children in her care, her daughter joins her on her days of work, and i would honestly say she treats and loves the children just like her own, i couldnt reccomend anyone other than sherelle, her house is lovely, shes dedicated her downstairs area to the kids play room and its amazing, there is so much to do and so many toys, in the summer she has the pool, sand slides ect, miyah dont see at as school ect she sees it as a lovely home from home, shes grown such good friends with sherelles daughter , and she loves sherelle,when miyah was a little poorly. Sherelle attended to her needs, administered medication and gave her lots of cuddles. You can see she tries so hard and gives her all to the children in her care. Shes honestly amazing !
My daughter felt very comfortable around her. She is professional, reliable, and always on time. Communication has been excellent—she’s helpful, responsive, and attentive to my daughter’s needs. I would definitely recommend her. She is very friendly and welcoming.
We are so happy to be connected with Reha for our newborn. Reha was calm patient and reliable for our 2.5 month old baby. She is professional and we appreciate her being on time all the time ! With us she helped our baby bottle feed, bath, put to sleep, and did activity time with him. She was able to read baby cues and comfort him when upset. Thank you Reha !
Anna has been an absolutely amazing childminder for our family. My daughter has been with her for over a year and is still attending, and from day one Anna has been kind, caring, welcoming, and incredibly supportive.
She provides a warm, safe, and nurturing environment, with lots of engaging activities, outings, and even trips. My daughter continues to learn so much during her time with Anna, especially through arts and crafts, creative play, music, and dancing. It’s wonderful to see her confidence and skills grow.
Anna is trustworthy, dedicated, and very flexible, which is such a reassurance for working parents. Seeing my daughter leave with a smile and say, “I’ll be back tomorrow,” truly shows how safe and happy she feels in Anna’s care.
We have complete peace of mind knowing our child is in such good hands, and that’s why we are planning to send our son to Anna as well. I genuinely believe she deserves the highest rating for her outstanding care and commitment.
Highly recommended.
The moment we met Julia me and my partner immediately knew we had found the perfect childminder for our son, we both just felt comfortable and a ease straight away and I am a very good judge of character and this was someone I knew off the bat I could trust with my child. So we was happy to wait for a place.
To make things even better she has the experience, qualifications, and a history as a professional looking after children.
From day 1 Theo never cried on drop offs and aways wanted to stay longer he was clearly happy, engaged and never wanted to leave most days he would have so much fun he would skip naps.
Julia was also Great at providing daily feedback via whats app regarding food play
And activities coupled with images showing vast variations of play scenarios set up. Its no wonder Theo did not want to leave!
Also we value and care deeply about our childs diet and food we feel the home cooked meals made with love she provided a was amazing this is truly a home from home for any child and any who can get a place for there child here has stuck gold.
We were lucky enough to have Jo as a night nurse for 12 weeks and, honestly, we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was wonderful with our son and it was hugely reassuring to know that we had such a sound and experienced source of advice on tap.
As an illustration of the fantastic support she gave me and my husband, one night when our son was unwell and we had to rush to A&E, Jo came with us without hesitation. Having her there was a great comfort at what was really quite a a stressful time and it showed just how much she truly cares. But she was also ready to discuss how our son had been each day, to help us understand his development and to make helpful suggestions as to how to care for him best.
Jo is warm, knowledgeable, and completely dedicated. We feel so lucky to have had her help and would recommend her to any family looking for someone they can trust completely.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our son receives. Char is incredibly flexible and always goes above and beyond to accommodate our family’s needs, which gives us real peace of mind as busy working parents.
The activities provided are fantastic and thoughtfully planned to support physical, social, and language development. Our son is always engaged, learning through play, and coming home excited to share what they’ve done. The home environment is lively, welcoming, and well-organised, with a great variety of toys and resources that keep children stimulated and happy. It truly feels like a safe, nurturing space where children can thrive, grow in confidence, and enjoy themselves.
Anna is an absolutely brilliant childminder and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Our son is now 21 months old and has been with Anna since he was just 6 months old. Although I have three children, this was the first time I had used a childminder. I chose Anna after receiving lots of positive recommendations from different people, and I am so glad I did.
Anna is a very caring and kind person who truly puts the children first. She offers a wide range of activities, and it’s clear how much effort she puts into making each day enjoyable and stimulating. I am always confident that my son’s days with Anna are happy ones.
Since being in Anna’s care, my son has developed incredibly well. His speech in particular has come on so much, which I believe is down to the nurturing and engaging environment Anna provides. I feel completely at ease knowing my child is safe, well cared for and happy. I would highly recommend Anna to any parent looking for an excellent childminder
Vicky had been childminder for a number or years to my two young sons. Both boys tried nursery in their early years and couldn’t settle. Vicky is above and beyond what any nursery setting has to offer. She’s kind, empathetic, high energy and has a love for the outdoors and creative play. Over the many years my boys have been with Vicky not once have I had to worry about them. Not only does her home offer an environment for play and rest it’s also a safe place where children can explore and be their true selves. Vicky is the sweetest soul and children (and parents) love her. Her values are grounded and she offers such a wholesome approach to childcare. She’s a natural with children and from the bottom of my heart feel nothing but gratitude in knowing that she has played a significant role in the development of my two boys- and she continues to do so. She’s a wonderful role model and any one who has children would be lucky to secure her as their childminder. She’s one in a million and we can’t thank her enough for all she does.

Brought my kid in healthy and she came back sick after being given unknown food and food I didn't give permission for or was even told beforehand. I provided a packed lunch so I don't know why she was given any other lunch!!! Her last day and it's definitely and axt of manipulation since she's rude and angry that im.pulling her out although gave her full notice pf 4 weeks ans still paid. She's unprofessional and will change the times last minute, always on holiday and costing me my job!! Doesn't guve a f#@ck and has no actual plans for the kids ans jjst entertains different friends around your kids ??? She was even sorry and tried to cover it with lies. Making a full Ofsted report. I've never had to do this before until this one. Very disappointing and worri3d about my daughters sickness. She did say she didn't want to go back as well. She sends no updates ot photos now I've chosen to move her elsewhere too. Very rude woman. And had Hugh hopes.
We have sent both our little ones to Laura, and have had the privilege of knowing her for over 3 years. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more kind, caring, and nurturing person to support our children in their early years. Laura creates a calm, warm, Montessori-based environment where children are truly seen and supported as individuals. The days are filled with so many wonderful experiences — walks in the woods, trips on buses, visits to the library, baking and all sorts of creative play, along with fun, engaging Spanish lessons.
What stands out most is Laura herself. She is incredibly thoughtful, patient, and genuinely wonderful with children. Our kids have flourished under her care, growing in confidence, curiosity, and independence, and they absolutely adore her. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Laura play such a special role in our children’s lives - thank you Laura!
My twin girls have been going to Anna since September, and I honestly cannot recommend her enough. They settled in extremely quickly, which was such a relief, and I’m amazed each week by how much they have done. From the photos Anna shares and the way the girls run in excited to see her, it’s clear how much fun they have and how happy they are in her care.
It’s very clear that Anna’s teaching skills have been thoughtfully adapted to childminding. The girls are learning so much through engaging, age-appropriate activities, and I’m constantly impressed by the progress they’re making.
Anna’s onboarding process was very detailed and meticulous, which gave me great comfort and confidence from the very beginning. I always feel reassured knowing my girls are in such capable, caring hands.
I would happily have my girls with Anna every day if I needed to.
Heather has been an absolutely fantastic childminder to both our children. One was with her for 3+ years, and the other has recently started.
The children are always happy to go to her and love telling us everything they’ve been up to when they get home, including outings to farms, parks, soft plays and playgroups. She’s great at doing crafts with the children and helped our daughter to write her own name before she was even 4. She has also developed her numeracy in a fun way so she enjoys practicing counting and recognising written numbers.
Heather has taught our girls to be polite, kind and confident, and placed emphasis on healthy habits (e.g. eating fresh food before snack-type items, going to the dentist, washing hands etc.).
We have greatly valued her support and advice to us as parents with things like eating/weaning, sleep, eczema, toilet training and emotional issues. She is always easy to get hold of and great on communication.
I would recommend Heather to anyone, our girls love her!
We are incredibly grateful to have Gloria as our son Vikram’s childminder. Vikram has been attending Gloria’s daycare since January, and it has been an absolutely wonderful experience for him and for us as parents.
From the very beginning, Vikram has been so happy and comfortable at Gloria’s place. He truly enjoys staying there, playing, and learning in a caring and nurturing environment. We have seen amazing progress in him during this time — he has started eating independently and is slowly beginning to speak, which makes us extremely proud and happy.
Gloria has been a huge helping hand to both me and my spouse. Her patience, dedication, and genuine care for Vikram mean more to us than words can express. We honestly cannot imagine this journey without her support.
We are very, very happy and thankful to Gloria, and we highly recommend her to any parent looking for a loving, trustworthy, and supportive childminder for their child.
Our 20 month old thought Fay was amazing. Excellent babysitting, great communication, lovely rapport AND a Welsh speaker 🏴 . Handled play, meal times, getting ready, bed and bath. We could not be happier with how our months with Fay went, and were so sad to say goodbye! Fully recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
