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.
Claire went above all expectations with my little boy making him feel valued,loved and comfortable every day. Having a child with an SEN can be challenging but we where helped every step of the way!
If you want a safe environment where your child will thrive mentally, emotionally and academically this is the place for you!
Nothing short of incredible, my boy has now left to start at a specialist setting but my next baby will be starting in a years time and I already am excited to see his progress with Claire.
A huge thankyou from myself and Tom.
We honestly couldn’t be happier with Nurture and Grow Childcare. Our little one has been here for two years, and it has been such a wonderful place for them to learn, grow, and feel supported every single day.
The environment is so warm and welcoming, it's of work was done earlier in the year to update the space and the garden and you can tell how much thought and care goes into making it a safe, happy space for the children. The food provided is fantastic too, healthy, varied, and something our child always looks forward to. Special mention to Cheff Charlie who does an amazing job!
What really makes the nursery so special are the relationships. Our child absolutely loves the practitioners and has built such lovely bonds with them. Helen feels like part of the family, she knows our child so well, and the support and care she gives is beyond anything we could have hoped for.
We’ve also seen how much our child has developed with their guidance. Their confidence, independence, and learning have all flourished thanks to the encouragement and dedication of the staff.
We are so grateful to the whole team at Nurture and Grow — it really is a place where children can thrive.
My son went to the nursery for a full year. He enjoyed spending time with Carmon and Ellie from the nursery more than my wife and I. They looked after time just like their own child and identified his SLT requirements and helped us all the way through to his transition to school. He was very sad to graduate and i would 100% recommend this place.

Our kids love it when Miri looks after them, she always makes them laugh! She is great with the 3 kids (ages 2, 7 and 9), happy to help with any part of their routine, and they feel very comfortable with her. She is quick to respond, reliable, and organised. We have no problem recommending her to other families.
Billy is a very experienced childcare professional. He is fun to work with and my children love spending time with him. His childcare knowledge and experience have totally transformed our lives in such a positive way. We are now at school early for drop off and now have great routines in place for bedtimes too. I would not hesitate to recommend Billy for any aspect of childcare. Thank you!
Our son was just a baby when he joined Liz's care and was with her until he nearly turned 5 to go to school. Her open communication and reassuring way gave us confidence from day one and it was clear from the start that he absolutely loved her. Liz has provided a fantastic stimulating and educational setting for our child - both at home and within the local community - she makes everyday meaningful. It is clear how much she invests in the children she looks after, our son has thrived in every way and we know it is due to the learning opportunities, social activities and routine that she has provided. I love hearing him singing new songs he's learnt and telling me about the fun activities he's been playing with his friends and his Lizzie. Liz's care extended far beyond duty, she has always been there for us in moments of emergency, even helping with school pick-ups for our older son who also adores her. She has given our children memories we'll treasure forever. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a childminder who blends professionalism with deep compassion and care.
Our son joined Janette 4 and a bit years ago, when he was just 9 months old. Fast forward to now and he is in his last week with her about to start school!
It's been a fantastic and nurturing environment for him and he has thrived.
Would reccomend Janette to anyone in the local area.

I couldn’t ask for a better childminder. From the very first day, my child felt at home and settled so quickly. Jos is warm and welcoming, and she provides a safe, nurturing environment full of fun activities that keep the children engaged and learning every day.
My son gets individual attention and care that supports their development. The daily updates and photos mean I always feel included in their day, and it’s clear how much thought and effort goes into planning activities, whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor play or trips out.
The bond my son has built here is so lovely. He comes home happy, confident, and excited to go back the next day.
Hayley is the best! As first time parents, we were a bit anxious of having another person looking after our little girl, but from the first time we met Hayley, our daughter immediately was comfortable around her. We knew from the start that we made the right choice as Hayley goes above and beyond in taking care of our daughter. Hayley plans activities and our daughter always has the best time with her. She is highly reliable and adaptable.
Can't recommend Hayley enough! You can have peace of mind knowing that your child is well taken care of.
We had an outstanding experience with Bianca and would wholeheartedly recommend her as a nanny/babysitter. Bianca looked after my daughter 3 days a week while I was working from home when my daughter was 4-6 months old. Bianca was kind, patient, gentle, and very playful with my daughter, who loved spending time with her. Bianca was great to work with - she was punctual, followed our preferences, and a great communicator. Can't say enough positive things about her!
Pavlina is looking since five months on Saturdays after our 3-years-old daughter Grace. From the start, we noticed how quickly Pavlina picked up Grace’s routines/ways of thinking and bonded with her. Grace is a big fan of being outdoors, and she totally enjoys the creative outdoor play and having fun with Pavlina at playgrounds, gardens and the city centre. Pavlina is always professional, organised and attentive, ensuring that Grace has the right nutrition and clothes, and that she practises her latest skills/develops new ones. We feel very lucky to have Pavlina’s help.
Yasmin and Noreen were fantastic with our little girl, at the start my daughter had seperation anxiety and struggled being away from me or my partner but Yasmin and Noreen were amazing with her (and reassuring us!). Within a short period of time my daughter was all smiles and excitement when we arrived to Yasmin's house in the morning. Every time we collected our daughter she was happy as anything. I would highly recommend Yasmin she has been nothing short of amazing.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Natalie (or Nat Nat as the children like to call her!). Natalie is such a kind, caring, and reliable childminder who has become a very important person in our little boys life.
From the very first day, I knew Natalie would be the person to look after our son as she creates such a warm and nurturing environment.
Natalie is always taking the children out on adventures, whether this be to toddler clubs, parks, library, woods, farms etc.
Each day is filled with creative activities, outdoor play, and thoughtful routines. Our son was always excited to go to Nat Nats to see his friends and to go on a new adventure.
Natalie would always update us throughout the days with photos to show us what they had been up too. This was always lovely and reassuring whilst being at work! It’s clear she genuinely cares for each child as if they were her own.
We’ve seen such positive development in our son’s confidence, social skills, and independence, and we know a big part of that is all thanks to Natalie.
We are so sad that our little boys time has come to an end with not only Nat Nat but her lovely family too (including sonny boy the most loving dog who is adored by all the children!!).
We would 110% recommend Natalie to anyone who is in need of a childminder as she is truly amazing.
Thanks for everything Natalie! x
Racheal has been helping us this summer and is amazing with both our children, aged 1 and 7 who have taken such a shine to her, I can’t recommend her highly enough. Both her and her two lovely girls have fitted into our daily lives so well and brought help and happiness to us all, we will be very sad to see her go. Racheal is so naturally kind and loving to the children, completely professional in every way and we totally trust her with both them and our home. You will be lucky to have her work with your family, you could not ask for better!

My son has been in her care for two years, and the progress he has made under her guidance has been incredible. She has created such a warm and supportive environment where he has grown in confidence, independence, and curiosity.
One of the many things we are grateful for is how she encouraged him with sensory play. It was never something he naturally gravitated towards, but through her patience and creativity he now enjoys it, a skill that has helped his development in so many other areas too.
Elaine has a real gift for balancing fun with learning. From outings to the zoo and park to creative activities, she has supported his social, emotional, and cognitive growth every step of the way. Her thoughtful updates always reassured me that he was thriving in her care.
We are so thankful for the love, dedication, and support Elaine has shown. She is very experienced and has been an important part of my son’s early years, and we couldn’t have asked for a better childminder.
We hired Emma to care for our newly born twin babies, primarily during nights, for their first couple of months. She was an absolute godsend! We were struggling to manage as first time parents and Emma stepped in and offered her friendly, professional expertise.
During her time with us, Emma assisted in setting a smooth night routine for the twins and managed to settle them with ease. Additional to this, Emma also worked some day shifts, providing excellent care and developmental activities to suit their age and enabling them to meet their milestones. The twins absolutely loved Emma.
Emma is very passionate about her role and is very knowledgable and professional. We cannot recommend Emma highly enough.
Miha is an incredibly caring, warm and friendly person who has looked after our son from the age of 5 months. She has created a home from home environment for the children in her care which made our son, and us, feel very settled and calm knowing how happy the other children were around him. Miha has a routine for the children which works well to provide stability but the great thing is that every day she takes the children to local parks, playgroups and outings that provide fresh air and new environments for them to learn.
We came to Miha through a local recommendation and it is sad that we are moving away from the area - otherwise we would love for Miha to continue caring for our son up until school age. She is everything you could wish for in terms of someone caring for your child - open, communicative, cares deeply and builds such strong bonds with the children. They are like their own family and it makes us feel comforted knowing how happy our son is with her. We are gutted to be leaving (moving away for more space) and would recommend anybody to contact Miha for childminding services, and become an extended family!
We found Doreen at short notice for some extra help for a couple of weeks. My 18 month old can be a bit unsure of new people, so I was a bit tentative of having someone new for such a short time. I needn't have worried at all. Doreen was brilliant. She was super organised and clear right from the start, which was very helpful - meeting first and bringing all her documents etc. She is very experienced and instinctively knew how to put my daughter at ease. We had smooth handovers from the very first morning, and my little one always came home happy, having been off for various trips to the playground/library/museum etc. She also kept me updated during the day. I would recommend Doreen without hesitation.

My son has had a wonderful experience in Marie’s care, he enjoys all of the fun activities and outings that they go on as well as playing with the other children. Marie has always been really accommodating and flexible with slight changes to our work schedules and childcare needs and keeps in regular communication. Marie and her family are warm and friendly and her home is very clean and tidy with a lovely big garden for the children to play in, she creates a lovely home from home setting for children to play and feel comfortable in.
