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.
Temi was truly sent to me by God. At the time, I was incredibly stressed because I had to find a childminder at the last minute for my 3 month old daughter, and it felt almost impossible.
The same day, I came across Temi. I visited her home, and from the moment we met, she made us feel so welcome. Seeing how kind and caring she was with my daughter immediately gave me peace of mind.
Temi is no longer just a childminder to me she has become like a sister I never had. She has supported me so much during my journey as a new mum. Knowing that my daughter is with her while I’m at work gives me complete peace of mind. They play together, sing, eat, and have so much fun. My daughter absolutely loves spending time with her.
Temi is so gentle, loving, and patient with my daughter that when I come to pick her up, she often doesn’t even want to leave!
I could go on and on about how amazing Temi is, but I wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for someone they can truly trust. She isn’t just a wonderful childminder she is an angel who genuinely cares for children and supports mothers when they need it most. With Temi, you can leave your child knowing they are safe, loved, and cared for, and that peace of mind is priceless.

Molly had my two boys aged 8 and 10 years for an evening and they had a really lovely time.
She has great listening skills and spent the eve chatting away to them playing board games and talking through their interests and hobbies. They are looking forward to the next time.
We have been with Sasha since 2018, and she has cared for all three of our children. They have all been incredibly happy with her, both in full-day care and before and after-school care.
Sasha provides a warm, caring, and nurturing environment where the children feel safe, supported, and have so much fun. She plans a fantastic variety of activities, including crafts, music, trips to Washbrooks Farm, walks in the woods, visits to Ditchling Common, and lots of different play parks.
Our youngest starts school this September, but will continue with Sasha for before and after-school care because we know she'll be in the best hands.
We are so grateful for everything Sasha has done for our family over the years and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful childminder.
Katie came to help babysit whilst we were at a wedding. It's the first time we'd properly had someone look after our daughter for more than a couple of hours, and Katie was wonderful. She entertained and helped feed our baby in the day, and in the evening was attentive at watching the baby monitor. Would recommend!
We have been so lucky to have Rachel as our childminder. Our son has loved his time spent with her. She is such a calming and caring person who helped him learn about friendships, safety and behavioural boundaries in such a kind and consistent way.
Her setting is fantastic with a covered outdoor play space in her garden as well as her amazing allotment which my son loved going to.
I would wish that every child could have such a fantastic childminder so if you are looking for someone who will deeply care for your child, you’ve found her.
We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful childminder, Tarin. She is caring, patient, and truly treats the children as if they were her own. My daughter always feels happy, safe, and excited to go, which gives me complete peace of mind.
She provides a warm, welcoming environment with plenty of fun and educational activities that have really helped my child’s development and confidence.
I highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dedicated. Thank you for all the love, care, and support you give to our daughter, we really appreciate everything you do!
I have used Zebra Tots for both of my boys and honestly couldn’t be happier. My youngest has absolutely loved his time with Zehra and her amazing team. His speech has come on so much, along with his confidence and social skills. He’s made so many friends and there were days when he didn’t even want to come home, which says it all!
One thing I really appreciated was the communication. I was always kept up to date and knew what he’d been up to. He loved all the different activities and was always excited to tell me about his day. I also really liked that they have a good routine with things like story time, outdoor play, painting, and lots of other fun activities. It’s been lovely to see how these activities have helped prepare him for school and build his confidence.
I would highly recommend Zebra Tots to any parent. It really does feel like a home away from home. Zehra is so warm and welcoming, and I always knew my son would be safe, well looked after, and well fed! The fact that I chose Zebra Tots for both of my boys says everything about how much I trust Zehra and her team.
Nicola has been nothing short of incredible with our son, and we genuinely can’t believe how quickly the last two years have flown by. As a family, we are absolutely gutted that it’s time for him to move on.
From our very first meeting, Nicola made us feel completely at ease. Her home is warm, welcoming, and safe, and it’s immediately obvious how much love, care, and dedication she gives to every child she looks after.
Our son absolutely adores Nicola. Every evening he asks if he’s going to Nicola’s the next day, which says everything about how happy and settled he has been. She plans a wonderful variety of activities, from playgroups and soft play to trips to the park and other local outings, ensuring every day is fun, engaging, and enriching.
Nicola also puts so much thought into helping the children learn and develop. They regularly enjoy arts and crafts, sensory activities, and experiences you would typically expect from a nursery, leaving us with a fridge full of treasured artwork and special memories. She even made sure the children had a lovely graduation celebration and sent us some great photos, which meant so much to us.
Returning to work after maternity leave felt so much easier because we knew our son was in the best possible hands. Nicola gave us complete peace of mind every single day and always made sure to give us updates and photos and that is something we will always be grateful for.
If we were lucky enough to have another baby, Nicola would be the first person we’d contact to secure a place. We truly couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is an exceptional childminder and has played such an important role in our son’s early years.
Thank you, Nicola, for everything you’ve done for our family. We will miss you so much.

Temnit was the first babysitter we had for our five month old daughter - we were keen to find someone calm, relaxed, and responsible. Temnit is all those things and more! Even coming just once or twice a week, she immediately built a wonderful relationship with our daughter, and we both really trusted her judgement and guidance. In particular she helped us with improving sleep (both daytime and nighttime). She also helped build our confidence as parents, which was so valuable and appreciated.

Michelle is the most patient, caring, and loving child minder I've had the pleasure to help with my babies as a full time working mum. All three of my children have been incredibly lucky to have had Michelle taking care of them. She never stops, they are always doing something, be it playing in the park to picnics and story time. We have taken such a shine to her, she will always be part of our family. My daughters now grown, still love seeing Michelle and only have fond memories of the time she spent with them. I can't praise Michelle enough. I only wish there were more like her in the industry.
My son was with Sam from 18 months until he was 3 and we both loved it. Within a few weeks he didn’t want to leave. I’d come and pick him up and he’d run back inside!
It’s such a gift to leave your child somewhere and know you can relax and they’ll have a great time.
Sam takes them out a lot, I’d get pictures of him during the day along with what he ate (he ate food at hers that he would eat with me) and when.
Not to mention what a close knit, adorable group of besties he made there.
It was hard to leave and we both miss Sam bunches.
Thank you for taking such great care of my baby, Sam.

From the very beginning, she has been an incredible childminder for my twin boys. As a parent, it gives me so much peace of mind knowing they are in such caring and capable hands.
She is attentive, patient, and genuinely cares for their wellbeing. She ensures they are well-fed, changed when needed, and cared for with so much love and kindness. Beyond meeting their daily needs, I’ve been impressed by how much they’ve learned while spending time with her. They’ve picked up their ABCs, learned to say “please” and “thank you,” and continue to develop good habits and manners under her care.
One thing I particularly appreciate is her faith and the values she lives by. It shines through in the way she treats my children with compassion, integrity, and genuine love.
She is also very reliable and follows instructions carefully. Whenever I provide a timetable or routine for the boys, she sticks to it, which has been incredibly reassuring.
Perhaps the biggest testament to the wonderful relationship she’s built with them is how much they adore her. They are always excited to see her, and when it’s time for her to leave, they often become upset because they enjoy being with her so much. Seeing how comfortable, happy, and secure they feel around her speaks volumes about the care she provides.
I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely loving childminder. She has been a true blessing to our family, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything she has done for our boys.
We were so lucky to have such a wonderful childminder for our son. She was always kind, caring, and incredibly accommodating. Even when we needed childcare at the last minute, she always did her best to help, which made such a big difference to our family.
Our son loved spending time with her and always enjoyed the delicious Asian home-cooked meals she prepared. It was so reassuring to know he was happy, well looked after, and cared for like one of her own.
We can't thank her enough and would happily recommend her to any family looking for a reliable, flexible, and caring childminder.😊❤️
Faye came and helped look after our full-of-energy 19 month old boy (occasionally also his 1 and 2 year old cousins), while we were on holiday with our family in Devon for a week. She was truly wonderful! Our son took to her immediately. She'd arrive with a marvellous bag of games and toys and an incredible repertoire of songs. They'd sit on the lawn and be thoroughly entertained for hours. She always made sure he had plenty of suncream on, water to drink and made him yummy lunches. After two days, he'd excitedly chime, "Faye! Faye!" when he saw her car drive up. She was a lovely presence in the house and we were all very grateful for her help and support!

Both of my children went to Sasha from 1 year old and have thrived in her warm and loving setting.
She’s a brilliant childminder, the children respect her and enjoy their time with her. She often takes them out on trips to Washbrooks farm or Ditchling common and I love how much time they spend outside in nature.
Sasha does a lot of creative activities with them too, drawing, painting etc and they love playing with all the musical instruments.
Sasha’s home is a safe and nurturing setting that feels like a home away from home for the kids.
Sasha now also drops off and collects my eldest son from school once a week which is really useful as a working parent. At 6 years old he still loves his time with Sasha.
We are all so pleased to have found Sasha I would recommend her to anyone who wants a nurturing setting that encourages independence and being in nature!
Kath has done school pick up of my son since Reception. We never had any issues with her care. She never missed any pick ups and in an emergency if she couldn't she always arranged a trusted back up. My son loved her setting and we are so thankful for her service. Truly lovely and caring.
My daughter started just after her 1st birthday. The settling-in period was great lots of communication, and taking it at my child’s pace so it didn’t feel rushed, like we were just a number.
My daughter also has a CMPA dairy-free allergy. This has never been an issue no reaction or cross-contamination, which was a big fear of mine.
The daily diary is always filled in with details on food, naps, and what they got up to. I love reading this every day.
The staff all understand and are willing to work around her routine for example, if she’d had a bad night or woke up early, they’ll put her down for a nap earlier.
She has become so confident and chatty, and I can truly say it’s because of their hard work. She’s formed a great
bond with the staff, and it truly feels like a home away from home.
I don’t have any negative comments. I’d recommend this to any family who is anxious and wants that home

Choosing 365 Childcare for our son, has been one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents. Also our twins will soon start with them, we cannot wait. :)
From the very first day, the team welcomed him with kindness, patience, and genuine care.Over the past year, we have watched him grow in confidence, improve his listening skills and develop new abilities. The progress he has made has been incredible, and we truly believe it is thanks to the dedication, encouragement, and nurturing environment that 365 Childcare provides.
As parents, we have always felt reassured knowing Fabian is in such safe, loving, and capable hands. The staff are professional, caring, and always keep us informed, making us feel like true partners in our child’s development. They treat every child as an individual and genuinely care about helping them learn, grow, and thrive.
We are so grateful to have found 365 Childcare and are delighted that will continue with them until he starts school. We recommend them wholeheartedly to any parent looking for a childcare setting where their child will be loved, supported, encouraged, and given the very best start in life.
Thank you, 365 Childcare, for everything you do. You have made such a positive difference to our son and to our family, and we will always be grateful.
I highly recommend Mamta as an exceptional childminder. She cared for my 3 year old daughter, from 9 months of age.
Mamta is kind, caring, and deeply committed to the well-being and development of the children she looks after. She creates a warm, stimulating, and safe environment, regularly organizing engaging and educational activities. My child's speech and confidence excelled under her care, She always kept us well informed about daily routines, we love seeing pictures she sends through out the day.
Mamta is entirely trustworthy, punctual, and flexible. She will be an invaluable asset to any family seeking a dedicated childcare provider.
