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.
Ella was fantastic with my 3 yo daughter. the first thing I was told the next morning was “I like Ella. She read me lots of stories and sings Let it go”. Big success. I’ve already booked Ella again for babysitting. Communication was great too.
I was in desperate need of a babysitter last minute, I was recommended this website. Obviously unsure having never used this site before, but Ella has proved why it is such a great website for finding child care help.

I would be very wary of using Jemma if you need reliable childcare for work as her policies and approach are not suited to a longterm and reliable service. Her sickness policies are vague and not practical, wanting us to keep our child home if he had a cold and she had an event coming up. She has no direct child care experience, and she struggled to manage normal early years behaviours and wanted my child collected early while I was at work. Gemma prioritises her own family commitments over her childminding commitments. Gemma summarily ended our agreement with no notice via whattsapp my first week back at work, having reassured me all was well hours before.
Joanne is an incredible childminder. She is warm, calm and approachable and my little one was instantly comfortable in her home from his first visit.
Her setting is great; safe, clean and bright, with a great selection of toys and books, that the children have free access to.
Joanne sends regular updates and pictures during the day and my little one always looks happy and relaxed. Her communication and openness make asking questions easy, and I am always reassured she has the right approach.
Joanne was so flexible with settling in and I really felt that she had my little one's best interests at heart and had a great approach that worked for him, which was very reassuring right from the start.
Now my little one is settled with her (which happened so quickly!) he runs in every morning and is happy to see me go. He loves his trips to the playgroups and parks and gets on well with the other children Joanne minds. He comes home happy each day, tired from his many adventures. It's clear she creates a great atmosphere for all the children and that they feel safe and cared for with her.
My little one sleeps and eats well with Joanne because he is comfortable and happy, and her communication in ensuring this has been fantastic.
I can't recommend her enough.
My daughter has been cared for by Sandra for over 3.5 years, since she was 5.5 months old, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. From the very first day, she created a warm, nurturing, and safe environment where my child has thrived. Her patience, kindness, and genuine love for the children in her care shine through in everything she does.
Even now that my daughter is in school, she still looks forward to spending time with her during the holidays — which says everything about the bond she has built. She goes above and beyond every single day, whether it’s planning fun activities, supporting learning, or simply being a comforting and reliable presence.
I am incredibly grateful for the role she has played in my child’s early years. I would recommend her without hesitation to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and exceptional.

My son started when he was almost 11 months old and had settled in pretty well! He is now become so accustomed to going 3 days a week and looks forward to going to spend a full day! He has learned so much already and is only just turned 18 months! He has a great routine that Bisantha has introduced and we can see he really enjoys his time there! Would really recommend Bisantha!
Dawn is absolutely lovely. We used her as a one time babysitter while we visited the Oxford area for a wedding. As we don't live in England, I was nervous to interview and hire a stranger to watch my five year old. She was quick to respond to messages, chatted with me via video call, and had one of her grandchildren with her, which really helped my nerves. The day of the event, she was on time, got to know my son, and I felt really secure leaving him with her. My son can be high energy and she matched that, enthusiastically. They went to the adventure park at Blenheim, had dinner, and then bedtime! I hope to visit the area again and would absolutely hire her again!

Tina has had our son since December 2025 and he is thriving in her care. He’s happy at drop off and collection and making excellent progress with her. He’s with her four days a week and moving to five in September. They’re out and about most days exploring playgroups or visiting the library. We receive lots of photos and check ins through the day to know how he’s doing which is lovely. It is clear on the photos and in interactions how happy our son is in her care. Would absolutely recommend!

Charlie collects our 7 year-old twins and 4 year-old twice a week.
She looks after them until we finish work.
She has never let us down.
The kids love her and we find her very friendly and calm.
She adjusted her hours in the half term to help us with work commitments.
We would definitely recommend her!
Sultana has always been loving, caring, and incredibly supportive. She made my son feel as though he was part of her own family, and he truly loved spending time with her. She played a huge role in supporting his development and always took the time to nurture his growth and confidence.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dedicated, and genuinely passionate about childcare. She is excellent at what she does, pays great attention to detail, and truly cares for every child in her care. The love and care she has shown my son is clear in how happy, comfortable, and secure he feels with her.
Ana has been working with my 7 year old daughter for several months now and I can't recommend her enough - I have seen such an improvement in my daughter's confidence and Ana is just lovely with her. She is so encouraging and really focused so they cover a lot within the hour slot. Thank you so much Ana
My 13 month old baby started at Georgina's recently, I am so pleased I found her as I know my baby is taken such good care of with her.
Georgina sends me lots of photos throughout the day. I highly recommend Goeorgina's childcare services, couldn't do it without her. My baby has already settled in ever so well.
My daughter has been in Fabiana's setting for 8 months now and she loves going. She talks about Fabi and the other kids when away from the setting for a few days on holidays. Fabiana encourages play outside, has wonderful educational activities organised and makes delicious snacks for the kids. I took the time to find a great childminder and I am so happy we found Fabiana, she is truly the most well rounded childminder you could find.
