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 are incredibly grateful to have such a caring and reliable vhildminder like Naila. She is kind, patient, and truly pays attention to the children’s needs. She creates a safe, loving environment and is always punctual and trustworthy. Our children adore her, and we’ve seen such positive growth and happiness under her care. Our kids love her food and always returns home full. We highly recommend her to any family
Coleen is absolutely incredible she looked after my little girl for just over a year and Colleen's dedication to the children was incredible. My daughter came on so far whilst in Colleen's care and also completed potty training! Coleen will always go above and beyond for all the children in her care and honestly you wont have a better person looking after your child/children.
Ayse has been helping us with our 6yo since May 2025, picking her up two afternoons a week plus extra occasional evenings. Our daughter took to her from their first meeting and things have been going strongly ever since. We appreciate Ayse's warmth, creativity, kindness, and initiative - as well as being led by our daughter's interests, she also regularly introduces her to new games and activities that are always well-received. With us parents she is professional and precise in her communications, and thorough about checking about any preferences, requirements, and other important information. We are so glad to have met Ayse through this website and have her in our daughter's life!

Zainab is an absolutely amazing childminder and I couldn’t recommend her enough. From the very start she was warm, welcoming and caring . You can really see how much love and attention she puts into her care.
What stood out to me the most was how understanding and accommodating she was . Whenever I needed flexibility she handled everything with patience and kindness. There was never any judgement or negativity, just constant professionalism and compassion. That kind of attitude makes such a big difference as a parent and isn’t something you come across often.
Her communication was always excellent . I always felt informed and confident about my daughter’s day, her progress and her wellbeing. I never once felt anxious leaving my child with her because I knew she was in safe, capable and loving hands.
The environment she creates is calm, nurturing and supportive, it’s clear she truly cares about the children she looks after, not just as a job but as a responsibility she takes with heart.
I genuinely have nothing negative to say about my experience with Zainab. She made what can be a stressful part of parenting feel safe and manageable, and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for. Any parent would be lucky to have their child in her care!
We are very happy with Emily. She did a wonderful job looking after two 9-year-old boys. She was kind, attentive and actively engaged them in games and activities. The boys really enjoyed their time with Emily. We would happily recommend her and would be glad to work with again.

I can't recommend Carmel highly enough. Both my children spent time in her setting from age 1 to going to nursery school aged 3, and then occasional times after that as we all missed Carmel! She is the most wonderful childminder, caring, dedicated and highly knowledgeable about children's developmental milestones. I always felt completely confident in her and I know both my children loved their time with her and benefited enormously from her nurturing and engaging setting. Carmel created beautiful scrapbooks of the children's time with her that we still love to look through. At one point my daughter asked about a friend "does she have a Carmel?" meaning does she have a childminder - we wish that all children could have our Carmel! We will always be grateful to Carmel for the huge and valuable contribution she made to our children's early years.
My son has been with GMB for three months now, and it has been the most pleasant and reassuring experience. He genuinely enjoys going and is always greeted with a smile on his face each morning when he’s dropped off. I was initially very nervous about leaving my son with any childcare provider, but GMB has completely put my mind at ease. She is a truly caring, kind, and attentive woman, and I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend her to anyone seeking a safe and nurturing childcare environment for their children.
Naila is a very kind and responsible person. She takes very good care of my daughters. They enjoy staying with her and they are always feel safe and happy. I highly recommend her!
Juilette is a brilliant tutor for my son. Despite his young age Juilette is able to capture his attention for the full hour, and tailors the sessions for him. He has grown loads under her guidance and this has been picked up by the school. He thoroughly enjoys his maths sessions and looks forward to them every week. She really puts the children at the heart of her planning. Couldn’t recommend enough.

My son went to Micky from 10 months old and it was the best start for him.
Micky taught him so much and he always looked forward to going there, even now he has great memories during his time with Micky.
Micky is great with the children and understand their needs.
I highly recommend wonderful Micky 😊
Nanny Hannah is truly amazing. I have three young children who are full of energy and can be quite challenging at times, yet Hannah handles them with such ease and understanding. She has a wonderful ability to help regulate their emotions and always makes them feel calm, safe, and happy.
Hannah has fitted into our family seamlessly, and it’s hard to imagine finding anyone as special as her. She is incredibly kind, patient, and loving with the children, and she consistently goes above and beyond in everything she does. We feel so lucky to have her.
We absolutely recommend Renata; she has been absolutely incredible for our child’s growth and happiness. From day one, she has created a warm, nurturing environment that feels like a second home, yet is perfectly designed to be a stimulating and developing space.
Her knowledge of the EYFS framework is truly impressive. She doesn’t just 'watch' the children; she intentionally guides their development, ensuring they are hitting milestones through play and engagement. We are also so impressed by her commitment to health by growing her own fruit and vegetables in her allotment to provide the children with fresh, nutritious meals.
What truly sets her apart is how she bridges the gap between her setting and our home. She takes a genuine interest in what we are doing at home and thoughtfully incorporates those interests and themes into her daily activities. Furthermore, she has been an invaluable support to us, offering expert guidance on how to continue that development and learning at home.
She is a fantastic professional and a wonderful person who is always thinking about the child first. She has made such a huge difference in our lives.
Carmel is a warm, fun and caring childminder to our children. We are very grateful to her.
She started with our eldest when he was 2.5 years (he's now in Year 1). He had not enjoyed his time in nursery but from the first day with Carmel he was happy and quickly developed a close bond with her. We're lucky that our second is now with her and has beem for 1.5 years.
Something we really appreciate is that the children get to do all sorts of things with her, both inside her home and out and about. Taking the bus to Children's Groups, Library, Museums, Soft Play, City Farms, The Local Community Garden (Allotments), Parks, etc. This was a massive plus for us since our experience of Nursery was that children stay in the same place most of the time.
Her home set up is great, she cooks with the kids, does arts and crafts and has plenty of toys and games to keep the children engaged. She has helped our children potty train and get introduced to phonics and numbers.
Carmel feels more like family than anything else, which is a lovely thing for nursery aged children - they need a safe and caring place.
I have known this provider for over 10 years and have no hesitation entrusting my children to her care or recommending her to those looling for childcare. She is extremely reliable, caring and very safety conscious. Her wealth of experience with nursery and school age children is clear in the care that she delivers. I have also found that she tries to be as flexible as possible and is always quick to reply.
I am not over exaggerating when I say Liz has changed our families lives. Liz supported us in getting our 14 month old to sleep, a task we never thought would be possible but she managed it with ease. He is now sleeping 12 plus hours a night and we not only feel more confident but we have our evenings back! Liz didn’t stop there though and has supported us with naps and checked in to see how everything is going since. What struck me about Liz was how caring she was for my son, she truly cared about him and how he was feeling as well as us. Thankyou for everything Liz!
My little one really enjoys attending Gilly's Gigglepots. He settled very well into the setting and had some settling in sessions to support this. Gilly is a happy and fun soul and is so enthusiastic, she was born to care for children. She has such a kind and caring personality. My child adores her and has made some lovely friendships. Gilly also sends lots of photos throughout the day which is very reassuring. Thanks Gilly for everything you do x
Lois popped in for a pre-meeting and stayed an hour just being amazing.
Turned up at an early start 7am to look after my son - a big days care!
She had him playing with minecraft blocks, roleplay and KPop demonhunter songs, then played Dobe helping his pattern recognition.
After lunch it was hide and seek inside, and then they went for a lovely walk in the snowy park playing nerf hide and seek.
After snack was pattern 2D math challenge and drawing challenge.
Quitely an amazing day that I was very jealous of!
It was lovely coming home to a happy child, tidied house and two very tired people after a day of play!!!
Thank you Lois, your time with R was a gift.
