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.
Sandra has been tutoring our daughter for GCSE French and the progress has been remarkable. She has a real talent for explaining grammar clearly while keeping lessons engaging and encouraging. Our daughter’s confidence in speaking has improved significantly and she now approaches exams much more calmly. Sandra is always well prepared and adapts the lessons to exactly what the student needs. We are extremely grateful for her support and would highly recommend her.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such an exceptional childminder. From the very beginning, it was clear how much care, dedication, and genuine love goes into looking after the children. The environment is warm, safe, and welcoming, and our child settled in quickly and always comes home happy.
What truly stood out is the level of attention given to each child’s development and wellbeing. There are always engaging activities, opportunities to learn, and plenty of outdoor play, all while making the children feel comfortable and supported. Communication is also excellent — we’re always kept informed about how the day went, which gives us real peace of mind.
We would highly recommend this childminder to any parent looking for a nurturing, reliable, and truly wonderful place for their child.
Bev is truly the best!
I can’t thank Annette enough for everything she’s done for my baby boy. She has such a lovely way of making him feel special and the bond they’ve built is just so sweet to see. It’s so clear that she genuinely loves what she does. She creates a happy, nurturing space where he can just be himself.
Her communication is brilliant! She always keeps me updated on what he’s getting up to throughout the day which is so reassuring. Plus, her play area is the best honestly, it’s such a great set up for kids. Finding a childminder you truly trust isn’t easy and we feel so lucky to have found her!
We couldn't be happier with the care our daughter receives at Dougans Den. Michelle and Laura provide such a stimulating environment; our daughter is always full of smiles and comes home having clearly had the best time. They do so many great activities—lots of outdoor play, creative crafts, and fun den building. As a parent who was initially anxious about childcare, seeing how much she has flourished and how happy she is to arrive each morning has been wonderful. Highly professional and genuinely caring!
My daughter has been with Caron for just over a year now and I honestly can’t fault the care she receives, from the amazing outings and day trips, to the home cooked meals given, Caron and her family are always so friendly and welcoming.
My daughter absolutely loves her time with Caron, Andy and Caz, as well as the other children she’s made friendships with there. You can really see how much time and effort goes into looking after every child. I’m so grateful for everything they do – thank you ❤️

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Caron. Our son has been with her since November and the difference in him in just a few months has been amazing to see.
She puts so much thought and care into everything she does with the children. They are always out and about exploring, with trips to the park, playgroups and little adventures, and it is clear how much effort she puts into making each day engaging and stimulating for them.
His development has come on so much during this time. His speech has really improved, his confidence has grown, and he clearly has the best time with her.
Caron is also incredibly thoughtful about the children’s nutrition. The meals are always really healthy and balanced, with lots of variety, fruit and vegetables, and different foods for them to try. It is clear she puts real care into making sure they are eating well.
Most of all, it is so reassuring to know he is somewhere he feels safe, happy and genuinely cared for. As parents that means everything, and we are so grateful that we found her.

Sandra has been an exceptional French tutor. She is incredibly patient, encouraging and explains things in a way that makes complex grammar much easier to understand. Our child quickly gained confidence and actually started enjoying French again after just a few lessons. Sandra’s lessons are always well prepared, engaging and adapted to the student’s level and goals. We’ve seen a clear improvement in both speaking and written work, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and inspiring language teacher.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Beena highly enough. She is absolutely amazing and has been such a positive influence in my son’s life. Even at his young age of just one, she has taught him so much and supported his development in ways that really show how experienced and caring she is.
My son absolutely adores Beena. He is always so happy to see her, which as a parent means everything. He especially loves the delicious home-cooked meals she prepares, and her home has such a warm, nurturing, motherly atmosphere that truly makes it feel like a home away from home.
As a mother, trusting someone with your child is a huge step, and I was initially very nervous about putting my son into childcare. However, from the very beginning Beena completely put my mind at ease. She is attentive, caring, and clearly genuinely loves what she does.
Not only do I trust Beena completely with my son, but both his father and his grandma think she is wonderful too. We are all so grateful to have found her and truly couldn’t ask for a better childminder.
I would recommend Beena to absolutely anyone looking for a safe, loving and supportive environment for their child.

I feel incredibly lucky to have had Suzi as my sons carer She is truly wonderful—kind, patient, and completely dedicated to the children in her care. Suzi creates a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where children feel secure and happy.
She is naturally attentive and always tuned in to the children’s needs, encouraging their development while making every day fun and engaging. Her calm and caring nature means the children absolutely adore her, and as I always felt confident and reassured knowing my son was in such capable hands.
Suzi is reliable, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond in everything she does. She brings such positivity and warmth into a home, and any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her. We cannot recommend her highly enough and we were lucky enough to have her help for over 5 years
Our son has been with Carrie since he was 7 months old and is now almost 2. He's excited to see her in the morning and comes home in a great mood. Carrie provides a home away from home and clearly puts so much thought and care into her space and the days that she plans for the children. She is always taking them to fun and engaging places nearby when the weather allows, or does arts and crafts when stuck indoors which means we have lots of lovely keepsakes that are brought home. I feel my son's development was helped a lot through his time with her and the support he receives, being encouraged to learn new skills by Carrie. I always look forward to the pictures at the end of the day to see what they've been up to. Carrie has also been a great support to us as first time parents, providing advice when we've needed as she has multiple years of experience with children.

Rifka has been an absolute godsend for us and now truly see her as family! Our son has medical issues which Rifka and her team have been wonderful about. He went there refusing to eat, anxious and clingy to mummy and very quickly ran in loving his time there and eating more than we’ve even known. He’s a big fan of Rifka’s beautiful food and it’s amazing getting new flavours into him. I couldn’t recommend Rifka more, she’s the best childminder in my opinion!
I cannot recommend Marie highly enough. She has been an incredible part of my son’s life from the age of 3 all the way to 8, and the care she provided has been nothing short of outstanding.
From the very beginning, she created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where my son felt completely at ease. Her patience, kindness, and genuine love for children shone through every single day. She supported his development beautifully — from helping him settle in during those early years to encouraging his confidence, independence, and curiosity as he grew.
What I appreciated most was her consistency and reliability. I always knew my son was in safe hands, and that peace of mind is priceless. She communicated openly, celebrated his little milestones with us, and treated him with the same care and attention she would give her own family.
Over the years, my son built a strong bond with her, and it’s clear how much she has contributed to the happy, confident boy he is today. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her as part of our journey.
If you are looking for a childminder who is caring, trustworthy, and truly exceptional, Marie is the one. She has been a blessing to our family, and we are forever grateful for the love and support she has given our son.

Amazing childminder with great communication. My youngest son started off very quiet, shy, and a real mummy’s boy, but he settled in so well with her and is now very happy and comfortable. We’re so grateful for the care she gives him. Our daughter will also be joining her in a couple of months when I return to work. Would highly recommend Dawne to everyone.
My daughter Mia started going to Kerryanne when she was just 9 months old. As a first time mum, I was very nervous about leaving her with someone else, but those worries disappeared very quickly. Kerryanne was absolutely brilliant.
Mia was not only very well cared for, but Kerryanne also supported her development in so many ways – helping her learn to walk, supporting her through potty training, and encouraging her learning every day. She always had advice whenever I needed it, and as a first time mum I needed it a lot.
The communication was excellent. I was always kept updated on what Mia was doing during the day, what she was eating, and when nappies were changed. That level of communication was invaluable for me.
Kerryanne always goes above and beyond, especially during holidays, organising extra activities for the children, birthday celebrations and even visits from Santa at Christmas.
My daughter is now at school, but I still use Kerryanne during school holidays and Mia absolutely loves going back. I honestly wish Mia could stay with Kerryanne forever.
You will not only have an amazing childminder, but you will gain a friend as well. I cannot recommend her enough.
Nicky has been caring for our 1 year old since I returned to work. She is such a kind and caring person, giving our little girl the comfort she needed during her first experience of care outside of home. Nicky provides a warm and inviting home where children can play and feel secure. Highly recommend

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.
