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 have been incredibly fortunate to have had Charlotte look after our youngest child before he transitioned into full-time school. Across our experience with raising two children, we have employed three different childminders in total, and Charlotte was by a wide margin the absolute best.
Her home features top-quality facilities that provide a safe, clean, and highly stimulating environment for children. The care she delivers is deeply supportive, balancing emotional well-being with excellent early-learning activities that gave our son a wonderful head start.
The standard of nutrition in her setting is also exemplary. The meals she prepares are superb, offering an incredible variety of healthy, fresh food that often left me wishing I could eat alongside them!
In addition to the indoor environment, Charlotte places a fantastic emphasis on playtime and outdoor adventures. She frequently takes the children to local parks and recreational areas. A brilliant highlight of her service is that trips to premium local attractions, including Puxton Park, are fully included as part of her childcare package.
We cannot recommend Charlotte highly enough. She sets the gold standard for childminding, and any family would be incredibly fortunate to secure a place for their child in her care.
My 2 year old joined Yvette in January and he has come on leaps and bounds. His speech is now amazing. He’s so confident and sociable, as she’s always out with the children. She always has activities planned every day. My 4 year old started with her for the last term and he has absolutely loved it. She has been doing learning activities with him and I get him ready for school. Her home is lovely, my children love going there. She’s very flexible and easy going. She always sends updates during the day. Highly recommend!
My child attended for two years and we have been very happy with the care provided. They were always well cared for, had lots of fun and enjoyed every day. Communication was always great, and we always felt reassured that our child was happy and well looked after. We would highly recommend Charlotte
My daughter started at Nish last year summer when she was 10 months old. There were some crying but Nish and her team always gave her cuddles, which helped her make feel comfortable and calm. I am aware that she is shy, but I am sure she enjoys the settings. Always creative, but also she lets children to be children and doesn’t overload them with too much activities and sensory plays. They are playing happily and freely which I am really happy about. I grown up in the 80s and we were playing, and we learnt soo much from plays and from each others… Nish and her team always making sure that my daughter is changed, she is always in clean clothes. I really don’t mind when her clothes get dirty with food or paint… Also, I can’t thank her enough for being always so flexible and even in last minute she is always been able to change the setting times for my request. Amazing team!!!
What an incredible childminder Jenny is, I can't rate her highly enough. She's taken such good care of our youngest from when he was 1 until now, when he's 5. Still he asks to go to Jenny's after school and during holidays. I've recommended her to friends and family alike.
Jenny always goes above and beyond to ensure that the kids have fun activities, from bouncing castles in the community centre, to arts and crafts, paddling pools, trips to the park, trips to city farms, allotments, and days out across London (to name but a few!). She's also great on early years development: our little guy could hold a pen by the time he was three thanks to Jenny!
She is has such a good relationship with them all, and it's clear to us that our little guy loves her. She makes them feel part of her little crew, and the big kids look out for the little ones, which is lovely. He always eats so well with her too, and comes back in great humour. Jenny always sends gorgeous pictures of their days together, which helps us feel connected with what they're up to. She always makes things so easy as well, a consummate professional.
I don't know where Jenny gets her energy from but from the moment we found her we knew we were on to a wonderful thing. She's a big part of our community and I highly recommend her services.
My son has been going to Tammy full time since he was 10 months old. He is soon turning three and moving onto nursery and it has felt truly gutting to say goodbye to Tammy. She has provided such care, love and attention to my son and he has absolutely THRIVED in her care. He has loved being out of the house every single morning and the fun trips they have. He is so happy in her home, often asking on the weekend if he is going to Tammys house!! I can’t recommend her highly enough!
Shazia and her team provided a lovely small nursery environment for our daughter from 1-4.5 years. She has been really happy and confident and loves the team and other children.
The team made sure she was learning new things including to read and write, and great numeracy. They developed her passion for learning and reading, and particularly her love of being outdoors and learning about animals. She always talks of nursery and all the characters there, and will miss it, although it is clear she has become very ready for school.
We have received great updates on learning and pointers in what to do next to encourage her. She has never hesitated to leave us in the morning as she is happy to be at nursery.
I am always pleased to recommend this experienced team
We can't thank Yesim Love Laugh n Learn Childcare enough for providing such high quality care for our daughter over the last couple of years. Yesim offers a true home from home setting, where children are nurtured and are part of the family. Children have daily outings to the park and woodland area (to feed the birds, plant flowers, etc), with some additional outings to softplay or national trust sites. They also go to visit residents at the local care home. Alongside these outings, Yesim also provides activities that support more structured learning, following the EYFS. Yesim has been able to cater for our daughter's cows milk protein allergy. Her home is clean, warm and welcoming. We will miss her so much, but will be booking our girl in for future school holidays. Highly recommend for anyone who is on the search for a reliable, trusted childminder ⭐
Our daughter was looked after by her full-time when she was 8–9 months old, and she has continued to babysit for us whenever we need extra help.
She is an incredibly warm, caring and loving childminder, and we always felt completely comfortable leaving our daughter with her. She was very affectionate with her and our daughter was always happy and well cared for in her home.
She also prepared lovely home-cooked meals for her, which we really appreciated. Her rates are very reasonable for the quality of care she provides.
We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, reliable and trustworthy childminder.
My Daughter was 10months old when she started with Tammy. She had a few wobbly moments at the start but with Tammy's kind and caring nature, she soon began to settle and I could tell she was very comfortable. My shy little baby soon started to become a confident toddler and thats all down to Tammy. She teaches them, she learns everything about them and helps build their little characters through play. Every night when my daughter is in bed she has a big smile on her face and says "I go to Tammy's house tomorrow?". She loves the daily adventures and all the exciting things they do everyday!
Tammy has been like family for the last 2 year and I know my daughter is going to miss her dearly (so are we).
So my review is to say thank you, for all you have done for us ❤️ xx
Emma is a true professional and has helped our two daughters enormously with their English. She understood very quickly what each of them needed and adapted her lessons to their different levels and personalities. She is patient, kind and knows very well how to work with children. The girls have really enjoyed their lessons and we have seen a big improvement, especially in their reading and writing. We are very happy to have found her and would highly recommend her. She is worth every penny.

As always Kelly never lets us down!
We sent our daughter to Kelly when she was 1 year old until she started school and now summer break and half terms have kicked in she once again was our reliable, trusted go to.
Kelly is now supporting us during half terms and summer break as we work full time. Our daughter was so excited to spend time with Kelly and her children again! She returned to of course a group of unknown children and slotted straight back in.
Kelly send us updates with pictures and a description of what they have done, where they have gone (always out and about) and eaten. Kelly has childminder friends so there is never a shortage of friends to make!
We love Kelly and her family and am so pleased she has been able to help us during these times.
Kelly is kind, thoughtful and always has the children’s wellbeing and development at the forefront, which we appreciate. Our daughter never comes home sad or not happy with her day when at Kelly’s and always has adventures or story’s to tell me about.
I honestly can’t recommend her enough! Extremely fair priced too! 🥰😁
My daughter was with Sarah for about a year and a half before we relocated and she was great. Clearly cares a lot for the children she looks after and always has lots of fun and safe activities for them to do.
We couldn't be more grateful for the incredible care Abi provides for our son.
From day one, it was important to us to find someone who felt like a natural extension of our family while remaining completely professional, and she has struck that balance perfectly.
Our son is clearly comfortable with her, which gives us total peace of mind. She continuously encourages his learning and development, keeping him engaged through creative play and time outdoors, something we value hugely. On top of her warm and attentive care, her flexibility whenever our schedules shift has been greatly appreciated.
We truly can't recommend Abi enough!
Both of my daughters attended Christine's setting until we moved away from the area. They had a wonderful time and would often come home and tell me what they'd been up to that day: going to the park, colouring, playing in the garden or in the playroom, learning about colours, reading, painting, you name it! Their development came on in leaps and bounds. Christine and her staff would always be excited to see them each morning and my kids thought of them like family members. Highly recommend!
Monique has been working with us and our 5 month old daughter for around 1 month or so. She is great with Cleo, seems to really understand babies and their cues and has the added benefit of being a trained sleep expert - she has been very helpful in assisting us to extend napping windows and get into more of a routine.

We feel so lucky to have had Jenny recommended to us - both of our boys (now age 4 & 9) have gone to her and absolutely loved their time with her. She has a great reputation within the community and also has a great relationship with other childminders in the area.
Our youngest was most recently with Jenny full time, he absolutely loved his time with her. As well as running the childminding group at Hawksley Court (a lovely hall with safe, enclosed outside space for the children to play in and explore), she arranged visits to parks, allotments, splash pads, farms and seasonal treats such as pumpkin picking, visit from Santa.
She sends us pictures during the day so we can see what the kids are getting up to and her communication is great.
We cannot speak highly enough of Jenny, she has become a great friend and an essential part of our 'village'. She's a wonderful person and an amazing childminder.
