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.
Diana has provided our son with excellent care and the strength of relationship they have built is testament to that. Dian has been thoughtful in attending to our son's emotional and development needs, creating a caring and stimulating environment for him at all times. Diana's wealth of experience was very evident, with her going above and beyond to support us with potty training, diet, first aid and general heath of our son. This has been very reassuring and we've learned a lot as a family from Diana. Diana gave comprehensive updates on our son during the day, telling us the ways in which she was scaffolding on his abilities and supporting him to learn through fun, play and curiosity. I highly recommend this skilled, experienced and professional nanny, who truly cares about the children and families she works with.

Michelle was responsive and provided answers to questions during the interview process. She was a quick trainee with another nanny we had. Her skills are clearly ingrained as she is also a mother and has experience as an au pair. She does it all! Our children immediately took to her and looked forward to her care. She always left our home tidy and our children were always clean, well-fed, rested, and most importantly: happy! She did school runs and handled things at home while we were at work! I am happy to chat with anyone who would like an in-person review but I can’t say enough about how Michelle was an asset to our family! Hire her immediately before someone else snaps her up!

We hired Nicola to come and look after our 2 year old son. After a couple of bad experiences with nurseries we were quite nervous and had a hard time choosing a nanny. It was clear within a couple of hours that we had made the right decision with Nicola. Our son took to her immediately and nothing was too much trouble for her. She'd arrive equipt with a bag full of games and learning aids and it was amazing watching just how much our little one came on week by week because of all of the activities Nicola would run with him. But more importantly he loved every second of it. Nicola would do lots of arts and crafts and days out and send us regular updates and daily reports. Throughout our time working with Nicola we also got to know her lovley children , who our children developed a fantastic bond with. Can't recommend Nicola enough. Thanks for everything Nic!
Amy has looked after my children 2/3yrs and 4/5yrs and they absolutely love her. She is creative and joyful with a passion for art and music that she shares with the children who thrive around her.
Whether it’s face painting or baking or playing outside Amy understands what the children need and how to bring the best out of them. She is a pleasure to have around and we would highly recommend her.

Susi has been looking after my 2 children aged 10 and 8 on an ad hoc basis. Both my children have additional needs and Susi is very understanding of this. My 10 year old daughter absolutely loves Susi and all the activities she does with her. Susi is very flexible, patient, calm and amazing with children.

Lana is very flexible and considerate. She was warm with my son and that gave me peace of mind.
My boy loved being at hers. He felt comfortable and each time I picked him up, he had smiles only, never cried while I was away.
Thank you Lana for helping us out last minute, caring for my baby wholly and being encouraging through the process. Will definitely keep referring and also come back

Taís has been with Diana for about 5 months and tais’s communication has improved a lot. Diana is understanding and caring and always ensuring that Taís is succeeding. Diana also makes sure that the kids get along and support one another. No compliments , simply the greatest!!!

Prudence at Little Eden has been a godsend for our family. From her endless energy to her thoughtful outings, she's made every day an adventure for our 2-year-old son.
Her care goes above and beyond—we'll never forget the time she delivered our son home during the chaos of welcoming our second baby.
Little Eden is a paradise for kids, with a spotless setting and a garden our son adores exploring.
Prudence keeps us in the loop with daily updates and adorable photos, giving us peace of mind while we're apart.
But what truly sets Prudence apart is her dedication to our son's growth. Through practical skills and child-led play, she's helped shape him into a confident little explorer.
We can't recommend Prudence and Little Eden enough—they've become like family to us.
Zaida, well where do I start. I am a very anxious mother who has the one child child only. Zaida has been nothing but amazing. As a single working parent, Zaida has gone above and beyond to show care and provide her services when she can to us. She has become part of the family. My son loves going to her house. I don't ever have to worry whilst at work (that's a huge thing). Her communication skills are immense. She always sends piks, and a text everyday to let me know how he's gone. Honestly as a parent I really wouldn't know what I'd do without her. Get her booking , she's nothing but amazing,clean, caring,helpful, loving and so kind.
Sadly I was very messed around by Kirsty. She cancelled the second time she was supposed to come with what seemed like a reasonable excuse. The third time she was due she cancelled the night before, 12 hours after me asking if she was still OK to come, she was due the following morning. She assured me she'd be there the fourth time she was due to babysit and didn't turn up or communicate with me. Very disappointing behaviour from someone with her claimed experience.

Mel gave private tutoring sessions to my daughter who was 3 years old and was a little bit delayed in her communication and conversation making. Dila loved her sessions with Mel. She is so kind and caring. Her interactions with children is amazing, she had a great bond with my little one who enjoyed every minute of the sessions and in such a little time we noticed that her speech was improved. I had hundred percent trust in Mel. I recommend her 100%.

If you're considering Zoey to care for your children, I cannot recommend highly enough. Since taking care of my 3 year old, his development has come on in leaps and bounds (he had delayed speech) and Zoey has supported us as a family with this where we now have no concerns. The activities she plans and the outings she takes them on are really varied and tailored to what he enjoys. She has also helped him settle into preschool over recent months which he really struggled with, her patience and passion for what she does shines through and as a family we can't thank her enough for everything she has done for our son. From day 1, he has been treated as part of their family and the bond he has with Zoey and her family has been lovely to see grow.
Due to our family circumstances, i needed to go back to work after just six months, so finding a childminder who was going to be able to provide my child with the care and attention she would receive at home was paramount.
Meeting Dawn was exactly why we knew not sending our daughter to nursery at 6mths was the right thing. She has cared for our daughter like she was her own. Updates are regular and detailed. Her husband makes the children’s food from scratch and it is varied and nutritional and our daughter loves it. She teaches impeccable manners and how to be kind, loving and caring which is SO important to us.
We have met a long term friend in Dawn. Other than grandparents, there really is no one else we would entrust our child with. She loves her, we love her and whilst we know moving our child to nursery is the right thing for her social development as she prepares for school next year, it has been the hardest decision as we know we will have to compromise on many things.
Any parents who choose Dawn to care and look after their child will be making the absolute right decision.
Whilst we will miss our daughter being with her daily, we know we will retain contact for years to come.
Sophie has been babysitting our 1 year old on an ad-hoc basis since she was about 9 months old. Sophie has been confident, caring and fun with our daughter from the start, meaning that we have been able to leave our child in her care and not worry. We would highly recommend her.
Chantelle is very good with navigating without directives from her first day. She is very communicative, highly patient and creative with my 4 years old Peter. She collects peter after school and engages him full time to prevent danger naps so mama and dada can have quality night sleep. Peter 😭 when she leaves as she’s his best Lego building buddy. xx
Thank you for providing such excellent care to my son. Your kindness and nurturing approach have created a safe and loving environment for him to thrive in. We're incredibly grateful for your dedication and the positive impact. You truly go above and beyond, and we couldn't ask for a better childminder.
My 13 month old daughter is looked after by Reena 7 hours a day for 4 days a week. She started going 4 days a week when she was 10 months old, but Reena also accommodated plenty of 'taster' and 'settling in' days in the couple of months leading up to her regular attendance so that by the time she started she was very happy there and familiar with her surroundings. When we're at home, my daughter often cries or whines when I leave her, but when she goes to Reena's she happily waves goodbye and doesn't cry when I arrive to pick her up. That's testament to how well loved she is when she's there, and the happy and nurturing environment Reena has created. I'm the curate at the church nearby, and my husband is also working, so going back to work has been very busy and an adjustment for us both. Reena has been flexible and supportive as we've slowly extended my daughter's hours and adjusted the timings to better fit our working days. Reena has also happily accommodated changing nap times and dietary requirements.
My daughter also seems to really enjoy the trips out to playgroups etc, and I've noticed that she has become very confident and happy around other children over the last few months. We're so glad to have found Reena!
Channy is amazing and she’s kind, patient and very playful with my boy.
She’s also very great at communicating as she keeps you updated on everything.
I’m so happy to have met her and felt at ease leaving her with my son. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better.
