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.
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!
We couldn’t be happier with our childminder. She has been absolutely amazing with my daughter, who has been going to her since she was just six months old. From the very beginning, my daughter has always been happy and excited to go, which says everything.
She has done a fantastic job with potty training and teaching important early skills like counting, all in a fun and engaging way. There is always music, dancing, laughter, and lots of learning through play. The children are regularly taken out on lovely trips, including visits to the zoo and the beach, which has been such a wonderful experience for them.
Her discipline methods are excellent — calm, fair, and very effective — and the children are always treated with so much love, care, and respect. It truly feels like a home-from-home environment where the kids feel safe, supported, and have great fun every day.
I feel completely confident leaving my daughter in her care and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, dedicated, and fun childminder 💛
Laura has been looking after our daughter around once a month for the past year, and we feel so lucky to have found her! Our daughter has Down syndrome and is quite particular about who she will form a bond with - and Laura is one of her very favourite people. Each time Laura looks after her they go out and do something fun - they’ve been to soft play, Pensthorpe, the theatre, the beach - and they always come back having had a super day. Laura is warm, affectionate, practical, sensible, fun, thoughtful, super experienced… Honestly we just can’t fault her.

Ailsa babysat our 10-week old baby boy just before Christmas. She was brilliant from the initial meet, answering all our questions and handling him in a calm and caring way. On the day Ailsa sent multiple messages, videos and photos, updating us on how he was doing and reassuring us that all was well. This enabled us to have a great time without worry. We highly recommend Ailsa and will be using her for all future babysitting.
Faiza and her team take such loving and genuine care of our daughter, and it gives us complete peace of mind every single day. The nursery truly feels like a second home for her. when we pick her up, she cries because she wants to stay and keeps asking to go back to nursery. We’re so grateful to have found such a special place for our little one

We agreed to hire Claire as our nanny, she pulled out of the agreement as soon as my wife went in Labour! Which was one day before her start date.
She also kept on saying during the interview, I can do everything, whatever you need tell me, I am flexible etc etc but I had some doubts, but my wife agreed to hire her as it was short notice and we didn’t have much time left.
