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 wife and I were looking for a childminder on an ad-hoc basis so we could occasionally go out for date nights. Cotema was very easy to communicate with and always responded to messages promptly, which made arranging everything straightforward.
When I visited her home, she was very friendly and reassuring, which immediately made us feel comfortable. Her place was tidy and well set up for children, with plenty of toys, games and activities available. It was clear that she is very experienced in looking after kids and that children feel comfortable in her home.
Our six-year-old son stayed with her until late in the evening and had a great time. In fact, he didn’t want to leave and said he would like to come back again.
I would definitely recommend Cotema as a childminder, and we will certainly be choosing her again in the future.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Kerreyanne as the childminder for all three of our children. Our children, now aged 12, 8 and 5, were all in her care from just 2 months old right through until they started school at 5, and we truly could not have asked for a better person to help shape those early years.
Kerreyanne is far more than a childminder to our family — she has become a huge part of it. She has always shown genuine love, patience and dedication to every child she cares for, and our children absolutely adored their time with her.
Our eldest son struggled socially when he was younger, and Kerreyanne worked so patiently with him to develop his confidence and social skills. Through play, encouragement and carefully planned activities, she helped him learn how to interact with others and build friendships — something that has made such a difference to him as he has grown.
Our middle child experienced speech delay, and Kerreyanne went above and beyond to support him. She used a range of creative methods, activities and communication techniques to help develop his speech and language, always keeping us informed and working with us so we could continue supporting him at home as well.
When we began the journey of seeking an autism diagnosis for our youngest, Kerreyanne was an incredible source of support. She helped us understand behaviours, showed us strategies we could use at home, and approached everything with such patience, knowledge and compassion. Having someone so experienced and supportive during that time meant the world to us.
Even now, years later, I still go to Kerreyanne for advice and guidance when I have concerns about the children. She always makes time to listen, offers thoughtful advice, and supports us with the same care she always has.
As a childminder, Kerreyanne creates a warm, safe and nurturing environment where children feel secure and happy. Her home is always full of engaging activities — from crafts and messy play to outdoor adventures, learning activities, and opportunities for children to develop independence and confidence. She encourages kindness, good manners, curiosity and creativity in every child she cares for.
Communication with parents has always been excellent. Kerreyanne kept us updated with everything from milestones and daily routines to any concerns or achievements, and she always worked in partnership with us to support our children’s development.
Most importantly, she truly cares. Every child in her care is treated like part of the family, and that love and dedication shines through in everything she does.
We will always be incredibly grateful for the role Kerreyanne has played in our children’s lives and development. She gave them the best possible start, and we honestly cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for a caring, knowledgeable and devoted childminder.
I have just brought my 2-year-old daughter to this Amazing nursery. The staff welcomed me in a very nice and supportive way, the building is safe and there's plenty of space for children to play, they have a garden and trampoline which is good for every child to explore. What reassuring me is this App that I can connect to see everything my daughter is doing during the day also getting some pictures. So far my daughter is happy and always sing some songs at home that she has learnt at the nursery. I recommend this nursery because it is definitely safe for our children.

I have used Fatima for babysitting for the past 4 years. She has always been dependable and reliable and is so so good with children. Always warm and friendly. I urgently needed some wrap around care after having to go back to work and Fatima has been picking and dropping my children off from school and looking after them until I return. The kids love going to her house so much she’s almost become another family member! Would highly recommend!
Our son has been with Jo 2–3 days a week since he had just turned one, and we couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. We were very nervous about choosing someone to look after our little boy, but from the very beginning she has treated him like one of her own family, creating such a warm, caring and safe environment for him.
He loves going to her house and is always so excited to see her, which means everything. It’s so reassuring to know he is somewhere he feels happy and comfortable, and he has made some lovely friendships with the other children too.
Jo keeps us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which we really appreciate and love seeing. It’s clear how much time, care and attention she gives to the children, and we’ve seen such lovely development in our son during the time he’s been with her.
We feel very lucky to have found Jo and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other families.
My little girl has been with Kerri and Amy for almost 2 years. Kerri was so reassuring when she first started and she settled in really quickly. My little girl was born with hip dysplasia and unfortunately had to have surgery when she was 11 months old. Kerri and Amy have supported her post op journey and have followed the surgeons advice at all times. Her development has been amazing since being there both physically and educationally. I think the woodland/outdoor setting has really helped her mobility. She has grown in confidence, her speech is really good and this is all because of Kerri and Amy’s care! Kerri keeps you updated on your little one during the day which is really nice. My little girl loves it so much and I truat Kerri and Amy wholeheartedly. I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant and my unborn baby is already signed up for September 2027! Highly recommend :)

We are so excited to start with Emma as our childminder, from the very first visits and what we’ve seen so far, I can already tell she’s going to be amazing!
Her home setting feels so welcoming and truly homely – it’s cosy, calm, and has that lovely warm and nurturing vibe that makes the children (and parents!) feel instantly at ease.
Emma herself comes across as incredibly kind and thoughtful. She’s gentle with little ones, really listens, and has a natural way with children that puts them at ease straight away.
Emma picks up on what the children love to play with and builds from there – whether it’s following their lead with toys, starting a game based on their interests, or adapting activities on the spot. It feels personal and child-led, which is brilliant.
The activities we’ve seen are nicely varied too – a good mix of indoor play, creative stuff, and outdoor time when possible, keeping things fresh and engaging.
She’s been reliable with our communications so far, and very adaptive around opening and closing times – we’ve already appreciated her flexibility with our schedule, which makes such a difference when juggling work.
The app for updates looks great (we’ve seen some lovely examples), and I’m looking forward to those daily check-ins with photos and notes.
Most of all, you can just tell Emma genuinely cares and truly loves what she does. The way she interacts, smiles, and engages with the children – it’s clear this is a passion for her, not just a job.
Highly recommend based on everything we’ve seen so far!
The children never want Molly to leave!
Molly is a true Nanny family support. She has shown herself to be flexible, adapting to the needs of the children so I never have to feel like they are missing out when Molly is here.
Molly does school pick ups and drop offs and is always punctual.
Dinner and bed time routines are respected which means a lot to know I can come back after work and know what to expect.
I’d happily recommend Molly to any family needing some support.
We were incredibly lucky to find Katalina! My son absolutely adores her. She is kind, warm, highly educated, creative, adaptive and loving. She always plans developmentally appropriate and engaging activities for my toddler in advance. She ensured he meets all his milestones. They play, go out, she ensures the environment and food is always safe for him. When he’s asleep she helps around house where possible and we have a really good relationship. She works for us for almost two years now. Any family is extremely lucky to have her for her children. She also has lot of certifications and renews them regularly. She plays music and sings like an angel, my son loves her playing violin, recorder and piano. She introduced countless of stories, songs, rhymes and makes every minute with my son count.

Ellie is an amazing babysitter I found her on here years ago and she has been an absolute God send ever since. She is absolutely fantastic with my two children. She really is so caring, loving and kind. Dont know what I would do without her, she really is one in a million!!
My son Ezra has been coming here since he was 9 months old and is soon to turn 3. He absolutely adores both Sam and Laura and loves coming to see them and his friends. They’re always doing interesting activities or experiments, having trips out and we constantly get updated with what Ezra has done throughout the day. We are so happy that we chose Little Explauras for him to go to and will be very sad when he leaves to start school. The ladies are so kind and welcoming and ensure all of the children in their care get the best start to education, play and building friendships/relationships. We bring packed lunches and are always updated on how much they’ve eaten through the app they use, and they encourage the children to sit with their friends at the table. Thank you guys for everything you’ve done for us! X
My little girl has been going to Laura’s since just after she turned one and she absolutely loves it there. She thrives so much in the environment Laura provides and has come on leaps and bounds with her development and communication.
Both Arabella and us as parents are always made to feel so welcome, and Laura and Sam really do go above and beyond for all of the children they care for. It’s such a warm and loving environment.
Arabella also has allergies and Laura is great at accommodating for this, which gives us so much peace of mind. It’s clear that her needs are taken seriously and catered for, and we always feel reassured knowing she is safe and well looked after.
I especially love the updates we get during the day, including photographs from the setting. It’s so reassuring to see what she’s been up to and it’s clear to see how much she has bonded with Laura, Sam and the other children.
I was so nervous leaving her when she first started, but now it truly feels like a home from home, and I know she is looked after and cared for just as much as she is at home. I’m so happy I chose a childminder setting for her, especially Laura’s. We’re so happy in fact that we’ve already booked our 3 month old in for when the time comes.
Thank you so much Laura and Sam, we are so grateful we have you both 🫶
My son has been attending Tanya’s setting for more than six months now, and I feel very lucky that we found her.
From the beginning she has been incredibly caring, patient and attentive with him. As a parent, it means so much to see your child happy and excited to go to their childminder, and my son truly enjoys his time with Tanya.
She provides a safe, warm and welcoming environment and plans lovely activities that help him learn and develop while having fun. Tanya also communicates very well with me and always keeps me informed, which I really appreciate.
It is clear that she genuinely cares about the children she looks after. I feel completely comfortable leaving my son in her care and would highly recommend her to other parents.
We were extremely lucky to have Sian as a nanny to our 6 month old. We picked Sian because of her amazing reviews and w can confirm they are true!
Sian is a highly competent professional and takes great pride in what she does including bringing new sensory toys and books from her house for my baby to explore every day. Sian goes above and beyond and my baby loved all the foot massages! She is a wealth of knowledge about anything to do with child development and child psychology and you can tell that she really wants to develop and nurture your child as a whole. Sian even helped pram train my baby for me! Our time with Sian was very short but we are glad that she was available as I had 100% confidence and trust in her.
Mar has worked for us since 2023 and is fully hands on, hard working, caring, honest, reliable and is happy to do any extra house work jobs.
She’s very easy to get on with and is great at communication.
She’s been an invaluable help in our home.
She’s very patient and caring with the children and always plans fun things to do with them which is great for keeping them entertained. Thank you Mar .
I am afraid the earlier review by my ex-wife cannot be taken seriously. She terminated Jenny's contract after almost 4yrs of amazing care of our son (and my ex-wife's eldest son by a previous marriage), purely to make life difficult for me. This review is nothing but an unkind way of justifying her actions after I asked for the family courts and CAFCASS to get involved. Even then Jenny accepted her decision with dignity and diplomacy.
Jenny is much loved by our two boys, she has been a constant and positive influence on their lives and she will continue to do so when our son is with me. She is a pleasure to have around, she is professional, courteous, kind, safe and attentive. To be honest we struggled to get her to actually bill us for all the overtime and extras she did. She has looked after our nieces and nephews, our friends kids, our house, our dog, she has come on holiday with us and taken our son on holiday with her. I cannot say enough good about her as a person and a nanny and I would happily give her a glowing reference or answer any questions anyone might have. You and your kids would be lucky to have Jenny in your lives.

Leanne has been caring for me two little girls (aged 2.5 and 1) for a couple of weeks now. At first I was apprehensive with never really having left the girls with anyone other than family before. But Leanne put all my worries to ease in just one meeting. The girls have really settled and my eldest daughter shows so much excitement and enthusiasm to be with Leanne and her new friends. The range of service Leanne provides from food to days out and even photos of the girls throughout the day really shows how much she cares about every aspect. Over the moon with the service.
Beth has a beautiful home setting. Two of my grandchildren have been going to Beths for the last 4 years. She has many activities for the children to enjoy and celebrates certain times of the year from world book day to Christmas even with a visit from Santa. Beth is not just a childminder she is part of the family. She goes above and beyond protecting the children and I personally would not wish for my grandchildren to go any where else. If you are looking for a second to none childminder then look no further.
