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.
It’s going to be 1 year since we joined Giulia and super happy we found her. She treats our daughter as her own. Our baby girl was 7 months old when she met Giulia so she literally grew up in there.
Giulia does amazing care of all kids and everyone being treated with same love.
She does accommodate flexible hours, very understanding and just amazing person.
Always feeling safe and not worrying at all leaving our child there.
Definitely recommend.
At the beginning our son was a little unsure about going, but Kerri was so patient and really helped him settle in. Now he runs to her every morning and hardly even says goodbye!
Kerri and Amy do lots of outdoor activities, which is perfect for more active children who enjoy being outside and exploring. It’s clear they put a lot of care and effort into making the days fun and engaging.
We’re so happy we found Kerri & Amy and would highly recommend to anyone!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We’ve been very happy with the care Caroline provides for our twin toddlers and their big sister. She is warm, reliable, and full of energy, and the children absolutely adore her and the cuddles.
She regularly takes them out to baby playgroups, soft play, park, library, museum, art gallery and many other places/events suitable for children. They really enjoy the outings and this has been great for their social development. Managing twins particularly isn’t easy, but she does it with patience and positivity, always keeping them engaged and happy.
We feel very confident leaving the children in her care and would happily recommend her to other families.
As a working mum, I would highly recommend Ellie for her organizational skills and consideration for feedback! My family and I were relocated to London for work, and I needed childcare while temporarily living in Canary Wharf. When I contacted her with only short notice, she took on the challenge with stride and was very committed to providing care for my baby boy. Her sons also loved to play with the baby, and were very caring, creating a welcoming environment.
Ellie planned many activities and outings, especially to local children's classes, and my son came home each day happy (and tired!). She also consistently asked for feedback so that she could better plan routines based on his preferences.
The location is very convenient whether you are living or working in Canary Wharf.
I will be fair as I don’t like speaking down on a childminder but I will express my issues. I went to this childminder house for a viewing, as I was interested in my son joining her child minding services. Upon arriving I felt I was greeted with a bit of hostility and distance. Not very welcoming. Her daughter was in the room (which was the main room where kids will be) and she was , coughing and quite sick, just baring in mind I have a vulnerable child. She came very near to me coughing as well as close to my baby coughing a lot. I felt she should have not allowed her child near my baby knowing that her child was unwell with a flu. Nonetheless, I felt as if she was a little hostile and not completely inviting. She didn’t ask questions about my child, and just randomly informed me that there was someone else who wanted my son’s spot who is full time, as I only needed part time. I do believe she could have not wasted my time by letting me arrive at her house only to let me know she may not be able to take me on. This could have been communicated over the phone. There could be a colour discrimination going on here. But nonetheless, I would not recommend, as my spirit did not take to her. And there was an off vibe I got.
I will be fair and not downplay her environment was really nice and beautiful and very neat. And looks like a good environment for a child to go to. But the vibes I got was off, mixed with possible discrimination that I felt from her especially with the odd looks and very offish overall vibes.
Absolutely brilliant childminders! I have sent both my boys to Bubbles, both settled in so well and were made to feel at home right from the start. Ginni and Tori are fantastic they are so friendly, trustworthy and great at communicating. I always felt completely at ease knowing the boys were in such safe, caring hands.
The support they received with their development was amazing, with clear learning objectives linked back to developmental milestones. They went on so many lovely outings too, from farm trips and playgroups to parks and little shopping adventures, all thoughtfully linked to the curriculum enquiry of the term.
The house is set up beautifully with great resources and a warm, welcoming family feel. It’s such a nurturing environment where the children can learn, explore and thrive. I honestly couldn’t recommend them more!
Our daughter has been going to Showmi’s for almost 18 months and we can’t speak highly enough of her. Showmi and Amama provide a loving, safe environment for children, and our daughter has an exceptionally close bond with them both.
Given that my wife and I work full time, Showmi has played a big role in our daughter’s development over the past year and a bit. She has gone from a baby to a fully-fledged little girl with excellent communication and understanding (sometimes too good), social confidence and lots of practical skills such as putting on her coat by herself, tidying away her shoes when she gets home and washing her hands after going to the potty. She is often coming home with new words and abilities which can only have come from Showmi!
The setting itself is a summer house (separate from the main house) which is spacious and well equipped with toys, books, and arts & crafts. My daughter gets a varied and well-balanced diet and for the time being even seems to like vegetables…
My wife and I would both highly recommend Showmi to any parents with young children.
Rachael is honestly every parents dream when it comes to looking after your child. We genuinely couldn’t have found anyone better to support our daughter, not just with fun and play, but with helping her grow, learn, and build confidence in so many little ways. There hasn’t been a single moment where I’ve felt worried or unsure. Not one. I trust Rachael completely with her and with everything she needs.
Rachael's personality, her family, and her home have given our daughter (and us) such a sense of comfort. I really look forward to the updates and photos I get, they’re so real, so full of her just being herself, playing, exploring, and learning, it's really lovely to see!
Our daughter is getting childcare that feels perfectly made for who she is, and Rachael just has this incredible, natural way with children. She rarely has any hesitation going in, and the only times she does are when she’s a bit under the weather or tired. On those mornings when I feel awful as a parent, Rachael is right there scooping her up with cuddles, comfort, and reassurance. It means more than she probably realises.
The bond between them is absolutely beautiful, and because of that, she gets to spend her days in such a calm, happy, caring environment. I could honestly go on forever about how amazing Rachael is, but the truth is, you can see it in the way our daughter talks about her.
Fran is a wonderful nanny, she is very organised and calm amongst the chaos of family life. She is very aware of each child’s individual needs and moods and manages their behaviour appropriately. Fran is very conscientious and reliable and manages to keep our house in great working order!
Jenna has taken care of both my children. My little boy is 9 now so a while ago! But my little girl is 3 and has just left to start her preschool journey.
Both children loved going to Jennas house! She provides a home from home and each child is made to feel loved and secure. Jenna provides care for small groups which means each child gets the attention and cuddles they need.
Its hard to explain but Jenna just makes you feel at home and comfortable almost like your taking your child to a friends house!
Jenna is also really good at taking the children out to play groups so both my children were well socialised and therefore struggled less with starting preschool.
I also love the activities Jenna does, Sophia always loved showing me whatever they made that day!
I cant recommend Jenna enough! I felt so confident knowing my daughter would be with her!
Sarah joined us when our baby was 5 weeks old to help get into a nighttime routine and give me much needed rest to deal with my toddler and the baby during the day, especially as my husband works away. The difference she made in the 4 weeks she was with us was incredible! Our baby now sleeping from 10pm - 7am and we’ve worked hard under Sarah’s advice to get rid of the dummy which was causing us to get up multiples times during the night as well as establish a day time routine. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!
When I first met Zoe, I just knew she was the right choice. At the time my son was 6 months old but she made everything so easy for me as an emotional new mum! My son is now 2 and loves it with Zoe and I have loved seeing him grown and learn. She’s amazing and I feel so lucky to have found her.
I left a previous review highlighting how you offered childcare for my wedding and then went completely AWOL with no warning or response, you are a liar in your response as you did not let me know or ever even reply to me ( I have the screen shot of you not answering) its highly concerning you would lie like this and I recommend people look else where for childcare if you see honesty as an important quality and that’s without the issue of her agreeing to be childcare for our wedding and then just ignoring me. If it wasn’t for me trying to confirm we would have been without childcare for our wedding.

It has been an incredible experience so far for both our daughters and us having Sally as a childminder. My partner and I were very anxious about sending our daughters to a childminder, but when we met with Sally we knew we'd found the perfect person and setting for our girls. Honestly Sally has continued to exceed our expectations constantly, her care, kindness and passion shines through and both our daughters have made so much progress socially and in their development since going to Sally's. We would highly recommend Sally to any parent looking to send their child/ren to a childminder
We are so grateful that our daughter can spend time at Brooke’s Home Nursery. Brooke does a lot of interesting activities with the kids, allowing them to experience and learn something new every day. We are updated throughout the day via an application, seeing all the pictures and reading the stories of what they have been up to. This makes me smile and reassures me that our daughter is in good hands.
I cannot recommend Jenna highly enough as a childminder.
She has cared for my daughter for over two years, during which time my daughter had complex medical needs.
From the very beginning, Jenna gave me complete confidence that she was fully capable of supporting my daughter and meeting her needs safely and appropriately at all times.
Thanks to the secure, nurturing, and happy environment Jenna provides, my daughter has never experienced separation anxiety. She is made to feel like part of the family and is cared for with the utmost professionalism, warmth, and kindness.
Jenna consistently demonstrates an excellent balance of genuine care and high professional standards.
Jenna plans and delivers fun, educational, and engaging activities that are thoughtfully tailored to each child’s age, stage of development, and individual interests.
It is clear how much effort and consideration she puts into ensuring the children are stimulated, supported, and encouraged to thrive.
I would highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for childcare. She provides a safe, supportive, and enriching environment, and I am incredibly grateful for the care she has given my daughter.
Insane . Se made me signed a contract and after a month told me she can’t work anymore. In the meantime she was claiming all the hours from my code to then be with my child for just few hours a day instead of for the full six hours . She also lied to the local authorities saying it was my request to close the contract . Basically she’s running out of country with 98 hours paid she she never worked

Becca has been looking after my daughter since she was 18 months old. It is the home from home setting i had been looking for and my daughter loves it there.
Becca takes her on lots of fun and educational outings every week such as farms, playgrounds, playgroups, woodland walks and wildlife centres. The home has a lovely playroom and garden filled with toys and activities for the children to do and they are always busy!
My daughter has progressed so much with her speech, pencil grip, letter formation, knowledge of numbers and letters, road safety, and socialising skills and Becca keeps me updated along the way with daily pictures and blogs of what they have been up to.
Becca often meets up with other local childminders so the children have a chance to interact with lots of other children which is great.
My daughter is with Becca 3 full days a week and always looks forward to drop offs in the morning! We will be sad to leave when she starts school in September but i am so pleased we found Becca to look after her during these early years.
I would highly recommend Becca's childcare to anyone looking for a childminder :)

When My daughter started with Amy and Kerri I was a nervous wreck she had never been left with anyone who wasn't family before.
so I was very anxious but Kerri updated me on how her first day was going and she loved it. she settled in so quickly she now loves going
She has come on so much since going to Kerri and Amy’s she is so much more confident I’m so grateful for eveything they have done for my little girl and me
