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.
We are so grateful to Miss Priya and the team at Bambini Montessori Luton! Since Ayan started attending, his English has improved so much, and he is always excited and happy to go there every day. He loves taking part in all the different activities, and it’s amazing to see how much he is learning while also having fun.
The environment is always very clean, warm, and friendly, which makes us feel comfortable and confident leaving Ayan there. Miss Priya is caring, supportive, and truly dedicated to the children. We are very happy with everything and would highly recommend Bambini Montessori Luton to any parent looking for a lovely and nurturing place for their child.
Hello 👋🏼 I have been with Kayleigh for about half a year. I was very scared as I’m sure most parents reading the comments are to leave their child with someone new. I couldn’t recommend Kayleigh more. My baby smiled at Kayleigh from the moment she saw her which baby’s have a very strong sense of who is a child kind of person and who isn’t. She settled within the settling sessions and there was no tears when dropping off. Especially at the beginning I was very stressed but Kayleigh made sure to reassure me my child was safe and happy by sending me updates during nap time loads of pictures and what she had done during the day. Kayleigh is very involved you can tell she loves what she does. She is up to date with any policy she is very organised. She is respectful and does her absolute best to work around you and make you feel as comfortable as possible. My child is very happy when I tell her it’s time to see Kayleigh and that is the best reassurance you can ever get.
Hello
I am still using Childminder and my kids enjoyed the time there. One of my 2 sons is still going and he doesn't want any other childminder then her. She is 200% reliable and she goes the extra mile e.g. when I need extra days care with short notice, she made availability to care for kids, very fair price, she provide good advice on care for kids. She did had challenges with my kids at beginning but after couple of weeks and good communication they got to understand each better and its now almost 1 full school year my kids still attending her nursery. The tiney app is great, gives all details on the invoice just exactly how the government request all details to be presented, the app is also great to check on what's been happening at nursery with pictures and summary of activities.

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of having Misha as a nanny for my daughter, and she has been nothing short of exceptional throughout her time with us.
From day one, Misha has shown a genuine warmth, patience, and natural love for children that immediately put both my daughter and myself at ease. She has built a truly beautiful bond with my daughter, engaging her with such care, attentiveness, and enthusiasm that every day felt nurturing, joyful, and full of meaningful interaction. Whether it was reading, creative play, educational activities, or simply encouraging curiosity, she consistently brought energy, thoughtfulness, and heart into everything she did.
Her professionalism and attention to detail are outstanding. The home was always left beautifully tidy and well-organised after her time…toys neatly put away, surfaces cleaned, and my daughter’s spaces consistently well cared for. She is extremely about cleanliness and hygiene, especially during feeding, mealtimes, nappy changes, and daily care, which gave complete peace of mind.
Misha is also excellent with meals and daily routines, always preparing and serving food thoughtfully and ensuring my daughter was happy, nourished, and well looked after throughout the day. She remained calm, flexible, and deeply attentive to her needs, even when routines shifted, always handling everything with quiet confidence and consistency.
One of the things we have appreciated most is her willingness to go above and beyond in every sense. She happily took my daughter on outings and little trips, always ensuring safety and structure while making the experiences fun, enriching, and memorable. These moments truly meant a lot, as it was clear how much joy and confidence she helped bring out in my daughter’s development.
Communication with Misha was always easy, open, and reliable. She kept us informed throughout the day, raised any concerns promptly, and showed great respect for household routines and expectations. She also took feedback gracefully and applied it consistently with professionalism and care.
Overall, Misha has been an incredibly dependable, loving, and dedicated nanny. She brought a real sense of calm, trust, and warmth into our home, and we are deeply grateful for everything she has done for my daughter and our family. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone truly caring, responsible, and exceptional in every way. She will be truly missed :)

My little girl has been going to Tina's for several months now and has settled in so well. She is a very clingy baby and nothing has been too much for Tina, she's always worked at her pace and really helped my little one to come out of her shell.
The home environment is lovely and her family are an absolute credit to her, always so excited to see the little ones and really take the time to interact with them. Communication is always superb.
As an anxious first time mum I was very scared going into this process but honestly I trust Tina with my most prize possession and I couldn't think of anyone better for the job.
Liza was our childminder for our youngest for about a year from about 12 months. Our son adores Liza and settled extremely quickly. Her house is organised meticulously, with everything to keep the children entertained and safe.
Liza really thinks about what will work best when organising the days and adheres perfectly to the given requirements for mealtimes and naps.
She has also looked after our 4-year-old daughter who always enjoyed her time there.
Both our children loved spending time with Liza's own children, with Audrey being a firm favourite of our youngest
We would recommend Liza without hesitation and will be using her services again if the need arises.
We feel fortunate to have Carlene look after our 2 year old daughter. From first contact, Carlene was friendly and accommodating. She has great energy which the children love and their days are planned with adventure. They do a range of trips which were varied, toddler groups and spent time outdoors or at the park. At home, Carlene arranged a variety of activities like arts, crafts and cooking. We have some beautiful keepsakes from things they have made. Carlene supports the children with their independence and age appropriate learning through play. Carlene follows a good structure to the day and offers a variety of food options. The children built lovely relationships together which credits the environment Carlene creates. We really value Carlene and feel very grateful for the lovely experience she provided.
My boy had to leave nursery setting and was completely overwhelmed. I worried he would struggle again having had a bit of a bad time. But Fay gave him a slow settling in period and provided him with support, care and a nurturing environment. The other children are also wonderful which showed how well they loved her and she cared for them. It took less than a week for my boy to be handed over with no tears. Her setting is clean, organised, packed with a variety of toys / learning / craft activities etc. Having visited a few places I knew as soon as I stepped into her house she was the one for us. An extremely caring person who is fantastic with the children and their development and any particular needs they might have. She provides regular updates and is easily contactable. 5+ stars. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Most importantly my boy is happy and thriving.

My Son has been with Kathleen since he was 9 months old, he's now an energetic 3 year old! The whole settling in process was managed very well, Kathleen met with us in advance so we could meet her and we could see her very safe and child friendly home.
While needing to find childcare for work purposes, Kathleen's care has been everything we could have wanted. As a working mum I needed a child care provider who was reliable and nurturing; I can guarantee this is exactly how Kathleen is.
I am absolutely confident that he has the best time at Kathleen's. This is confirmed through his wishes to go to Kathleen's even on some of his days off!
On the occasions I have had difficulty with transition ; Kathleen has always been so patient and welcoming it really helps! She's incredibly flexible and what is lovely is she supports us both and gives lots of reassurance: updates through out the day, pictures and little messages so we both always feel in touch. His enthusiasm to be with Kathleen and his friends at her setting is always confirmed with him running straight in the morning and not wanting to leave at the end of the day!
I love that Kathleen will take the children to a variety of activities including classes, soft play, parks, children's centres, the library and just so much more. She is very in tune with the children's needs and can adjust the schedule to suit the needs of everyone. When home based I know her setting follows the EYFS structure; she has a wide variety of games, arts crafts, toys, activities and a fantastic resourced garden for the children to be engaged and learn.
She offers the children a varied balanced diet with her home made meals and includes lots of fruit and snacks which she tops up all the way until home time! Our son is always leaving with a snack in hand!
I strongly believe the well rounded person my son is becoming is of huge credit to Kathleen. I am confident she helps to instil positive behaviours and handles the children in her care with such a calm and professional manner.
Thank you Kathleen, Elijah is very blessed to have had this time with you in your care.
All I can say is if she has a space available, TAKE IT! :)) I can 100% recommend Kathleen to perspective parents, I couldn’t have done the last couple of years without her.
Ania worked with our family as a childcare
provider for our three-year-old son and proved to be caring, patient, reliable, and highly attentive to our son’s development. She built a wonderful relationship with him and created a safe, positive, and engaging environment every day.
One of her biggest achievements was successfully helping our son with potty training.
Thanks to her consistency, encouragement, and gentle approach, he made excellent
progress and became much more confident and independent.
Ania also spent time supporting his early learning and development. She regularly worked with him on the alphabet, counting, and other age-appropriate educational activities through play and structured learning. We noticed a significant improvement in his communication,
confidence, and enthusiasm for learning during her time with us.
We were very happy with the care and support Ania provided, and we would confidently recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and dedicated childcare professional.
We honestly couldn’t be happier with Kaye. She has been absolutely amazing from day one! kind, patient, reliable, and genuinely caring. Our child was always happy, settled, and excited to go, which says everything. Communication has been excellent and we’ve always felt completely confident that our child is safe, supported, and well cared for. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any parent looking for outstanding childcare.
Abigail has been a God sent, she has helped out so much with my daughters learning and development. My daughter absolutely loves being in her care and looks forward to it everyday and eating all the yummy food she provides. Abigail is flexible and very supportive. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs childcare.

Our children love Steph, and so do we. We feel really lucky to have found her. She has been our childminder since January 2016 and has cared for our two children with additional needs for many years, creating a warm, supportive and family-like environment. Steph is experienced in caring for children with additional needs and takes the time to understand each child as an individual. She adapts her approach to help them thrive socially and emotionally, and her patience and flexibility make a real difference to our family.
Steph creates a lovely balance of learning and fun, with lots of encouragement and engaging activities. The children enjoy things like nature walks, park visits, and soft play, and special occasions such as birthdays and holidays are always celebrated. They especially look forward to her annual Halloween and Christmas parties. She truly treats the children as if they were her own, and it shows in the relationships she builds. Many stay in touch even after leaving her care, and that in itself says everything.
Communication has always been really strong, and she keeps us well informed while also working closely with both parents and schools. As our 8-year-old puts it: “Steph is nice and kind. She makes the best food.”
Our children are happy and excited to be with her. We honestly wouldn’t change a thing, and we would highly recommend Steph to any family looking for a caring and dedicated childminder.
Nicola has been looking after our daughter for over two years and we're devastated to be moving away from the area as hoped she could have our youngest too.
Nicola has been absolutely amazing for our daughter - she takes the children to playgroups, parks, picnics and softplay every day and they have so much enrichment.
We trust Nicola explicitly and she's been brilliant at supporting our daughter with asthma and coughs and the rest of dramas that toddlers bring with them!
She holds boundaries with love and always communicates about her day.
Probably the best way to sum Nicola up is the fact that it often takes me up to 15 minutes to leave her house each day as my daughter never wants to go home!
Thank you Nic Nic!

We have been sending our son to Kerry from 10 months old and it's been such an excellent experience for him and ourselves these past 2 years! The care and attention he has been given throughout has been superb, and we are kept up to date with messages and photos of what they have done that day, including their delicious sounding lunches. Kerry always has thoughtful plans for the day and our son comes home very excited to tell us what they have been doing. Activities include trips into the forest, spending time at a local care home and trips to the libray and local playgroups. On top of these trips out, themed activities at Kerry's house are done and work that is done gets brought home for us to see which is lovely! The setting is lovely and so homely, with Kerry's children also holding a special place in our sons heart alongside the other children he sees daily. It's an excellent location for dropping off and picking up from the Overground train being 5 mins down the road. We couldn't recommend Kerry highly enough and feel very lucky our son has had so many wonderful days and memories in her care.
Danielle has been employed with our family as a nanny since September 2025.
During her time with us Danielle has been an exceptional nanny - warm, reliable and nurturing- who quickly built strong, trusting relationships with our 2 children (aged 4 and 6) and who supported their confidence and development in remarkable ways. Her creativity, organisation, and proactive approach to delivering engaging, age-appropriate activities have made a lasting positive impact on both their learning and enjoyment. I have always felt completely confident leaving them in her care, knowing that I will come home to contented, calm and happy children whose curiosity and imagination have grown and thrived. I have enjoyed seeing all of their creative creations ranging from stories to art to fantastical imaginative play.
She is leaving only due to our change in circumstances, and we wholeheartedly recommend her as a truly outstanding addition to any family. She is going to be so missed by all of us.

Evie is absolutely wonderful, and I cannot recommend her enough!!!!! She is always punctual, reliable, and has such a warm, lovely nature and the moment my baby girl sees her face, she breaks into a huge smile and immediately reaches out to be carried by her.you can truly see how loving and caring she is.
She is excellent at reading my daughter’s cues and needs perfectly, she knows exactly when she is getting sleepy, when her nappy needs changing, when she wants to play, or when she just needs a cuddle. She gives her full attention and makes sure my baby is always happy, safe, and comfortable.
I have used babysitting websites before and tried different carers, but none compare to Evie. There are lots of options out there, but now I know I will never contact anyone else coz Evie is perfect in every way, and she is by far the best person I have ever had look after my child.
Annie
Sarah looked after our children while we went out for the evening, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. It was arranged quite last minute, but she was incredibly accommodating and professional from the start. She was lovely, kind, and immediately put us at ease by asking all the right questions. I am going to book ahead with Sarah for my children to meet her and use her childminding services in future. Thank you Sarah! 🫶
