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.
My daughter now age 2 but has been with Paula since she was 1 and is absolutely thriving in her care. Paula is warm friendly great at communicating. My daughter loves going, there always lots of different activities both at home, crafts, garden play, quite time, play groups and trips out and about. The set up is fantastic with a dedicated area every week there is a different theme. I couldn’t recommend Paula enough, she is very knowledgeable and dedicated to the little ones in her care.
I highly recommend Aisha to any parent looking for reliable and caring support. She has been consistently dependable with school pick-ups and drop-offs for two of my children, always ensuring they are safe, happy, and well looked after. Her loyalty, kindness, and helpful nature have made a real difference to our family, and I truly appreciate the peace of mind she provides.
One of the most valuable aspects of her service has been her excellent communication. She always keeps me updated, is easy to reach, and ensures I am informed about anything important regarding my children. This open and reliable communication has been key in building trust and reassurance, making the entire experience even more positive. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy, dedicated, and professional, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to other parents.
I can’t recommend Gloria & Louise enough! Thanks to them both, my daughter has truly come out of her shell. I was initially nervous about leaving Esme with anyone as She was only used to me, but both Gloria and Louise made us feel completely at ease.
They are always attentive and kind. The setting is lovely and is a family environment.
She’s gotten so comfortable, she just gives me a kiss at the door and happily toddles in.
Thank you both so much—we really appreciate all you have done and the roll you have played helping her blossom .
Sandra has been an absolute blessing in our lives, and I truly cannot express how grateful we are to have her. As a widow without much family around, it was incredibly important—crucial, in fact—to find someone who could play a meaningful role in Anthony’s life. Sandra has done exactly that and so much more.
She has been caring for Anthony since he was just 11 months old, and he is now 4 years and 6 months—that alone speaks volumes. From day one, Sandra has been warm, loving, and nurturing, always treating Anthony as if he were her own.
Sandra is exceptional at communication and consistently goes above and beyond to meet Anthony’s needs. She places great focus on supporting children’s development in every area—speech, potty training, sensory play, and fine motor skills—and we’ve seen such positive growth because of her dedication.
To this day, Anthony never wants to leave her house and is often sad when it’s time to go. Even when we are on holiday, he talks about Sandra and looks forward to seeing her again. That says everything.
We feel truly blessed to have had Sandra in our lives and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, warm, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. She has become part of our family, and we will miss her deeply when Anthony starts school in September. Aneta Daykin
Flora has been looking after my son for 2 years now and if you want an active, engaging and genuinely caring child minder look no further.
Her knowledge and experience stand out from the moment you meet. Very consistent, you can tell all the children genuinely love their time with her. She always plans fun activities each week and my wall is covered with all the artwork we bring home with us. Ten out of Ten!
We feel very lucky that Daisy Daycare had a space for our 4-year-old for after-school care. Our little girl is collected from school and is always happy to go there. She really enjoys her time with Sophia and her team, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing she is with such lovely, kind and caring people. We are very grateful and would highly recommend Sophia’s Daisy Daycare.

Sheri has looked after my 3 year old daughter since August 2025. She has been so kind, gentle, patient and good humoured with my daughter (and me!). Whenever I work from home I hear (in a very pleasant, non-disruptive way!) happy chatting and giggles from downstairs. Sheri bakes, does arts and crafts and goes on local adventures with my daughter and they seem to have such a lovely close relationship. She has been so punctual and reliable - both at morning arrival and playschool pick ups - and has always been so eager and happy to help with babysitting or extra cover, even at short notice. Sheri has diligently helped with laundry, general household tasks and has cooked dinner for both of us each evening. She has always been so open and willing to help with ad hoc requests too. We will miss Sheri's kindness and good humour (our daily logistics are changing as my daughter starts proper school) but will hopefully be able to have her back to babysit a few times a month so we can stay in touch. Sheri knows she can put me directly in touch with any parents if they'd like more info - I'm happy to sing her praises over the phone or by email.

I would strongly not recommend this nanny. We experienced several issues, but the most concerning were related to trust and safety.
We have a strict family rule that our young children must hold an adult’s hand when crossing the road. Our son told us that Denisa was sending them across the road without adult supervision. I raised this directly with her and reminded her of our expectations.
Afterwards, she called our son a “tattletale” and told him not to tell us things that concerned him. This created serious trust and safety concerns for our family

It’s hard to put into words how incredible Kelly and Hannah are at their job, and how perfect of a setting they have created!! Me and my partner were very hesitant about putting our daughter into childcare, however when viewing Kelly and Hannah’s environment our daughter instantly bonded with them both with their calming but bubbly nature. Everytime we pick her up she has a smile ear to ear, and she is so excited to tell us all the fun things she had done, and places they have been too each day. I honestly cannot recommend, and thank Kelly& Hannah enough for caring and looking after our girl like she’s one of their own. Thank you <3
What can I say about Gabi? She is not only an amazing childminder, but so much more than that. From the moment I placed my son in Gabi’s care, I knew there was something truly special about her that went far beyond childcare.
Gabi creates such a warm, loving, and welcoming environment in her home. The children have plenty of time to play and have fun, but she also dedicates time to helping each child develop new skills, including reading and writing. She makes sure the children enjoy a wide range of activities, from playgroups to outings, giving them a fun and well-rounded experience.
Gabi provides nourishing, healthy meals, all lovingly cooked from scratch. Although our son doesn’t have any allergies, I’ve always been impressed by how careful and attentive she is in ensuring every child’s individual needs are fully met.
Gabi is more than a childminder — she feels like part of our family, and she treats every child she cares for as if they were her own. We are so excited that our younger son will soon be starting with Gabi too, and we look forward to continuing this very special relationship.
I truly cannot recommend Gabi highly enough — she is absolutely magical!
There are so many decisions you have to make as a new parent and our decision to go with Tracy is hands down the very best, I can’t imagine a world without her!
I have two children aged 2 and 4 and Tracy has looked after them both since they were babies. My little boy was very clingy and shy and Tracy devoted so much time to settling him in, she is the kindest and most patient of people. She was so warm and cuddly and loving from day one, it was like leaving him with a favourite auntie. My little girl is lively and sometimes demanding and Tracy invents fantastic activities to keep her entertained as well as taking her on outings to parks/playgrounds/playgroups and ryhme time. When it’s a home day and she has her mummy all to herself she asks to go to ‘my Tracy’s house’ - what could be a better endorsement than that!!

Sarah looked after our 2 daughters (aged 7 and 5) after school. She was brilliant with them, the girls took to her straight away, and we always felt comfortable knowing they were in her care. Sarah is always punctual, a fab communicator, and all round lovely person.

Steph has been the childminder for both my children over the past 12 years. This includes looking after my daughter from when she was a baby. She has been absolutely brilliant. It has been as if my children have had a second home and a second family. She has always gone above and beyond, with legendary Christmas parties, Birthday parties for each child and trips out. I really feel blessed that we have had Steph as our childminder.
This was my first experience having someone outside of the family look after my son and it couldn’t have gone better. Lashajor immediately made Noah feel completely comfortable and she was able to entertain him the whole time leaving me free to work knowing Noah was happy and in good hands. I feel very grateful to have met Leshajor and had such a positive experience. I would be glad to have her watch Noah anytime and would highly reccomend her.

Fay is a brilliant childminder
Fay offers a warm and welcoming environment with a focus on learning everyday skills (using cutlery, practicing tooth brushing(!) etc) as well as more structured learning and play which is always varied and fun.
Our son especially loves the time outdoors (walks, visits to the park, stables, gardening etc).
We are very happy with Fay and highly recommend her.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a caring, trustworthy, and dedicated childminder for our son. From the very beginning, she created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where he felt comfortable, happy, and genuinely excited to go every day.
What stands out the most is the genuine affection and patience she shows towards the children. She pays close attention to each child’s individual needs, encourages learning through play, and helps build confidence, independence, and good manners in such a natural way. We have noticed tremendous positive changes in our son’s social skills, communication, and overall development since being in her care.
She is extremely reliable, organised, and professional, while also maintaining a lovely family-like atmosphere that gives parents real peace of mind. Communication has always been excellent — she keeps us updated regularly and clearly cares deeply about the wellbeing and happiness of the children.
As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is safe, loved, and happy when away from home. We can honestly say she has become an important and trusted part of our son’s early years, and we are truly grateful for everything she has done for him.
We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a kind, dependable, and exceptional childminder.
Nicole has been helping us with our 2 girls, aged 8 and 5. She’s honestly lit up their lives ❤️. They adore her and look forward to their afternoons with her so much. She is kind and patient with them and always has fun activities. I trust her 100% picking them up from school and know they could not be in better hands.

I honestly cannot put into words how wonderful this person is. She is incredibly caring, loving, and attentive with the children, and they truly feel happy and comfortable in her care.
My son settled in unbelievably quickly and even slept there from the very first day, which says so much about the warm, safe, and welcoming environment she creates. The children feel completely at ease, they eat very well, and they have plenty of opportunities to socialise and interact with other kids.
Since starting with her, my son comes home every day with new words and new things he has learned. He is only 18 months old and already knows more than 15 English words that he learned while being in her care. It is amazing to see how much progress he has made in such a short time.
She also follows an excellent routine, which has been wonderful for my son because he thrives on structure and consistency. The routine is respected very well, and you can clearly see the positive impact it has on the children.
Another thing that gave me so much peace of mind is how clean, safe, and well-organised everything is. I have been to her home myself and saw how clean and child-friendly the environment is. The toys are safe, the space is secure, and she takes hygiene very seriously. My son always comes home clean, with his hands and face washed, and his nappy changed properly and on time. He has never come home with irritation, redness, or discomfort. I truly receive him back just as clean and cared for as when I leave him there.
What I appreciate just as much is how understanding, flexible, and supportive she is. She is always available to help and has never made me feel like I am asking for too much. Even in emergency situations, when I have not been able to give much notice, she has always been more than happy to look after Rareș. She has helped me so many times during stressful moments, and for that I will always be grateful.
She is also extremely communicative and always keeps me updated. At the end of each day, she takes the time to tell me what my son did, what he learned, how his day went, if anything unusual happened, and whether everything was okay. As a parent, that level of communication means so much.
She is such a kind and genuine person who radiates warmth, positivity, and care. As a parent, it gives me incredible peace of mind knowing my son is with someone who truly loves what she does.
I recommend her wholeheartedly. From one parent to another, she is a very safe and trustworthy choice, and I truly believe that any child — even one who may struggle with adapting to new environments — will settle in very quickly with her. I could not recommend her more highly.
