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.
Marcia is an angel. She was my sisters nanny for her 3 kids for a number of years and was absolutely amazing. She now minds our three year old Daughter Violet whenever we need some help. Violet loves her so much, Marcia is so calm, warm and welcoming. Her experience and kindness shines through always - even when Violet is being difficult Marcia is always loving and understanding. We love Marcia! When Violet is with marcia for an evening or all day long we always feel like she is with family. Can’t reccomend her enough :)
Our child has been attending Happy Hearts Home for over a year now.
We are very happy with the childminder. Happy Hearts Home provide full support and opportunity for development to our child. Children are constantly getting involved with various activities, learning new things and getting the best experience they can throughout the day.
Our child wants to go back everyday.
We strongly recommend it.
Claire is truly the babysitter I’ve ever had. She is friendly, enthusiastic and reliable and my children adore her. She began babysitting after I had my second baby and she was always on time, positive and wonderfully helpful. I cannot recommend her enough. Truly wonderful.
I highly recommend Adriana as a childminder.
My daughter adapted very quickly with her after she going to nursery for 6 months and I am very excited about the diverse activities they do every day.
I also like the environment in which my little girl is welcomed daily and offers her all the support she needs in developing and learning about life.
When she thinks something is wrong with the child, she lets you know without being ashamed to tell you.
I highly recommend it because at Chilminder, compared to nursery, children receive more attention and involvement because it is a small group of children.
At the end of each day, Adriana shares with us how the child's day went and what they learned, givet to us worksheets and pictures to each individual.
Adriana, with her several years of experience as a childminder, knows how to help children to be ready for school and have a rich knowledge base in their new stage in life.
I thank her for his involvement and dedication.
We worked with Zehra, in her role as a night nurse. Zehra was consistently professional and punctual, and her positive, reassuring manner immediately put us at ease as new parents. As someone who values planning ahead, I truly appreciated her willingness to commit to longer-term arrangements, as well as her flexibility when plans naturally shifted. She integrated seamlessly into our home thanks to her proactive, friendly approach. Zehra generously shared her extensive newborn experience whenever needed, while always respecting and supporting our individual preferences and routines. She was an invaluable support during those early weeks, giving us restful nights and the chance to properly recharge. I would highly recommend her without hesitation.
Louise has looked after my son for nearly 3 years now. She is wonderful in every way. He is always happy to go, does a variety of activities and outings and always comes back clean and happy. Louise shares updates of what the kids have been doing with photos and commentary. My niece now also goes to Louise and is really happy there too. Nothing is a drama or too much trouble whether it’s to do with eating, behaviour or potty training, it’s all taken in her stride and she has worked with us to help our son when needed. I can’t recommend Louise highly enough.
We can’t recommend Ramona’s highly enough - our daughter attended her setting for a year from age 1 and absolutely loved it and developed so well during her time at Ramona’s. We wanted a setting that had the benefit of being small and nurturing, but still had plenty of children of different ages to play and be friends with, and found that at Ramona’s - we only left because our little one moved to a bilingual nursery.
The setting is organised, clean, and kitted out really well, with lots of engaging and educational toys and books, has a good routine for children, and healthy and varied food. Ramona is always running fun and educational activities and themed days for the children (and sometimes including the parents - like a summer party, a sports day, and a Christmas party), with a good balance of arts and crafts, singing, exercise, music, learning, and playing outside.
Ramona and her staff are caring, welcoming and experienced, and have a lovely and supportive relationship with both children and parents. All in all highly recommend!

It’s never an easy decision finding childcare for your child especially as a first time mum. When I met Tanya I instantly knew my child would be cared for, stimulated and have their days filled with love and laughter. My child has been minded for for over a year now and always comes home happy. Often talking about Tanya and their friends. Tanya goes above and beyond to entertain the children daily and their days are often filled with days out which was so important to me when choosing childcare. I’m always made aware of how they’ve been/slept/eaten and sent so many pictures that make me feel a lot less guilty and more involved. I couldn’t be happier with our choice and I know my child is thriving because of the care they receive.
I enrolled my baby with snuggly Starz when he was about 6 months. I was looking for someone who could care for him since he was young and had flexible availability. My experience with snuggly Starz was amazing. The way I have seen my baby grow over the months has been amazing. He is very independent. The team always communicates, sends progress videos and images and very flexible. I am happy to have had a wonderful experience as a first time mum
Anita worked as a nanny for my family from October 2023 to January 2025. She left when my youngest turned three and started at a school nursery. At the start of her employment my children were 3 and 1. My children immediately warmed to Anita at the interview and happily left the house with her during the trial day. At this point I knew she would be perfect for our family.
Anita is very patient, reliable and kind and takes great pride in her work. She is an excellent cook and always made sure that the house was tidy when she finished for the day. Anita was equally confident playing at home with the children and taking them out to parks and playgroups. She has her own car, insured for business use, which increased the range of activities our children could experience. Anita and her family have become close family friends and I still occasionally book her for nannying work when she is free. Anita had a very positive effect on my children and they always look forward to seeing her.
I highly recommend Anita as a nanny. Her next family will be very lucky to employ her.
We cannot recommend Tanya highly enough as a childminder. Our eldest daughter started with Tanya in 2020. During this time, Tanya gave her the very best start to her educational journey. Through fun, structured activities, encouragement and endless patience, she helped build our daughter’s confidence, independence and love of learning.
Tanya has every quality you would hope for in a childminder and more. She is kind, nurturing, reliable, professional and incredibly attentive to each child’s individual needs. She creates a safe, stimulating and happy environment where children are supported emotionally, socially and developmentally. Communication is excellent, and we always felt completely reassured knowing our child was in such capable and caring hands.
Tanya is so exceptional that when our second daughter was born in 2024, there was no question about where she would go — we put her name down to start with Tanya in September 2024. From day one, Tanya has showered her with love and care, just as she did with our first child.
Every morning, our daughter runs into Tanya’s with excitement and is always greeted with a friendly, warm smile. Seeing how happy and settled our children were and are speaks volumes. If you know your child is happy, safe and loved, what more could you want?
Tanya is truly one of a kind and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her care for both of our children.
Tanya has cared for my daughter for a while now, initially when i was searching for a minder, i was scared as i have always cared for my daughter myself, but tanya slowly helped her transition , my daughter is always happy to go to tanyas, she also made friends there as well.
Tanya also send pictures so i can see whats she’s up to. I will really recommend her, i trusted my instinct with her minding my sweet precious daughter, i have no regrets so far

Our daughter has been looked after by Tanya for amongst 5 years. She’s now at school but still loves going after school a few days per week and in the school holidays. She has absolutely thrived since being there. From day one we felt completely at ease leaving her in her care. She is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about each child. She goes above and beyond for us as a family, offering extra support where needed. They do lots of an activities, out and about and at home, they go to the park, the beach, soft play, tots groups etc. She keeps things fun, stimulating and age-appropriate, and the communication with parents is brilliant – we always know how our daughter’s day has been. She is great with helping with potty training, giving up dummies, putting their own coats on, learning new skills. We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

My little one has been with Tanya since he was 7 months old, he loves it here. He is welcomed and cared for every day and he jumps with joy, to go and see his friends and see what fun filled days they have in store. He has developed so many new skills and continues to grow his little personality. Thank you for all your hard work.
We first met Priya in 2015 when we'd just moved to the area and were looking for some childminding support for our then two year old daughter! Our daughter spent around three days a week with Priya and Kids in Motion and had such a fantastic time. She was supported and nurtured, and the range of activities was excellent. We then left the area, but have now returned with our now eleven year old daughter and also our nine year old. Our girls still remember Priya and she now comes to babysit. So I can attest that Priya is great with all ages. Our girls feel secure and looked after and are always excited to see Priya again!

I cannot recommend Simonetta enough. Netta is so nurturing, caring & has felt like an extension of our family. I saw an incredible difference in my child due to the time she had spent with Simonetta. My daughter grew confidence, gained lots of new skills, gained knowledge of so many things and absolutely adored Simonetta & all the trips she went on. The communication is always very clear & consistent. My daughter enjoyed every second she spent at Danette Childminding. This was my first experience using a childminder as we used a nursery for our eldest daughter and I can confidently say i wish we used Simonetta for our eldest as the experience of a childminder is a lot more personal, more one to one time, better communication & overall a much better experience was had for my youngest daughter. Simonetta is so kind, caring, nurturing & always so happy to be around. We as a family will miss going to Simonetta now that my daughter has moved on and this is down to the positive impact Simonetta has made on our daughter. Highly recommend as Simonetta is the best around!
I found Katia through this website, and I could not have been more fortunate. She has been the most supportive and caring caregiver I could ever have imagined for my child. The immense trust I have in her has made it possible for me to continue my career and care for my family—and myself—with peace of mind.
My daughter, Olivia, faces developmental delays due to a brain bleed at birth. Every milestone is hard-won; she sat independently at 1.5 years old and only recently began walking at 2.5 years old. Through every single step of this challenging journey, Katia has been there. She has loved Olivia unconditionally and provided unwavering support.
Katia’s patience, knowledge, and deep respect for children are nothing short of amazing. I truly could not navigate the complexities of parenting my wonderful girl without her. She is definitely gifted with the qualities that make an exceptional caregiver. We are forever grateful to have found her.

Sophie looked after our daughter Florence for 18 months while our family was in the south west. As well as being a lovely person, Sophie is an absolute natural with little ones, very caring, creative and fun! She consistently provided Florence with a variety of brilliant activities and outings to help support her development. Florence grew in confidence in her gentle care and we are so grateful! We highly recommend Sophie!
