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.
Wonderful childminder. She is kind, patient and professional. I always felt confident leaving my child in her care.
I have used Rabeya for almost two years since my daughter started reception. As a full-time working parent, I needed someone reliable, flexible, and easy to communicate with, and Rabeya has been all of that. My daughter has always been happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for quality childcare.
My son has been with Heather since February 2023, and from the very beginning she has treated him as though he were part of her own family. He recently started school and still talks about her constantly — he misses her so much, which says everything about the care she provides.
Heather is an exceptional childminder. She offers a wonderful variety of trips and experiences, including visits to the beach, Sealife Centre, woods, parks, and local farms. She regularly attends toddler groups in the area and has great links with other childminders, which has helped my son build friendships with lots of other children.
She is incredibly creative and always plans themed crafts and activities for occasions such as Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day and more. She also tailors activities to each child’s interests — my son loves space, and she went out of her way to read space‑themed stories, find colouring books, and plan activities around his favourite topic.
Meals and snacks are always thoughtful and fun. She prepares lovely “picky plates” with fruit and veg, and even uses cookie cutters to make sandwiches in different shapes, which my son absolutely loved.
Heather also creates her own activities — for example, at Halloween she made little spider mazes using tweezers to help develop fine motor skills. Her imagination and effort shine through in everything she does.
On a personal level, Heather has gone above and beyond for us on several occasions, including helping with pick‑ups when my car wasn’t working. She is easy‑going, supportive, and genuinely makes life easier as a working parent. She is reliable, rarely takes annual leave, and is always committed to the children in her care.
I couldn’t recommend Heather highly enough. She has been a huge part of my son’s early years, and we are so grateful for everything she has done for him.

Our eldest daughter has been going to Sara's for 7 and a half years, and our youngest for a year now and the care she provides goes above and beyond any other childcare setting we have ever experience. Sara creates a home from home for the children so they are always excited to go to be in her care! Sara puts on activities for the children for all occasions which they thoroughly enjoy and talk about continuously after. The days out she does with the children are beyond our expectations and are both engaging, educational and enjoyable for children of all ages. We couldnt wish for a better person to look after our children and they have both thrived in her care. The caring nature she has towards every child individually is second to none, and she takes the time to learn every single childs likes and tailors activities towards these too! We will never be able to thank Sara enough for all she does for our children.
After a rocky attempt at settling in our then 11 months old daughter at nursery, which resulted in more distress for her than we were prepared for, we were nervous about her starting childcare away from home in general.
Upon meeting Rachel, we were immediately reassured. She is an experienced professional, who is caring and a natural with this age group. She is clearly really thoughtful about her approach, which starts with the settling in process. She takes time and care to understand each child as an individual they are, and you can tell how passionate she is about her role. Within a week, our daughter was settled and happy.
Rachel takes the children out on park walks and to her allotment. Our daughter's language and social skills have really developed already in the few months that she had spent there.
We would 100% recommend Rachel to any parents looking for a home from home environment for their child.
My son has been attending Golden Hearts for 2 weeks now and although still early days, he has progressed massively !
Lynda provides fun creative but educational activities for the children which is a good balance.
Lynda has an app where everything is uploaded ,mealtimes, personal care, nappy changes, sleep times, feeds and photos of activities the children are doing , this is extremely useful especially so I can check in at anytime to see how my son is doing throughout the day.
I was very apprehensive putting my son into childcare when returning to work as he is still young, but I’m very confident and happy with the care, support, education and love Lynda provides.
Lynda has a genuine caring, loving and nurturing personality and home, where I feel confident my son is safe.
I feel at ease knowing I can contact Lynda anytime throughout the day and her response is always very quick.
I highly recommend Lynda at Golden Hearts Tiney Nursery!

Katie made us feel so at ease when she babysat for our 1 year old. She came to meet her a week before to make sure we were all a good fit for each other. Katie made a real effort to interact with our daughter and was brilliant at keeping her relaxed. Her communication was really prompt and clear. We can’t recommend her enough ☺️

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Jasmin caring for our 1-year-old. From the very beginning, she showed exceptional patience, warmth, and genuine love for our child. She is attentive, nurturing, and always fully engaged, making us feel completely confident and at ease while our baby was in her care.
Jasmin has a wonderful understanding of age-appropriate development and consistently supported our child’s growth through play, learning activities, and positive routines. She is reliable, punctual, and communicates clearly, always keeping us informed about our child’s day, milestones, and needs. Highly recomend!
Cannot recommend Jen highly enough! Right from the start Jen worked hard to ensure both mine and my babies needs were met, establishing nurturing bonds and offering a number of settling sessions to help both me and my baby settle. I am provided regular updates throughout the day and Jen shared an overview of the day on collection. My baby enjoys outings and excellent activities at her wonderful home and garden setting. Jen truly does go above and beyond for all the children. I am grateful our baby is one of the small ratio she works with.
I highly recommend Kathryn, she looked after my 7 year boy and she done a fantastic job and shes very lovely and friendly too. Very clean and tidy. My boy was well fed and entertained changed and she got him to go sleep at a great time also communication was on point :) thank you to kathryn :)

We have known Zsofia for years now and she's been wonderful with our 3 kids. She is very punctual, calm, caring and engaged with kids play, music, learning and healthy snack preparation. My kids always ask about her and when she is coming again, they adore her which is always a great sign 😊 I would definitely recommend her to other families and will see her again for AdHoc care in the future!
Anne Marie has worked with us for over a year. She started at the birth of my second son and helped me through the toughest year of my life whilst he worked abroad. She is nurturing and playful with my 2 year old and has built a wonderful relationship with my baby. She goes above and beyond, is reliable, hard working and takes instructions well. Helps with housework where possible and took on additional responsibilities when I was ill. She sings, cooks healthy treat for my baby and is very clean. We couldn’t have asked for more.

My son was with debbie from 6 months to 3 year old till he went school nursery, Debbie looked after my son and put my mind at rest each day, so caring and friendly my little boys face lit up each day he went, when he little older he would run in , I was sad for him to leave , i've recommended Debbie to everyone and comfortable doing this , I'm so glad I found Debbie to look after my son thanks Debbie 🥰
I would not recommend this childcare provider. Despite agreeing to my varying work hours at the outset, issues quickly arose. My child’s name and my own were repeatedly used incorrectly despite several corrections. The contract was terminated after I questioned a payment, and the termination form contained inaccuracies that were ignored. I am still awaiting my refund, and communication has stopped. I have retained written message evidence if required.
I don't know how Naila does it full time! She is available whenever we need her. I'm a nurse and sometimes work night shifts and have random community patients here and there and she really just makes my schedule possible as she's always there for us. My first boy grew with her from when he was 1 and he's now 4. He's made friends there and have made her home his home. My second boy is now growing up with her too and from the moment Naila held him, I knew he felt that warmth from her. He never just went with anyone at that time. Now he's so free and loves her and her family. We are so so thankful for you. What can we do without you, Naila?! Here's credit to her kids and her new assistant too. The whole family is just amazing! Thank you! 💞
I have used Rabeya’s services for over five years since my eldest son was in reception. She is very reliable, flexible and caring, the kids absolutely adores her. She now also looks after my two year old since he was one. I would recommend Rabeya to anyone who is looking for a reliable childminder in the area.
We used Renata for our new born baby boy from around 1 month. She has been excellent in looking after him, understanding his needs and wants and caring for him as much as any mum could wish for. He hasnt been an easy baby and Renata has made me feel secure in leaving him with her and knowing that she sends me updates when he's settled which has meant so much.
I wouldnt hesitate in recommending her to anyone.

Jo looked after me for years as a baby and a child. Not only did my mum trust her with me, but also my two younger siblings. Jo’s services took loads of stress away from my mum as she was working part time with 3 kids, 5 and under. I have some amazing memories and keep sakes from her. I’m turning 20 this year and she’s still a close family friend of ours and will never forget all the amazing things she did for me and my siblings. She is friendly, caring, supportive and has the kindest heart. She created a safe and loving environment away from home for us and gave the best hugs. She gave us snacks after school, ensured we had plenty of fun and documented it in books for mum to see what we were up to. I know that one day I will trust Jo with my kids!!
