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.
Our daughter Matylda attended Monika’s Childminding from September 2024 until August 2026. She was only 18 months old when she first started.
From the very beginning, we knew we had found the best possible place for her. Matylda was still in nappies, and throughout the entire time she was in Monika’s care, she never had any nappy rash and was always clean, changed, and well looked after. Monika also made sure she had her naps on time every day, which helped maintain a healthy daily routine.
We are especially grateful for the support Monika gave us during weaning and toilet training. She showed incredible patience and experience, and her help made these important milestones much easier for both our daughter and us.
We truly believe that the time Matylda spent at Monika’s Childminding had a significant impact on her development. She is a very active child, and every day she took part in a wide variety of activities that encouraged her learning, creativity, confidence, and independence.
Over the two years she attended, we never experienced any problems. Childcare was always available, and the children were consistently cared for in a safe, warm, and nurturing environment. On the few occasions when unexpected circumstances meant we needed to collect Matylda later than planned, Monika was always understanding and happy to keep her for longer. We were incredibly grateful for her flexibility and kindness.
The range of activities provided for the children was outstanding. They celebrated birthdays and special occasions throughout the year, including Easter, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparents' Day, and many other events. Matylda also regularly came home with beautiful arts and crafts, allowing us to see how much she was learning and creating.
Throughout the entire time Matylda attended Monika’s Childminding, we never once worried about her safety. We always knew she was being cared for by someone who was responsible, caring, and genuinely dedicated to every child.
We wholeheartedly recommend Monika’s Childminding to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and supportive environment for their child. If you are wondering who to trust with your little one, we can honestly say that Monika is one of the best childcare providers we could have wished for. We are incredibly grateful for the past two years and for everything she has done for our daughter.
We cannot recommend Harri enough and genuinely cannot think of anyone we would rather leave our daughter with. From the moment you walk into her home, it has such a warm, welcoming and nurturing atmosphere, and our daughter absolutely loves going there.
Harri is an exceptional childminder who is kind, caring, patient and incredibly dedicated to every child in her care. She has built such a strong, trusting relationship with our daughter, making her feel safe, secure and valued. When our daughter first started, she experienced separation anxiety, but Harri was so understanding and supportive, working closely with us to help build her confidence and make the transition as smooth as possible. She also worked alongside us during potty training, providing consistency, encouragement and reassurance, which made a huge difference.
The activities Harri plans are always creative, engaging and thoughtfully prepared. There is always something new, often linked to the seasons, celebrations or topics that spark the children's curiosity. She takes the time to tailor activities to our daughter's interests, age and stage of development, ensuring she is continually learning while having lots of fun. It is clear that every activity has a purpose and supports her development across a range of skills.
Harri encourages outdoor play and exploration, making excellent use of her garden and helping the children develop an appreciation of nature and the world around them. She also regularly takes the children to toddler groups and community activities, giving them valuable opportunities to socialise, build friendships and develop confidence in different environments.
We are always impressed by the wonderful range of toys, books and learning resources available in Harri's home. Despite caring for children of different ages, she expertly adapts activities so that each child is appropriately challenged and supported. Our daughter has flourished in her care, and we have seen enormous progress in her confidence, communication, independence and overall development over the past two years.
Harri also promotes healthy habits by providing nutritious, balanced meals and snacks, encouraging children to try a variety of healthy foods in a positive and relaxed environment. It is reassuring to know that our daughter is cared for so well in every aspect of her day.
Communication with parents is outstanding. Harri sends regular photographs and detailed daily updates, allowing us to share in our daughter's experiences and understand what she has been learning each day. This gives us complete peace of mind and demonstrates how much she values working in partnership with families.
Above all, Harri is trustworthy, professional, nurturing and genuinely passionate about providing the very best care and learning opportunities for every child. She consistently goes above and beyond, and it is clear how much she cares about helping children thrive. Thanks to Harri, our daughter has developed into a happy, confident and curious little girl who is well prepared for her next stage of learning.
We will always be incredibly grateful for everything Harri has done for our daughter and our family. Our daughter will miss her very much, and so will we. We feel extremely fortunate to have found such an outstanding childminder and would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for the highest standard of childcare.
Amanda has been great from the moment we met her. She is prompt, professional and amazing with the kids. We have 3 and she handles them like a pro, with nothing being too much hassle at all. I would highly recommend Amanda to anybody who wants sitting for their children from somebody who genuinely cares.
I highly recommend Shivani as a wonderful childminder. From my experience as a mother, I find her to be very positive and comforting. Since my daughter is bilingual and has a speech delay, she has her own sessions at preschool. I’ve seen how comfortable and confident my daughter feels around Shivani, able to communicate and express herself beautifully. I also feel very at ease with her communication with me, as she pays attention to little details to ensure my daughter is happy during her sessions. I truly appreciate Shivani’s supportive and understanding nature, always following through on her promises. This truly reassures me as a mum and makes me happy to see my daughter flourish.
Leaving Monika was much harder than we ever expected because she became such a special part of our son's life. From the very beginning, she welcomed him with so much love, kindness, and patience that he always felt safe, happy, and excited to see her. As parents, there is no greater comfort than knowing your child is loved and cared for as if they were family. We will always be grateful for everything Monika has done for our little boy. She has the biggest heart, and anyone lucky enough to have their child in her care will know exactly what we mean. Thank you, Monika, for all the beautiful memories. We will never forget you. ❤️
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder for my daughter. Thank you for loving and caring for her as if she were your own. Knowing she was safe, happy, and genuinely looked after gave me complete peace of mind every day.
The positive impact you’ve had on her will always be appreciated, and I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done. I would recommend you to any parent without hesitation. Thank you for being so amazing!
I am pleased to recommend Shabana as a nanny. She is professional, reliable, and trustworthy, and consistently provides a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for children. She demonstrates excellent communication skills, patience, and dedication, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family seeking high-quality childcare.
Mery watched my 2.5-year-old daughter during a work-related trip to London. She handled 8-hour shifts with ease and kept us updated throughout the day. We appreciated her initiative in taking my daughter to a zoo and museum. We will reach out to her again when we stay in London.
Sandra was wonderful. Looked after our 20month old at short notice for a wedding and he had a great time. She kept us well updated through the day and was extremely organised. Would highly recommend using Sandra.
Amanda has been doing ad hoc babysitting for us for the last few months and has been brilliant with our little boy. She has been really reliable from the start, knows what she's doing with babies and kids, really friendly and couldn't really ask for much more! Would highly recommend Amanda to other families.
I highly recommend this childminder. She is kind, caring, and professional, and always creates a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for the children. My child enjoys spending time with her and has grown in confidence and development. It’s reassuring to know my child is in such capable and loving hands.
I needed some cover on the weekend for my daughter and Simone responded really quickly. She was so helpful and explained a bit about herself. My daughter had a really good time and felt at ease straight away. throughout the whole time Simone was quick to respond and I felt really confident my daughter would have a great time and be in safe hands.

I wholeheartedly recommend Monika. She looked after my son, Oliwier, a few years ago and played a huge role in helping to channel his boundless energy; he really started listening well when she was around, and I am so grateful to her for that. Two years ago, we trusted Monika again to care for my daughter, and I was very happy with that experience as well. Monika strongly supports children's development, provides plenty of engaging activities, and teaches them responsibility. The children also spend a lot of time outdoors. I recommend her with all my heart—you certainly won't be disappointed. ❤️
Ariana has been with our family for over a year, and she has been absolutely wonderful with our son. He is always calm, happy, and comfortable when he is with her. Ariana takes him for walks, plays with him, feeds him, and gives him plenty of care and attention. We highly recommend Ariana to any family looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy nanny.

Fiona started working with our family when our baby was just three weeks old, and we have now been together for over a year. She has been caring, reliable, and wonderful with our son from the very beginning. He is always so happy and excited to see Fiona whenever she comes to look after him, which says everything about the special bond they have built. We are truly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a kind and trustworthy nanny.

I had arranged with Sophie a week in advance to look after my toddler so we can go to the Nick Cave gig. I messaged her the previous afternoon to confirm details, and chased the morning after and she just never replied. We ended up having to sell our concert tickets very cheaply and we stayed at home. We were waiting all year for this concert!
Samiya is now our family and that alone says it all. We cannot begin to thank Samiya and her team enough for the exceptional care they have given our boys (now 4 and about to start school) and our 1 year old who has been there since he was 6 months. The setting is like a nursery with different ages but with the intimacy and care of a childminder. Samiya and the team have taught the boys everything alongside us and are hot on manners- there isn’t a single child there who isn’t coming out being kind and well mannered. They have patience of saints, they take the children on educational trips and are always getting them out into nature. Not only that but all of the children who are about to start school can already do carpet time, are regulars at the library and all love books. They can pay attention for much longer periods than I’ve seen other children of the same age. I could write pages and pages about the incredible care and we rave about her to everybody!
