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 100% recommend Sabahete to all parents. Due to Sabahete my boy has become so much more well behaved and has fully developed his speech. She was very considerate from the start of his needs and made sure to talk me through how she would help him develop and improve. I definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to see their child blossom and improve, she is a professional who knows how to provide support.
Rebecca has been amazing. I have been with her for two years and we have had a wonderful experience. Her setting is very clean and spacious, which allows the toddlers to move around and explore freely. She truly opens her home to the little ones, providing plenty of space to play inside as well as a large garden. Rebecca provides a wide range of toys and rotates them every week to keep things fresh. She also creates a themed 'messy play' or exploration table for them each week.
On a daily basis, she takes the children out in the morning and leads an activity in the afternoon. Each outing is different, providing great variety. Her meals are home-cooked and very nutritious.
My daughter loves going to Rebecca's house and always asks for her. She has developed so well over the last two years. I am truly sad that my little one has to move on, and whoever chooses Rebecca as a childminder will not regret it. She genuinely cares for the children and puts a lot of effort into her work.

Always very attentive to his needs, he struggles with food issues and they always follow our plans and food guidance. Anything I ask is always followed nothing is too much trouble !
Thankyou 🩷

We have been with Hapsa for our daughter, Ghalia and could not be happier with the care provided. From day one, Hapsa has created a warm, nurturing, and safe environment that feels like a home away from home. What stands out most is Hapsa's dedication to early development. Our daughter always comes home happy, having spent the day engaging in stimulating activities such as arts and crafts, trips to the park, library, and playgroups. Hapsa has been crucial in improving her confidence and social skills. We completely trust her and are thankful for the love and attention she gives to our daughter. She is not just a childminder; she has become part of our family. We highly recommend her to any parent seeking high-quality childcare.
My daughter has been going to Tibet’s since she was 18months old and I cannot express how incredible Kellie is. My gut feeling on my first visit was so wholesome and calm I’m so happy I said yes! Kellie & her daughter Lillie are like family to me and my husband. I wouldn’t trust another soul with my baby like I do with Kellie & Lillie 🩷 her setting is incredible and they have pets which we also are big lovers of too! I always feel 110% comfortable on a daily basis that my little girl is there and she’s safe and cared for. I would highly recommend Kellie’s Tiney setting for your little one, you won’t be disappointed 🥰

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Nyssa. From the very first day, it was clear that she brings the best of both worlds: the warmth and instinct of a naturally caring person, and the skill and confidence that come from years of teaching. She has that rare mix of being genuinely fun, positive and full of energy, while also creating a calm, predictable routine that helps children feel safe.
Her teaching background makes such a difference — she spots little learning moments, gently encourages independence, and always seems to know exactly what each child needs. You can see how much thought she puts into their day, but it never feels forced or formal; it just feels like a really happy, nurturing home where children thrive.
What stands out most is how much she genuinely cares. She notices the small things, celebrates their progress, and treats every child with patience, kindness and respect. We trust her completely, and our child absolutely adores her. She’s exceptional at what she does because it’s so clearly who she is.
Excellent childminder — caring, trustworthy, and professional. Our 2-year-old son is always happy and excited to go there. We have seen wonderful progress in confidence, communication, and social skills. She provides a safe, loving, and fun environment, and we feel completely comfortable leaving our child in her care. She always keeps us updated with activities, meals, and progress, which gives us great peace of mind. Highly recommended!

Our children have been at Motias for the last few years. You can see how much our children love spending time with Motia and seem very happy at drop off. They do a variety of activities including local playgroups, lots of play time in the garden and often come home with crafts they have done during the day.
Motia has been very flexible with drop off and pick up times, our children feel like part of the family.
Maria has been looking after our son since he was 9 months old. We truly couldn't be happier with her care. She has a beautiful home environment, which is well looked after, clean and tidy. Her home is spacious and on a quiet street, with a lovely big garden too. She has lots of toys and activities for babies and children of different ages. She sends updates throughout the day and photos of what they get up to – whether it's playing with toys at home, going on a walk to the shops or at the local playgroup.
Our son settled in incredibly well, and Maria made the process very smooth. We have always felt we can trust her and that our son is safe and secure in her care.
Most of all we love her kindness, warmth and just how good she is with children. When we get to the door to drop our son off, he beams with excitement. We feel so lucky to have found her. An absolute star!

From the moment I found Chantel’s setting in November 2023, my whole opinion on childminders completely changed. After having a really bad experience elsewhere, I was considering giving up work to care for my son myself because I’d lost trust and confidence in childcare settings. Finding Chantel honestly changed everything for us.
My son started age 1 and is now 3 almost 4 and absolutely loves going there. He has built such lovely friendships with both the children and staff, and it genuinely feels like a home from home environment. The setting is always spotless, with so much space for the kids to play, grow, explore and just be children.
One of the things I love most is how much they embrace the children’s personalities instead of trying to suppress them. My son is very boisterous and energetic, and they’ve always allowed him the freedom to play, learn and explore in a way that suits him. I’ve seen so much growth in his confidence, social skills and independence since being there.
The experiences they give the children are amazing and go far beyond what I expected from a childcare setting. They really make an effort to expose the children to different cultures, traditions and new experiences. From nature walks, farm trips, soft play, sports days and safari trips, to meals out and holiday celebrations and parties, the children are constantly learning and making memories.
Communication with parents is also incredible. The group chat and photo updates throughout the day are such a lovely touch and always made me feel involved and reassured. You can tell the staff genuinely care about the children and enjoy what they do.
As a parent of a Muslim child, I also really appreciated the halal food options and how inclusive and thoughtful the setting is overall.
I genuinely cannot recommend this setting enough. I’ll honestly be sad when my son leaves for school because he truly loves being there. Without hesitation, I would use this setting again for my second child.
Over the 18 months our daughter attended Little Fishes, Shell and Carrianne were nothing short of extraordinary. They welcomed our daughter into their home as if she were family, nurturing her curiosity, confidence and joyful spirit every single day.
From the very first drop-off, we felt an immediate sense of trust. Their warmth, patience and creativity shone through in everything they did. Whether that was inventing imaginative play setups, encouraging her budding independence, or taking the time to share stories of her little triumphs with us each evening. It is clear they see childcare not merely as a job but as a vocation: they celebrated her milestones as proudly as we did and guided her gently through challenges, always with kindness and consistency.
In their care our daughter thrived socially, emotionally and developmentally. She left their setting brimming with confidence, a love of learning and a heart full of fond memories. We will forever be grateful for the way Shell and Carrianne nurtured her character and brought out the very best in her.
Thank you, Shell and Carrianne, for treating our little one as your own and for giving our family such a wonderful start on this journey. We cannot recommend you highly enough.
Nyssa is the most wonderful, nurturing childminder to our two children. She is so dedicated to the children that she looks after as shown through the thoughtful routines, meals, creative tasks, nature activities, outdoor pursuits, phonics and maths sessions (to name a few!) that she puts together every day for them.
Our youngest has come on so much in their first year with Nyssa and particularly enjoys scooting, climbing, running, name writing, counting and reading stories together with the other children in the setting.
At pick up time the kids always leave with smiles on their faces!
Nyssa communicates quickly with us and shares wonderful photos and videos every day. We are so happy for our children to go to Nyssa and are wholeheartedly grateful that they get to thrive in a small setting instead of at a nursery.
From the start of having my son, Naila has been very caring and proactive with him, she interacts with him from as soon as he arrives at her home.
He loves going to Naila's and playing with the other children, his speech has come on a lot more now since being there and they play lots of different games/educational material, which I continue at home also.
My son is always happy to attend and sometimes gets upset when he has to come home, especially if the other children are still there.
Our little boy has been welcomed into Kristy’s with such love and care. We couldn’t have found a perfect fit for our boy. He loves going to Kristy’s and can already see he has grown with confidence and has learnt so much already.
All of the girls at Kristy’s are just amazing! Couldn’t recommend anyone better.
My daughter has been going to Tatyana for the past 6 months, and we are very happy with the care and support she receives. She is nearly 2.5 years old, and we have seen a big improvement in her communication skills. She is now able to speak many English words with confidence. Tatyana is very caring, patient, and attentive with children. We highly recommend her to any parents looking for a trustworthy and supportive childminder.
The place is very hygienic, clean, and well maintained, with a very good play area for children. Tatyana is caring, patient, and attentive, and she creates a safe and friendly environment for kids. We highly recommend her to any parents looking for a trustworthy and supportive childminder.

My son started with Tuli just as he turned one and I returned to work. From the very beginning, it was clear that he was enjoying the company of the other children and settling in well.
He has always been a tricky sleeper and was used to contact napping with me, so I was quite nervous about how he would manage. Tuli was incredibly supportive, happy to adapt to his routine, and kept me updated regularly as he settled in, which made a huge difference.
It’s clear that Tuli provides both exceptional care and a rich learning environment. Our son comes home well fed, well rested, and happy after a fun day with his friends. He has also picked up new words and signs we hadn’t yet introduced at home, like signing along to “Itsy Bitsy Spider” and even starting to recognise letters at just 16 months.
Tuli is always attentive and responsive, tailoring her approach when Nikhil has been unwell or not sleeping well, and she provides a thorough update at pick-up each day. I was able to return to work with complete peace of mind, knowing my son was happy, comfortable, and in such caring hands.
