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.
We have been using Suneetha for about 7 months, and she has been great with our 8-year-old son. It’s often hard to find someone who strikes the right balance for older children, but Suneetha does a great job. She provides a safe, fun, respectful and loving environment where he feels like one of the family.
She is very reliable, communicative, flexible with the days and hours, and goes above and beyond — such as with school homework and helping us with emergencies and family activities.
Suneetha ensures the children have a nutritious snacks/meals, that they learn and interact nicely and politely with eachother.
My son also has great fun with Suneetha's husband who is now a registered childminder, much to the children's delight.
Most importantly, my son genuinely looks forward to going there. We couldn’t ask for better peace of mind!

My little boy absolutely loves attending, he is so well looked after and always does such fun & different activities. Sonata and her family are so kind and genuinely care about all the children. Sonata is great with communication and it is so nice to get updates throughout the day including what he has eaten.
My daughter no longer attends as she is at school & she misses it so much!
My daughter has been going to Natalie since September and loves going. Natalie does so much with her, going out to the park, to play group and also doing crafts, lots of playing and learning. We couldn't be happier. We receive lots of photos and updates throughout the day which is great.
It's so hard to find anyone else like Cassie. My boy is so happy there, he has made friends, he is always coming home with new bits of Art, he eats well, there is so much opportunity for free play, they go out, he is learning independence, his language is exceeding for his age and communication from Cassie is so good. I often get pictures of my boy playing and having fun which is super reassuring to know he is happy and well. I am sad to leave and I know my boy will be too. Thank you Cassie!
Karen has been our childminder for our daughter from a very young age. She has truely had a massively positive impact on the special girl our daughter is today. Karen treats every child as an individual and incorporates learning into fun tasks. A massive part for us was finding somebody we trust and would have time to invest into her not just sit and watch her and we could not have asked for better. Karen sends you updates from their day and gives books and learning to complete at home from themes they have been focusing on ie Christmas. From 9 months to 4 years old, Karen has been a key part of our daughter’s upbringing and you would be truly lucky to have her in your child’s story.
I could not recommend Jenny enough. After a bad experience at a nursery, my daughter started with Jenny at just 2 years old and she absolutely thrived.
Jenny created such a supportive, caring environment where our daughter felt safe, happy, and understood. She always listened to any concerns we had and reassured us every step of the way, which gave us so much confidence as parents.
Our daughter became so happy and confident while in Jenny’s care and absolutely loved going (she even asked to go to Jennys during the Christmas break).
We will always be incredibly grateful to Jenny for the positive impact she had on our daughter.
Sonata has looked after my little boy since he was only 9 months old and he has enjoyed every single day at the setting! There is always so much for the children to do, Sonata puts so much effort into their daily activities, the children are learning new things every day. He eats like a King at Sonatas, with their home cooked meals everyday. Sonata also goes above and beyond by providing external activities for the children, such as a weekly sports class and Spanish lessons, having such a variety in their week is amazing. Using the baby days app is a great way of communicating, seeing what has been eaten, how long they have napped, and any photos from the day. We are so lucky we found Sonata!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my children receive. Sarah is an amazing childminder who truly goes above and beyond. The kids are always learning new things and enjoy a wide variety of fun and educational activities every day. She is very proactive, creative, and genuinely invested in their development.
As a single mother, I especially appreciate how flexible, supportive, and understanding she is — it makes such a difference knowing my children are in safe, caring, and capable hands. I feel completely confident leaving my children with her and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for excellent childcare.

My daughter was off school due to the strike and stayed with Parveen for two weeks. Parveen welcomed her so warmly and was incredibly caring throughout. Her home is spotlessly clean, and she treats the children in the best possible way—we witnessed this ourselves.
She made sure Nell was entertained every day in different ways, including trips to bouncy castles, playgrounds, and soft play. In addition, she supported Nell with her school assignments and encouraged her to complete them.
We were so lucky to find Parveen, and I highly recommend her as an excellent childminder.
Bonding School Nursery did an amazing job at helping me register my son. The registration process was very quick and easy. Teamara and her team were super helpful and I’m really excited for my son to join their superhero team!

We’ve had such a lovely experience with Madhu at Puddles over the past three months. From the very beginning, she made both Lily and us feel completely at ease. It was clear straight away how caring and calm she is, and how much she genuinely loves what she does. She allowed our daughter to nap in her buggy which is very rare and what our child needed at the time.
Our 10 months has clearly felt safe, happy and nurtured in Madhu’s care. She’s been given so much individual attention, affection and encouragement, and it’s been wonderful to see her confidence grow during her time there. Madhu creates a really warm, homely environment, with thoughtful activities that support development while still allowing the children to just be little and have fun.
Communication has always been excellent — Madhu is incredibly reassuring, thoughtful and considerate, and we’ve always felt fully informed and confident that Lily was being very well cared for. My feedback would be for Madhu to allow parents to drop the child inside the environment rather than from the door.
We’re so grateful for the care and kindness Madhu has shown our child and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Puddles to any parent looking for a nurturing, trustworthy and genuinely loving childminder.

Zeb and Beri,
I wanted to take a moment to share how grateful we are for the care and support you provide for N. You have been nothing short of amazing for our family.
From the beginning, you’ve created a warm, safe and nurturing environment where N can truly flourish and grow. The way you hold space for her is so clear in how confident and settled she is with you. You meet her where she is, encourage her gently, and support her to explore, learn and build independence at her own pace.
You also do an exceptional job supporting N’s development. The observations, updates and detailed reports you provide give me real confidence that you know her well and are actively tracking her progress. It’s evident that you take time to understand her needs and interests and use that to support her learning in a thoughtful, intentional way.
You are also proactive, clear and caring, and it has built genuine trust. I always feel informed and reassured because I know N is in safe hands and her needs are taken seriously.
Thank you for everything you do for N. We feel very lucky to have you both, and we truly appreciate the care, professionalism and warmth you bring every day.
Love Melissa & Ray
Sanae has been looking after our baby several times and she’s been brilliant with him! Sanae brings a ton of experience, enthusiasm and patience. She’s even managed to give our son the bottle (he refuses with us) and he loves playing with her! Always reliable and on time, I cannot recommend Sunny enough
I cannot rave more about Corinne and the care she has provided to my little boy. My son comes with a medical condition which can come with short notice changes in medication and dietary changes and Corinne has been nothing but supportive and understanding of these at every step of the way. Maddox absolute adores Corinne and he has become such a confident little boy under her care and guidance. The variety of play and education she provides means the kids are never bored and she goes above and beyond for all of “her kids”. We are going to miss her so much when Maddox moves on to school - absolute legend is all I can say xx
Catriona looked after my 1-year-old and 9-year-old on a couple of occasions, and I was really impressed. Both of my children felt completely settled and at ease with her, which speaks volumes about her calm and caring nature. She is reliable, warm, and great at engaging with children of very different ages. I will be using Catriona in the future!
I highly recommend Laura’s Little Lovelies. Laura’s setting truly feels like a home from home and is full of enrichment, learning, and fun activities for the children. Laura and Steph are incredibly nurturing and they genuinely care about each child as an individual, which really shows in how happy and settled the children are.
When our son first joined, he had very limited communication skills, and I was so worried about how he would cope. Laura and Steph made sure all of his needs were met, constantly reassured us, and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind.
Since being there, his speech and language skills have improved massively, and Laura supported him every step of the way.
I’m so glad we chose Laura’s Little Lovelies and couldn’t recommend them enough.
Catriona created a warm and safe place when she took on the role of childminder for my two neurodivergent sons last summer.
She gave them space to take to her, and took them to the park often, and also did arty and crafting activities with them.
I would use her again in a heartbeat and my boys loved her.

Huma started caring for our daughter when she was around 15 months old, and from our very first meeting we knew she was special. Our daughter was very clingy at the time, yet Huma instantly put her at ease through gentle play and warmth, which gave us immediate confidence.
Our daughter has additional medical needs that require careful monitoring. Huma approached this with complete calm and professionalism, welcomed guidance from healthcare professionals, and keeps us updated every day. As a parent, the peace of mind this has given us — especially when returning to work — has been invaluable.
Now at 2 years and 8 months old, our daughter is thriving. She is genuinely happy to go each morning and comes home content and settled. Huma provides a loving, nurturing environment with nutritious home-cooked meals, regular updates with photos and videos, outings, birthday celebrations, and a truly inclusive approach that celebrates all cultures and festivals.
What sets Huma apart is how deeply she cares. She goes above and beyond for both the children and their families, and has truly become like extended family to us — something that means so much as we don’t have family nearby. Her assistant is also wonderful: kind, friendly, and clearly loved by the children.
Choosing Huma has been one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her in our lives.
