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.
I honestly can’t put into words how amazing 3 Little Birds Tiny Nursery Home is. There is truly nobody else I trust more than these incredible ladies to take care of my babies—they care for them as if they were their own.
The environment is so warm, loving, and full of happiness. The staff are always kind, positive, and genuinely dedicated to the children. You can feel the care the moment you walk in. And on top of that, they’re amazing cooks—my children have always been so well looked after in every way.
My first son attended until he was three, and now my second son has been there since he was just nine months old—he’s now two and a half—and I couldn’t be happier. Seeing how comfortable, happy, and well cared for they both are gives me complete peace of mind.
There is truly nowhere else I would rather have my children. I’m so grateful for everything they do every single day. 💛

My daughter immediately connected with Rachel and wanted to do alllll the things, a great early indicator. Speaking to Rachel, great care is taken to check and adhere to rules and routines, making me confident my daughter is in good hands. Rachel is also punctual and professional, whilst still being friendly and engaging. We are very happy to have found her.

Siobhan worked as a nanny housekeeper for us in a temporary role and a subsequent permanent role. She is organised and efficient and is able to use her own initiative. She was fun and energetic with the children, organising many outings and activities. She was flexible with hours and completely reliable. I would recommend her for nanny, housekeeper or PA roles.
She brings a warm, patient presence, comforting children with gentle communication and attentive care.
She follows routines, ensures safety, and keeps kids engaged with age-appropriate activities.
She’s reliable and available when needed, communicating clearly with parents about goals and progress.
And most important my child loves her... She makes her happy
Pooja looked after my 4-year-old son during his Easter school holidays, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From day one, he felt completely comfortable—he didn’t cry once, which says everything about how warm and welcoming the environment is.
She creates a lovely balance between fun and learning, with plenty of toys and engaging activities that kept him happy and stimulated throughout. It really felt like a home-from-home setting, and her family are just as kind and caring, which made a big difference.
It’s such a relief as a parent to know your child is safe, happy, and well cared for. My son is already looking forward to going back during the May holidays, which speaks volumes!
I would highly recommend Pooja to any parents in the Manchester/Salford area looking for a reliable, nurturing, and friendly childminder—especially if you want your child to feel truly at ease.

We were very lucky to have such an amazing babysitter while living in the UK. She cared for our 4-year-old and our 6-year-old with special needs with great patience, kindness, and professionalism.
She built a strong bond with both children and supported our older child’s needs with real understanding and compassion. She was always available when we needed her, and thanks to her, we were able to spend quality time together and build a stronger family bond.
Reliable, flexible, and genuinely caring—we highly recommend her to any family.

I was very worried about leaving my daughter when she was 6 months old to go back to work but Carol made it all so easy. She is fun and outgoing and made her home so open to us.
Her and my daughter got on amazingly and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. My daughter has been with Carol for 3 years now.
Carol takes the children to the farm, the zoo, water parks and even when the weather isn’t great, has her own play house at the back of her house. She taught my daughter to become a confident walker and a very happy talker!
Carol is caring, helpful and my daughter adores her.
As a first time mom I was super nervous about leaving my baby, however Tatyana has been so excellent, so professional and warming that any apprehensions I had, have gone!
She cares so much about the children, their development and of course fun! Each day they are given fun filled educated activities to help them understand our world better. Super creative sessions for them, I love seeing what my son has made and later comes home with!
The setting is exceptionally clean, everything is organised which gives me so much peace as a mum! She even makes the children such thought through food for the children.
She has learnt my little boy so well, his needs, his likes and dislikes which is so comforting. He loves going to the nursery.
Tatyana’s communication is exceptional, we are always updated with things happening at the nursery, events, topics they are learning about - she really is a great great childminder! Highly recommended
Charlotte is a brilliant childminder, who's taken great care of, and nurtured our two children.
She has a brilliant way with the little ones in her care, creating a friendly, loving and exciting environment. Both our girls were immediately comfortable and happy with her in her lovely home setting. My youngest comes back full of excitement every day, talking about what she's learned and their activities.
Charlotte is laid back, flexible and helpful, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Her support has really allowed our children to thrive and helped us navigate the early years of parenting. Highly reocmmend.
Vanessa worked with our family on and off for around four years, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her supporting us during that time.
She cared for our daughter during busy periods and provided consistent, reliable help with day-to-day routines. Vanessa has a very calm and reassuring presence, which made a huge difference in our home. She was always patient, attentive, and genuinely engaged, creating a safe and positive environment for our child.
One thing we particularly valued was her ability to connect on a deeper level. With her background and natural empathy, she handled situations thoughtfully and with maturity. Our daughter felt comfortable with her from the beginning, which speaks volumes.
As I am Portuguese, it was important to me that my daughter continued to have exposure to the language. Vanessa supported this naturally in her interactions, which I really appreciated.
We also have a cat, and Vanessa was very comfortable around it and helped care for it when needed, which was an added bonus for our family.
She was always punctual, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. We felt completely at ease leaving our daughter in her care.
We only stopped working with Vanessa because we relocated to Ireland last October, as my wife is originally from there. Otherwise, we would have continued working with her without hesitation.
I would highly recommend Vanessa to any family looking for someone dependable, kind, and genuinely invested in children’s wellbeing and development.
We’ve had a really positive experience with Ana as our baby’s first childminder. We started sending our daughter at 9 months old, and naturally she was quite nervous during the first week. However, with Ana’s warm and attentive care, she has settled in well and is now clearly enjoying her time there.
It’s been lovely to see her becoming more comfortable and starting to interact happily with the other children. Ana is very responsive and keeps us regularly updated on how our baby is getting on throughout the day, which is incredibly reassuring.
We also really appreciate how open and collaborative Ana is—she takes the time to understand our baby’s individual needs and works with us to support her development. Overall, we feel very confident and happy with the care provided.😊
We have been using Cheryl for a few months now. My daughter was 10 months when she started and I was really nervous to be leaving her for the first time. We visited many childminders and I am so pleased we decided to go with Cheryl, my daughter goes in with open arms in the morning and always comes home a very happy girl. Cheryl provides updates and photos throughout the day which is really lovely and definitely makes leaving her so much easier. I am so happy with how she has settled in and that’s all down to the care Cheryl has given. No question was ever too much and being a first time mum leaving their baby I got all the reassurance I felt I needed. Thank you for continuing to do such a great job xx

She was nice in the beginning but rejected my son because of his special needs. Its been almost two years now and I still feel sad/broken about that. My son attended less than two weeks at her setting. I saw the body language and discussions.
I decided to start searching on this platform again not knowing she already informed few minders about me. Two different minders replied to ask why I'm changing settings so soon. I wonder how they knew, then I discovered she told the local minders about me which I found weird, unkind and unnecessary. I explained the situation to a lovely minder who advised me on how to navigate my situation. She could have just communicated that and not just rejected and not keeping things confidential. I'm so glad my son is getting all the help and support he required since that time. Some things just never go away.
Virginia arranged to start work with our family and did not show up several times despite confirming that she would start. The last time, she did not even message or call to let us know she won’t be coming. I called, she didn’t answer the phone then finally replied to my message saying she was not coming and told me not to message her again. She has left me stranded with childcare on several occasions. Very unreliable
Lucy is amazing and she knows her stuff! She is very well educated on child care and education. She is so kind and patient. My son has a great time with her and she has the magic touch to get him to bed easy.
Lucy has been babysitting my son (now 18 months) periodically for over 7 months now and I highly recommend her services.
I was a nervous mum who was anxious to leave her son with a stranger but Lucy was easy to talk to and I instantly knew she was a safe person for my son. She was mindful of my son’s food allergy and educated on food safety for babies. She worked with him on sign language and development as well.
I cannot say enough about how great she is!
Jolene
An exceptional nanny who has cared for our children with warmth, professionalism, and consistency, and who we have trusted completely as a family.
We have been incredibly lucky to have Anna as our nanny, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any family. She has cared for our son and daughter with genuine kindness, patience, and attentiveness, always prioritising their wellbeing, development, and happiness.
Anna is reliable, calm, and highly organised, providing a lovely balance of routine and flexibility. She communicated clearly with us as parents, was proactive in sharing updates, and handled day‑to‑day care with confidence and thoughtfulness. She has become a trusted and valued part of our family, and we are very sad to be losing her. Any family would be extremely fortunate to have her care for their children.

Maryam is a really lovely lady and a wonderful babysitter. We needed a babysitter for our 5 month old for an afternoon when we visited London. I was very nervous leaving my little boy with a stranger but Maryam was excellent at communicating and we had a video chat before we visited which put my mind at ease.
She turned up on time to our hotel and was very friendly and kind. She was also very natural with our little boy which was comforting. Additionally Maryam helped out when I had left my glasses at the hotel and brought them to me whilst bringing our little boy for a walk. She is a real star! I highly recommend her! ⭐️🏆🥰

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Donna as Emily’s childminder for the past three years. From the very beginning, it was clear how much care, attention, and genuine affection Donna brings to the children she looks after.
What really sets Donna apart is the way she remembers and responds to the little details that make each child feel special. Whether it’s knowing that Emily prefers her sauce on the side or going out of her way to buy her favourite yoghurt, those thoughtful touches mean so much. She even makes personalised water bottles so every child feels part of the family.
Emily has absolutely loved her time with Donna. From rhyme time and playgroups to trips to the park in the “Donna Bus,” every day is filled with fun, laughter, and little in-jokes that make the experience so special. Alongside all of this, Donna has supported Emily’s development brilliantly, helping her build confidence in counting and early literacy, while also nurturing the softer, more important skills like good manners (“good manners, not naughty manners!”), taking turns, and showing consideration for others.
Donna is consistently warm, compassionate, and enthusiastic. In all our time with her, we’ve never seen her anything less than positive and welcoming at drop-off and pick-up. She also has great connections with other childminders, organising play opportunities that widen the children’s social experiences.
Donna and her husband Gary have made us feel like part of their extended family, which makes it all the harder to say goodbye as we relocate. We’ve always felt reassured knowing Emily is in such safe, caring hands. The regular updates throughout the day, with photos and details about what she’s been doing and eating, have been so appreciated.
We will miss Donna hugely and cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for a kind, dedicated, and truly exceptional childminder.
