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 son had an excellent experience with Zafreen Childminder. He started attending when he was 2.5 years old, and from the very beginning, Zafreen proved to be a kind and caring individual who looked after him exceptionally well.
I always felt reassured leaving my son in her care. She provided regular updates, including photos of him playing and enjoying various activities, which gave me great peace of mind. I was particularly concerned about his diet, as he is quite a fussy eater; however, the provision of home-cooked meals was a significant benefit. My son enjoyed the food, and I consistently received updates on what he had eaten each day.
One of the most valuable aspects of Zafreen’s service is her flexibility. She was very accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times, which made it much easier to manage around my work schedule.
Overall, I received excellent support, and I would highly recommend Zafreen to anyone seeking a reliable and caring childminder for their children
Ioana has been absolutely wonderful with David. She is warm, caring, and incredibly attentive, and it’s clear how much she genuinely enjoys spending time with him. David absolutely loves her and is always so happy and engaged when she’s around. She plays with him so thoughtfully and keeps him entertained in such a kind and nurturing way. We feel very lucky to have her looking after him.

My kids were a little nervous about going to a new childminder but they came home having had a great time. Shaida is more than happy to help out at weekends, which is when I very often work and when it is particularly difficult to find OFSTED registered child care. I would highly recommend her.
Our daughter was with them for nearly two years and she loved each moment with her beloved Toto and Stefy. She is with another nursery now but she talks about all her friends, Stefy and Toto. It was splendid working with Family shapes. Stefy is very meticulous in keeping notes and writing everything about what they ate, any incidents or illness in the baby day's app. Excellent service. We were lucky we got the pick up and drop service from them until almost the end. They took care of Mihika like their own and send beautiful picture of her enjoying her time. I wish them all the very best and will always recommend them.
I would absolutely recommend Sofan! From the moment I drop off my child, I feel reassured that they will be safe and have fun throughout the day. What helps this is that I get regular updates from Sofan throughout the day with pics that give me that extra reassurance (tho I do admit it does cause me to miss them; who would've thought lolz?). A very vibrant setting with so much activities for the kids to do with Sofan even taking them on trips :)
Above all, I can always count on my child to be given back to me with a fresh nappy, which is honestly much appreciated.
Thank you so much again Sofan it was a pleasure!
Both of my children have attended Chapel house since they were 9 months old. They thoroughly enjoy spending time with Clare, so much so that on weekends they regularly ask if they can go to Clare’s house. Clare is like another member of our family and our children love her so much.
The communication with parents is brilliant and we know exactly what our children have been up to each day.
Our youngest has some health needs and Clare is great at recognising when these issues are about to arise and alerts us quickly to this. We trust her completely with them.
We’re so lucky to have found Clare to nurture and support our children in their early development and can’t thank her enough for this.
Laura is an exceptional nanny. From day one, she impressed us with her professional approach and her natural ability to connect with our daughter.
She is extremely reliable, punctual, and proactive—always finding creative ways to keep the kids engaged and learning. Beyond her practical skills, her caring nature is what sets her apart.
She handles difficult moments with a calm, gentle authority that the children really respond to. We feel very lucky to have her.
Laura has been a good friend to our family for a number of years and has looked after our three children several times.
Laura has such extensive experience looking after children and young people that there’s really nothing she can’t handle. I feel completely at ease leaving the children with her because I know she understands them and can anticipate and respond to their needs.
Making plans with Laura is very straight forward and she’s entirely reliable. She also has a wealth of knowledge about what’s on in and around Norwich for children.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her

Nancy has honestly been such a blessing to our family. My son Leo can be quite a handful – he’s very boisterous, stubborn and quite clingy – but she has so much patience with him and really understands him in a way that means so much to me. It’s clear she genuinely cares for him, and the fact that he is always so happy and excited to see her says everything.
She is so kind, thoughtful and flexible, especially on the days when I’m running late – she always works with me and never makes me feel stressed or judged. It doesn’t feel like I’m just leaving my child with a childminder, it honestly feels like leaving him with someone I trust completely, like a friend.
I couldn’t recommend Nancy enough. She is amazing at what she does and I feel so lucky to have found her. I would 100% continue using her for all my children – she’s truly one of a kind.
Flori has looked after our little boy for the past 2 and a half years. In the time he has been with her there has not been a day where he has not wanted to go or come home with lots of stories about all the fun he has had with Flori and his friends.
Flori is kind, attentive and patient with all the kids, she knows how to interact with them at her level and get the best out of them.
My little boy has developed emotionally and academically in the past 2 years and Flori has had a massive part of this. She creates such an amazing environment for them to learn and often sets up activities for them to get involved with each day. A day with Flori is filled with learning, fun and love.
We are so sad to be leaving as our little boy is going to school, but Flori has made such an impact on our family we will ALL never forget her.
I can’t recommend her highly enough, she is a true gem.
I can’t recommend her enough. She is so caring and treats the children like her own, always making me feel comfortable and at ease from the very start. My children love going and are excited every day, to the point they call her Auntie Beenish. She has also gone above and beyond to support my son with additional needs, which means so much to me.
Bowmee has been great with my autistic son. He took to her right away and her previous experience working in a school shows when she is dealing with him. Lovely to also benefit from her occupational therapy skills as well.
Very lovely and easy to deal with.
Highly recommended!
We’ve been having a really difficult couple of weeks with silent reflux and sleep and so hunted online to find someone to help. Ellie got back and we’re so grateful she did - this woman is a marvel and a complete baby whisperer! Baby boy went from being unable to go down in his cot for a solid week and a half to proper stretches straight away and we both got the first good nights sleep since he’s been born. She gave us some really good advice across the board so we got much more than someone who just put in a night shift. She is so professional, experienced and caring and we will definitely be using her again where she has space. Thank you Ellie!! Xx
Thank you so much for your care and attention to detail. I’m sure I’ll need your help again in the future. I’m really glad I found you and that everything worked out so well. Most importantly, my son was happy to be with you, and it was lovely to see how happy he was when you returned home from the walk.
See you soon, Vera.
Amy is a fantastic, nurturing childminder whom I highly recommend. She has cared for both of my daughters over the years and consistently goes above and beyond. From local playgroups and days out to creative, educational 'tuff tray' setups at home, she provides a fun and stimulating environment. She is incredibly kind and truly loves what she does.
My youngest son loves spending time with her she goes over and above and shes always works around you ! shes always reliable and i will always trust her with my children
