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 am very happy with the care and support provided. The staff are kind, professional, and always make sure the children feel safe, happy, and comfortable. The setting is always clean, organised, and welcoming.
My children Jennifer and Alexandru enjoys attending after school and has learned so much while being here. Communication with parents is very good, and I always feel informed and reassured. I highly recommend Reema to any family looking for quality childcare.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder than Nicole (“Nic Nic”). From day one, she has created a warm, fun, and engaging environment that both of our children have absolutely loved being part of.
Nicole has a gift for making every day exciting. There are always thoughtful activities planned, along with daily trips out, which the kids look forward to so much — and all are included, which is such a bonus. It’s clear how much effort she puts into creating opportunities for them to play, explore and learn.
She is also incredibly reliable. Short of being on death’s door, Nicole is always there, which gives us huge peace of mind as working parents. More importantly, she consistently puts the children’s wellbeing first. We have always felt they are in a safe, caring environment, and she will always communicate any concerns with us.
We’ve really valued the updates she provides during the day — hearing what they’ve been up to, what they’ve eaten, and how their day has gone. She offers a great variety of food (even if our older one doesn’t always agree!), and it’s reassuring to know they’re being so well looked after.
Our children are now 3.5 and 1.5, and both have been with Nicole since they were 10 months old. Watching them grow and thrive under her care has been wonderful. We are absolutely gutted to be leaving due to moving out of the area — otherwise, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay with her right through to reception.
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Nicole as such an important part of our children’s early years and can’t recommend her highly enough.

I required a child minder unexpectedly, having not engaged such services previously. I asked her to care for our daughter without even meeting her. I chose Michelle based on her profile. It was very risky, very unlike us, but we had no choice due to the circumstances we suddenly found ourselves in.
Our 2 year old daughter has thrived in Michelle's care, her speech has come on massively and her personality. Our daughter will speak about Michelle every day she is not in her care, her weekends are spent asking what time she is being dropped to 'Michelle's house'.
I can 100% say Michelle is the best thing to happen to us and our daughter and we are so grateful for her, I have nothing negative to say about Michelle and no concerns whatsoever.
She is a decent, hard working individual who I can highly recommend and has an excellent routine and structure in place for the children.
I left a review a few years ago about my elder son James who spent a couple of years with Georgina and he was very happy. My second son is now going to her setting and once again, the experience is great. He's so happy and excited to go to her house, has made really good friends and his general happiness and confidence is I'm sure also connected to the time he spent with Georgina.

Ila is an absolute gem and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. Our son is always excited to see her and drop offs have never been a battle, which says everything. She creates such a warm environment where the children clearly feel completely at ease. She sets up the most wonderful sensory activities, makes sure they get plenty of outdoor time and play every day and serves a varied and balanced diet that we really appreciate. It truly is a home from home setting. We don’t know what we would do without her! 🩷
Tatyana, along with her team, are really doing a wonderful job. You can tell she genuinely cares about the children and their development. She supported my toddlers patiently as they settled in, which made a big difference in those early days.
They can be quite fussy with food, but she and her staff have taken the time to adapt meals so they actually eat well and enjoy the home cooked food, which I really appreciate.
Her setting is spotless and clean.
It’s been lovely to see my boys grow in confidence and start to thrive. They’re happy, engaged, and genuinely enjoy going each day. I also value the regular updates on their development, it gives real reassurance and helps me feel connected to what they’re doing.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her setting to other parents.
Claire started looking after my eldest daughter when she was approx 16 months old and started with my youngest when she was only 9 months. They have absolutely blossomed under her incredible care and are confident, happy and independent children as a result. Although Claire is incredibly caring she is also fun (!) and children are encouraged to be adventurous and enjoy themselves! Claire is definitely talented with children and each child she looks after feels completely at home with her, she is able to bring the best out of each child so they are happy, relaxed and fully themselves. Claire is very conscientious about nutrition and everyone gets delicious home cooked meals and snacks. Claire organises exhilarating weekly schedules for the children and they enjoy the beautiful countryside around her house and participate in toddler groups, soft play and local activities where they mix with other children. I am so grateful to Claire, and want to keep her in my daughters’ lives as long as possible. She is a true wonder!
I highly recommend Tiba as a childminder. My son has been with her since he was one, and over the past two years she has been absolutely wonderful. She is caring, patient, and really helps children build confidence and independence—I’ve seen such positive growth in my son. He has become more confident, curious, and willing to try things on his own.
Most importantly, my son loves going to Tiba—he’s always excited in the morning, which says it all. Tiba communicates clearly with us every day and truly cares about the children she looks after.
She provides amazing home-cooked meals that are healthy and balanced, and my son always eats so well with her. Tiba also goes above and beyond with activities like regular park trips, library and children centre visits, and even occasional outings to the zoo.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Tiba, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a nurturing, reliable, and truly outstanding childminder.
I rang Ruhama in the early morning looking for an emergency babysitter and she was kindly able to accommodate my son at very short notice. I’m very pleased and impressed with how well my son settled in and the level of care and kindness she showed my son. It is quite evident Ruhama is very experienced and loves children in general. The home environment is also very clean. Ruhama is very friendly and I have already built a good rapport with her. I will definitely be utilising her service again. Thank you x
Gina worked with our family as a babysitter for approximately eleven months, caring for our young children in our home.
During this time, she was very playful and joyful towards the children she was attentive and developed a warm relationship with them. She supported their daily routines and helped with activities such as playtime, reading, and preparing simple meals.
Gina approached her role with a sweet attitude and was open to guidance as she continued to develop her childcare experience. We appreciate the care she provided to our family during her time with us.
We wish her all the best in her future roles.
My daughter has been attending Amy’s setting for almost 2 years and I could not be happier with the time she has spent there.
As I have worked in early years myself for a very long time, I was very selective about where I wanted my daughter to spend her time and who would be caring for her. From that first conversation with Amy, I knew this was the perfect fit. Amy is so passionate about early years and all areas of their development. From the creative activities that are incredibly thought out, to the wonderful days trips they have shared together. My daughter has been given memories and experiences to last a lifetime.
Children are encouraged to express themselves in all ways possible - whether this be getting messy, learning new languages or physically through football clubs or climbing equipment (my daughter’s personal favourite).
To see her thrive over the past two years has been a great happiness to myself and my husband and we are truly grateful to Amy and the whole team for allowing her to do so.

Caroline has been looking after my baby since she was 5 months old (now 11 months) and we’re constantly amazed by how brilliant her childminding service is. My daughter is so happy & at home there, really well looked after and is developing so well in this environment. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Sophie
Caroline has looked after my one-year old on a number of occasions and he’s always had a lovely time with her. She is very experienced having nannied for many years, as well as raised her own children, so I’ve felt comfortable leaving my son with her. Caroline is very kind with him and also good fun. I’ve also appreciated her punctuality, reliability and flexibility - which have all made my life far easier.

Sarah provides a truly outstanding childcare setting. Our daughter started in September 2025 at 14 months old, and in that time, she has flourished. Sarah plans such varied, engaging activities, from sensory play and messy crafts to frequent outdoor trips, that perfectly support early childhood development. Her focus on nurturing independence while providing a safe, warm and home from home environment has made a massive difference to our daughter's confidence and social skills.
Sarah’s communication is great and she provides detailed daily feedback, which makes being a working parent so much easier. Her genuine love for working with children shines through. Our daughter adores her and watching her run in with a smile on her face each morning, is lovely.
She is a true gem and we wouldn't want anyone else looking after our daughter!
Hi Lesley, I'm so sorry for doing this now!
My daughter joined the Moffats Monkeys at age 2, and she really loved going there to the point that she was never so happy when I went to pick her up. Josie loved spending time with the children, and both Lesley and John showed her so much love and care. I also had a great relationship with them and I was always kept in the loop. What I really loved about Lesley was the fact that she everything she did for the children came from her heart: she was always very patient with Josie, went all the way for them, the activities and games were fun and educative. Josie learned how to read and write her name before she left for reception. She showed confidence in everything she did and still does.
I really recommend The Moffats Monkeys to all parents in the area!
Millfield Montessori Childminding has been absolutely amazing for my children. They are always so happy and excited to go, which says everything as a parent. Dee clearly has such a genuine love and care for the children, and it really shows in everything she does.
In just three months, I’ve already seen such a difference in what they’ve learnt and how they’ve developed. The Montessori approach really shines through, and it’s lovely to see them growing in confidence and independence every day.
I feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such a nurturing, safe, and supportive environment. I couldn’t recommend Dee and Millfield Montessori Childminding enough
We are very happy with the care our child receives. She is kind, patient, and very attentive to the children’s needs. The environment is safe, clean, and welcoming, and my child always feels comfortable and happy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring childminder.
We started sending our daughter to Alison when she was 6 months old, she has now just moved on to nursery and is just about to turn 2. We have had the most amazing experience with Alison and I can’t put into words how grateful we are that we found her. Daisy has always come home happy, and had the most wonderful experience in Alison’s setting.
She has learnt so much from Alison and from the other children she interacted with, as well as the weekly music session which she absolutely adored.
Daisy has always been fed well and the communication has also always been excellent. We are so sad to be moving on but hope to return in the future if we have anymore children!

Unfortunately I have to leave a bad review for Erinn. She led me on for weeks making me believe that she would take care of my son who has special needs. We agreed times and fees. Everything was arranged and ready to go. We just had to meet to settle the deal. She never showed up. Then hours later gave me a very far fetched reason why she couldn't make it. Promised to call me back and never did. She has left me in a difficult position.
