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.
Our son has been with Lesley since he was 11 months old and has always been very happy in her care. Lesley provides a real home from home experience and genuinely loves and cares for the children she looks after. She takes the children out every day and does lots of activities in the local area. We get regular updates and lots of photos throughout each day. Lesley is very flexible and recently looked after our daughter during school holidays and she also loved being at Lesley’s. We couldn’t have wished for a better childminder for our son.
My daughter is 5 years of age, autistic and pre-verbal with alot of other sensory issues. I have always been her main carer, so my biggest concern was how is she going to adjust with somebody else and how is the babysitter going to understand my daughters needs. I initially booked BH childcare for a family wedding to help me support my daughter on the events at the venue, so I can enjoy little bit myself. I was amazed that BH childcare first of all provided that service, so we booked her straight away, very early in advance. It was very easy and clear communication with BH childcare. She let me explain all of my daughters needs, I sent her my daughters ehcp, paediatrician notes and all the other notes from other professionals. She understood it very well and was very happy to work with my daughter. I requested to have a look at BH childcare's documents for my satisfaction and she did not have any issues at all and gave me that access for my peace of mind.
Now before the events I wanted to see how my daughter will be with BH childcare, so I booked her to spend the day with my daughter. And oh my god I was so satisfied and so much at ease after she spent the day at our house while I was out. I came back home and saw my daughter smiling, because I was so nervous the first time, Bh childcare sent me updates throughout the day while I was out. My sister was present in the house too working from home, just incase there were any issues while I was out, even she mentioned that I could hear my daughter laughing and giggling and singing. When I came back home Bh childcare explained the activities that they did, my daughter was fed, nappy changed, clothes changed. I was so so so happy and satisfied and at peace to find that I will have an amazing time for the initial event bookings.
BH childcare came early on the event dates, which I was very glad because she helped get my daughter ready. While I enjoyed, my daughter also enjoyed her time at the venue, bh childcare helped me take amazing pictures with my daughter, she fed her, made her comfortable, changed her at the end of the event, we had a separate room for her as well. And we made memories and had an amazing time. On the events BH childcare went out of her way to help me on the day as a single parent. So supportive, I cannot thank her enough. I will definitely recommend BH childcare to everyone out there and I am glad I have found BH childcare.
We have been so lucky to have Vesna help us with school drop offs and pick ups for the last 4 years. Vesna is wonderful, caring, trustworthy and funny! She always has the children’s best interest at heart and genuinely loves what she does. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough!! Cxx
Karla spend a few hours with our two primary-school age sons this weekend and they are asking when she's coming next. She's very responsive in communications with us, and has lots of positive energy for the time child-led games. Whether it's lego, basketball, chess, or setting up a home disco – she's taking it in her stride.
Agreed and booked in advance but was a no show on the day. Gave address in advance but received no advance warning to say they were not coming. No communication on the day even after messaging this babysitter.
Might be a great babysitter but did not get a chance to experience.
Not 100% reliable. I almost missed out on my friends wedding day.
We needed support for my 1.5 year old daughter to enable working commitments. Kavita was able to provide the flexibility we were looking for. To have a place where your child is happy is rare and I had the confidence when leaving her at Happy house childminder for she was happily looking forward to going in. I know each child is different but for my child not to cry when I left her was so relieving and I was able to focus on my work as I was confident she was in safe hands. My daughter learnt so much from speech, nursery rhymes, numbers, letters and by the time she left in September 2025 to join reception she could write her name. The experience she had helped with easy transition to reception. Thank you team Happy house childminder you are simply the best. Blessings keep doing what you are doing.
Maria has been an absolute star for our family. She has cared for my two autistic children on numerous occasions — from short jobs and longer daytime shifts to overnight stays — and she’s been wonderful every single time. She’s always on time, completely dependable, and someone I trust without hesitation.
What I appreciate most is how kind, patient, and understanding she is. She really takes the time to get to know each of my children, learning what makes them feel comfortable and supported. Her calm and gentle approach has made such a positive difference, and my kids absolutely love spending time with her — they’re always excited when she comes over!
She’s great at keeping routines, managing bedtime smoothly, and keeping the children happily engaged throughout the day. I’ve never had a single problem or worry while she’s been looking after them. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such genuine care and warmth.
I couldn’t recommend Maria highly enough — any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
Yash has been very helpful during my Holidays in Scotland. She looked after my 8 years old daughter in a hotel setting. She is sharp on time and readily available even on last time bookings. She was very flexible with time if I came after the agreed time due to unplanned circumstances. Yash offers her services after hours as well which is great. So I would definitely contact her again when I come over to Glasgow next time. ☺️
This is the second time I have used Mandy and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. After my first sons’ experience with her, it was a no brainier to use Mandy again. Both my children were so happy there and both left with a nice scrapbook of their time there too. If you’re looking for a completely reliable, caring childminder then Mandy is the one you want.
Damaris was so thoughtful and gentle looking after our baby boy, 100% of the time. Even before arriving she was careful that the baby could be sleeping and wanted to arrive as silently as possible. We can tell from that she greatly enjoys babysitting and does it with lots of love.

My little boy has been going to sumera since he was just over 9 months old he is nearly 2 now and we have been absolutely blessed to have found her! Sumera looks after toby like i imagine she would her own child, he absolutely loves her. He has gone through many milestones with the support or sumera. He also sleeps there which is amazing as I often hear of little ones too excited at child minders to sleep but she makes him comfortable and ready to sleep. Now hes at the stage of refusing some naps but he still has a rest. I trust sumera implicitly with toby, she know what he likes and how, and will always do her best whilst letting me know of anything needed. Couldn't ask for more.

My daughter started going to Vesna when she was just two years old, and we truly couldn’t have asked for more. From the very beginning, Vesna welcomed her like family — nurturing her with kindness, warmth, and a sense of adventure. She loved going every day, exploring new places, and making friends along the way.
During school holidays, my older daughter would also spend time with Vesna, and she loved it just as much. Now, at 9 and 11, both of my girls still look forward to seeing Vesna during the holidays — a testament to the lasting bond they’ve built.
Vesna is incredibly kind, caring, and principled in her work. Her dedication, consistency, and genuine love for children have made her an irreplaceable part of our lives. I honestly don’t know what we would do without her.
As I start writing this review, my heart warms and I start to smile when I think about the wonderful care and love Ama showed our baby daughter.
We had to go back to work quite quickly and we were worried about leaving our Daughter so young with someone else but Ama showed her so much care and welcomed her into her home and family.
She put our minds at peace, sent regular updates and pictures for us to see and our daughter clearly loved being there - she was excited to see Ama and her family every day, was always smiling and extremely happy.
She has a great setup, a lovely home and an environment in which our little daughter could grow and thrive. We were gutted not to be able to use her for longer as we've moved away from the area for a while. However, we wouldn't hesitate in sending her back again.
Ama is amazing, thank you so much Ama! x

Vesna has been the sole after-school childminder for my son for 4 years; I trust her with his care implicitly. Utterly professional, I have no hesitation in providing the highest recommendation.
She provides a wonderful and inclusive environment, both in terms of physical facilities and as a positive role model, that allows children to flourish and feel safe.
She is no pushover... Those in her care are around someone who is to be listened to, especially regarding safety, both physically and emotionally and she will not accept anything that risks that. She will challenge any detrimental behaviour and do it in a way that is caring and not overbearing. There is no room for bullying, uncaring words or unkind actions in her care.
Possessing a strong and principled work ethic, she is utterly reliable, flexible, discreet and resilient.
On the few occasions where she has had to discuss an issue regarding my son, it has been done sensitively and with kindness.
I would commend Vesna without any reservation.
My son started with this wonderful team originally with Aunty Ali, Anj Anj and then Aunty Mich and Miss Amber when he was just 10 months old my youngest and the first of my children to attend childcare before their first birthday. After COVID, the nerves were real, but from the moment we stepped into their care, I knew we’d found something special.
Fast forward to now: he’s currently halfway through his first term in Reception, and he still talks about them every single day. In those first few weeks, he would wake up asking to go back that’s how deeply he was loved, and how securely he was held. These ladies have left an imprint that will stay with him for life, and I’ll make sure he never forgets them.
They’ve been the foundation of his early learning and emotional development nurturing him with patience, joy, and genuine love. Even on the challenging days, they met him with calm, compassion, and understanding. They didn’t just care for him as he was, they championed who he was becoming.
These ladies are more than childminders they are a village. There’s an old proverb that says, “I am because we are.” This setting is the perfect example of that truth. They are gold dust in CR7 truly raising children with invisible crowns, teaching them to walk with confidence, kindness, and a strong sense of self.
If my ovaries were still making demands (thankfully they’re not!), I’d bring every one of my children here without hesitation. Because this isn’t just childcare, it’s a calling, and the fruit of their labour will speak for generations.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Keisha, a forever-thankful mum ❤️
Bethany was absolutely brilliant with our little one. She jumped straight into board games, kept him happily entertained, and somehow managed the impossible task of convincing a 5-year-old to switch off the TV and head to bed without any drama. She even helped him brush his teeth and settle down for the night like it was the easiest thing in the world.
A calm, kind, and genuinely lovely presence. We felt completely at ease leaving him with her, and we’d recommend Bethany to any parent looking for a babysitter you can trust.
We were with Amy for about 2.5 months after which she gave us a notice to leave. Sadly our experience wasn’t what we had hoped for and we found it really stressful. Initially it started very positively, however towards the end my daughter was teething a lot (4 molars coming through), which is of course a challenging stage, but we felt there was little understanding or support from Amy. Amy would send numerous stressful texts every week and we were asked to collect my daughter early on several occasions and it was even seen as an issue when my daughter wanted a bit of comfort and to be held.
Although Amy presented herself as experienced childminder, we were surprised by how unsupportive the approach felt and the luck of her knowledge (expecting 1 year old to feed themselves, and to sleep for 2h straight).
We ended up finding a lovely nursery and the experience couldn’t be more different. Overall we definitely wouldn’t recommend Amy.
