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 would strongly not recommend this nanny. We experienced several issues, but the most concerning were related to trust and safety.
We have a strict family rule that our young children must hold an adult’s hand when crossing the road. Our son told us that Denisa was sending them across the road without adult supervision. I raised this directly with her and reminded her of our expectations.
Afterwards, she called our son a “tattletale” and told him not to tell us things that concerned him. This created serious trust and safety concerns for our family

It’s hard to put into words how incredible Kelly and Hannah are at their job, and how perfect of a setting they have created!! Me and my partner were very hesitant about putting our daughter into childcare, however when viewing Kelly and Hannah’s environment our daughter instantly bonded with them both with their calming but bubbly nature. Everytime we pick her up she has a smile ear to ear, and she is so excited to tell us all the fun things she had done, and places they have been too each day. I honestly cannot recommend, and thank Kelly& Hannah enough for caring and looking after our girl like she’s one of their own. Thank you <3
What can I say about Gabi? She is not only an amazing childminder, but so much more than that. From the moment I placed my son in Gabi’s care, I knew there was something truly special about her that went far beyond childcare.
Gabi creates such a warm, loving, and welcoming environment in her home. The children have plenty of time to play and have fun, but she also dedicates time to helping each child develop new skills, including reading and writing. She makes sure the children enjoy a wide range of activities, from playgroups to outings, giving them a fun and well-rounded experience.
Gabi provides nourishing, healthy meals, all lovingly cooked from scratch. Although our son doesn’t have any allergies, I’ve always been impressed by how careful and attentive she is in ensuring every child’s individual needs are fully met.
Gabi is more than a childminder — she feels like part of our family, and she treats every child she cares for as if they were her own. We are so excited that our younger son will soon be starting with Gabi too, and we look forward to continuing this very special relationship.
I truly cannot recommend Gabi highly enough — she is absolutely magical!
There are so many decisions you have to make as a new parent and our decision to go with Tracy is hands down the very best, I can’t imagine a world without her!
I have two children aged 2 and 4 and Tracy has looked after them both since they were babies. My little boy was very clingy and shy and Tracy devoted so much time to settling him in, she is the kindest and most patient of people. She was so warm and cuddly and loving from day one, it was like leaving him with a favourite auntie. My little girl is lively and sometimes demanding and Tracy invents fantastic activities to keep her entertained as well as taking her on outings to parks/playgrounds/playgroups and ryhme time. When it’s a home day and she has her mummy all to herself she asks to go to ‘my Tracy’s house’ - what could be a better endorsement than that!!

Sarah looked after our 2 daughters (aged 7 and 5) after school. She was brilliant with them, the girls took to her straight away, and we always felt comfortable knowing they were in her care. Sarah is always punctual, a fab communicator, and all round lovely person.

Steph has been the childminder for both my children over the past 12 years. This includes looking after my daughter from when she was a baby. She has been absolutely brilliant. It has been as if my children have had a second home and a second family. She has always gone above and beyond, with legendary Christmas parties, Birthday parties for each child and trips out. I really feel blessed that we have had Steph as our childminder.
This was my first experience having someone outside of the family look after my son and it couldn’t have gone better. Lashajor immediately made Noah feel completely comfortable and she was able to entertain him the whole time leaving me free to work knowing Noah was happy and in good hands. I feel very grateful to have met Leshajor and had such a positive experience. I would be glad to have her watch Noah anytime and would highly reccomend her.

Fay is a brilliant childminder
Fay offers a warm and welcoming environment with a focus on learning everyday skills (using cutlery, practicing tooth brushing(!) etc) as well as more structured learning and play which is always varied and fun.
Our son especially loves the time outdoors (walks, visits to the park, stables, gardening etc).
We are very happy with Fay and highly recommend her.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a caring, trustworthy, and dedicated childminder for our son. From the very beginning, she created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where he felt comfortable, happy, and genuinely excited to go every day.
What stands out the most is the genuine affection and patience she shows towards the children. She pays close attention to each child’s individual needs, encourages learning through play, and helps build confidence, independence, and good manners in such a natural way. We have noticed tremendous positive changes in our son’s social skills, communication, and overall development since being in her care.
She is extremely reliable, organised, and professional, while also maintaining a lovely family-like atmosphere that gives parents real peace of mind. Communication has always been excellent — she keeps us updated regularly and clearly cares deeply about the wellbeing and happiness of the children.
As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is safe, loved, and happy when away from home. We can honestly say she has become an important and trusted part of our son’s early years, and we are truly grateful for everything she has done for him.
We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a kind, dependable, and exceptional childminder.
Nicole has been helping us with our 2 girls, aged 8 and 5. She’s honestly lit up their lives ❤️. They adore her and look forward to their afternoons with her so much. She is kind and patient with them and always has fun activities. I trust her 100% picking them up from school and know they could not be in better hands.

I honestly cannot put into words how wonderful this person is. She is incredibly caring, loving, and attentive with the children, and they truly feel happy and comfortable in her care.
My son settled in unbelievably quickly and even slept there from the very first day, which says so much about the warm, safe, and welcoming environment she creates. The children feel completely at ease, they eat very well, and they have plenty of opportunities to socialise and interact with other kids.
Since starting with her, my son comes home every day with new words and new things he has learned. He is only 18 months old and already knows more than 15 English words that he learned while being in her care. It is amazing to see how much progress he has made in such a short time.
She also follows an excellent routine, which has been wonderful for my son because he thrives on structure and consistency. The routine is respected very well, and you can clearly see the positive impact it has on the children.
Another thing that gave me so much peace of mind is how clean, safe, and well-organised everything is. I have been to her home myself and saw how clean and child-friendly the environment is. The toys are safe, the space is secure, and she takes hygiene very seriously. My son always comes home clean, with his hands and face washed, and his nappy changed properly and on time. He has never come home with irritation, redness, or discomfort. I truly receive him back just as clean and cared for as when I leave him there.
What I appreciate just as much is how understanding, flexible, and supportive she is. She is always available to help and has never made me feel like I am asking for too much. Even in emergency situations, when I have not been able to give much notice, she has always been more than happy to look after Rareș. She has helped me so many times during stressful moments, and for that I will always be grateful.
She is also extremely communicative and always keeps me updated. At the end of each day, she takes the time to tell me what my son did, what he learned, how his day went, if anything unusual happened, and whether everything was okay. As a parent, that level of communication means so much.
She is such a kind and genuine person who radiates warmth, positivity, and care. As a parent, it gives me incredible peace of mind knowing my son is with someone who truly loves what she does.
I recommend her wholeheartedly. From one parent to another, she is a very safe and trustworthy choice, and I truly believe that any child — even one who may struggle with adapting to new environments — will settle in very quickly with her. I could not recommend her more highly.
Freddie has been going Angela's for 18 months now, like his second home. Angela is super friendly, always happy to help, Freddie is constantly learning new things. They do dress up days and special stuff like make mothers day cards. Wouldn't go anywhere else when we have our next little one
Naila is an amazing childminder. I never trust anyone with my own children but Naila. I have been with her for a very long time. I am able to leave my children with her and not stress at all. My first child started with her and now my second born is also with her. I have recommended her to many friends and family and they are all also very happy. Naila treats my children like her own and her setting is comfortable and feels like home. The first time I saw her setting my heart and mind had the same feeling of immediately saying yes! I am really happy that I have met Naila. She is an amazing woman and I really really do appreciate her so so much. I really do recommend to everyone.
Finding someone you trust with your little one is so daunting, but Dee made the transition incredibly easy. From day one, she provided a warm, nurturing environment that felt like a home away from home. My child settled in much faster than I expected, and I can go to work knowing they are safe, happy, and well-cared for. I couldn't ask for a better childminder!

Nancy has been our childminder for over 3 years, there a few words to describe how amazing she is. We have had such a wonderful experience with Nancy and when trusting your little ones to someone else it’s made so much easier when such a kind person and family step in to help. Nothing has ever been a problem, Nancy has always supported and encourage us and our child and we couldn’t have wished to have found a better person to care for her. Not only Nancy but also her children have made her home a place that any child would be happy to be a part of. It’s with a very sad heart that we part ways as our now not so little one starts her journey into secondary school.
My daughter has had Vicky childminder her for over 4 years, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds from the encouragement & learning skills, of play, outside play, days out, which she has been given in the care of Vicky.
I would recommend Vickys childminder services for your child to feel cared for and you not have any worries, she encourages your children to develop, to get them ready for school.
She is caring, patient & all round a lovely person, who will make you & your children feel welcome and safe.
My daughter loved being in the care of Vicky & we still now keep in contact.
Highly recommend :)
Raouline is a fantastic childcare provider.

We couldn’t be more grateful to Kellie and Lillie for the phenomenal care, support and dedication they provide for our son and family. Since the beginning we have found that every aspect of the care has been treated with so much love and attention. The setting is wonderful, there are always consistent routines and lovely moments that are captured and shared throughout the day which is so reassuring. The development support available is something that we are so appreciative to have. Truly blessed that we have found this setting for our son, and couldn’t be happier.
Salma has been looking after our toddler who is 2 since Dec 25 and she has done an amazing job with her. She has made her feel comfortable in her own home and has been helping her in her potty training. Salma always provides regular updates and pictures/videos. Our daughter loves going to Salma's and we would highly recommend her to any parent.
If you love and care for your child, AVOID this place!
Needless to say, see ofsted review, her license was suspended. Clear reason why this childminder do not want to publish her ofsted rating.
Child come home depressed and cannot utter a word for sometime, seems like tortured.
No activities done. In small space keeps 6 child plus 2 her own kids, whereas OFSTED reported there were 8 kids + 2 her own.
Children sleep in stroller.
During summer months, no outdoor play and keeps curtain closed with indoor light and child stays frustrated being in setting lack of space.
Her parents stay with her, So i total house was occupied with atleast 12-13 members.
House will kept clean all times, no age appropriate toys for kids, what her daughters use that all she offer.
Ties children to highchair, while she put other children to nap
She was a tourture for a 21 months old boy.
