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 1 year old son has started with Leanne and it’s been the best decision me and my partner has ever made. She’s such a kind and caring person. Fantastic with communication. My son adores her and loves going! I was worried about going back into full time work and leaving my son but my mind is now at ease. Thank you so much!
Jess looked after my 2 year old twins for the afternoon and was great. She met us all beforehand to put our mind at ease as we hadn't used a babysitter before. The twins really took to her and were so settled and happy when we got home. We will definitely be asking jess to help us again as she was a great help and it's such a relief to find someone we can trust.
We recently had the pleasure of having Iva care for our boys, and we truly could not have asked for a better babysitter. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, polite, and exceptionally professional. She has such a naturally calming energy that immediately put both us and our children at ease.
Our boys felt completely comfortable with her, which speaks volumes about her kind and reassuring nature. It was clear that she was attentive, engaged, and genuinely caring throughout her time with them. Even our cat’s who are typically very shy around new people were relaxed and comfortable in her presence, which is rare and says so much about her gentle demeanour.
Iva is reliable, composed, and thoughtful in everything she does. We felt confident and reassured knowing our children were in such capable hands. We will absolutely be using her services again in the near future and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and wonderful babysitter.

We started with Kerry when our daughter was 1 year old for a full week, 9-5, so I was worrying about how she would take it. I was amazed at how quickly she adjusted – settling took less than a week and she always goes there with a smile, often forgetting to say bye to us! They do so many various activities with the kids and have a beautiful garden, much better than our local nurseries and playgrounds.
Kerry updates us on our little one's routine with photos and is often available to chat even in the evening. Our daughter has made friends there and is developing very well.
We are very grateful to Kerry, Nanny K and Jackie for such lovely care of our daughter and feel very lucky that we have found such a wonderful childminder for our little one.

Nia was absolutely fantastic with my 4yo son. They clicked immediately and he was very happy to stay with her while
I went to an event. She is naturally warm and clearly has a lot of experience with children.
She accepted the booking at very short notice (same day) and was fast with communication, and she arrived on time.
She will be our go-to babysitter anytime were in Edinburgh.
Absolutely amazing service 👏 ❤️ went over and beyond to take care of the babies my little boy was sick during the hours joy had the children. Joy kept us updated and changed all bedding and our baby boy. Joy is a very calm kind lady and amazing with little ones. I also have a teenager with autism and she took to joy straight away! Which is very unusual as she lives in her bedroom hehe! Overall 10/10 service and definitely be having her over again to take care of the children 😀
Ana has been fantastic in supporting our daughter - tutoring in maths, English and verbal reasoning in our home. She has always been punctual and communicates really clearly with us. We have seen a really positive change in our daughter's attitude and concentration levels. We can't recommend her enough.
Finding the right person to care for our little one was really challenging, but if you are looking for someone who provides a nurturing, genuinely loving environment, that's Carmen! (Long review alert! Lol!)
From day one, she created a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s clear that this isn't just a job for her; it’s a passion. Our baby took a little while to settle in, but Carment was so patient!!
From day 1, we have been consistently updated about our child's progress, with lots of photos :)
We even noticed improvements in our child’s social skills, vocabulary, and independence since they started with her. Every week there are new crafts and sensory activities.
Professionalism and Communication? Top tier! We never have to question what's happening because we are always kept in the loop.
Carmen is a rare find. The peace of mind we have knowing our little one is in her care is priceless.
Highly, highly recommended!

We were very lucky to have found such a caring and warm person to look after our little one. Frankie is a very responsible, confident and knowledgeable professional. She has been taking care of our daughter since the age of 11 weeks . Our princess is delighted to spend time with her and is always smiling greeting Frankie . We cannot recommend Frankie enough !
I am really happy with the support my son has received from his tutor. She is patient, encouraging, and explains things in a way that he understands. Since starting, I have seen a real improvement in his confidence, especially when reading and answering questions independently.
She makes the sessions engaging and keeps him focused, while also being kind and supportive. My son feels comfortable asking questions, which has made a big difference to his learning.
I truly appreciate the effort and dedication she puts into helping him progress. Thank you for all your support!
Thank you

Sharon is a wonderful and caring childminder. She has been looking after my son for almost 9 months, starting when he was just 11 months old and I had to return to work. I still remember how emotional I was on the first day, but very quickly I realized he was in the best hands.
Our whole family has grown very attached to her, and we truly treat her like a member of our family. My son loves spending time with Sharon. She organizes creative activities, trips, and walks, and I truly admire her energy and dedication.
My son is bilingual and English is not his first language. At first, I was worried about communication, but those concerns were unnecessary. Now he understands and speaks two languages, which is amazing to see.
I fully trust Sharon and wholeheartedly recommend her as a childminder xx She is truly exceptional xx
Mar has been helping with childcare for our 1 year old for nearly a year now. She has been a really great fit for our family - kind, trustworthy and very reliable. Our son is always very happy to see her. She does lots of activities with him and keeps him really engaged with different things every week and lots of time outside when the weather allows. We would not hesitate to recommend Mar to anyone who is looking for help with childcare.
Luciana has worked for our family for the last 7 years, coming into the role when our eldest daughter was 4 and our twins were babies. She took on the responsibility of caring for all three girls, organising the twins feeds and maintaining a consistent schedule during the day and collecting our our eldest daughter from school. She ensured after-school activities were managed and cooked them all a healthy dinner. Luciana’s professional and nurturing nature allowed us to balance our professional lives without worry.
In addition Luciana has also played an important role in the life of our son, who was born in 2012. She has lovingly looked after him from infancy, providing the same level of attention and care she extended to all of our children.
Throughout the years, Luciana has not only been a fantastic nanny but has truly become a cherished member of our family. Her warmth, kindness, and commitment to our children's happiness have made a lasting impact on our lives. It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye and wholeheartedly recommend her as a nanny. She is a remarkable caregiver and an extraordinary person.

My daughter was cared for by Debbie and Kelly for 2 years before she recently started school.
Her progression in those two years was amazing and I was consistently sent photos of what she had been upto and received home all the lovely things she had made whilst there.
They provide such a loving and nurturing service and i would recommend them to anyone who is nervous about leaving their little ones. From day one they made me feel so comfortable leaving her, knowing she was safe and having fun.
My daughter still regularly sees Kelly doing the school pick up/drop off and always stops for a cuddle and to speak about her day at school.
She would go back tomorrow given the chance!
Qing was so amazing with looking after my 2 year old. At drop off she was a bit emotional since it’s the first she’s being left somewhere new but Qing was so warm and welcoming that she settled down quickly and started playing. I got updates during the day to show how well my LG is getting on. Thanks Qing! Will definitely be using you again to take care of my girl! She loved it!
I’m very happy with our childminder Mehwish. She keeps everything clean and hygienic, and she is truly loving, caring, and patient with the children. My daughter enjoys going to her every day, which says a lot about the warm and positive environment she creates.
She is cooperative, communicates well, and always makes sure the kids are engaged in fun and educational activities. I feel confident and at ease knowing my child is in such safe and caring hands. Highly recommended!
