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 so lucky to have found Tasha. She takes such great care of our kids and most importantly, they adore staying with her. Drop offs and collections are a breeze and she is very accommodating. Communication is always spot on and she is very professional and up to date in terms of policies which gives us added reassurance. A home from home for our two little ones.
Our boy started with Debbie at the start of September.
Debbie was great throughout the settling in process keeping me updated and what was best to do next and how to support him (think I needed more support than our baby š).
He has grown in confidence since he started and heās taking in everything that you do and showing us at home, lots of nursery rhyme actions!
Debbie keeps us updated throughout the day and nothing is too much to ask! So glad we chose Debbieās daycare, a real home from home with lots of experiences and learning happening every day! Thanks so much xxx

I honestly couldnāt ask for a better childminder. From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease ā kind, patient, and full of warmth. My children absolutely loves going to her and talks about her constantly at home! Itās clear she puts so much love and care into everything she does, whether itās planning fun, creative activities, helping with learning, or just making sure every child feels safe and happy.
Her home is always welcoming and full of laughter, and I always know my little one is in the best hands. The communication is excellent too ā she keeps us updated with lovely photos and messages, so we never miss a moment of their day.
Sheās truly gone above and beyond for our family, and weāre so grateful to have found her. If youāre looking for someone who genuinely cares and treats your child like their own, I canāt recommend her enough. š
Gloria has been our nanny for over a year and has been great. She looks after my-now- 7, 5 and almost 3 year old. For the older two she does wraparound and for the little one she does all day. Gloria is reliable and communicative and sheās kind and caring as well as clear and boundaried, which is great for kids. Sadly, we are reducing our hours as the littlest one will start nursery and we are reducing hours. Weāll be very sad to see her go and can highly recommend her. My 7 year old says: 5 stars.

We are incredibly grateful for Rashiās childcare, where our son has thrived. From the moment we enrolled our son, we felt reassured by Rashiās professionalism, warmth, and dedication. Rashi and her team created a nurturing and stimulating environment, helping our son grow both academically and socially. We saw remarkable progress in his communication skills, confidence, and independence, thanks to the care and attention the team provided to him. The daily activities are always engaging and educational, and we loved receiving updates through photos and videos, which made us feel connected even when we were apart. What truly stands out is Rashi and her teamās genuine love for the children in their care and itās evident they treat each one like their own. We couldnāt have asked for a better childcare experience for our son. Thanks a lot Rashi, Mihaela, Navi and Manu for all the love and support. We wholeheartedly recommend Rashiās childcare to any parent seeking a safe, loving, and enriching environment forĀ theirĀ child.
Itās always a worry trying to find the right childminder for your child, and with this being my third baby, I was a little pickier than I had previously been. Elise has been everything I could have hoped for and so much more. Sheās so caring, loving, and sweet with my daughter, and really treats her like a member of the family. My daughter is thrilled to go to her every day and always comes out with a big smile on her face when I pick her up. Sheās always clean, well looked after, and has so many fun things to tell me. Elise plans every day out meticulously, with a mixture of indoor and outdoor activities, messy play, role playing, reading books, singing, play groups, chill days, loads of learning tools and play, and even the occasional day trip. We get a daily thorough update with pictures, which I love as itās a real comfort to know what sheās doing and that sheās having so much fun. Elise has made the transition back to work after having my daughter so much easier. I genuinely feel happy dropping her off every day knowing sheās going to have a wonderful time and be so well cared for. Thank you, Elise š©·

Lisa has looked after all three of my children throughout their time in primary school. We have found her to be a warm and understanding carer who will be as flexible as possible to help meet the needs of our family. My children have always felt very safe in her care and my youngest describes her as "very kind".
My hours at work have often changed and Lisa has done everything she can to make sure she can accommodate us. I honestly think I wouldn't be able to juggle being a working mum without her.
My daughter Rosalina, who is almost 3 years old, has been with Liliana for the past two months and absolutely loves her time there. From the very beginning, I noticed such a positive change in her. Rosalina is quite an emotional little girl, and with her previous childminder (where she was for seven months), she would still cry every morning at the door when saying goodbye to me.
With Liliana, itās completely different ā Rosalina now says goodbye with confidence and a smile, which means so much to me as a parent. It truly shows how safe, happy, and comfortable she feels in Lilianaās care.
Liliana provides a warm, nurturing, and creative environment for the children. She engages them with wonderful activities that Rosalina absolutely loves, encouraging both learning and fun. I also really appreciate the individual attention she gives to each child, supporting their emotional and physical development in such a thoughtful way.
Iām so grateful to have found Liliana ā she has brought out the best in my daughter, and I couldnāt be happier with the care and love Rosalina receives every day. Highly recommend!

Diane looked after my son on regular basis for two months before we moved house and she's been wonderful throughout. We all felt comfortable with her when at home, and she also took initiative to take my son to local activities and playgrounds. She's bonded with my son really well and was a reliable presence during a chaotic time for which we're very thankful. I would recommend her to anyone as she's quick to build rapport with both children and parents and is pleasure to deal with.

My son attended Luciaās setting for a year, from when we moved into the area up to when he started at a school nursery. And what an amazing year it was! He was thoroughly welcomed from day one which ensured he settled in quickly.
Lucia was always so bubbly and jolly each morning on drop off, which meant my son started his day very brightly and happily. Each day was filled with all sorts of activities - always very varied too - which included plenty of play with toys and puzzles, reading, dancing and listening to music, dress up, cooking, painting, colouring and other crafts and lots of outdoor play if the weather was good! He very proudly brought home lots of his crafts, and we still look at some of them now. Attention was paid to different holidays/special days throughout the year (a great learning opportunity for the kids), and birthdays were celebrated so sweetly - this really made the kids feel special.
I could tell that Lucia regularly changed/upgraded her toys, which meant lots of new and interesting things to interact with.
Naps at Luciaās were a breeze, although my son dropped his nap during the year, which Lucia also adjusted really well to.
Food was excellent - I was told - and apparently much yummier than what I make at home!!
My boy made some great friends at Luciaās setting, and there was a lovely little group there, which also meant he looked forward to going each day. It was really such a wonderful, happy, caring environment for the children.
Lucia is very friendly and a popular member of her local community, which was also really lovely to see.
I would thoroughly recommend her setting for anyone looking for a childminder. We really miss going to Luciaās!

Lisa is currently looking after both my children (3 and 5) and weāve been using her services for the past 2.5 years with no complaints. They thoroughly enjoy the setting Lisa provides within her home and bonus, Lisa does the local school run. I 100% recommended and trust Lisa with both my children and I couldnāt ask for more from her services.

I have used Lisa now for around three years to look after both of my daughters. Youngest started with Lisa not long before she was two. Lisa has gone from having my youngest full-time to now doing school runs morning and afternoon. She is flexible with last-minute changes and is easy to communicate with on a regular basis. While she doesnāt take funded hours, you can use tax-free childcare account to pay so that helps.
Lisa gives a warm family feel to the care she gives. Itās like having an aunt or family member take care of my children. She will love them and care for them, but she also wonāt take any nonsense. Which I really like and it matches with the way we parent our children. Would 100% recommend Lisa for families who are looking for a child carer in the area.

My eldest daughter was with lisa from 11 months old. I saw a handful of childminders as was super nervous about leaving her but when I saw lisa with her and the other children on her care I knew I could leave my daughter knowing she'd be well looked after. Lisa then had my middle daughter too from a similar age until I swapped jobs and no longer needed a childminder. A few year (and another baby) later I swapped job again and needed a childminder again, my two daughter immediately said they would only go to lisa-luckily she had space! Now my 3 children go every morning before and a couple of school pick ups and are all happy and well cared for. Lisa is brilliant with them. As the parent, lisa is also very organised, lets us know availability from January for the whole year and will be flexible when things crop up and we made need the odd extra day or hour here and there. Lisa has made being a working parent as 'easy' as it can be and I can't thank her enough.
My daughter has been with Sarah and mum for over a year and I am so so happy with the care and love they have shown.
I met Sarah and her mum at a stay and play and instantly knew they were the right fit for my daughter.
They are loving, caring, always updating me, and I believe that my daughter has come on so well due to their support. She is so happy to see them and she has her little extended family with them. I will be very sad when itās time to leave.
I canāt recommend them highly enough.
Tina has been absolutely amazing with my son, who has been going to her since he was 2 years old (heās 6 next month). He is autistic, non-verbal and still in nappies and Tina has always gone above and beyond to meet his individual needs with such care, understanding and patience.
Sheās incredibly flexible and supportive, which has made such a difference for us as a family. My son adores his time with her and I have complete peace of mind knowing heās in such capable and loving hands.
My daughter, whoās now 12, also attended Tinaās when she was younger, and she was just as happy and well cared for. Tina is a genuinely wonderful person and a truly exceptional childminder ā I canāt recommend her enough!
Olga has been a cherished part of our āvillageā for several years now, and we adore her! Our daughter began childcare with Olga when she was one, and she has absolutely flourished under Olgaās care. Olga has a wonderfully warm and nurturing presence that instantly puts children (and parents!) at ease. She takes the time to really understand each childās unique personality and needs, and she has beautifully supported and encouraged our daughterās growth and temperament. Olga is incredibly flexible and down to earth; we couldnāt recommend her more!
We were lucky enough to have Claire care for our 2-year-old while our regular childminder was on maternity leave, and I can honestly say she was an absolute gem.
From the very beginning, my little one felt safe, happy, and completely at ease in her care. He quickly bonded not just with her, but with her lovely family too ā he would come home full of stories, smiles, and excitement about his day. It was clear he was thriving in her nurturing and playful environment, and as a parent, that kind of peace of mind is priceless.
Leaving was genuinely hard for us. We were sad to say goodbye and often found ourselves wishing we could have stayed longer. The warmth, structure, and joy she brought to our sonās days made a lasting impression on all of us.
Even after our time with her ended, she continued to be incredibly supportive ā especially when our original childminder let us down. She went out of her way to help us, showing just how much she cares about the families she works with.
We would highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and truly special childminder. She gave our son a safe and loving space to grow, and weāll always be grateful for the time we spent with her.
Christine continues to be absolutely fantastic! She cared for my daughter previously, and now that my son is with her, weāre just as pleased as ever so wanted to leave a more recent review. Her setting is full of fantastic resources, so many varied toys and activities that keep the children engaged and happy. The outdoor area is amazing; sheās clearly invested a lot into making it such a lovely, stimulating space for the kids.
Christine also takes the children out regularly to play centres, toddler groups, and other fun outings, which my son absolutely loves. She provides a warm, caring, and safe environment, and itās clear she genuinely enjoys what she does. I couldnāt ask for a better childminder ā we feel so lucky to have her!

I would like to commend Isoken for the excellent care and support she provides to the children. She is very good with them and creates a warm, nurturing environment where they can learn and grow.
Isoken engages the children in a wide range of activities that promote their development, including singing nursery rhymes, supporting their motor skills, and encouraging interaction with their peers. She also takes them on outings, which helps broaden their experiences beyond the home setting.
I have seen a noticeable improvement in my daughterās confidence, communication, and overall development since being in Isokenās care. It is clear that Isoken is passionate about what she does, and she goes the extra mile to ensure every child feels valued and included.
I would highly recommend Isoken to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and dedicated childminder. She truly provides value for money, and I am very grateful for all she does.
