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 are so thankful that our son was able to spend his early years with Lea. He started as baby, not yet walking or talking, and left as a big grown-up boy! Within the first couple of weeks of our son starting with Lea, we immediately saw changes in him and his development just skyrocketed.
He has had so many opportunities with Lea; she has taken him to regular playgroups, the library, parks, animation workshops, film workshops, there was even a daytrip to the seaside! Everyday is fun and vibrant.
My son is...spirited... and I really value the boundaries and high expectations that Lea puts in place.
We recently moved our son to a nursery, which although sad, was to free up his space so that Lea could have our baby. I couldn't imagine handing her over to anyone else!
Thank you so much.
My daughter attended The Learning Tree a few years ago, and now Shekel cares for my 2 year old son, which says everything about the trust and confidence we have in her.
Shekel creates such a warm, safe, and loving environment for the children, and both of my children have always been so happy and comfortable in her care. She is patient, caring, reliable, and genuinely treats the children as if they were her own.
I’ve always appreciated the effort she puts into helping the children learn, grow, and feel secure. Communication has always been excellent, and I’ve had complete peace of mind knowing my children are with someone so nurturing.
My daughter was a late walker, and I will always be grateful for the patience, encouragement, and care she showed during that time. She supported her development so gently within her setting and made sure she was always fully included in everything, never treated differently.
I couldn’t recommend her enough to any parent looking for a trustworthy and caring childminder xx

Working with Claudia has been an absolute joy, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. She looked after our daughter, Cosima, from the time she was a baby until she turned two, and she truly became an indispensable part of our family during that time.
Here are a few reasons why we 100% recommend her:
Incredibly Kind & Nuturing: Claudia has a natural warmth that made Cosima feel safe and loved from day one. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands.
Reliable & Hardworking: She is extremely professional and dedicated. You never have to worry about punctuality or the quality of care she provides; she consistently goes above and beyond.
Flexible: As parents, we really appreciated how accommodating she was with our schedule. She handled transitions and changing routines with total ease, even travelling with us abroad.
A True Family Member: More than just a childcare provider, Claudia felt like a member of our family. The bond she built with Cosima was wonderful to witness.
If you are looking for someone trustworthy, capable, and genuinely lovely to care for your child, Claudia is the perfect choice. We are so grateful for the time she spent with us!
I cant recommend our Kayleigh enough! The moment we arrive, my little one is overjoyed—her excitement says it all. I receive thoughtful updates throughout the day, giving me full confidence that she’s safe and thriving. From fun activities to outings, she’s constantly learning and growing. I wanted a place where my baby would be happy and safe, and we have found exactly that—so grateful! I would highly recommend

Marie is a brilliant private tutor, especially with children, and I’d really recommend her. She has a calm, friendly way about her that helps kids feel comfortable straight away, and she’s very patient and understanding. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and that makes a big difference.
My wife and I have been taking our 2 year old daughter to Kayleigh for the last few months and we have been very impressed. Kayleigh is very kind and friendly and our daughter warmed to her immediately. Kayleigh keeps us updated with photos for every visit and has a great range of toys and activities. She even got our daughter a gift for her birthday which was very kind.

Janine is absolutely amazing. We are a military family isolated from our families and Janine’s help has been absolutely vital in making my return to work after maternity leave as seamless as can be. Her set up is gorgeous, and the children are incredibly happy, loved and well looked after. With an abundance of toys and in the most perfect location, I could not recommend Janine more as a staple for your life and providing childcare.
We are so grateful to Miss Priya and the team at Bambini Montessori Luton! Since Ayan started attending, his English has improved so much, and he is always excited and happy to go there every day. He loves taking part in all the different activities, and it’s amazing to see how much he is learning while also having fun.
The environment is always very clean, warm, and friendly, which makes us feel comfortable and confident leaving Ayan there. Miss Priya is caring, supportive, and truly dedicated to the children. We are very happy with everything and would highly recommend Bambini Montessori Luton to any parent looking for a lovely and nurturing place for their child.
Hello 👋🏼 I have been with Kayleigh for about half a year. I was very scared as I’m sure most parents reading the comments are to leave their child with someone new. I couldn’t recommend Kayleigh more. My baby smiled at Kayleigh from the moment she saw her which baby’s have a very strong sense of who is a child kind of person and who isn’t. She settled within the settling sessions and there was no tears when dropping off. Especially at the beginning I was very stressed but Kayleigh made sure to reassure me my child was safe and happy by sending me updates during nap time loads of pictures and what she had done during the day. Kayleigh is very involved you can tell she loves what she does. She is up to date with any policy she is very organised. She is respectful and does her absolute best to work around you and make you feel as comfortable as possible. My child is very happy when I tell her it’s time to see Kayleigh and that is the best reassurance you can ever get.
Hello
I am still using Childminder and my kids enjoyed the time there. One of my 2 sons is still going and he doesn't want any other childminder then her. She is 200% reliable and she goes the extra mile e.g. when I need extra days care with short notice, she made availability to care for kids, very fair price, she provide good advice on care for kids. She did had challenges with my kids at beginning but after couple of weeks and good communication they got to understand each better and its now almost 1 full school year my kids still attending her nursery. The tiney app is great, gives all details on the invoice just exactly how the government request all details to be presented, the app is also great to check on what's been happening at nursery with pictures and summary of activities.

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of having Misha as a nanny for my daughter, and she has been nothing short of exceptional throughout her time with us.
From day one, Misha has shown a genuine warmth, patience, and natural love for children that immediately put both my daughter and myself at ease. She has built a truly beautiful bond with my daughter, engaging her with such care, attentiveness, and enthusiasm that every day felt nurturing, joyful, and full of meaningful interaction. Whether it was reading, creative play, educational activities, or simply encouraging curiosity, she consistently brought energy, thoughtfulness, and heart into everything she did.
Her professionalism and attention to detail are outstanding. The home was always left beautifully tidy and well-organised after her time…toys neatly put away, surfaces cleaned, and my daughter’s spaces consistently well cared for. She is extremely about cleanliness and hygiene, especially during feeding, mealtimes, nappy changes, and daily care, which gave complete peace of mind.
Misha is also excellent with meals and daily routines, always preparing and serving food thoughtfully and ensuring my daughter was happy, nourished, and well looked after throughout the day. She remained calm, flexible, and deeply attentive to her needs, even when routines shifted, always handling everything with quiet confidence and consistency.
One of the things we have appreciated most is her willingness to go above and beyond in every sense. She happily took my daughter on outings and little trips, always ensuring safety and structure while making the experiences fun, enriching, and memorable. These moments truly meant a lot, as it was clear how much joy and confidence she helped bring out in my daughter’s development.
Communication with Misha was always easy, open, and reliable. She kept us informed throughout the day, raised any concerns promptly, and showed great respect for household routines and expectations. She also took feedback gracefully and applied it consistently with professionalism and care.
Overall, Misha has been an incredibly dependable, loving, and dedicated nanny. She brought a real sense of calm, trust, and warmth into our home, and we are deeply grateful for everything she has done for my daughter and our family. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone truly caring, responsible, and exceptional in every way. She will be truly missed :)

My little girl has been going to Tina's for several months now and has settled in so well. She is a very clingy baby and nothing has been too much for Tina, she's always worked at her pace and really helped my little one to come out of her shell.
The home environment is lovely and her family are an absolute credit to her, always so excited to see the little ones and really take the time to interact with them. Communication is always superb.
As an anxious first time mum I was very scared going into this process but honestly I trust Tina with my most prize possession and I couldn't think of anyone better for the job.
Liza was our childminder for our youngest for about a year from about 12 months. Our son adores Liza and settled extremely quickly. Her house is organised meticulously, with everything to keep the children entertained and safe.
Liza really thinks about what will work best when organising the days and adheres perfectly to the given requirements for mealtimes and naps.
She has also looked after our 4-year-old daughter who always enjoyed her time there.
Both our children loved spending time with Liza's own children, with Audrey being a firm favourite of our youngest
We would recommend Liza without hesitation and will be using her services again if the need arises.
We feel fortunate to have Carlene look after our 2 year old daughter. From first contact, Carlene was friendly and accommodating. She has great energy which the children love and their days are planned with adventure. They do a range of trips which were varied, toddler groups and spent time outdoors or at the park. At home, Carlene arranged a variety of activities like arts, crafts and cooking. We have some beautiful keepsakes from things they have made. Carlene supports the children with their independence and age appropriate learning through play. Carlene follows a good structure to the day and offers a variety of food options. The children built lovely relationships together which credits the environment Carlene creates. We really value Carlene and feel very grateful for the lovely experience she provided.
My boy had to leave nursery setting and was completely overwhelmed. I worried he would struggle again having had a bit of a bad time. But Fay gave him a slow settling in period and provided him with support, care and a nurturing environment. The other children are also wonderful which showed how well they loved her and she cared for them. It took less than a week for my boy to be handed over with no tears. Her setting is clean, organised, packed with a variety of toys / learning / craft activities etc. Having visited a few places I knew as soon as I stepped into her house she was the one for us. An extremely caring person who is fantastic with the children and their development and any particular needs they might have. She provides regular updates and is easily contactable. 5+ stars. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Most importantly my boy is happy and thriving.

My Son has been with Kathleen since he was 9 months old, he's now an energetic 3 year old! The whole settling in process was managed very well, Kathleen met with us in advance so we could meet her and we could see her very safe and child friendly home.
While needing to find childcare for work purposes, Kathleen's care has been everything we could have wanted. As a working mum I needed a child care provider who was reliable and nurturing; I can guarantee this is exactly how Kathleen is.
I am absolutely confident that he has the best time at Kathleen's. This is confirmed through his wishes to go to Kathleen's even on some of his days off!
On the occasions I have had difficulty with transition ; Kathleen has always been so patient and welcoming it really helps! She's incredibly flexible and what is lovely is she supports us both and gives lots of reassurance: updates through out the day, pictures and little messages so we both always feel in touch. His enthusiasm to be with Kathleen and his friends at her setting is always confirmed with him running straight in the morning and not wanting to leave at the end of the day!
I love that Kathleen will take the children to a variety of activities including classes, soft play, parks, children's centres, the library and just so much more. She is very in tune with the children's needs and can adjust the schedule to suit the needs of everyone. When home based I know her setting follows the EYFS structure; she has a wide variety of games, arts crafts, toys, activities and a fantastic resourced garden for the children to be engaged and learn.
She offers the children a varied balanced diet with her home made meals and includes lots of fruit and snacks which she tops up all the way until home time! Our son is always leaving with a snack in hand!
I strongly believe the well rounded person my son is becoming is of huge credit to Kathleen. I am confident she helps to instil positive behaviours and handles the children in her care with such a calm and professional manner.
Thank you Kathleen, Elijah is very blessed to have had this time with you in your care.
All I can say is if she has a space available, TAKE IT! :)) I can 100% recommend Kathleen to perspective parents, I couldn’t have done the last couple of years without her.
Ania worked with our family as a childcare
provider for our three-year-old son and proved to be caring, patient, reliable, and highly attentive to our son’s development. She built a wonderful relationship with him and created a safe, positive, and engaging environment every day.
One of her biggest achievements was successfully helping our son with potty training.
Thanks to her consistency, encouragement, and gentle approach, he made excellent
progress and became much more confident and independent.
Ania also spent time supporting his early learning and development. She regularly worked with him on the alphabet, counting, and other age-appropriate educational activities through play and structured learning. We noticed a significant improvement in his communication,
confidence, and enthusiasm for learning during her time with us.
We were very happy with the care and support Ania provided, and we would confidently recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and dedicated childcare professional.
We honestly couldn’t be happier with Kaye. She has been absolutely amazing from day one! kind, patient, reliable, and genuinely caring. Our child was always happy, settled, and excited to go, which says everything. Communication has been excellent and we’ve always felt completely confident that our child is safe, supported, and well cared for. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any parent looking for outstanding childcare.
Abigail has been a God sent, she has helped out so much with my daughters learning and development. My daughter absolutely loves being in her care and looks forward to it everyday and eating all the yummy food she provides. Abigail is flexible and very supportive. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs childcare.
