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.
My toddler 4 year old and 1 year old love this lady, such a lively environment. They are always coming back smiling, always have wonderful experience with her.
Safiyah looked after my toddler for around a month. Her experience with babies/young toddlers was really evident in how quickly our daughter took to her and how reliable she quickly proved herself to be. As first time parents we learnt a lot from her and she was able to do things that we found tricky, particularly feeding her where she made a huge impact so quickly. She always has excellent ideas to keep baby busy and engaged and did so many things out of her own initiative e.g. preparing her bag before appointments or preparing simple lunches if there wasn't anything pre cooked. All in all we were really lucky to have her.
Jess from the start was brilliant and putting both myself and my little one at ease. Isla-Lilly actively looks forward to spending time there and she has come on leaps and bounds bounds in her confidence thanks to the care show by Jess to adapt activities to her stage of development.
The daily updates via tiney are brilliant and ensure we are updated through the day just like a nursery would. We would highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a childminder.
Louise has been working with my son for a few weeks. My son is SEND and struggles in a mainstream setting. I spoke to Louise about my concerns and wanting him to pass his maths and English GCSE’s so he can move forward and into a career of his choosing. Louise always feeds back after every session and has an amazing skillset that has enabled my son to produce good quality and quantities of work each session. I am confident with Louise’s support he will easily pass his exams
Jenny is fantastic. She has looked after our son since he was 9 months old and we appreciate how safe and secure he is in her care — it gives us real peace of mind. He always has so much fun with her, and it’s clear that the activities she plans help him learn and grow at the same time. The balance she creates between play, both indoor and outdoor, and learning is exactly what we hoped for. Communication is excellent — we always know how the day has gone, what he has eaten, and any little milestones or moments worth celebrating. Our son has grown in confidence since starting here, and it’s clear that he is cared for with real attention and kindness. I highly recommend!
Our child has attended this setting since the age of one and is now four, and the progress he’s made has been incredible. His confidence, communication, and social skills have all grown so much, thanks to the nurturing and supportive environment.
The setting feels warm and welcoming, with a real family atmosphere. The staff build strong relationships with the children, and our child genuinely enjoys attending. They also organise lovely events throughout the year, helping families feel involved and part of a wider community.
Communication is always clear and consistent, with regular updates through the Tapestry app and parents’ meetings, so you always feel informed about your child’s development. The team are also very understanding and accommodating of individual circumstances, always putting the children first.
We’re so pleased with the care provided and would highly recommend this setting to any parent.
My child absolutely loves going to Sarah's house! It is so nice that I drop my child off to someone who we can all trust and will really look after them, and not just watch them. The amount of care that goes in is admirable. My child has thrived over the last year. Communication and flexibility has been brilliant, and sarah will always work around us which has been so helpful. Would recommend her to anyone that asks! My child started as a baby and she will be leaving as a walking, talking, potty trained little person!
Thank you for being so good with my kids, would recommend to anyone
She’s fantastic with children—kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. She’s also incredibly flexible and often available even at very short notice, which has been a huge help. Communication is excellent too; she’s always clear, responsive, and easy to reach. Highly recommended!
If you have a child who struggles with separation or didn't fit into the 'nursery mold,' please look no further. We came to chantels after a traumatic time elsewhere my daughter used to be inconsolable at drop-offs. Today, she is a different child. She is confident, happy, and absolutely adores her childminding family.
The team goes above and beyond to make the environment feel like a second home. The outings they go on are spectacular—they take the children out into the world to learn through their own interests in such a creative way. The communication is fantastic; I’m never left wondering how her day is going. To see my daughter run in with a beaming smile is a testament to the outstanding care and love they provide. They aren't just childminders; they are an extension of our family."
We’ve had a wonderful experience with Milleshar as our childcare provider. She is incredibly reliable, which gives us real peace of mind day to day. One of the things we appreciate most is the thoughtful updates she sends—daily messages along with lovely photos that help us feel connected to our child’s experiences while we’re apart. We love seeing the wide range of outings, learning activities, and play that Milleshar plans for the children, including trips to parks, city farms, and libraries. She considers each child’s needs and plans accordingly, and our child is engaged, happy, and very well fed when we collect her.
Milleshar also provides a detailed learning journey and a booklet documenting our child’s development. This is a very meaningful touch—not only does it show the care and attention she puts into supporting learning, but it’s also a beautiful piece of memorabilia that we’ll treasure as our child grows, even including printed out pictures!
Milleshar genuinely cares for the children in her care, and we are delighted at how affectionate our child has become towards her. Milleshar’s warmth and attentiveness comes through in everything she does, and we feel very lucky to have found her.
Tiny Playhouse Childminding is everything you could hope for in a childminder and more. Knowing she is a qualified nurse brings an extra level of reassurance, but it’s her warmth, patience, and genuine passion for children that truly set her apart.
Her setting is thoughtfully designed with a Montessori approach, encouraging independence, curiosity, and hands-on learning. Every activity feels purposeful yet fun, allowing children to develop at their own pace in a calm, nurturing environment.
The outdoor space is absolutely stunning – a safe, inviting haven filled with natural textures, open-ended resources, and imaginative play areas. It’s clear that so much care has gone into creating a space where children can explore, create, and thrive in the fresh air.
What makes her even more unique is the variety of skills she shares with the children. From introducing sign language to teaching gymnastics, she provides enriching experiences that build confidence, coordination, and communication skills in such a fun and engaging way.
Being Ofsted registered gives added peace of mind, but honestly, her care goes above and beyond any standard. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tiny Playhouse Childminding to anyone looking for a safe, inspiring, and loving environment for their children.
My little one has been going for 7/8 months now and is thriving, she enjoys learning new things and loves all the different activities. Teresa and her team provide a wonderful home from home environment helping with learning, engaging in different activities and providing support. I love the updates I get throughout the day and whenever I drop her off she is super excited to see everyone. Would definitely recommend!
I highly recommend Greta! She looked after my 18 months old girl, and she was professional and dedicated. She engaged with the baby straight away and when I met her I knew I didn’t need to keep searching for a baby sitter as she fits perfectly all my requires. She is very punctual as well and always trying to meet my needs even with a last minute notice. I do recommend her to anyone that needs a trusted and professional person to look after their babies.

Michaela has been our nanny for over 3 years, starting when our daughter was 14 months old. She is incredibly precise, never misses a thing, and is always proactive in suggesting the most suitable activities. She strikes the perfect balance between being funny and friendly while maintaining a strong, assertive character; this approach has truly shaped our daughter’s positive attitude and respect for rules.
Beyond childcare, she has been an invaluable support in the house and to us as parents, helping us navigate every milestone in our daughter's early years. She has become part of our family, and we will miss her immensely. We will always treasure the memories she built with our family. We cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone seeking top-tier daily life support.
Sarah and all the childminders here are so caring and lovely - I genuinely feel like they are invested in my child's development and happiness and from Day 1, I have always felt really secure and calm dropping off my baby (he has gone since 1yr old). It has been clear that this is somewhere he is super happy - he is always excited to go to nursery and reaches out his little arms for them all when he arrives. They do so so many activities that are so fun and creative and the children spend so much time outdoors in the lovely garden. I have genuinely never heard any complaints from any of the other parents - everyone's child seems to love it there. Sarah is also always really flexible and helpful and I always feel very reassured by the updates she gives. Very very happy all round!

Meeting Amal was the best experience ever . From the beginning we knew she was the perfect childminder we were looking for. Our little daughter 18 months old when she started she settled in so quickly and she was so happy to go to Amal every day since . Amal is very flexible with the starting and finishing times which makes our daily routine stress free.
The care that our daughter received from Amal is fantastic. She learned so many amazing things like numbers ,letters ,singing and talking so fluent at early age that we could see that Amal is very dedicated and passionate about teaching children . Amal has an allotment that takes our daughter to visit and learn about gardening which is amazing .
Our daughter she absolutely loves time spent with Amal and we are very grateful with everything Amal offers .
Thank you ever so much Amal , you’re the best . 😊
Both my son and daughter have grown up from babies being in the care of Annemarie and Dom.
Annemarie offers an ever changing array of resources to stimulate and challenge the children’s thinking and keep them engaged . The summerhouse and the outdoor space is amazing and you know the children are having the best time whilst at ABC.
The children are encouraged to be creative and make the most exciting imaginative play zones or art pieces.
Both of my children have developed a love of the outdoors from Annemarie and Dom. Exploring the outdoors on walks or planting new flowers in the garden, they both know how important the outside is.
We could not recommend ABC childcare enough!
We’ve had a great experience with Maria over the past 10 months. Our son joined when he was 1 year and 10 months old, and he has been happy, engaged and well cared for throughout. He settled quickly with Maria and Carlos and building a routine has been invaluable for us. The setting offers a range of activities that keep the children occupied (including Children’s Centres, parks, farms, and church play sessions), and he has formed lovely friendships with a small group of children of a similar age. We really value the photos Maria shares during the day, it’s reassuring to see what they’ve been up to while he’s away from us.
One area where we’ve seen meaningful progress is in his speech. He started speaking a little later than expected, but with the support of NHS sessions alongside Maria’s encouragement and day-to-day engagement, his development has improved noticeably over the past few months.
We’ve also appreciated the care provided when he has been unwell, including administering prescribed medication appropriately and keeping us informed. We’re now starting potty training, following Maria’s guidance that he is ready, and are looking forward to working through this next stage.
Overall, we value the care provided and the positive environment our son has experienced, and would gladly recommend Maria.
I’ll be delighted to share another brief reflection once our son transitions to school in due course.
