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.
We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder, from day one, it was clear, she is the most caring and loving childminder you could ever ask for. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for the children shine through in everything she does. She creates a safe, happy, and nurturing environment where children truly thrive.
My children feel completely safe, valued, and loved in her care, and that peace of mind is priceless.The bond she builds with the children is beautiful to see, and it’s clear they absolutely adore her,
Trusting someone with your child is one of the hardest things a parent can do, and she makes that trust feel effortless. We are incredibly grateful for her and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for not just a childminder, but someone who truly cares.
Svetlana was my son’s first childminder. He was only 2.5 years old and had never stayed with anyone other than us, his parents. The transition was not easy for either us or our son, but we were incredibly lucky to find Sveta. From the very beginning, she made everything feel safe, calm, and easy.
Sveta is one of the kindest people I have ever met. She is patient, calm, and extremely professional. The environment she creates is exactly what every parent hopes for -warm, nurturing, fun, and at the same time focused on children’s development and growth.
My son truly blossomed under her care. He became more confident, came out of his shell, and was always happy and excited to be with her. Even now, while he is in Reception, he still asks about Sveta and wants to visit her. Whenever possible, especially during half-term holidays, we still use Sveta’s childminding services, which says everything about the trust and love we have for her.
I cannot recommend Sveta highly enough.
Jenny and Sean have been absolutely wonderful with our daughter, who has been with them since she was 9 months old. They are incredibly trustworthy, professional, warm and welcoming, and we can see how much care and attention they put together to every day. Our daughter loves going there and has truly thrived - she’s made lovely friends and is always learning something new. We feel so lucky to have found them and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family.

We needed help with childcare after preschool and in the holidays. Kat was recommended by a friend who spoke very highly of her. When I contacted kat she was very responsive and helpful. We arranged for me and my son to visit and agreed set days with Kat very quickly. Kat was so thoughtful while our little boy settled into the new routine and has been brilliant ever since, couldn't recommend her highly enough. Our little boy loves going to her house and looks forward to the "kat kat" days and we have been so delighted to find someone to help us with childcare who is so caring and has created a home from home environment for the children she minds 😊
Twinkle twinkle has been an amazing setting for my little boy. He adores fola and their relationship has blossomed. She always keeps me informed in what he does what he eats where he’s been that day with pictures and a diary she fills out. She’s very kind attentive caring and nothing is too much for fola. She’s not only looked after my little boy she looks after my little girl and my little girl loves her she’s always asking every morning am I going fola mum and if it’s a day she’s not I find she gets upset. Fola does school drops of for me she even helped me out a few months back when I was in a difficult position with work and done 6am pick ups for me. Shes been nothing but kind to me and my family. My kids did have a tough time with a previous setting so it was important I found a new setting that I was confident in and with fola my confidence has grown that people do care. Her pricing is very fair for the amazing quality of childcare she gives. She picks up on the important things with development in my son and she’s supporting at the moment with his speech which has been a massive helping especially as I’m quite an anxious mum so having the support from fola has really helped. The setting is always clean and tidy, appropriate safety is in place for the children , when I walk in I always smell the delicious food cooking , she takes my son to soft plays , trampoline parks , shopping , toddler classes and meets up with other childminders in the area. She also has an after school club and when I pick up my son they are all playing together smiling happy laughing and as a mum that’s all you want. The children are very well behaved kind they have wonderful manners and they love my little boy! Thank you fola for an amazing service you provide :)
We are so lucky we met Karen! Our little boy has been with Karen for a year and a half now. He absolutely loves his time there and is absolutely thriving beyond his age. I completely trust Karen and love the pictures and updates she sends during the day so I know what fun my son is having whilst I am at work! I would not hesitate to recommend Karen, so much so, son no.2 will be joining her later this year!
Julia has looked after our little boy for 18months so far. He absolutely loves going to Julia’s home and is treated like part of the family. Julia is warm and welcoming. Our son began his settling in sessions when he was just 7 months old and we have always been reassured by Julia’s regular updates and photos. It is abundantly clear that he is under her close supervision throughout the day. We have total confidence that he is safe, happy and extremely well cared for when he is in Julia’s care.
Julia provides a safe yet exciting environment and encourages his curiosity with all sorts of fun and creative activities both within her home and on regular excursions. She is flexible and accommodates changes in his routine as he grows and develops.
We couldn’t have hoped for anything more and feel very fortunate to have found Julia at Hope Childcare.
Tina has been so much more than a childminder to Aria, she has been a huge and very special part of her early years. From the very beginning, it was clear how deeply Tina cared, not just for Aria’s safety and routine, but for her happiness, confidence and emotional wellbeing too.
Aria was loved, nurtured and understood every single day in Tina’s care. She was treated with such patience, warmth and genuine affection, and it showed in everything, from how excited Aria was to see Tina, to how settled and content she always was when she came home. Tina created a calm, loving environment where Aria felt completely secure, free to be herself and encouraged to grow.
The bond between them is truly beautiful. Aria absolutely adores Tina, and that kind of love can’t be taught or forced, it comes from trust, kindness and consistency. Knowing how safe, happy and cherished Aria was made all the difference to us as parents, and we will always be incredibly grateful for that peace of mind.
Tina will forever hold a very special place in our hearts and in Aria’s childhood. We couldn’t have asked for anyone more loving, caring or dedicated, and we feel so lucky to have had her as part of our family’s journey.
My 3 year old daughter has been going to Kathryn for just over a year now and we could not be happier with her childminding.
Our little girl is always happy to go to Kathryn’s house and enjoys a range of fabulous activities whilst under her care from baking & crafts, to explorative play & fun learning.
Kathryn has the most welcoming home. Her two daughters, husband and dog Mylo have welcomed our little girl into their home and she has become part of their family, which is all I could ask for whilst I’m at work.
Kathryn’s caring nature has been consistent throughout - my little girl has diagnosed epilepsy and Kathryn was meticulous in working on her care plan, making sure she knows what to do in the event of an emergency, putting all of our minds at rest which has been invaluable.
We wouldn’t be without Kathryn and my little girl is truly happy every day after coming home from a fun day at Kat-Kats :)
Becky is a fantastic childminder. Not only is she professional and easy to deal with, but she’s so creative and makes every day an adventure for our daughter. Whether it’s arts and crafts or trips out and about, it has all helped our child grow and become so much more confident. Becky’s knowledge and experience are so valuable and she’s always happy to explain things to us as first-time parents. The setting she has created is perfect for young children with so much to do. She provides healthy and nutritional meals and is excellent at keeping us updated on our daughter throughout the day with pictures and messages. We would happily recommend Becky to anyone looking for a childminder in the West Bristol area. Our daughter loves her Becky days.
Kathryn has looked after my sons after school and during the holidays for the last three years. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder! From the very beginning she made us feel completely at ease, and my boys absolutely adore her. She has such a warm, fun, and caring nature, and her home feels like a second family home to them.
Kathryn has always been incredibly dependable, organised, and supportive, and we’ve trusted her completely with our boys. She was also incredibly flexible which I will always be grateful for. Anyone who knows Kathryn (parents and children alike!) will tell you the same. She’s one of those people you instantly feel comfortable with and always has a smile on her face.
Kathryn and her family are so welcoming and friendly, and the children are always happy, busy, and smiling when they’re with her. There’s always laughter, kindness, and genuine care, and it’s clear how much love she puts into everything she does.
We feel so lucky to have had Kathryn look after our boys and will always be grateful for the care, fun, and stability she’s given our family. Any child would be very lucky to spend their days/evenings with her, we can’t recommend her highly enough.

Kathryn has been looking after our daughter since she was 9 months old and we couldn't be happier with our decision. After visiting multiple nurseries and different childminders, as soon as I met Kathryn I knew she was the one! I know when I leave in the morning that my daughter will have the best day and will be well looked after. Even better, Kathryn's whole family are lovely!
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. She has looked after both of our girls and has been so kind, caring and incredibly patient with them. It’s clear Annie genuinely cares about the children and treats them like her own.
The girls always have fun days out as well as lots of learning through play. We’ve felt completely confident knowing they are safe, happy and so well cared for.
As parents, it’s been such a relief knowing they are with someone we can completely trust. Annie has created a loving, supportive environment where the children thrive, and we are extremely grateful for everything she has done for our family. We would recommend her to any parent without hesitation.
We found Salma on this website when we went to Bradford for the weekend. We were doing wedding shopping which would've been very difficult with 4 kids between us. We were a bit apprehensive as we'd never done this before but Salma was so lovely. The kids absolutely adored her and were so relaxed with her. She went out her way to make sure they had homemade food and lots of fun activities so they were occupied for the 2 days. I would definitely recommend Salma and if we ever find ourselves in Bradford again, she will be our go to!

Kathryn looked after two of my children, and we couldn’t have been happier with her as our childminder. Kathryn provides a warm, home-from-home environment that helped our children feel settled, secure and comfortable. Her home is a lovely place for children to spend their day. She offered a wide range of engaging activities for both children, with play and learning opportunities suitable for all ages. Kathryn provided nutritious, well-prepared food and was brilliant at encouraging both of our children to try and eat new things. We were genuinely sad when our children transitioned to pre-school. The comfort and family environment was much loved by both children and really put us at ease, as they spent long days with Kathryn. I would highly recommend Kathryn to any family looking for a loving and reliable childminder.
Kathryn has cared for both our son and daughter from the age of 1 and I couldn’t recommend her more. She is kind, caring, welcoming, attentive and so brilliant with kids - our children both adore her (infact they still ask now if they can go to hers even though they have moved on to nursery!). She provides a wide range of activities, has a lovely setting & always gives home cooked meals too. The rest of her family are lovely and so great with the kids too. Both our children thrived in her care - thank you Kathryn x
