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.
Marilu has been amazing at looking after my 1 year old over the summer before she started nursery. I knew from the first time I met her that she would be a great match for our family. She has years of experience, is incredibly friendly and bubbly, and is also very creative and engaging with children. My daughter loved her from day one and I always felt completely comfortable leaving her in Marilu’s care.
Our son was with Gisele at the Tick Tock Childminders for 2 1/2 years, and we were extremely happy with our experience - and most importantly, so was our son. Gisele's house is a home away from home and we love that his interests are nurtured by Gisele and the team. But equally important to us as parents is knowing that each day he is introduced to a wide breadth of games, creative tasks, and learning activities that broaden his horizons; we always look forward to picking him up and being shown an exciting new creative project that he's made and learning what he has been up to during the day.
Communication with Gisele and the team is always easy and clear, and any questions we may have are always answered on the day. It's been a real joy watching our son become an increasingly independent little person. As well as the strong bonds that he has with Gisele and the team, he has forged a great many friendships with the other children who attend Tick Tock Childminders, which is a testament to the caring environment where importance is placed on helping the children build positive relationships with one another.

We had a really lovely experience with Claudia. She was professional, punctual and reliable, and made us feel comfortable and reassured from the very beginning. She was kind and caring with our daughter, who absolutely loved spending time with her. We felt very comfortable knowing our daughter was in such good hands. Claudia was a pleasure to have, and we would happily recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy babysitter.
Martina is an amazing nanny. She is incredibly creative, full of interesting ideas and schemes that kept my little boys completely entranced when they were small and then as they grew she adapted to their changing interests and ideas. They still love her and stay connected even though they are 17 and 19 - from a nanny she became a very good friend to them. Martina looked after my sons before they started school, my youngest from 4 months old and then would pick them both up from school, chatting to them, playing and making them their dinner. We all love her. She is intelligent, curious, thoughtful and fun. We can't recommend her highly enough.
Brenda has been an incredible childminder and has supported both my son and me above and beyond anything I could have expected.
My son has been with Brenda since he was just seven months old, and he has now started Reception. To him, she is not simply his childminder — she is “Auntie Brenda” — which says so much about the bond, trust and affection that have developed over the years.
Looking at how confidently and happily he has made the transition into school, I can really see the impact of the time, care and effort Brenda has invested in him.
She has done so much more than simply care for him. She has consistently supported his learning and development, encouraged his curiosity and helped prepare him exceptionally well for starting school. In fact, he has entered Reception not only ready for school, but in many areas already exceeding expectations. His school has recognised this too, to the point that the Headteacher has contacted me to discuss how we can continue to support and develop him outside of school.
As a working parent, having someone I could trust with my child from such a young age has been invaluable. Brenda has supported us in ways that have often gone far beyond what I would normally expect from a childminder, and I will always be grateful for the role she has played in my son’s early years.
I would recommend Auntie Brenda wholeheartedly to any parent looking for someone who will genuinely care about their child’s wellbeing, development and future. she definitely gets more than five stars.

Wonderful with Hugo
Talia looked after my 6-year-old son last week and she was absolutely brilliant with him. He took to her straight away, really enjoyed spending time with her and was very happy and comfortable in her care. Talia was friendly, reliable and gave me complete peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will definitely be asking her to look after my son again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A big thank you to Anastasi for being so professional and wonderful with my children. She quickly engaged with them, made them feel comfortable, and they absolutely loved her. They kept talking about her afterwards! It was lovely to see how quickly she connected with them. We really appreciate her kindness, professionalism, and friendly approach. Highly recommended!
Sharon has been helping me take care of my daughter since she was 6 months old, and I cannot express how grateful I am for her.
For more than two years, she has curated a rich, thoughtful schedule that has allowed my daughter to live her absolute best "kiddy life." It has been a wonderful whirlwind of music groups, play cafés, visits to the botanical garden, galleries, museums, farm visits, and endless picnics.
Sharon gives her a bespoke, enriching experience where she feels cherished and thoroughly engaged every single day.
Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Sharon arrives promptly at 9:00 am to take Eve on scheduled adventures, returning her home at 4:00 pm.
Throughout their days, she seamlessly manages mealtimes and playtimes while planning unique activities. I am always kept in the loop with regular photo updates and wonderful artwork brought home at the end of the day.
As a single parent, Sharon has become such an integral part of our little family that I would have happily kept her with us until my daughter turned eighteen! ☺️..... Thanks to Sharon's dedication, patience, and nurture, Eve has blossomed into a confident little lady with such a calm temperament.
Sharon is worth every single penny and truly one in a million. Words are simply not enough to capture how much she means to us..... Any family fortunate enough to welcome her into their child’s life will be exceptionally lucky.

We honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! They have been absolutely amazing with our daughter, who started when she had just turned one. From day one, they have been so caring, accommodating and flexible with anything we’ve ever needed.
We love how regularly they keep us updated throughout the day, with lovely photos and updates of what she’s been getting up to. They take the children on trips and provide so many lovely experiences, which we really appreciate.
Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting, and it’s so lovely to see how happy and settled she is there. We feel completely reassured knowing she is so well cared for, and we genuinely wouldn’t send her anywhere else. We’re so grateful for all the amazing work they do and couldn’t be happier with the nursery!
I know Abita from 2013 she has looked after my first son until secondary school. On 2021 she looked after my second sons and she has dedicated time to prepare him to go to reception learning how to write is name and count the numbers. She is always available anytime you need very flexible with time to leave your child earlier in the morning or collect late afternoon she has helped me a lot with this as working parent. She brings your child to the park and interact with session in the Enfield library. She is 5 stars childminder thanks Abita.
We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder for our son, Marley. Julie cared for him from the age of one right up until he started school, and throughout that time she treated him like one of her own family.
Marley absolutely adores her and still loves spending his half terms and summer holidays with her, which says everything about the bond they have built over the years.
She was always finding fun activities and taking the children on adventures, giving Marley so many wonderful experiences and memories. She played a huge part in helping shape him into the confident, happy little boy who started school in 2025.
She is kind, patient, gentle and genuinely cares about every child she looks after. As a parent, knowing your child is safe, happy and loved while in someone else’s care is invaluable, and she gave us that reassurance every day.
We will always be grateful for the care, support and love she has shown Marley over the years, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a childminder.
Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for Marley, we appreciate you!

Abida has been my children's childminder for 9 years in total from when they were 2 to 11. She is such a warm and welcoming person, and has excellent provisions for children of all ages. Both my children loved her and she treated them with such care and kindness and always made sure that they were happy and having fun. She was always very accommodating to my childrens' needs and was so approachable and flexible when my work schedule was irregular and messed with our normal childcare timetable. She was an absolute godsend to me and I cannot recommend her services enough!
My daughter has been with Rachael for 18 months now and she absolutely enjoys it.
The setting is fantastic with 'nursery' vibes but in a home setting where the children are cared for very much on an individual basis, catering to their strengths and supporting areas needed for development.
My daughter always eats all the home cooked food made there and is very excited to see her friends every day.
Olivia has been an absolute joy to have as part of our family. She looked after our two daughters, who were three and one when she started, for over a year.
She is incredibly caring, proactive and confident, always coming up with fun activities and adventures for the girls and happily taking them out and about. Both our daughters absolutely adored her and formed such a special bond with her.
Olivia is kind, polite, patient and firm when needed, with a lovely approach to boundaries and discipline. She was also organised, reliable, always punctual and respectful of our home.
Although our girls are now in nursery and school, we still love seeing Olivia on an ad hoc basis. She has become a very special person to our family, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a wonderful, trustworthy and loving nanny.
Choosing a childminder for our 10 month old was a decision we didn't take lightly, and we searched hard before we found Deglys. We knew straight away this was the place for us. She is so lovely and accommodating, and genuinely goes above and beyond. She treats our son like family, and it shows in everything she does, with a great mix of fun and learning activities. She brings so much fun and warmth to his days, and cooks him lovely, nutritious home-made meals. If you're anxious about leaving your little one in someone else's care, spending five minutes with Deglys will put your mind completely at rest - we couldn't recommend her more highly.
