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 son has been with Carrie since he was 7 months old and is now almost 2. He's excited to see her in the morning and comes home in a great mood. Carrie provides a home away from home and clearly puts so much thought and care into her space and the days that she plans for the children. She is always taking them to fun and engaging places nearby when the weather allows, or does arts and crafts when stuck indoors which means we have lots of lovely keepsakes that are brought home. I feel my son's development was helped a lot through his time with her and the support he receives, being encouraged to learn new skills by Carrie. I always look forward to the pictures at the end of the day to see what they've been up to. Carrie has also been a great support to us as first time parents, providing advice when we've needed as she has multiple years of experience with children.

Rifka has been an absolute godsend for us and now truly see her as family! Our son has medical issues which Rifka and her team have been wonderful about. He went there refusing to eat, anxious and clingy to mummy and very quickly ran in loving his time there and eating more than we’ve even known. He’s a big fan of Rifka’s beautiful food and it’s amazing getting new flavours into him. I couldn’t recommend Rifka more, she’s the best childminder in my opinion!
I cannot recommend Marie highly enough. She has been an incredible part of my son’s life from the age of 3 all the way to 8, and the care she provided has been nothing short of outstanding.
From the very beginning, she created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where my son felt completely at ease. Her patience, kindness, and genuine love for children shone through every single day. She supported his development beautifully — from helping him settle in during those early years to encouraging his confidence, independence, and curiosity as he grew.
What I appreciated most was her consistency and reliability. I always knew my son was in safe hands, and that peace of mind is priceless. She communicated openly, celebrated his little milestones with us, and treated him with the same care and attention she would give her own family.
Over the years, my son built a strong bond with her, and it’s clear how much she has contributed to the happy, confident boy he is today. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her as part of our journey.
If you are looking for a childminder who is caring, trustworthy, and truly exceptional, Marie is the one. She has been a blessing to our family, and we are forever grateful for the love and support she has given our son.

Amazing childminder with great communication. My youngest son started off very quiet, shy, and a real mummy’s boy, but he settled in so well with her and is now very happy and comfortable. We’re so grateful for the care she gives him. Our daughter will also be joining her in a couple of months when I return to work. Would highly recommend Dawne to everyone.
My daughter Mia started going to Kerryanne when she was just 9 months old. As a first time mum, I was very nervous about leaving her with someone else, but those worries disappeared very quickly. Kerryanne was absolutely brilliant.
Mia was not only very well cared for, but Kerryanne also supported her development in so many ways – helping her learn to walk, supporting her through potty training, and encouraging her learning every day. She always had advice whenever I needed it, and as a first time mum I needed it a lot.
The communication was excellent. I was always kept updated on what Mia was doing during the day, what she was eating, and when nappies were changed. That level of communication was invaluable for me.
Kerryanne always goes above and beyond, especially during holidays, organising extra activities for the children, birthday celebrations and even visits from Santa at Christmas.
My daughter is now at school, but I still use Kerryanne during school holidays and Mia absolutely loves going back. I honestly wish Mia could stay with Kerryanne forever.
You will not only have an amazing childminder, but you will gain a friend as well. I cannot recommend her enough.
Nicky has been caring for our 1 year old since I returned to work. She is such a kind and caring person, giving our little girl the comfort she needed during her first experience of care outside of home. Nicky provides a warm and inviting home where children can play and feel secure. Highly recommend

My wife and I were looking for a childminder on an ad-hoc basis so we could occasionally go out for date nights. Cotema was very easy to communicate with and always responded to messages promptly, which made arranging everything straightforward.
When I visited her home, she was very friendly and reassuring, which immediately made us feel comfortable. Her place was tidy and well set up for children, with plenty of toys, games and activities available. It was clear that she is very experienced in looking after kids and that children feel comfortable in her home.
Our six-year-old son stayed with her until late in the evening and had a great time. In fact, he didn’t want to leave and said he would like to come back again.
I would definitely recommend Cotema as a childminder, and we will certainly be choosing her again in the future.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Kerreyanne as the childminder for all three of our children. Our children, now aged 12, 8 and 5, were all in her care from just 2 months old right through until they started school at 5, and we truly could not have asked for a better person to help shape those early years.
Kerreyanne is far more than a childminder to our family — she has become a huge part of it. She has always shown genuine love, patience and dedication to every child she cares for, and our children absolutely adored their time with her.
Our eldest son struggled socially when he was younger, and Kerreyanne worked so patiently with him to develop his confidence and social skills. Through play, encouragement and carefully planned activities, she helped him learn how to interact with others and build friendships — something that has made such a difference to him as he has grown.
Our middle child experienced speech delay, and Kerreyanne went above and beyond to support him. She used a range of creative methods, activities and communication techniques to help develop his speech and language, always keeping us informed and working with us so we could continue supporting him at home as well.
When we began the journey of seeking an autism diagnosis for our youngest, Kerreyanne was an incredible source of support. She helped us understand behaviours, showed us strategies we could use at home, and approached everything with such patience, knowledge and compassion. Having someone so experienced and supportive during that time meant the world to us.
Even now, years later, I still go to Kerreyanne for advice and guidance when I have concerns about the children. She always makes time to listen, offers thoughtful advice, and supports us with the same care she always has.
As a childminder, Kerreyanne creates a warm, safe and nurturing environment where children feel secure and happy. Her home is always full of engaging activities — from crafts and messy play to outdoor adventures, learning activities, and opportunities for children to develop independence and confidence. She encourages kindness, good manners, curiosity and creativity in every child she cares for.
Communication with parents has always been excellent. Kerreyanne kept us updated with everything from milestones and daily routines to any concerns or achievements, and she always worked in partnership with us to support our children’s development.
Most importantly, she truly cares. Every child in her care is treated like part of the family, and that love and dedication shines through in everything she does.
We will always be incredibly grateful for the role Kerreyanne has played in our children’s lives and development. She gave them the best possible start, and we honestly cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for a caring, knowledgeable and devoted childminder.
I have just brought my 2-year-old daughter to this Amazing nursery. The staff welcomed me in a very nice and supportive way, the building is safe and there's plenty of space for children to play, they have a garden and trampoline which is good for every child to explore. What reassuring me is this App that I can connect to see everything my daughter is doing during the day also getting some pictures. So far my daughter is happy and always sing some songs at home that she has learnt at the nursery. I recommend this nursery because it is definitely safe for our children.

I have used Fatima for babysitting for the past 4 years. She has always been dependable and reliable and is so so good with children. Always warm and friendly. I urgently needed some wrap around care after having to go back to work and Fatima has been picking and dropping my children off from school and looking after them until I return. The kids love going to her house so much she’s almost become another family member! Would highly recommend!
Our son has been with Jo 2–3 days a week since he had just turned one, and we couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. We were very nervous about choosing someone to look after our little boy, but from the very beginning she has treated him like one of her own family, creating such a warm, caring and safe environment for him.
He loves going to her house and is always so excited to see her, which means everything. It’s so reassuring to know he is somewhere he feels happy and comfortable, and he has made some lovely friendships with the other children too.
Jo keeps us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which we really appreciate and love seeing. It’s clear how much time, care and attention she gives to the children, and we’ve seen such lovely development in our son during the time he’s been with her.
We feel very lucky to have found Jo and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other families.
My little girl has been with Kerri and Amy for almost 2 years. Kerri was so reassuring when she first started and she settled in really quickly. My little girl was born with hip dysplasia and unfortunately had to have surgery when she was 11 months old. Kerri and Amy have supported her post op journey and have followed the surgeons advice at all times. Her development has been amazing since being there both physically and educationally. I think the woodland/outdoor setting has really helped her mobility. She has grown in confidence, her speech is really good and this is all because of Kerri and Amy’s care! Kerri keeps you updated on your little one during the day which is really nice. My little girl loves it so much and I truat Kerri and Amy wholeheartedly. I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant and my unborn baby is already signed up for September 2027! Highly recommend :)

We are so excited to start with Emma as our childminder, from the very first visits and what we’ve seen so far, I can already tell she’s going to be amazing!
Her home setting feels so welcoming and truly homely – it’s cosy, calm, and has that lovely warm and nurturing vibe that makes the children (and parents!) feel instantly at ease.
Emma herself comes across as incredibly kind and thoughtful. She’s gentle with little ones, really listens, and has a natural way with children that puts them at ease straight away.
Emma picks up on what the children love to play with and builds from there – whether it’s following their lead with toys, starting a game based on their interests, or adapting activities on the spot. It feels personal and child-led, which is brilliant.
The activities we’ve seen are nicely varied too – a good mix of indoor play, creative stuff, and outdoor time when possible, keeping things fresh and engaging.
She’s been reliable with our communications so far, and very adaptive around opening and closing times – we’ve already appreciated her flexibility with our schedule, which makes such a difference when juggling work.
The app for updates looks great (we’ve seen some lovely examples), and I’m looking forward to those daily check-ins with photos and notes.
Most of all, you can just tell Emma genuinely cares and truly loves what she does. The way she interacts, smiles, and engages with the children – it’s clear this is a passion for her, not just a job.
Highly recommend based on everything we’ve seen so far!
The children never want Molly to leave!
Molly is a true Nanny family support. She has shown herself to be flexible, adapting to the needs of the children so I never have to feel like they are missing out when Molly is here.
Molly does school pick ups and drop offs and is always punctual.
Dinner and bed time routines are respected which means a lot to know I can come back after work and know what to expect.
I’d happily recommend Molly to any family needing some support.
We were incredibly lucky to find Katalina! My son absolutely adores her. She is kind, warm, highly educated, creative, adaptive and loving. She always plans developmentally appropriate and engaging activities for my toddler in advance. She ensured he meets all his milestones. They play, go out, she ensures the environment and food is always safe for him. When he’s asleep she helps around house where possible and we have a really good relationship. She works for us for almost two years now. Any family is extremely lucky to have her for her children. She also has lot of certifications and renews them regularly. She plays music and sings like an angel, my son loves her playing violin, recorder and piano. She introduced countless of stories, songs, rhymes and makes every minute with my son count.

Ellie is an amazing babysitter I found her on here years ago and she has been an absolute God send ever since. She is absolutely fantastic with my two children. She really is so caring, loving and kind. Dont know what I would do without her, she really is one in a million!!
My son Ezra has been coming here since he was 9 months old and is soon to turn 3. He absolutely adores both Sam and Laura and loves coming to see them and his friends. They’re always doing interesting activities or experiments, having trips out and we constantly get updated with what Ezra has done throughout the day. We are so happy that we chose Little Explauras for him to go to and will be very sad when he leaves to start school. The ladies are so kind and welcoming and ensure all of the children in their care get the best start to education, play and building friendships/relationships. We bring packed lunches and are always updated on how much they’ve eaten through the app they use, and they encourage the children to sit with their friends at the table. Thank you guys for everything you’ve done for us! X
