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 booked Chloe at short notice. She was so responsive in her messages arranging details, offered references when requested and our son took to her immediately on meeting her, he absolutely loved her. Chloe sent me updates through the evening and was an absolute pleasure.

Lou was absolutely brilliant with my boys, one of whom was only 10 months. She kindly looked after them while we were at a wedding, played, fed, bathed and put them to bed. The boys had a great time and loved her. Communication was great from beginning to end and helped having a call before as we were not local. I would highly recommend Lou - very diligent, friendly and reliable.
Jainaba is a wonderful childminder and my daughter loves her. They have a lot of fun with planned activities at home and on trips to the park and children's groups etc. Jainaba is calm, kind and patient, and the atmosphere she creates is nurturing and supportive. My daughter also loves her cooking and can't wait to tell us what she has eaten that day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other families looking for consistent and reliable care for their children.
Funville Childminder is an excellent childminder. My husband and I were worried about finding someone who would make our daughter feel safe, loved, and well cared for, just as we would at home. We are so happy that we chose the right childminder.
She has a warm, caring personality and created a welcoming environment that helped our daughter settle in very quickly. Our daughter enjoys going there every day and never cries when we drop her off, which gives us great peace of mind.
We are truly grateful for the love, care, and attention she provides. I would highly recommend Funville Childminder to any parent looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional childminder.
Nera has been an amazing childminder, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She provides a safe, caring, and nurturing environment where my child has always felt happy, supported, and loved.
She is kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about what she does. My child's confidence and development have grown so much during their time with her, and it's been wonderful to see.
Nera is always approachable, keeps us well informed, and goes above and beyond for both the children and their families. Knowing my child is in such capable and caring hands gives us complete peace of mind.
Thank you, Nera, for everything you've done. We are so grateful and would recommend you to anyone looking for a fantastic childminder.
Jenny is exceptional. We looked for childcare for a very long time but when we found Jenny, we knew that she would be great. We were on her waiting list and accepted a space as soon as it became available. She was wonderful during the settling period, making it a lovely transition for me and my little one.
Jenny is professional, patient, understanding and creates a warm and caring environment for the children. She provides regular updates, fun activities, and a healthy warm lunch and snacks.
With Jenny, not only do you get a childminder but a very experienced educator and teacher who brings a wealth of experience and wonderful qualities. Our little one thoroughly enjoyed being with Jenny Babies. We highly recommended her!

We had an excellent experience with Simone. She was reliable, professional, warm and fantastic with Poppy and Woody. They felt comfortable with her straight away, and she kept them happy, engaged and well cared for throughout.
She communicated clearly, was flexible when needed and gave us complete peace of mind. We would happily use her again.

Serene was our evening nanny for a year, caring for our newborn girl, 1-year-old girl, and 3-year-old boy, 3-5 days a week. We couldn't have asked for anyone better. She is reliable, conscientious, hardworking and professional. She was always so safety conscious, incredibly attuned to the toddlers' emotions, and brilliant at teaching them and encouraging their independence. My children always looked forward to seeing her, and mealtimes and bedtime routines ran smoothly. She always left the kitchen and play areas clean and tidy at the end of the evening. We were sad to part ways, and only did so because our needs changed to afterschool care — we would have happily continued with her otherwise. I recommend her without hesitation and am happy to provide more details for a further reference if needed.

My son attended Lucie's from around 8 months until going to school, including the pre school years part time with nursery. I couldn't recommend Lucie highly enough. She provided a great level of care, varied and engaging opportunities for my child in a nurturing environment.
Laura has been an incredible childminder, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She has created such a warm, caring and nurturing environment, and my son genuinely loves spending time with her. Every day is filled with fun activities and adventures, and he comes home excited to tell me all about what they’ve been doing. The progress he has made since being in Laura’s care has been amazing. His vocabulary and communication skills have developed so much, he has become much more confident expressing himself, and he seems to learn something new almost every day. She has also encouraged his creativity, and it has been lovely to see skills like drawing develop through her support and patience. Laura provides healthy, enjoyable snacks and clearly puts a lot of thought into helping the children learn and thrive. She is kind, patient, flexible and genuinely cares about every child she looks after. The personalised Christmas gifts she gave the children were such a thoughtful touch and showed how much she cares. We are so grateful to have found Laura. She has played such an important role in our son’s development, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a caring, dedicated and trustworthy childminder.

Mags looks after my daughter often and has created a beautiful relationship with her. My daughter always asks about her and loves being around her, she was able to understand bedtime, bath time and meal time routines so easily and follows them perfectly allowing me to feel so happy and safe to leave her with my daughter. She made sure to tell me everything and kept in contact to let me know how everything was going. She is so easy to talk too and so loving and such a beautiful person I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my daughter. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a babysitter

My daughter has been going to Cheeky Chops for 4 years since she was 6 months old and will be leaving Sheila’s to start school this September. My little one loved every single day at Cheeky Chops. Countless happy memories with lots of creative play time, activities and learning new things.
Sheila doesn’t just take it as a job, she genuinely loves kids and really engages to their feeling and she’s full of creative ideas to play for your child’s development.
I do believe my daughter has become such a healthy, happy and imaginative child thanks to her.
Her house has such lovely and homely environment. Good space for kids to play and it’s full of interesting setups and toys, also a clean and safe garden for kids to play in any season.
Sheila’s daughter Lily is also so good with kids. Lily was also one of the reasons why we chose Sheila because you can tell a lot from her how amazing Sheila is as a mum as well.
It will be so emotional to say good bye to Sheila soon as she’s literally been like my daughter’s second mum. We were so lucky to find Sheila as our childminder and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

We are so grateful for the wonderful care our daughter received with Ellen. She has been incredibly kind, caring, and nurturing, and our daughter truly thrived in her setting. We saw her confidence, social skills, and development grow so much during her time there.
She created a warm, safe, and happy environment, and our daughter always looked forward to going. We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder and would highly recommend her to any family. Thank you for everything!
My son has been in Louise and Mimi's care for a couple of months, in which time we've already increased our days at Beverley Brook Childcare and reduced at our traditional nursery. It's so heartening to see the positive impact: the sheer delight when he realises he is on his way to spend the day with Louise and Mimi, the way he now challenges himself and the new language he is experimenting with. Not only do Louise and Mimi take the children on the most wonderful adventures, they have inculcated a warm and inclusive environment for all the children. It's noticeable the care and respect they show their little peers. We couldn't be happier and would encourage curious parents to reach out and see for themselves.
My little boy has only been attending for a few months after school he absolutely loves going and looks forward to going every week, he goes twice a week which he gets collected from school and he has said many times he would love to go more days but unfortunately the availability isn’t there. He loves the combined learning with play, she organises after school activities at different places when available. My little boy couldn’t sing her praises anymore than he does the excitement just bursts out of him when he knows she is picking him up from school
