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.
Unfortunately our timings didn't work out together to actually have Chloe babysit for us, so my review is only based on our communication.
I wanted to add this review in as speaking with Chloe was so quick and easy - therefore reassuring.
Thanks for responding quickly and letting me know what was going on with you - both times.
I hope you have a lovely time away from it.

Lacey was a dream to be around. We have had her baby sit and accompany us on a work trip over night. She instinctively knew when to take Albert from which was amazing. He loves her and we trust her. I would 100% recommend Lacey and happy to have a call to chat about it too.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my child receives. From the very first meeting, it was clear that both the childminder and her assistant are dedicated, professional, and genuinely caring.
They work wonderfully as a team and create a warm, safe, and welcoming environment.
Most importantly, my child is happy, settled, and excited to go each day. That alone speaks volumes.
I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy, nurturing, and professional childminder.
Laura looked after our baby daughter from around four months old for a few months, a couple of days a week during school hours. She was caring and gentle, and our little one bonded with her easily. Laura was great at settling her to sleep, feeding her, playing with her, and keeping her happy. She was also reliable and flexible when we needed to adjust our schedule. We were really pleased with her care and happy to recommend her.
I honestly cannot recommend Aunty Nike enough. She has been an absolute blessing to my family. My first son has been with her since he was just 2 years old, and he is now 4. Seeing how much he has grown emotionally, socially, and confidently under her care has been truly amazing. When it was time for my second child, there was no hesitation at all, as I my 1-year-old joined her at just 9 months old, and the love and care has been just as exceptional.
Aunty Nike doesn’t just “watch” children; she nurtures them as if they are her own. She is patient, kind, attentive, and incredibly intentional about each child’s development. My children feel safe, loved, and happy with her, and as a parent, that peace of mind is priceless.
Her environment is warm, structured, and stimulating. She pays close attention to routines, learning, play, and emotional well-being, and it clearly shows in how settled and confident my children are. Communication is excellent, and she keeps me informed and reassured every step of the way.
If you are looking for someone who will genuinely love, care for, and invest in your child’s growth like family, Aunty Nike is the one. I am beyond grateful for her and would recommend her without reservation to any parent.
I’ve had bad experiences with childminder before when they just let them play and don’t actually follow any curriculum. Katie is amazing to ensure all developmental milestones are exercised. They are sooo creative with their activities. Each week there is a new theme. They have trips out and visitors. I could not be happier here. I’m very lucky to have found her. They are great with communication and really fourth-coming with embracing and even celebrating other cultural events. The team all work so hard. They are really fair with their fee’s. Really flexible which exactly what i needed. Would 100% unequivocally recommend!
I am very pleased with the care provided to my daughter, Fatma. It has always been clear that her best interests are the top priority.
Her developmental progress has been noticeable and positive. The childminder goes above and beyond by providing thoughtful support, including toys and learning materials for home use, along with kind gestures that reflect genuine care.
I truly appreciate the professionalism, dedication, and kindness shown throughout.
Due to childcare issues I needed help again from Lisa. I had previously had her support when my son was a newborn.
Lisa helped straight away and came to look after him within a week’s notice! It was amazing, she is so caring - it feels like she’s part of the family. My son (now two) lists Lisa as his friend and loves to eat the batch meals she’s made, calling them ‘Lisa pies’. She is so thoughtful with her planning and he is never bored when she is around. They go out together to the park, library, toddler classes and also play at home with her homemade playdough! It’s so lovely knowing my son is having a great time.
I am forever grateful to Lisa and I’m so glad she came into our lives.
Simone is truly passionate about working with children. We have been incredibly impressed with everything she has done for our son.
He joined her setting a year ago, barely speaking after previously attending a nursery. We had even been advised to arrange a speech and language assessment. In the end, it turned out he was absolutely fine — he simply needed a warm, friendly environment where he felt safe enough to open up. He found that with Simone and Brian.
Now, instead of crying, he runs in happily at drop-off.
Thanks to them, our son now speaks both English and our native language confidently. At just 3.5 years old, he already recognises letters and can count to 20. Beyond his learning progress, his behaviour has improved so much. He has far fewer tantrums, is well behaved, and understands the importance of good manners — taking his shoes off, saying “please” and “thank you,” and washing his hands without being reminded.
Potty training was also a smooth and easy process because we were able to work closely with Simone to achieve it together. We regularly receive videos of the children’s daily activities, which is so reassuring.
We are genuinely happy that we chose Simone and Brian to care for our child.

Bubbles is the best thing that ever happened to our child and our family! We had such a stressful start to our journey with our initial childminder letting us down horrifically and had lot all hope, but then we found our home. Thank you for all of the love, support, nurturing and encouragement. If you want your child to be looked after by people who genuinely care, Bubbles is the only place to look. They literally live to give love, care and the best start to every child that walks through their door. We honestly don’t trust the care of our child with our own extended family, as much as we do with Bubbles. I am always happy to provide a reference, I would be recommending them even when my child is 20 😃
Shell is everything you would want in a childminder. I was so apprehensive about leaving my eldest son when it was time to go back to work but Shell made it so easy on us both. I knew he was being looked after and he settled in so quickly and loves going to Shell’s. We now have 2 boys and they are both so excited on ‘Shell days’ that they rush to get ready to leave the house, I can’t keep up. Shell puts so much effort into her job. They go out nearly every day to amazing places and she makes sure she provides them with fun experiences. She’s really helped them develop their life skills and pre school education and whenever we drop off and pick up the whole group seem really contented and playing together happily. Would highly recommend! We feel so lucky to have found her.
Parisa has been a fantastic childminder to our 16 months old Twins. She has been taking care of them for the last 5 months and we fall short of words to thank her for her service. She is kind, patient and makes everyday a worthwhile for our little learners. She takes them to the park, softplays, gardens and also at her nursery setting has introduced them to a lot of educational and sensory plays. She provides tasty meals and healthy snacks every day. Our little ones have grown so much of attachment to her in a very short span of time. We are very happy with her services and would highly recommend her.
Francoise is the most amazing childminder I have ever met. She is kind to children, companionate, respectful and so patient. She offers a breadth of activities that are BEYOND this world. Her whole garden is a fairy place with lots of sensory activities and an amazing cabin with playdough, dressing up, role play, dens, books, mud kitchens, and many more. The moment I step into Francoise's house I was amazed by what she was offering.
She takes care so well of the children, takes them to amazing places and puts all her heart into making them happy.
Francoise, you have been instrumental in the development of our daughter and we thank you a million for everything you did for her.

Lynda has looked after my toddler three times now and she has been absolutely fantastic! She is professional, friendly and knowledgeable. She was always on time and communication was great. My son was immediately at ease with her and they went off playing together without any fuss on his part. I could tell he really enjoyed playing with her and showing her his toys. Lynda also looked after my son when he was not feeling too well and she was very caring and attentive with him. I can’t recommend her enough!

Dolly looked after my 3 children (then aged 10,10 and 12) as an after school nanny for 2 school years. She would pick the younger ones from school, take them to activities on some days, make the family an evening meal a few days a week. Dolly was great with the kids, very professional, tidy, always punctual and reliable. I would highly recommend Dolly as an after school nanny and babysitter.

Nicky is with us at the moment, she is the most amazing nanny and I can't recommend her highly enough! She will be leaving us in the summer only because my older one is now at school and my little one is going to pre-school, but I wish she could stay forever!
Nicky is so kind and caring, my kids love her (and often shout this from the door as she leaves!). They are happy to go to her in the morning and always come home smiling and happy. She is also extremely competent and experienced, so I never have to worry about anything - she takes the stress out of childcare. She organises fun and action packed days at local playgroups, classes and time with other nannies/ kids, as well as necessary downtime and age-appropriate learning. As a busy household of working parents, we also appreciate that she takes care of the kids meals, is always punctual, leaves things tidier than she finds them and babysits. We are excited for her to find her next family!

I feel so incredibly lucky to have found Aliya. She is such a warm, friendly and honestly, amazing babysitter. From the very beginning, she made me feel completely at ease leaving my 10-month old in her care. She is so patient, attentive and really cares about the kids she looks after. I’ve seen such a positive difference in my daughter, she was so happy, engaged, and comfortable around her. It’s clear Aliya creates a loving and nurturing environment. Her communication is always great and she keeps me reassured. Knowing my baby is in such capable and caring hands gives me complete peace of mind.
I honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is absolutely wonderful at what she does! :))) xx
