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 feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder for our son Xaiden .He started going to her when he was just 6 months old, when I returned to work, and she has been such an important part of his early years.
From day one, she has cared for him with so much love, patience and kindness. Knowing that he was happy, safe and well looked after gave us such peace of mind while we were at work. Over the years, she has watched him grow from a tiny baby into the happy, confident little boy he is today.
She has supported his development, encouraged him to learn and explore, and always made him feel loved and cared for. We have always felt that he was treated as part of her family, and that means so much to us.
It is hard to believe that he will soon be starting school. We are going to miss her very much, and so will he! We are truly grateful for everything she has done for our son and for our family over the years.
Thank you for all the love, care, support and wonderful memories. We couldn’t have wished for a better person to look after our little boy. We will always be grateful and will remember this special chapter with so much happiness. ❤️
Bridie looked after our child one day a week over holidays. We found her to be very professional, organised, always on time, easy to communicate with and responsible. We also found Bridie to be caring, responsive, flexible and adaptive to our child's needs and brilliant at offering creative play in her home and out and about. Thank you so much!

Our little boy loved spending time with Arden and we were really grateful for the effort she put into figuring out what works for him, following his interests and planning lovely days for him. During his time with Arden our son grew in confidence and learned to feel safe and secure in the care of someone other than his parents, which was a big deal for him!
My daughter loved her time at Sapphire’s! She was picked from school by Sapphire and enjoyed the home from home setting. She did lots of craft activities, trampolining and games. I asked her what her favourite thing was about going to Sapphire’s and she said “everything”! Sapphire is friendly, caring and professional. I highly recommend her.
Madiha looked after our daughter so well and her genuine affection for our baby established a warm environment during care hours. She encouraged age appropriate activities and interactive play that helped our daughter to achieve her milestones, brought her nice gifts. She was very kind, patient and loving towards our little one.
We couldn’t have asked for a better nanny for our daughter.
She is very professional and also an
absolutely amazing person.
Anthonia’s service was extremely valuable to us as a working family needing reliable help with our children.
From the beginning, she was reliable, punctual and professional. She was never late when collecting the children, which gave us great peace of mind when organising our work and family commitments.
One thing we particularly appreciated was the communication. Anthonia regularly kept us updated and sent us lots of photos and videos of the children, so we always knew they were safe and well looked after.
We have been really pleased with the overall service she provided and with the care and reliability she showed towards our children.
The only downside for us was that we weren't able to use the government Tax-Free Childcare scheme with her, where eligible families can receive a government top-up towards their childcare costs. This would have made the arrangement even more financially convenient for us as a working family. However, this doesn't take anything away from the quality of care and service Anthonia provided.
Overall, we had a very positive experience and would happily recommend Anthonia to other families looking for someone reliable, caring and trustworthy to help with their children. Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sofan provided excellent care for our 1 year old this summer. He settled in quickly and was excited to attend each morning. Sofan provided a range of creative activities tailored to his abilities each day and took him on lots of fun outings. She was also careful and flexible to meet his schedule and feeding needs. We really appreciated her energy and welcoming spirit. We look forward to continuing to attend her setting on an ad hoc basis.

I could sit here and write about how brilliant Becca has been at supporting my daughter's learning and development – helping with letters, numbers, confidence and preparing her for school. And she absolutely has. But in many ways, that feels like what you would naturally hope for from an excellent childminder.
What I will never truly be able to find the words for is the impact Becca has had on my daughter as a person. She started with Becca in September 2022 at just 9 months old, initially for two days a week. We were so impressed by the care, attention and genuine love she received that we jumped at the opportunity for a full-time place.
Since then, Becca has become one of the most important and consistent people in her life. In 2024, our plan had been for her to move on to preschool to experience a larger group setting. However, following the separation of her father and me, we made the decision to postpone that move for a year. During what was undoubtedly a difficult and unsettling time for her, Becca became her rock.
Becca provided stability, comfort and reassurance when she needed it most. She supported her through big emotions and still does to this day navigating a new way of life with co-parents. She encouraged her to talk about her feelings, and helped her understand and empathise with the feelings of others too. The care she provides goes far beyond supervision or education; she genuinely nurtures the children in her care and helps them grow emotionally as well as academically.
What has always stood out to me is how much Becca tailors experiences around the individual child. She goes above and beyond to create opportunities that bring out the very best in them. A perfect example was only last week when my daughter was the only child attending, and rather than simply staying home, Becca took her to Chessington World of Adventures for a special day out. She didn't have to do that, and it would undoubtedly have been easier not to, but that's exactly the kind of person she is. She constantly looks for ways to create magical memories and meaningful experiences for the children she cares for.
The relationship my daughter has built with Becca is incredibly special. It is built on trust, love, respect and security. As a parent, there is no greater reassurance than knowing your child is happy, safe and genuinely loved when they're not with you. Becca has given us that every single day.
I have no doubt that Becca has helped shape the confident, caring and resilient little girl my daughter is becoming, and I will always be grateful for the role she has played in our lives. I truly hope their relationship lasts for many years to come - she is the kind of person you can imagine still being there for life's biggest milestones.
And on a lighter note, if she could ever share the secret of how she gets her to do exactly as she's told and eat every vegetable put in front of her without complaint, I would be forever grateful!
Noreen looked after my 1 year old for my brothers wedding today and she done such a brilliant job! My son loved her and she helped take a huge weight off my shoulders I don’t know what I would have done without her! She is an absolute gem and I would defo recommend her for anyone looking for a baby sitter or nanny! My son also loved her and was soo comfortable with her! If I ever need a nanny again Noreen would be the only person I’d trust with my son. ❤️

Little Steps Childcare looked after my baby across my wedding event dates and I am beyond satisfied — truly so happy with everything! The level of professionalism is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. The way they handled my baby, managed every situation, and cared for him with such kindness and confidence was absolutely amazing. I felt completely at ease the whole time knowing he was in the best hands. If you need childcare for any event — these are the people to book! 10/10, thank you so much xx
Zoe looked after our three girls with the youngest a baby. She looked after all three girls at very different stages (baby, school) and became part of the family. Her superpower is being calm and empathetic while very organised and keeping the girls in their routines. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone - she gets booked up fast!

Ella has provided childcare for my two young sons aged 3.5 years old and 11 months old across the summer period, both daytimes and bedtimes, at home and with short fun trips out. She is exceptionally warm, calm, kind and playful - and has supported my eldest son with his conversational skills and his learning through play. She is punctual, very trustworthy and fits effortlessly into our family rhythms. We are very lucky to have found her - highly recommend!

A real review from a real mother who owes so much to Cleo. We met by chance she reached out to actually help guide my search for a nanny, and due to her kindness I felt comfortable enough to visit with my child. Her warmth, professionalism, kindness and way of respecting my parenting approach whilst offering recommendations. My child always so happy when I picked them up which is a reassuring sign. He would cling on to her and was settled in within a few days. She looked after him for only 4 weeks when I needed her most. Called the ambulance when she was worried followed up with recommended guidelines. What can I say. She is just the best. I’m so greatful.
Sam was wonderful with my girls, they loved when she came over. She played with them, made sur they ate their food and got them to bed at a good time. We only don't use her services as we moved away from the area, I wish we had someone as good as her when we are now.
