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.
My son went to Marta’s setting prior to starting Pre School, he absolutely loved it and so did we! Marta was always lovely and friendly, along with her team and they will be missed! They were always willing to help and always listened.
Marta has got a perfect set up in her home for the children to have lots of their own space both inside and out. They are constantly doing lovely imaginative play and crafts, which were sent home for us to enjoy. Every day is well planned to get the most out of all the children and most importantly for them to have fun and make great friends. Thank you Marta 🫶🏻
100% recommend.
My little boy Lennie is completely obsessed with Salma. Some days I’m fairly sure I’ve been bumped down to second place, and honestly, that’s exactly what you want from the person looking after your tiny human all week.
She’s warm, caring and clearly adores him. Every day they’re doing brilliant activities that have done wonders for his development. His 15-month-old energy has somewhere productive to go, which means he comes home happy, fulfilled and ready for some chill time after a busy day.
He doesn’t even glance back at me at drop-off which is equal parts reassuring and mildly upsetting in the best way :) . And when I collect him, I sometimes get the feeling he’d quite happily stay for overtime. The facilities are fantastic – clean, organised, fun and genuinely educational. It’s everything you’d hope for and more.
I get daily photo updates that I genuinely look forward to, plus a lovely little summary in his nursery book at the end of the day. He’s beautifully cared for and I trust Salma with him implicitly.
I feel incredibly lucky we found her. If Lennie could talk, I’m fairly certain he’d tell you the same. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with her – you absolutely won’t regret it.
Fay is an outstanding childminder, she is caring, kind and loving. Most importantly, Martha is so happy when she is with her. She started when she was 9 months old and since then she has started walking, saying her first words and eating well.
Fay offers a lovely environment for little ones, I’m so happy to have found such a great place for Martha. I would recommend her to anyone with a baby looking for a safe and loving environment, also offering a chance for babies to socialise and learn.

As a family we absolutely love Sarah and Andy and have done since our first visit. They were so welcoming and helped an anxious twin mum feel settled immediately. Our boys have been with them since they turned 1 (now almost 3) We chose Sarah and Andy due to having experience with twins and it was really important to us for them to have the home away from home environment. The boys absolutely love going to there and even want to visit at the weekends!! I wouldn’t hesitate with recommending them to anyone who is looking for childcare.
I cannot recommend Susan enough - such an incredibly calm, caring, kind and supportive Nanny who joined our family for two years - two years that were some of the best and most nurturing of my children's lives due to Susan’s influence and care. I will forever be grateful for all the help, support and care shown to our children during Susan’s time within our family. As a nanny Susan helped shape our little girl in her formative years and guide our eldest as he began to navigate school. We will
forever remember her impact and her kind, fair and professional Nanny support.
From proactive support with the children’s days to fun and engaging activities and attention to our family ways of living, eating, learning etc and our values Susan was extremely adaptable and became an integral part of our family life! The children adored her and still do and that trust and happiness from the children was so important.
For us as another milestone came along in our family, it was time for a change in all our lives and our childcare arrangements but I would recommend Susan wholeheartedly as a Nanny.
She is truly an exceptional tutor! She works with my toddler and has been absolutely incredible from day one. She is warm, kind, patient, and has built such a beautiful connection with my child. Because of the strong bond they’ve developed, my child is always excited and eager for their speech and language, English, and math lessons.
The progress has been amazing. My child has learned to read, can clearly communicate her wants and needs, and has grown so much in confidence. It’s been such a joy to watch!
What really sets her apart is how thoughtfully she plans each lesson. She brings engaging props and toys, making learning fun, interactive, and perfectly suited for young children. Her dedication, creativity, and genuine care truly shine through in everything she does.
I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has made such a positive impact on our family, and we feel so lucky to have found her!
Yasmin is such an incredible childminder, and we truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the very beginning, she created such a safe, warm, and trustworthy environment that made settling our son in so easy and completely put my mind at ease. Knowing he is in her care gives us total peace of mind.
Our son absolutely loves going there every day. Yasmin is always active and engaged with the children, taking them out to playgroups, exploring different parks, visiting museums, or discovering something new and exciting, even plane watching! There is always something fun and enriching planned.
Even when they are at home, the days are full of activities. From arts and crafts to singing, and when the weather allows, messy play and even swimming during summer. The children are constantly learning, exploring, and having fun. It’s clear how much thought, care, and love Yasmin puts into everything she does.
We are so incredibly grateful for all her hard work, dedication, and the genuine love she shows our son. Thanks to Yasmin, our little boy started walking unaided and even began talking. Milestones we will always be thankful for her support with. We honestly cannot express how grateful we are. Thank you, Yasmin, for everything you do and for all the support showed us during this tough time!

Our little boy started with Yasmin in September 2025,She does so many activities with the children going to different playgroups/ parks and lots more, she also does lots of arts and crafts with the children making lots of lovely keep sakes and celebrating many different times of year. You can see how much she cares for the children aswell as teaching them new skills. Our little boy has settled with her so well he loves Yasmin & her little girl most days he doesn’t want to leave. Very grateful and feel lucky to have such a wonderful childminder.

My daughter has come on so much we truly couldn’t be happier with the setting. The progress she has made has been amazing to see. She is growing in confidence every day, learning so much, and really enjoys being with her peers and Jackie.
The environment is warm, welcoming and supportive, and it really shows in how settled and happy she is. A special mention to Jackie, who is absolutely fantastic. She is caring, attentive and clearly passionate about what she does. It gives me so much reassurance knowing my daughter is in such a great place.
Kassie has been a complete godsend for my two children - she has babysat and occasionally nannied my boy from when he was about six months - 3.5 years, and my daughter from about 3 months old, when I wasn’t comfortable leaving her with anyone else.
She’s wonderful with children. She’s warm and funny and fun. She’s calm and reassuring with us, laid back and flexible. Both of them absolutely love her and we relax whenever they’re with her, knowing that they’re having the time of their lives.
We hope that we have her in our lives for a long time: she’s very wise when it comes to raising babies, and has been a lovely influence on how we think about things. She’s also a great resource for everything child related going on in the area. A true gem!
My son has been with Munira since he was one year old, and he is now just over three. I first met Munira when I would see her dropping off the children in her care at school while I was dropping off my older children.
Munira has been absolutely wonderful with my son – he truly adores her. He loves going to her setting, which offers such a fantastic variety of toys, a lovely large garden, and of course, his friends. During his time with her, he has learned so much and grown in confidence.
Munira is always very active with the children, both indoors and outdoors, and she provides a warm, engaging environment. My son especially loves her cooking (which is impressive as he can be quite a fussy eater!).
She is extremely kind, reliable, and supportive, and always willing to go the extra mile for the children in her care. I would 100% recommend Munira to anyone looking for someone caring, trustworthy, and dedicated to their child’s wellbeing.
Our daughter attended Libby & Angie for 2 years, we could not have asked for more amazing care. Our daughter was loved for and cared for as there own since the moment she settled in. She was always so happy and excited to go and bursting with happiness when we picked her up, demonstrating how much love and fun she had. Libby and ange are always putting on new activities to keep them
Occupied and help develop there skills. They communicated well to us and gave great updates keeping us in the loop. We are so grateful we found Libby and ange they helped shape the happy fun child we have and gave her so much love and attention. They were very supportive with her allergens and health risks and took great care with her and supported us during tough times. We were extremely sad to leave the setting and would of loved to have stayed as long as we could however had to move I just wish we could move them with us every child deserves Libby and ange in thee life
Our Son Harry was with Happy Childcare for many years and they were tremendous, we cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thank you so much for the years of love and support that you gave us all, we will always cherish the time we spent together and getting to know you and your family has been a gift.
You treated us like family and we will forever be grateful for you all, thank you.

Truly Exceptional Nanny & an Irreplaceable Part of our Family!
Shedeen has been an extraordinary nanny to our three children for almost two years, and she has become an essential part of our family life. The children were 6 years old (eldest) and 4 year old twins, when she first started. She is a true professional: consistently punctual, impeccably organised, and able to manage every aspect of the children’s routine with complete confidence and care. From school pick‑ups, dinner, baths, homework, laundry, and after‑school activities, she handles everything seamlessly, giving us total peace of mind.
Her connection with the children is remarkable. They absolutely adore her, they run to her for cuddles, listen to her, eat beautifully for her, and follow her routines with ease. Her calm, steady presence means even the biggest tantrum dissolves quickly, and she always manages to bring the laughter back. She has that rare blend of warmth, intuition, and gentle authority that you simply cannot teach.
Her cooking is a hit (healthy balanced meals), her time management is flawless, and her first‑aid training has been invaluable. She has spotted early signs of allergies and fevers before they became serious, and we trust her judgement completely. She treats our children as if they were her own, and the love and security they feel with her is unmistakable. Her communication skills is fantastic.
As a busy working couple, she even helps us keep the household running — picking up groceries when we run out and stepping in before we even realise we need something. We cannot fault her in any way. Her support has been invaluable, and we are so grateful for her years with us. We truly miss her sorely.
We would welcome Shedeen back in a heartbeat. She is an exceptional nanny and a remarkable human being, and any family fortunate enough to have her will quickly realise what a treasure she is!!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter has received from nanny k!
My daughter is always excited to go each morning and comes home full of stories about the fun activities, crafts and games she’s enjoyed. It’s clear how much thought and effort goes into planning engaging days that support learning, creativity and social development.
What truly stands out is the genuine care, patience and kindness shown every single day. Knowing my daughter is so well looked after gives us complete peace of mind. We’ve seen her confidence grow so much, and we’re incredibly grateful.
We would highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, caring and dedicated childminder.

My daughter Ivana has been with Zainab and her team since she was 9 months old, and she is now 2. She really enjoys going there every day—always happy and excited!
The team is incredibly flexible and attentive, making both the children and parents feel comfortable. We especially love their excellent service, the nutritious and tasty food, and the regular updates with photos, which let us see how much fun she’s having throughout the day.
I was recently made redundant from my company, but I will surely come back to Zainab and her team once I secure another job. We couldn’t be happier with the care, attention, and love Ivana receives, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, supportive, and professional environment for their little ones
Lisa has a home from home setting where all the children feel cared for and loved, my LO has come on leaps and bounds and exceeded all milestone requirements since starting with lisa in April 2025! I cannot recommend lisa enough she has fantastic communication and your child will thrive!
Karla was an absolute life-saver for us when we needed a sitter on short notice. It was the first time we used a babysitter, so I was nervous but Karla was absolutely wonderful and our (usually shy) son just loved her!
Karla took Alden for a walk by the river and kept us up to date with pics. She also fed him lunch and did an amazing job - so patient, and so positive and encouraging with every bite. We are super impressed, she really went the extra mile (eg. When we were upstairs changing a nappy, she tidied the toys back into the toy basket because we off-handedly mentioned that Alden likes unpacking the toy basket).
We will absolutely ask her to sit for us again.
