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.
Sarah looked after my two boys for the first time recently and they had a fantastic time. Sarah put me at ease with an initial coffee meeting, and when she came to babysit she made sure my children had a lovely evening. Will definitely be using Sarah’s services for babysitting again, and would recommend her wholeheartedly.
Having 3 kids is a nightmare to find childcare for but kaz was more than ready for the challenge. Was more than happy to send regular updates, photos and videos of everything they had been up to while we were away. Amazing person, fully understands and shows compassion to our circumstances, made sure she had all information of each individual child's needs before she came in. Even managed to get our boys in bed and asleep for record breaking time.
Can't thank or recommend kaz enough ❤️
We met Ellie through childcare and during the initial conversation we were convinced that she was the right person for us as she gave us a clear picture of what to expect during delivery and subsequently. My baby arrived before time and Ellie (though she was out with her family on a weekend getaway) came to be with me right after my delivery. Her presence and knowledge about babies put my mind at ease. During our stay at the hospital and then at home, Ellie and I worked as a team rather than a client and a professional, which makes me thank god again for introducing Ellie to us. I am sure Ellie would be an asset to any family looking for a childcare professional because of her knowledge and involvement.
Messaged Becca for emergency cover as my other childcare had fallen through. She was amazing, helpful and calm. My son enjoyed his day there and I was kept up to date with how he was doing. Would 100% recommend.

Cheryl is a fantastic teacher/tutor. The perfect balance of warm, fun and caring mixed with just the right air of authority that a child really responds well to. My daughter is nearly 5 years old and she has really enjoyed Cheryl’s lessons the last few months and is developing her skills well. She looks forward to seeing Cheryl each week and speaks very highly of her. She’s even asked if she could move in to “save her the travel”. I would completely trust my daughter in Cheryl’s care and highly recommend her as a tutor. She has an effective style of teaching, mixes the lesson up well to cover all the necessary subjects but in a way that feels fun for my little girl. The sessions are a fantastic way to support my daughter’s learning.

Christine is very professional and friendly with kids. My daughter absolutely loved her. They do lots of activities and outdoor learning.
She is amazing and kind. I trust her with my daughter
Thank you Christine

We started this adventure when Gabie was just a little 4 months old, we were obviously quite anxious to leave her so small but from day 1 I could only feel at peace while dropping her to Sam.
Gabie is happy and in a safe environment, surrounded by Sam’s wonderful family and her little friends. She goes there with a smile on her face and that’s what matters the most.
Sam has always been attentive and very professional, sharing her best advices and providing the best care we could hope for.
We feel extremely lucky to have crossed paths with her and would recommend Sam to any parents.
We look forward to the next toddler chapter of fun and learning together thanking her massively for these past months so far.

Maisie was a pleasure to work with. We FaceTime-d prior to meeting. She also arrived early to ensure we had a proper handover. I also appreciated her text half-way through the evening to say that everything was in order. I will definitely hire Maisie again in the future. Thank you, Maisie.
Carol has been looking after my two children for the past 6 and a half years. After having awful experiences with my older two children, I was extremely anxious about who was going to support in the upbringing of the children. I will be forever grateful that I found Carol, and that she had a vacancy at the time. Carol had been very flexible with us which has been a massive help due to working within healthcare settings. The house is always spotless, communication is great, there have been no faults that I can find.
We are all so sad to have to finally say goodbye, but with the support of her the children have been guided well. Once again, I will forever be grateful!
From the moment my daughter was looked after by Lynn, we felt that she was in safe hands. We had a previous bad experience with a childminder where my daughter would not settle. Lynn came into our lives and enriched all of our worlds. I never worried again. Lynn created an amazing and stimulating environment, took my daughter to a vast array of children’s activities every week and out to places of interest. As an only child, Lynn provided my daughter with a social life involving fun with other children and through play and interaction. Lynn became a part of our family and us a part of hers. Lynn looked after our daughter for 10 years and we were blessed. I could not recommend Lynn enough, she is caring kind and an excellent childminder/nanny. My daughter had great times growing up with Lynn and talks of her fondly.
Emmy has been an excellent childminder for my daughter, Seraphine, for the past 2 years, who she has looked after 4 days a week, since age 1. We couldn't so be happier with the love, care and professionalism she's put in a she's been an integral part of Seraphine's development.
Emmy is constantly thinking up new activities, whether arts and crafts or a mini sports day, that are fun and get Seraphine working to develop her skills. She always makes home-made, healthy and nourishing meals, and encourages learning skills like self-feeding, getting dressed, and is happy to give us advice when asked. We get a detailed report with photos every day, which we look forward to so much, it's an absolute highlight of my day, and fills me with confidence about her care.
Emmy is also flexible and has looked after Seraphine for extra days, when she's available, at short notice.
Seraphine started as quite an anxious child and has grown so much in confidence over the two years, so much of which is due to the exceptional care Emmy has given her. We couldn't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a childminder and will be forever grateful for her support.
Unfortunately I have had an awful experience with this childcare setting and would not recommend. I have discussed this with setting how I felt my baby was not in a safe environment due to unsafe sleeping environments (as per a photo) where he had a muslin tied around his neck, he was on the floor asleep, toys around him that were not age appropriate and posed as a choking hazard, faced down into a pillow. After discussing my concerns I was met with hostility and threatened with solicitors.
Please avoid at all costs
Aleksandra is a kindhearted Childminder who cares deeply about the well-being of the children she looks after! She is very responsive and very caring. I would trust her to look after my own children and have done so in the past. I would highly recommend her services.
Nicky has been an absolute saviour for us and our family. She is reliable, flexible and overall absolutely brilliant with our kids who were instantly comfortable with her. She fills you with complete confidence. We will be using Nicky for as long as she will have us and would recommend her to anyone.
Lenka is simply amazing. She currently looks after our 4 daughters ranging from 3.5 years to 8.5 years. She does the school pickup for us and she safely brings the girls home. She does so many interesting activities with girls at home and teaching. Her child caring is perfect. She has very appropriate rules and the children's behavior has markedly improved. The girls love her so much. She does prepare the foods if the need snack and feed them appropriately. She is very clean and keeps the house very tidy too. Myself and my wife are doctors and we peaceful do our job thanks to Lenka. She is a part of our family.
I always say Simona and her team in Hogwarts are my family in this country. I moved to this country in 2021 and had my second born here in May 2023. Without any family in this country, I struggled to find anyone I could trust to look after my kid at the end of my maternity leave. Luckily I met Simona and her team and it was so amazing that I couldn't ask for more. Simona and her team are well trained with professional childcare knowledge.
Daily Routine
Simona and her team kept a regular daily routine for my daughter with plenty of fun activities to stimulate her brain and muscle development. When the weather is good, they spent time playing games and sports activities at the garden. She also helped to adjust my daughter's nap time.
Catering
I was all the time amazed by my daughter's meals at Hogwarts - they all looked so tasty and nutritious! I found it difficult to encourage my kids to take more vegetable and Simona's advices were always inspiring.
Communication
Simona always kept clear records of my little one and shared with me lots of lovely pictures of the day. At the end of the day she shared with us her observations. Simona and her team always keep us informed so I never have to worry about my little one when I am at work.
Love and Care
Last but definitely not least, the team loved my daughter wholeheartedly with lots of care, love and unlimited hugs. They are truly devoted to the well-being of my daughter and all the kids in Hogwarts. I would not hesitate to choose Hogwarts again if I am having more kid in the future.
Again my heartfelt thanks to Simona and her team for everything :)
Tasha is a wonderful childminder who has cared for both of my children over the past three years. My son started with Tasha at two years old and stayed under her care until he left to go to school. Tasha is now childminder to my daughter (aged two) who has been with her since nine months. Tasha offered a number of gradual settling in sessions for both children allowing them to become familiar with both her and her home setting. Her home is very welcoming for the children where they have access to plenty of toys and activities. The opportunities Tasha has afforded my children have been wonderful, from local play groups to trips to the zoo or aquarium. They have gained so much from their time with Tasha and I would highly recommend her. Tasha sends us regular updates on the children during the day and it truly feels like a home from home for them.
We cannot reccoment Dawn enough! She was looking after our little boy from when he was 15 months until 2 years and we had the greatest experience! We had never used this type of childcare before, so we were a bit anxious in the beginning but she made things run so smoothly. She is very reliable, straightforward, caring, fun and has great experience with kids. We trusted her right away and didn’t regret it. Now we have relocated to a different city and my son is still actively asking for her. One of the biggest signs that our little one was in good hands. Lucky to have found her!
