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 cannot recommend Noreen highly enough. She has been absolutely wonderful with my son. He grew attached to her warm and gentle nature, and every morning he would light up with the biggest smile as soon as she opened the door, excited to start his day. Noreen is incredibly kind, patient, and nurturing, creating a calm and welcoming environment where children feel safe and loved. It’s clear she genuinely cares and takes pride in her role.
On occasions when the setting was closed, Yasmin was able to help me out with childcare, and I am very grateful for the support they have both given me.
I am thankful for the love and care Noreen and Yasmin have shown my son.
From the very first visit, I had that wonderful feeling that Sofia’s setting was the right place for my son. Sofia’s home is a caring, fun, and stimulating environment, full of adventures and learning.
The activities Sofia does with the children are fantastic — trips out, learning how to care for each other, playing and exploring, arts and crafts, and helping Josiah get ready to start school in September. The list is endless! As Josiah has grown, I’ve seen how the activities have changed and developed, especially during the time when the younger children nap. These activities clearly help prepare the older ones for the next chapter of school life.
Josiah has certainly been well prepared for school by Sofia — from being able to put on his shoes and coat and zip them up, to holding a pencil correctly and using scissors — all while still having plenty of time to play and have fun.
Personally, I feel that being in a childminder’s setting, where Josiah has been able to grow and interact with both older and younger children over the past four years, has been invaluable. There has been so much peer learning — caring for younger friends and learning from older ones — something you don’t always get in a nursery setting where children are often separated by age.
Sofia, this is a heartfelt thank you — from the anxious, nervous mum on day one to the now very proud mum of a confident, caring boy who is loving school.
P.S. Josiah misses you lots! ❤️
Bianca’s home is warm, welcoming and fun. You can tell that the children really enjoy spending time there - whether that’s indoor creative play or outdoor adventures.
My 12 month old son had never been in a childcare setting before being looked after by Bianca. From the moment I met her, I was instantly reassured that he would be happy and safe in Bianca’s care. He has really enjoyed his time with her, Poppy her dog and the other children!
My daughter has been going to Charlotte's coming up to a year. She is awaiting an assessment for ASD. I needed someone who was understanding, caring and had a little training & experience with this. My daughter fitted in pretty quick with charlotte & now loves to go to Charlotte's. She even asks to go on the days she doesn't attend.
Charlotte gives them great choices of food and snacks weekly. Keeps them very busy with different things and groups each week. My daughter always comes out happy & smiling. Telling me all about her day.
Nothings too much for charlotte, very understanding & quick to reply and communicate. Dotty was very anxious and shy with others and since attending she's come on leaps and bounds now.
I couldn't ask for a better childminder.
We absolutely love our childminder! Our oldest son used to go to her, and now our second one does too — she’s just amazing. Super reliable, always there when we need extra hours or days, and she takes the kids out all the time — to the zoo, playgroups, parks, you name it. She’s so kind, caring and you can tell that she loves what she’s doing!
We feel really lucky to have her!

My childminder has been amazing with my kids! She takes great care of them while I’m at work and always supports them with their schoolwork. Whenever we need help, she’s always there and willing to go the extra mile. My children love spending time with her, and I’m so grateful for the care, patience, and support she gives. I couldn’t ask for a better childminder!
Emma is an amazing childcare provider for my 7-year-old son with SEN and we are so pleased we found her. She’s warm, patient, and its easy to see how passionate she for the care, happiness and education of the children. Our son comes home excited and happy every day. She expertly adapts every activity to his needs, making sure to keep him engaged without overwhelming him. His empathy and independence has grown so much whilst hes been going to Emma's after school. During school holidays, Emma takes the kids out for fantastic days out, whether it be the Zoo, Park or splashing in the paddling pool, she has everything to keep them entertained all day!
She sends regular photos and updates of what our son has been up to, making sure to send anything, new exciting or interesting he has done.
We are so grateful to Emma for all she does and so happy we found her!
Kaya has babysat our 5-year-old daughter a few times, and we honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better! Our daughter loves going there and always has such a great time. Kaya is super organised, always on time, and keeps in touch really well — communication has been excellent. She keeps our little one busy with fun activities and we always know she’s safe and happy. The extra languages Kaya speaks have also been a lovely bonus!
Highly recommend her to any parents looking for a caring and reliable babysitter.
We have been with Vesna for 6 years, happily sent both girls to her. She treats them like a member of her family.
She is a true professional with a personal approach.
My girls love her and going to her.
Vesna has been our childminder since 2020, since our son started in reception and also for our daughter who is now in Year 2. My son started school just before the Covid pandemic and Vesna was invaluable in continuing to provide wrap around care for him due to our work in the NHS. She has always provided a great, safe and inclusive home from home environment for our children and we feel she has become an extended member of our family due to the relationship we have built with her over the years. She supports and treats our children as if they were one of her own and has been a pillar of support not just with childminding but also in our personal lives. Vesna will always hold a special part in our lives particularly for the care and memories she has created for our children when they have been in her care. We can’t thank you enough for all you have done and continue to do.
My little one came into the world 9 weeks following that I was hospitalised for 1 week with sepsis so we had a rough start! My baby is extremely clingy and I needed some rest bite a day or two a week. Tina completely understood and has been been taking great care of my special little one! I rececive regular updates during his time with her. Although the baby is very clingy with Tina she handles him fantastic! She has great experience with babies and feel assured he is in the best hands on his days with Tina. Would highly recommend.
Stacey has provided both childcare and overnight babysitting services for me with my children one 6,one 13.
Every time they have came back to me happy, well fed and full of stories of the fun adventures they have had.
Stacey manages to cater for both ages at the same time which is something that is very hard for most to do and an issue I have found trying to find childcare in the past
She is caring, understanding and always sends regular updates and is adaptable in unexpected situations. I truly class her as family and wouldn't trust anyone else to go to for my childcare needs.
Highly highly recommend
Antonella , Meriem & Sarah’s have been brilliant with our 4 year old son. He started off full time & now goes after school & he loves it! They are great at communicating and sending updates. They have fun days out and lots of play time outside when the weather is nice. Thanks to you all for taking good care of our son!

Karen is absolutely amazing! She does both school pick-ups and drop-offs for my son, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better childminder. My little one loves going to Karen’s, he’s always excited to play with the other children, and it’s clear how much fun and care she puts into creating a warm, friendly environment.
All the teachers and parents at school know her and only ever have great things to say, which says a lot about how loved and trusted she is in the community. My son has allergies and asthma, and Karen has been incredible with managing his needs so attentive, reassuring, and responsible. I’m beyond grateful to have found her. Truly a five-star childminder!

Vesna is brilliant and as a family we are incredibly lucky to have found her when we did. Our son is now 7 and Vesna provides childcare before and after school however she first took him on at just 8 months old. As a first time mum I was nervous and very anxious about leaving him to return to work, Vesna ensured she kept in touch regularly providing the best home from home environment, along side providing our son with so much love and care. The bond they have is incredible and we would highly recommend Vesna for her kindness, flexibility, communication and understanding. Vesna has been a positive addition to our lives from day one and somewhat like family having been such a big part of our sons life for the last 7 years and we are forever grateful for all that she has done to support us all as a family.
Laura is a fantastic childminder. My daughter thrived when being with her and her family. She felt very at home with them and was made to feel part of the family.
Laura often does days out which I think is a big bonus, u like nurseries she will go to baby/ toddler groups, soft plays, park and the farm. She also plans out weekly themed activities for the children to do which my daughter loved. I cannot recommend her enough
Caroline is a wonderful childminder. She pays lots of attention to each child in her care, encouraging them in their development and making them confident in what they do. Our son become really self-sufficient while in her care and started to do lots of things himself.
She is very approachable and always happy to help out with any questions or concerns parents have.
Definitely 5 stars :)

Dee is absolutely wonderful! My baby boy is always so happy to see her, he runs straight to her with the biggest smile, which says everything. Her home is super clean, tidy, playroom filled with lovely toys and activities that keep the children engaged. Dee is so welcoming, warm, and gentle, and she made my little one feel completely at home from day one. She is incredibly attentive and supportive, always providing updates and plenty of information about how their day has been. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that my baby is safe, happy, and so well cared for with Dee. I couldn’t ask for a better childminder! Thank you so much!
My daughter went to A&M and loved it! She started when she was 2 and as a pandemic baby I was concerned she wouldn't want to go. But from day 1 she went in and didn't look back! She looked forward to going everyday and she was right to because they provided a warm, loving, secure space which was like a home from home!
All the ladies there made sure she had everything she needed and provided her with incredible skills that gave her a head start before starting school. She loved planting strawberries, playing and painting. She refused to leave without giving every auntie a hug at the end of the day! At pick up I looked forward to my little update on her day. Although the photos in her diary online were updated regularly, with all the educational activities and fun trips they got to do, communication was great! A&M is such a wonderful environment I'm so glad I chose this loving caring setting and we still go and visit as she misses all the ladies to this day! I highly recommend A&M they really catered to my daughter's own individual needs and encouraged her to flourish, which she did! I was at ease knowing she was happy there and if I ever had another I'd definitely chose A&M again!
Thank you sooooo much ladies!

My daughter Zuza has been with Tracey since September, and I can say with full confidence that Tracey is simply amazing. We honestly couldn’t imagine anyone better. From the very first day, she has been warm, caring, and full of positive energy. Zuza always goes to her with a big smile, and when she comes back home, she is calm and happy.
Tracey regularly takes Zuza to different playgroups and organises lots of fun activities for her. Her home is beautifully set up for children’s needs, full of toys and creative spaces, and Zuza truly feels at home there.
Tracey also sends us photos and updates about how Zuza’s day has been, so we always know what she’s been doing and how she’s feeling. It’s clear that Tracey puts her whole heart into what she does and truly loves children.
We treat Tracey as part of our family. It’s hard to imagine a better person to look after our daughter.
We feel 100% confident and grateful knowing that Zuza is in such wonderful hands.
