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.
As a parent finding someone to look after your precious baby is a very difficult and important decision. I knew I wanted to put my son in with Marie as my nephew had been there 9 years prior to my son and my nephew LOVED going to Marie's so I knew Arlo would love it just as much.
I put Arlo in with Marie at 9 months old and from the beginning Marie was incredible, Arlo absolutely loves going to Marie's. Marie is always doing something with the children whether it is going to the zoo, the farm, soft play or just creating things indoors for the children. Arlo always comes home saying he has had the best day.
Arlo was so sad to stop going to Marie's to go to school however Marie has been so accommodating and has said he can return for the school holidays which he is so excited for. Marie is so flexible with timings and dates it truly is so helpful.
I cannot recommend Marie more highly. She truly is the absolute best and your children will love her just as much as my son and I do!

I honestly can’t thank Carmen enough for everything she’s done for my son. The progress my child has made since being in her care has been incredible, especially with his speech and confidence. She provides such a loving, homely environment where the children are always learning, laughing, and having fun. It’s so clear how much she cares about each child and how much effort she puts into helping them thrive. My child absolutely loved going to Carmen’s house, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was so well looked after.
Kirstie has been my son’s child minder for over a year now and he has come on so much since being with her. He absolutely loves going and always has the best time, they’ve developed such a close bond that there is no one I trust more outside our family with my son.
I couldn’t have wished for more for our child. Settling period was so smooth and they quickly became attached to Colin, he is truly magic even with the shyest little children! I quickly became at ease with my little one being away from me for the first time all day.
The house always smells amazing of yummy meals cooking away. There wasn’t a single day where our child didn’t come out beaming.
Allyson is so great with her prompt communication and keeping records of the children’s development.
Colin & Allyson have been wonderful and I feel a great sense of sadness to be moving on to the next stage for our little one. We will miss you!
Highly recommend.
I wanted to share my experience with Daniel as a childminder for my baby.
From the very beginning, I felt a lovely atmosphere in her home — warm, cozy, and creative. She was extremely flexible with my schedule and personal situation, which I appreciated so much as a new mother.
Daniel truly cared for Adam. It was his very first experience being cared for by someone outside of the family, and at first, it was hard for both of us. My heart broke a few times when I had to leave him, but Daniel always reassured me — she would send me photos within minutes, showing that he had already calmed down and was happily playing. Those updates meant the world to me.
She only looks after a small number of children (no more than three, as far as I know), so each child gets plenty of attention. They all play together, and every time I picked Adam up, he was in such a good mood — even better than when I left him!
After just a few visits, he started to wake up excited to go see Daniel. He was about one year and six months old, and it was clear how much he enjoyed being there.
For me, it was incredibly important to leave my child somewhere that feels safe, warm, and loving — and Daniel’s home is exactly that. It’s cozy, beautifully kept, and has a truly artistic, welcoming spirit. Her personality makes all the difference — responsible, kind, creative, and organized. Adam always ate at her place as well :)
I’m deeply grateful that my son had the chance to know someone like Daniel — not only because she took care of him so well, but because she became such a positive presence in his little life.
We’ve since left London, but if we hadn’t, I would have gladly moved closer to her just to have Adam spend more time there. Daniel is truly special — both as a childminder and as a person.

Ailsa has been amazing with our little girl, who is three years old. She had never been left in care before, so we were really apprehensive about taking that step. From the moment we met Ailsa, it felt as though we had known her forever — she was so welcoming and warm that we immediately knew she was the right fit.
Our little girl took her hand and went off to play straight away. We left her for just an hour at first, and when we came back to pick her up, she didn’t want to leave! She has settled in so easily and gets genuinely excited to go, which, as a parent, is everything you could hope for when leaving your little one with someone.
Ailsa has a natural ability to make children feel secure and loved. We could not recommend her highly enough!
Diana is conscientious and reliable... Diana has looked after my child with her heart, my child is always well fed and very happy there.
Diana is always very kind, happy relaxed and caring towards my child.
I trust her completely and couldn't be happier with the care she provide. She goes above and beyond... I can't speak highly enough of her.
She is trustworthy, caring and always go an extra step providing extra support when needed.
The outdoor activities are always wide and varied with a number of learning experiences within them... the outdoor activities are also safe, highly enjoyable and extremely entertaining.
She has made meaningful friendships with the other children... She has always ensure a steady and systematic development as per age appropriate children's developmental stages.
What I especially appreciate is the daily updates and photos she gives, its such a peace of mind and allow us to feel connected even when we're apart.
She also works well with parents on child's specific needs.
They truly go above and beyond! I always feel completely in the loop about how my little girl’s doing, and the daily activities they plan are just wonderful. We get adorable photo updates throughout the day - the highlight of my day! My little one absolutely loves going in each morning; honestly, I think she’d move in if she could. I highly recommend them - I couldn’t imagine her in anyone else’s care.
We hired Natalie to look after our one year old for the day during a family wedding we were at and I couldn’t recommend her more. She was attentive and fun and my little one became attached to her straight off the bat due to her warm and caring nature. She also brought lots of her own toys and games to keep him entertained. I felt at ease leaving Oscar with her and she made sure to keep me updated throughout the day. I would definitely use Natalie again and really appreciate all of her help.

Lydia has been caring for three of my children and now for my two youngest children. I came to her because I urgently needed a childminder, and she immediately offered her help. She has adapted to all my needs every time I've needed it. My children have adapted to this situation with her and have grown very fond of her. Thanks to her, my daily life is easier. Thank you, Lydia.
This is the second year my son with additional needs has attended this childcare setting and he really enjoys it and he is cared for and has a fun day I would definitely recommend thanks 🙏🏽
Harriet had only just started her childminding business when we came to meet her. I could immediately see she would be a perfect fit for our little boy. We haven’t regretted our decision since joining. Harriet is so patient and calm with the children. She’s very thoughtful and does meaningful activities with the children regularly, like playgroups and woodland walks. Our little one had a delayed developmental start, Harriet happily embraced learning extra makaton to assist us with a continuous plan. Harriet’s family are also super lovely, providing another layer of his care and excitement. We wholeheartedly recommend Harriet as a childminder, and will be sad to leave her at school time!
Katalin has been an absolutely brilliant childminder. She consistently provided detailed updates about our son’s development, daily activities, outings, and the various festivals they celebrated in her setting. Her inclusive environment ensures that children from different backgrounds feel represented and valued.
Meals and activities are always carefully planned and prepared, encouraging healthy eating habits and hands-on participation — our son especially loved making bread rolls every Thursday! The introduction of “Hungarian Fridays” has also been a wonderful way to support his journey towards becoming a confident trilingual child.
We truly couldn’t have wished for a better childminder. It was very hard to say goodbye when we moved home, as Katalin has had such a positive and lasting impact on our son’s early years.
My now two year old has absolutely blossomed in Alice’s expert care. She joined Alice as a baby and in the time Alice has looked after her she has become a confident, resilient and incredibly happy little girl.
My little girl’s language has flourished - I chose to place her with Alice because I knew of Alice’s teaching background and wanted that dynamic, and through a love of books and the library, as well as using all sorts of situations (trips to the zoo, to local playgroups, and further afield!) we now have an extremely chatty two year old able to confidently express herself on a wide range of topics.
I’m so grateful to Alice not only for the development she has encouraged, but for the care and affection my little girl has known in her brilliant setting - a real home from home where hugs are in abundance, food is delicious & healthy, and impromptu dance parties are the norm!
If you are looking for a dynamic, warm and all round positive environment for your little one - look no further!
Our twins have been with Azadi for just over a year and we could not be happier with the care afforded to them.
Azadi is extremely professional, compassionate and nurturing and has an ever calm disposition. She takes a genuine interest in our children's personalities - understanding and catering for their own particular needs.
It is so important for any parent to know that when their children are handed over to any kind of childcare that they are treated with utmost care and respect. We certainly feel safe in the knowledge that we can leave our twins with Azadi where their physiological, emotional and educational needs are met, even exceeding our expectations.
Our son and daughter love spending time with her in her safe and appropriately set up environment. She takes them on fun and stimulating outings, whereby on returning home, they excitedly communicate what they have learnt and experienced. She keeps us regularly updated with photos and messages which are invaluable and a real highlight for us.
Azadi sets herself very high standards and goes over and above in her work with our children.
She clearly knows and understands the Early Years curriculum very well and her implementation of it has meant that both our daughter and our son have come on leaps and bounds in their development across all the areas of learning. We have noticed lovely progress in their fine and gross motor skills as well as in their speech and language and social skills.
We are so grateful to have Azadi in our twins' lives.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review for Childminding Natalie
We’ve had two of our little ones attend Natalie’s childminding services over the years, and on both occasions we have been absolutely delighted with the level of care and attention they received.
The difference in their confidence, speech, and overall development has been incredible — we noticed real, measurable progress thanks to Natalie’s dedication and the nurturing environment she provides. The days are always well-planned, filled with a perfect balance of educational and fun activities tailored to each child’s needs.
The childminding spaces are clean, modern, and safe, creating the ideal setting for children to learn and grow. The difference between our youngest children who attended the childminder and those who didn’t is night and day — a true testament to the impact Natalie’s care and structure have on early development.
We couldn’t recommend Childminding with the Dysons highly enough. Natalie goes above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for the positive influence she’s had on our children’s lives.
As every parent you worry about who will look after your kids when your going back to work. I found childminding with the Dyson. Instantly with reading Natalie's profile I knew she would be the perfect childminder for my son Jock and my 1 year old daughter. I messaged Natalie and instantly replied back to me asking about my childs likes dislikes how she can help my kids learn and grow while under her care always making sure my kids felt happy safe and not upset. The settling in service she overs and also all the questions any parent may worry about or forgets like me when I went for the 1st time 🙈 Natalie made me feel relaxed calms and answers all my questions i had. Natalie offers a warm calm and safe environment for all her childminding kids making them feel at ease when they are with her and the other childminding kids. Every day is filled with such fun and great memories your children can look back on in there lifes. Natalie has lots to offer with her childminding children and plans each day/ week with such passion and love for her childminding kids. Shes done Baking day trips out to farms/ parks and soft play with my kids and other childminding kids she also does alot of indoor activity arts and crafts and lots of learing to help the kids at there age group to grow and come on. She also does lots of out door activity walks bug hunting and so much more 😊 which would be always fun for all the kids. Natalie also helped my little boy crack potty training and also worked with me for having jock come out of his comfort zone with her and the other childminding kids. Its Made jock and Aurora so comfortable and had jock ready for nursery/school which was a hugh bonus cant thank natalie enough. Having my kids with natalie would make every day my two not wanting to come home with me as they would have so much fun with natalie and the other children 🙂 I Highly recommend Natalie she had made such a difference to my two kids and she has alot to offer and such a great childminder to my two kids.
