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.
Liz is amazing! We booked her after a friend recommended her, our 7 month old had never slept for more than 4 hour stints and was usually waking up around 2 hours after going down and would stay awake for 4-5 hours through the night and only sleep on us. We had read a lot of books and other guidance and nothing helped. Liz came in and stayed with us for 3 nights, we are now 5 nights down and our son has slept 12 hours every night since with maximum one proper wake up where he soothes himself to sleep. Liz is so experienced and confident and calm in her methods so really puts you at ease throughout the process, she is also great for other baby advice and has also been on hand for our weaning questions! Thank you Liz, it’s made such a monumental difference to our family in such a short space of time.
Luiyana provided child care for our daughter from when she was almost 3 to school year. She was a great find and our daughter was very happy throughout her time there. Her house is immaculate and she gives individual attention to each child depending on their needs. She has a structured learning environment and my daughter gained confidence and independence which were essential before starting school. She is open and warm and and creates a nurturing environment for children of all ages. Would recommend a hundred percent.
Our boys went to Zee for last 3 years . Lovely environment . Boys felt safe, cared for and enjoyed all activtives. Truly is peace of mind for parents. My boys are different personalities but both boys learnt alot and grew and developed into lovely lads. Only reason we left is it was time for boys to go to nursery . They needed to move to the next level. She provides an Excellent service . Zee truly cares for children. She always communicated openly and honestly. Sickness is unforunately is part of the process escpecially with twins we did have to factor it into our lives. Highly recommend her to any parent.
Kelly isn’t just a childminder but a role model and somebody that creates a home from home environment for any child, as well as my daughter. She has been with Kelly for two years and I wouldn’t change a thing and would recommend highly! Making every day fun, never missing special days (mother’s day, Easter, birthday) there’s always something she goes above and beyond for.
My daughter has come and leaps and bounds, with now talking and holding conversations, mixing with peers and becoming more confident!
Couldn’t be more grateful for the care Kelly provides and the love and support she gives!
I have been very happy with the care my son has received from Mrs Uzma on weekends since September 2025. She is consistently calm and patient, which creates a reassuring environment for him. Her home is always clean, bright, and safe, providing a comfortable space for play, meals, and rest.
Mrs Uzma goes above and beyond by helping with extra homework, which has been incredibly beneficial for his learning and confidence. She is flexible with schedules and plans, making weekends smoother for our family. Her manner is always polite and respectful, and she treats our son with kindness and attention.
Trust is important to us, and we feel confident leaving him in her care. She is reliable and communicative; updates about his day, progress, and any concerns are provided regularly and promptly. Overall, her dedication, reliability, and warm approach have made weekends enjoyable and stress-free for our family.

With Gail, I’m always confident that my two children are in excellent hands. They’re genuinely excited to spend time with her, and it’s clear how much they enjoy their days. I really appreciate the regular updates she sends, complete with photos, as well as the clear breakdown of the day’s plans and activities. Her communication, transparency, and genuine care give me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a childminder who truly cares for your children and keeps you fully informed, I would highly recommend Gail.
I wanted to expand on my previous review as now I have 2 more children in Katie's capable and caring hands! I wouldn't want anyone else to care for my children. Katie makes my boys feel like family, as do her own lovely children.
As in my previous review, Katie organises something fun to do with the children everyday as well as educational activities. I always enjoy seeing photos and hearing about what the boys have been up to!
Marya is an amazing childminder and a lovely lady, will always go above and beyond with her care for children. My son absolutely adores her and I couldn’t imagine him being with anyone else. He is so excited to go to Maryas every day! Very flexible and is always willing to help where she can with last minute time changes, she was amazing when I moved house and she had my son all day till we were moved in! Honestly couldn’t recommend a better childminder! Such a loving, kind, caring lady! My son won’t be going anywhere till he starts school for which I will be very sad he’s leaving her when that time comes! Forever grateful for her commitment to my son and her treating him as her own! Amazing lady!

Katie looked after my daughter from 1 year until she started Nursery at 3. She has looked after my son from 4 months until currently (he’s 2 now). I couldn’t recommend Katie more, she has helped me raise my children offering not only an exciting learning environment but with love, kindness and warmth. She plans and varies her days carefully and I love hearing about their adventures. We all adore her.

We were recommended Carole by another child minder from Childcare.co.uk who didn't have availability when we approached them.
Carole from the very first initial contact has been amazing. She is a brilliant communicator, everything is explained which makes us feel at ease leaving our little boy with her.
We were invited to see the premises prior to our little boy starting & her set up is really great, clean, safe and secure. Amazing grounds and play room.
Since starting with Carole in the new year, our little boy has literally thrived. He gets so excited when he recognises the property & literally beams upon Carole answering the front door (which is a great indication that Carole does a fantastic job of looking after and nurturing our boy). Carole is always happy to see our little boy & shows amazing compassion and care towards him.
Communication remains really good, we always get a handover at the end of the day & if there's anything else we get contacted through WhatsApp.
Thank you Carole!

I met Shelley Shorties during a delicated time and I always say that she was an answer to my prayers. When any daycare around could meet my son’s needs, She welcomed him without hesitation and helped me to get all the support he needed, not only whilst he was at her setting but until she was sure he would get a place at school. Shelley, I can only express my deep gratitude for welcoming and caring so well for our children as if they were your own, for giving mothers a voice when needed and fighting for their children rights. To all the Shelley Shorties Staff: thank you for always being so supportive and professional , specially for always putting our kids safety first. I always recommend you to any friend or relatives because your job is not excellent, but also absolutely necessary☺️.
Pika has been an exceptional nanny for our family. She has cared for my youngest since she was six months old, and she is now nearly two, as well as looking after my eldest. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly attentive, calm, and deeply caring.
She goes above and beyond in ways that make a real difference to our daily life, from preparing lovely, thoughtful meals to creating a warm, secure environment for the girls. They absolutely adore her, and it’s clear how safe and happy they feel in her care.
Pika is professional, reliable, kind, and genuinely invested in the children she looks after. Anyone who has her will be incredibly lucky. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Ayodele was completely brilliant with our 14-month-old. He's not usually comfortable around new people, so we were amazed at how quickly he warmed to her. She was caring and attentive, and it showed in how she handled him from the start.
She gave him time to settle in on his first day, which made such a difference.
She kept us updated on his daily activities throughout, and it was reassuring to see him play in her different settings and also have naps. I was confident that my little one was being cared for and will definitely be using her again without hesitation when the need arises.
We were lucky to find katie back in 2022, for our 8 month old daughter. We looked many settings around but Katie’s setup, attitude, flexibility and outlook suited us the most. Our little one is nearly 4.5 and has grown together with katie’s younger daughter as extended family. There has been days when our daughter has been in for 10 hours and katie has taken excellent care. At end of everyday, the little one has so much to share regarding day’s activities and new things they learned or explored etc. Our daughter is starting school in September 2026 along with few more, which is making some spaces available and i would highly recommend it to anyone in ashvale, Mychett, northcamp and farnborough area.

My daughter has been going for the 6+ months and I'm pleased. Shelley and the team are very caring, attentive and organised when it comes to her needs and wants. I've also noticed such a huge change in my daughter educational learning and communication outside the service which I hold much gratitude.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our child has received over the past few months since starting at Blossoms. Michelle has been incredibly accommodating, especially when it comes to managing our child’s dairy allergy, she goes above and beyond by providing thoughtful, home-cooked meals and snacks that we completely trust.
The setting she provides is amazing, with a warm, welcoming environment and a fantastic range of activities that keep the children engaged and happy. It’s clear how much effort and care she puts into everything she does.
Most importantly, our child absolutely loves Michelle, which says it all. The bond they’ve built is so reassuring, and it’s made a world of difference to us as parents. As a mum returning to work, she made the whole transition feel easy and far less worrying.
We truly can’t thank Michelle enough for everything she’s done so far. We honestly couldn’t imagine sending our child to anyone else.
Bryony is an amazing child minder with a wealth of knowledge in the EYFS framework. My little boy has thrived since coming to Bryony and he is so happy to go each week. She has great communication with us, along with termly meetings and updating us of his next steps. She ensures my little boy attends playgroups, the park, visits to the library and more. She adapts her environment to his needs and has appropriate activities out for him to further develop his skills. I would highly recommend using Bryony as she is friendly, professional, organised & extremely caring.

Having never had a sitter for my son before I was quite nervous, however with Nancy everything was made so smooth and easy. My son who is normally quite shy was very comfortable coming out of his shell and gets very excited for Nancy coming over. Always feel comfortable knowing my son is in safe and reliable hands, couldn’t find a more trusted person to have in my home and to take care of my son.
I was lucky enough to have Krasy look after my two children for over 6 years. My older daughter from when she was 11 months and my younger daughter has known her since she was born. She is everything you could hope for and more - she is SO good with children - SO gentle kind and caring, always took them on fun outings and classes, makes the MOST delicious food (I still miss her bolognaise!) and she truly loved them like her own. She is extremely reliable - always helpful and fitted right into our family. She really is all you would hope for with someone looking after your children and I feel so lucky that we found her. It broke my heart when my youngest went to pre school and so we didn’t need the hours she’d been doing. My daughters adore her and still speak about her most days - she is very very special and you’d be so lucky if she had any time free!
