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.
Since our little lad has been with Dee hes excelling in his education, learning and communication skills. He comes home and always tells us what a great day he’s had. So glad we moved him from a nursery to dees he’s come on heaps and bounds will forever be grateful to Dee for her kind care and attention to the children.
Angel supported my mum in caring for our two children with additional needs so my husband and I could have an evening out. She kindly came for dinner with us as a family the day before, which helped everyone feel comfortable. Angel was calm, kind, and confident, including providing 1‑to‑1 support at bedtime where needed. The next day both children were well‑rested and settled, and they’ve said they’d be happy for us to go out again if Angel is there. We felt completely comfortable and would highly recommend her.
Arden has been an absolute joy for our family. My son truly loves spending his days with her, especially going out and exploring — he always comes home happy and full of stories. Arden is kind, reliable, and completely trustworthy, which gives me real peace of mind. She is always willing to help, has a positive attitude, and clearly cares deeply about what she does. We feel very lucky to have had her as our nanny and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

She is a mother to all her children and an angel for all the parents. she goes out of the way to help everyone as and when she can. She has been absolutely amazing and god sent for my son. I don’t think I could’ve achieved what I needed if she wasn’t there, very dedicated , very caring child minder and absolutely brilliant person. If I could give 10 stars I would. 100% recommended.
If you are lucky enough to have Neeny caring for your children, you truly have something special. She brings the warmth, love, and magic of a real-life Mary Poppins into your home. She is endlessly kind, patient, and nurturing, while also making every day feel safe, joyful, and full of care. My child adores her, and so do we all. She doesn’t just look after children, she enriches their lives.

From the first moment I met Elena I felt very welcome in her lovely family home and knew she was the child minder for my son. Elena is so warm, friendly, caring and nurturing, she caters to your little one’s needs which is very reassuring when leaving your baby. It was important for me that my baby received good quality loving care when required, a home from home environment, healthy home cooked meals, engaging activities where he can learn and somewhere he is able to socialise and feel safe and have fun. Elena provides all of this and more with a lot of love and attention.
Since we have been going to Elena’s my son is doing very well and gaining more confidence all the time, he enjoys going to her each week and he is learning so much, he also loves her food and has a very good relationship with the rest of her family and the other children. Elena is great at following my son’s usual routine, she will advise me how he gets on through the day and if there are any issues, she is very good at adapting to whatever he needs. I feel confident leaving my son knowing he is very well looked after and appreciate everything she is doing.
Kate and her team are, quite simply, amazing. They provide an exceptional standard of care, combining high-quality provision with a truly nurturing heart.
Returning to work after maternity leave felt like such a daunting hurdle for both me and my son, but the team’s reassuring presence and professional expertise gave me instant peace of mind. My son has been with them for nearly a year now, and it has been a joy to watch him flourish both socially and developmentally.
Why We Love It:
Curious Minds: The team excels at delivering a well-structured educational programme. Their monthly rotation of topics keeps the children engaged, curious, and excited to learn.
Healthy & Happy: The nutritional standard of the home cooked meals is outstanding. It’s so comforting to know my son eats like a King every day - their well being is clearly the top priority.
Trustworthy & Kind: For any parent feeling that natural apprehension about childcare, I cannot recommend Kate and her team highly enough. They provide a trustworthy, enriching, and loving environment.
Choosing Kate was the best decision we could have made; you won't regret it for a second.
Catriona looked after our little boy on Saturday evening whilst we enjoyed a night out. She was great from start to finish, friendly and reassuring so we felt like our son was in good hands and were able to relax. Thank you so much! Will 100% be using her any time we are in Belfast
"We were very nervous about leaving our little son, but [Summayya] made us feel so comfortable. Our son has always absolutely loved going there in the morning and he seems happy reaching there .it’s a massive relief to know she is so well looked after by Summayya.."
My twins were with Tammy from 13 months old when I went back to work.
I was looking for a safe, warm and welcoming home from home environment for them where they would be able to learn through play, develop new skills and be in a calm environment, which we found with Tammy.
An experienced childminder with so many years of experience under her belt and a genuine love for kids. Tammy would get as excited as we would when the twins hit milestone goals and was the perfect transition when I came off mat leave, leaving my babies for the first time.
The kids always came home with fully bellies after some pretty great homemade dinners and made mine and my partners life and transition back to work seamless.
Tammy felt like part of our 'village' and for that we are so grateful.
It's early days, but Miri has been a wonderful sitter for my son so far and we're looking forward to continuing a long-term arrangement with her. My son is 2 years old and due to on-call requirements, I've hired Miri to help out on those occasions with nursery pick-up, travel home, putting my son to bed and staying in my home overnight in case I'm called away to work.
She's kind, respectful, understanding and a pleasure to have in my home. My son took to her immediately and I'd feel comfortable leaving her with him during the night if/when I'm called into work. Miri is easy to communicate with, friendly and has taken easily to a rather unique situation, which has been invaluable.

It has been a pleasure having Rosie support our family. She is always punctual and professional and our little has grown to love her. Thank you Rosie
We absolutely love Mariya. My son knew her from nursery and as soon as I found out she would be working as a childminder, I put his name down. He goes 3 days a week after school and is so happy there. Mariya takes a lot of time preparing themes for each week and ensuring there's appropriate toys and learning materials for all ages. She is kind, caring and her home is lovely. I wouldn't want my son to go anywhere else.
We are very satisfied to have found Sumayya. Our daughter arrives at her place every morning with a smile, which is very reassuring and pleasant. She is surrounded by several other children and is therefore well stimulated. We fully trust Sumayya to provide age-appropriate activities as well as homemade meals.
We are informed every day about our daughter’s general well-being, what she has eaten, and her sleep. We also receive photos. Communication is easy and quick, and we can check in and get updates and details throughout the day. In the evening, we pick up our baby happy after her day and receive a short summary of how the day went. Additionally, Sumayya is also flexible when we have to change days/time and always try to arrange us.
We highly recommend Sumayya to take care of your children with complete confidence.
Kate and her family have been absolutely amazing. They are always kind, flexible and genuinely willing to help whenever needed. We have seen very positive progress in our Childs development during the time she has been cared for by Kate and Flavio, not just in confidence, but in her overall development as well.
I am always completely reassured knowing that they do everything possible to keep the children safe, happy, and well looked after. Their flexibility, care and attention mean I never have to worry, which as a parent is extremely valuable. I highly recommend Kate and Flavio.
My son has been attending Zainab’s Childminding for the past 5 years, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her and her team highly enough.
From day one, Zainab has been incredibly caring, professional, and trustworthy. Leaving your child in someone else’s care is never easy, but I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing my son is safe, happy, and well looked after. The regular photos and updates throughout the day are such a comfort and really show how much thought and care goes into what they do.
My son settled in so well, which is a real credit to the warm, nurturing environment they provide. They have supported his learning beautifully over the years, helping him grow in confidence, independence, and social skills. He has been more than prepared for school, both academically and emotionally, and that means everything as a parent.
Zainab and her team genuinely treat the children like their own. The setting is clean, structured, and stimulating, with plenty of age-appropriate activities, routines, and encouragement for learning through play. Communication has always been excellent, and I’ve always felt listened to and supported.
If you’re looking for a childminder in Bolton who is reliable, loving, and truly invested in children’s development and wellbeing, I highly recommend Zainab’s Childminding. We’ve been so lucky to have found her.
