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 couldn’t be happier with the care and support our children have received from Roxy. From the very beginning, it was clear that this is a warm, welcoming, and highly professional environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to grow.
Our children, aged from 4-7 years old have thrived under the care provided from Roxy. Each day there were fun activities, creative play, and opportunities to develop confidence and independence. It’s wonderful to see how much the children enjoyed their time at Roxy’s and how excited they are to go.
What really stands out is the genuine kindness, patience, and attention given to each child. Communication has always been excellent, and we’ve felt fully reassured knowing our children are in such capable and caring hands. The environment is both nurturing and well-organised, creating the perfect setting for young children to learn and flourish.
We highly recommend Roxy to any family looking for a safe, supportive, and professional place where their children will be truly cared for and happy.
Gem’s childcare has been the best decision we made for our daughter. Gemma and her team go above and beyond to create a professional, caring and educational environment in a private setting.
Our daughter is happy and comfortable every day at drop off and often comes home with new words, skills, dance moves and even cute artwork.

We are so grateful to have found this particular setting and would happily recommend Sophie and her lovely assistant Sophie confidently to anyone looking.
Initially, we were quite anxious about leaving him with anyone outside of the family, but they have made us feel completely at ease.
He has become a much better eater thanks to the variety of foods they introduce, and we love receiving the regular updates on his meals and sleep.
What stands out the most is their genuine, honest care; they notice immediately if he’s feeling under the weather and monitor him just as closely as we would at home. Knowing he’s getting those 'extra cuddles' makes all the difference. We couldn't ask for a more caring environment!
Sapana was the first babysitter we had for our son when he was less than a year old, and she was just invaluable to us, so attentive, gentle, absolutely trustworthy, dependable and just has that natural warmth that you would hope of anyone who would spend time with your child or children. Sapana is a naturally nurturing person there is no doubt, and we have felt absolutely privileged to have met her and for her to have been a part of our son's life, and our lives, at such a tender and challenging time.

Puja is a truly fantastic person in our experience, absolutely dependable, thoughtful, relatable, pro-active, and very good with children. Patient, committed, all the things you could hope for in someone to spend time with your child or children. We have felt delighted to have made acquaintance with Puja

I highly recommend Dee as a childminder. Dee has been looking after my son for 2 years and he has thrived in her care.
Dee is fantastic at planning activities and always has something on the go for the children. There’s a great variety of things to do, and different activities each day. My son is always engaged and loves going to her.
The children spend lots of time outside whenever possible, which I really value, and they get plenty of movement and physical activity as part of their day. She strikes a great balance between fun, learning, and keeping the children active.
She is also very flexible and accommodating, which makes such a difference as a parent. Her approach is down-to-earth and no-fuss, creating a relaxed, caring environment where the children clearly feel comfortable and well looked after. We feel very lucky to have found her.
I contacted Val at a very short notice and she was incredibly helpful and accommodating.From the moment that she arrived to look after my 9 year old son,she was calm, friendly and professional.Our child felt comfortable with her straight away.Val also sent regular updates and messages to let me know how everything was going,which gave me a peace of mind while I was away.She was punctual and trustworthy.I am extremely grateful for her help and would not hesitate to recommend her to any family.We will definitely book her again during half term.
My son start going to the after school since November after a nursery let me down at the last minute and to be fair i am so happy the nursery let me down so i can found this after school club. Trish has been so nice even on the first call you got a good feeling.She asked me to come and see the premise…I had a good feeling within the first minute with her and Rosan. my son felt so welcome he went to played with the other kids. All kids are behaving very well and are teach goods manner at the table… it not only a simple after school club ,that just collect children and that it they do activities with the kids, organise party ( christmas party, birthday party) good mix of food with always fruits available. that my son is sad when i come to early to pick him up. He want to stay later .. Rosan is pick up my son everyday at school and bring him at the club. She is taking good care of my son and he enjoying the ride.This club has been a saving for my family as we both working full time. Without it i don't know how we will do it as it is rare to find an after school that fit parents working hours.
We couldn’t ask for a better childminder for Jude. From day one she made us all feel completely comfortable and reassured. She genuinely cares about the children she looks after, and it really shows.
Jude has grown in confidence so much since starting, and he’s always happy and excited to tell us about his day. The activities she plans are fun, creative and educational, she takes them for lovely outings and I love how we get daily pictures to show the adventures they go on! Her home is such a warm, safe and welcoming environment. Her family are just as kind and friendly, which makes it feel even more special and like a true home-from-home setting.
We drop Jude off every day knowing he’s safe, happy and well cared for, which means everything to us. We’re so grateful for everything she does and would highly recommend her.

My son has been with Gems childcare since he was 9 months old. He is now 2 and a half years old and unfortunately moving onto pre school in September. I was nervous when arranging a childcare setting for my son. Gems childcare has been the best decision we could have made. Gem and her team are great. My son loves going to “play” with his friends and runs in each day, sometimes forgetting to say bye ☺️. I feel at ease when I drop my son off in their care and for me this is priceless. There are lots of activities they do including foreign Languages and dancing. He has developed extremely well. He is very sociable and thriving and gems childcare will have a lot to do with this. Thank you for being amazing.
My 1 year old son has started with Leanne and it’s been the best decision me and my partner has ever made. She’s such a kind and caring person. Fantastic with communication. My son adores her and loves going! I was worried about going back into full time work and leaving my son but my mind is now at ease. Thank you so much!
Jess looked after my 2 year old twins for the afternoon and was great. She met us all beforehand to put our mind at ease as we hadn't used a babysitter before. The twins really took to her and were so settled and happy when we got home. We will definitely be asking jess to help us again as she was a great help and it's such a relief to find someone we can trust.
We recently had the pleasure of having Iva care for our boys, and we truly could not have asked for a better babysitter. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, polite, and exceptionally professional. She has such a naturally calming energy that immediately put both us and our children at ease.
Our boys felt completely comfortable with her, which speaks volumes about her kind and reassuring nature. It was clear that she was attentive, engaged, and genuinely caring throughout her time with them. Even our cat’s who are typically very shy around new people were relaxed and comfortable in her presence, which is rare and says so much about her gentle demeanour.
Iva is reliable, composed, and thoughtful in everything she does. We felt confident and reassured knowing our children were in such capable hands. We will absolutely be using her services again in the near future and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and wonderful babysitter.

We started with Kerry when our daughter was 1 year old for a full week, 9-5, so I was worrying about how she would take it. I was amazed at how quickly she adjusted – settling took less than a week and she always goes there with a smile, often forgetting to say bye to us! They do so many various activities with the kids and have a beautiful garden, much better than our local nurseries and playgrounds.
Kerry updates us on our little one's routine with photos and is often available to chat even in the evening. Our daughter has made friends there and is developing very well.
We are very grateful to Kerry, Nanny K and Jackie for such lovely care of our daughter and feel very lucky that we have found such a wonderful childminder for our little one.

Nia was absolutely fantastic with my 4yo son. They clicked immediately and he was very happy to stay with her while
I went to an event. She is naturally warm and clearly has a lot of experience with children.
She accepted the booking at very short notice (same day) and was fast with communication, and she arrived on time.
She will be our go-to babysitter anytime were in Edinburgh.
Absolutely amazing service 👏 ❤️ went over and beyond to take care of the babies my little boy was sick during the hours joy had the children. Joy kept us updated and changed all bedding and our baby boy. Joy is a very calm kind lady and amazing with little ones. I also have a teenager with autism and she took to joy straight away! Which is very unusual as she lives in her bedroom hehe! Overall 10/10 service and definitely be having her over again to take care of the children 😀
