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.
Sue and her team have been an absolute god send for me and my family. Hands on, helpful, caring, informative. It was the best decision I ever made after moving to the area. I dont have enough praise for them and all the support they have given us.
Thank you all so much for everything!
Amrit is so caring, warm and patient, she creates a welcoming environment for kids. She looked after my son and l cannot believe how much my son enjoyed his time with Amrit. Amrit keeps you updated on your childs day with photos, which l found reassuring. There is a wide variety of activities to keep kids entertained. Overally l would definately recommend Amrit if you are looking for a safe and caring environment for your child.
Carly responded to my add for 1:1 support for my 15 year old son, to help support with travelling and being out and about.
Carly was fantastic from the off, she came out and introduced herself to the whole family, very open and honest and enthusiastic. I felt very reassured and confident in her abilities.
My son and Carly have navigated different towns and cities, bus journeys, getting around.
My son’s confidence has grown and he’s happy to deal with bus journeys and pay for things in shops. His confidence has grown so much and he’s happy to navigate the new life skills he’s developed since going out with Carly.
Carly is wonderful, she gets his sense of humour and he comes home happy and laughing every time which is wonderful for us to see.
Really pleased that Carly reached out and was happy to take on his social development. Honestly so thankful that Carly is a part of his world.
Cannot sing your praises enough, thank you from us all. You make more of a difference than you realise xxx
Larissa is a caring and dependable babysitter who our little one absolutely loves. She’s warm, patient, and always engaged, with a lovely non-screen approach that we really appreciate.
We mainly book her for date nights and social commitments, and she’s always punctual and trustworthy. It’s a real comfort knowing our little one is happy with her.
Our daughter has been with Caroline for 3 years and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better start for her. She has grown into such a happy, confident little girl and we really do put a lot of that down to Caroline.
Her setting is a genuine home from home and what really stands out is how much time the children spend out and about. They are always exploring, going on little adventures and experiencing new things, which feels very different (and better suited to our daughter) than a typical nursery setting.
Caroline provides a great variety of activities and it’s clear how much thought goes into helping the children learn through play. All the children in her care seem so happy and confident, which says everything.
She is incredibly caring, reliable and makes everything very easy for us as parents. Communication is excellent and we love receiving the regular photos and updates of what our daughter has been up to.
We are genuinely going to be really sad when our daughter leaves to start school, and we can’t recommend Caroline highly enough.
My daughter has been with Fabiana for nearly 1 year. She has been an absolute blessing for our family. Fabiana is genuinely caring, completely trustworthy and creates such a safe and loving environment. Every day our daughter comes home excited to share what they’ve learned — from new words to creative activities, she cannot wait to go back the next day. Her honesty and professionalism give us total peace of mind. We couldn’t ask for anyone better.
I cannot recommend Emma highly enough as a childminder. She cared for my daughter for two years, and throughout that time she consistently exceeded all of my expectations.
From the very beginning, it was clear how kind, patient, and nurturing she is. She created a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where my daughter was always happy and settled. Her support with my child’s development across all areas was outstanding. I saw real progress in her confidence, communication, independence, and social skills, all thanks to the care and attention Emma provided.
I received very detailed daily updates, along with photos, which gave me great peace of mind and made me feel fully involved in my daughter’s day. It was obvious how much thought and effort she put into planning engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that changed daily.
Most importantly, my daughter absolutely adored her. She formed a strong bond with Emma, and it meant everything to know that my child was not just being looked after but genuinely cared for and supported. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have their child in her care. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and highly skilled childminder.
Anees is a fantastic childminder, who has created a kind and loving environment, with home cooked meals and a beautiful garden. She looked after our daughter after my wife returned to work and she had such a lovely experience with Anees. Now that she is at school she still loves to go back during the school holidays. Our son is currently with Anees and has settled really well. We moved area in 2023 and still drive back every morning because we couldn't imagine him going anywhere else.
Kyra contacted me through a job ad I put on childcare.co.uk last week for a last minute ad hoc cover due to school inset day on Monday 20th of April. We didnt formerly meet up til the morning of when Kyra was going to be looking after my 2 daughters, but we had a phone call to put my mind at ease. She was an absolute hit with my 2 daughters (age 10 and 8). She is good fun, engaging with the children and keeps them happy. I dont need regular childcare but i hope to use Kyra's services soon

Our daughter has been looked after 3 days a week by Charlotte for almost a year now and she absolutely loves her time in Charlotte’s warm, caring and nurturing home. I’ve felt reassured dropping her off as she is so excited to go and doesn’t look back, and is always beaming and giggling when I pick her up. My daughter loves her dog Frankie and cat Kitty and all the wonderful themes and activities Charlotte sets up for them. She has also learnt so much and I love how much outdoor time they have, with regular updates on the app and wonderful crafts that we take home. Charlotte has a soft and incredibly kind approach to caring for the children, and I’m so glad that we found Charlotte’s Childminding. We really feel like Charlotte provides a home from home for our daughter and we couldn’t recommend her more!
Martina is genuinely the most amazing nanny you could hope to find. She is extremely loving and caring. And she brings infectious amounts of fun and energy, whilst also being responsible and conscientious in her childcare.
She was our children’s nanny for 6 years from babies onwards. We felt like we’d won the lottery! Our kids adored her, (and still do - and they are now teenagers) and felt deeply loved, secure and safe with her.
At the childrens’s school she was known by everyone as Mary Poppins. The teachers always remarked on what a wonderful and engaged nanny she was. Our children’s friends loved her, and she was very well respected by the parents.
She is truly world class.
As a very anxious first time mother I was naturally very distressed about what I would do when I returned to work. Rahma from the first instance was communicative and amenable to different options and approaches - she allowed me a viewing on the weekend and instantly I could see how wonderful the setting was. My son started at 9.5 months old with Rahma and he truly blossomed in her care. She is attentive, caring and I honestly do not know how I would have managed to return to work without her. She constantly updated us on how Sulaiman was managing, encouraged his development and was always kind enough to provide insight into how I could support him at home. My son would jump out of bed when I asked him in the mornings if he wanted to go to 'school'. Could not recommend Rahma more.
We have been with Hanane since our eldest was 2 until she started school, and we loved her care so much that we brought our second child to her at 11 months. She takes the children to local parks and playgroups and they always have a wonderful time.
Our youngest has been with her for three months and is already blossoming, her confidence and development have come on brilliantly. The children are truly loved and cared for like their own, the food always smells amazing on pick-up, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

My son attended Gloria’s setting from August 2022 to December 2023, and the only reason we left was due to moving house. If we had stayed closer, he would have remained with her until starting school.
Gloria consistently showed us kindness, care, and respect, and made us feel like part of her family from the very beginning. Most importantly, my son truly thrived in her setting, which gave us great reassurance as parents.
We never experienced any issues with the care she provided. Gloria is also incredibly flexible and works with families to accommodate their needs, which made a big difference for us.
She has been wonderful, and I have happily recommended her to friends in the area looking for childcare.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Vanna enough 🤍
Leaving your baby with someone from such a young age is one of the hardest things as a parent. My daughter started with Vanna at just 9 months old, and as you can imagine I was so nervous; they’re so little at that age and need constant care, attention, and love.
Vanna came highly recommended to me, and I was told I’d love her within seconds… and that couldn’t have been more true.
She is genuinely one of the kindest, calmest, most nurturing people I’ve ever met. The way she speaks to the children is so soft and reassuring, and you can just feel how safe and cared for they are in her presence.
My daughter absolutely adores her. There was even a moment where I knocked on the door and she wanted to go straight to Vanna instead of me(!), and as a mum that says everything. That level of trust and comfort doesn’t happen unless someone is truly incredible.
They’re always out doing lovely activities and going to different places, and I get updates throughout the day which gives me so much reassurance. Vanna never minds messages, is always responsive and just takes everything in her stride, no matter how chaotic life with little ones can be!
I am very particular about who looks after my children (I wouldn’t even leave them with some friends!), so the fact that my daughter goes to Vanna four days a week and has done since she was so young says it all.
She is reliable, caring, patient, and honestly an absolute angel for what she does.
If you’re looking for someone to trust with your child, Vanna is that person. I recommend her all day, every day 🤍
Anthonia is a very reliable childcare provider. She attended to my two children during the two week half term. They were very excited to have Anthonia around, she took them out and prepared their lunch. She always on time. I will highly recommend anyone looking for a reliable childcare provider to reach out to Gentlestars 😊

Amanda has worked for our family for 4 years, she helped our son develop into a wonderful boy from nursery all the way to Year 3. She deveoped a great relationship with our son where he felt, secure, safe and supported. She is very sociable and had wonderful conversations with our son which helped his vocabulary and social skills.
Amanda made sure she developed a genuine connection with our son, birthday and occasion were remembered and used a way of creating cards, she would even remember to bring small gifts back for our son which was wonderful and so generous.
She is kind, patient, and attentive, was always ensuring our son’s wellbeing and
happiness were her top priority. Whether helping with routines, engaging him in activities, or simply providing a caring presence, she consistently went above and
beyond.
We feel extremely fortunate to have had Amanda with us and cannot recommend
her highly enough to any future family. She would be a wonderful addition to any
household. We will carry maintaining a relationship with Amanda for babysitting on the weekend.
