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.
Jo, Donna and Vicki are an amazing team who provide an excellent standard of care for kids. My child arrived at 1 year and has thrived with Jo and the team. Her home setting is fantastic but they take the kids out to parks, playgroups and activities. They also have extensive crafts, toys and things for kids to do at home while also providing personalised work from the children. Donna and Vicki are excellent helpers and treat all the children like their own. There is always lots of singing and story time.
An excellent setting where you child will enjoy going to and they will thrive. We loved our time here.
I originally had my first born with Jo back in 2024, this was a big jump for me but I’ve never looked back since . With now my second born attending Little Tiddlers with Jo, Donna & Vicki - I would not trust anyone else. A beautiful, clean home with constant improvement & well thought environments for the children to learn and play. I know my children are loved and looked after like they are in their own home and have come on leaps and bounds in the care of 3 extremely lovely ladies who go above and beyond. Couldn’t recommend them enough and if I have more children I wouldn’t look elsewhere!
Jaz is honestly the most wonderful childminder/babysitter we have ever had. Jaz was a childminder for Ted, our youngest, from the age of 12 months, and we couldn’t have been happier with her. So much so, we continued to have her as our regular babysitter for the last five years.
She genuinely loevs our three children, and they love her.. They all get so excited when she babysits for us. Jaz is caring, kind, trustworthy and reliable. She never lets us down and always makes sure the children are happy, safe and feeling loved.
Jaz always goes the extra mile, whether it’s the little things she does for the children, such as Elf on the Shelf, birthday presents or reading their favourite books. She will also tidy up and do the little things for us that mean a lot. She will always go out of her way to help us and has become so much more than our childminder — she is a true friend and feels like part of our family.
Her husband, Sean, is equally lovely, caring and welcoming, and together. They have created such a warm and happy environment for our children and always stay professional.
We couldn’t recommend Jaz highly enough. She is an incredibly special person, and we feel very lucky to have her looking after our children.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Happy Days Preschool. Our daughter joined when she was just two years old and stayed until she was nearly five, and throughout her time there she was always so happy, settled and excited to go in.
She absolutely loved all of the members of staff, who were incredibly patient, kind, caring and attentive towards her. They went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable, supported and confident, and we are so grateful for everything they did for her. They were also remarkable in helping us with potty training, making what could have been a stressful stage so much easier for both our daughter and us.
One of the things that impressed us most was the incredible creativity they brought into the children’s activities. The crafts they made with the children for occasions such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Christmas were absolutely amazing. The thought, effort and imagination that went into them was truly special, and we have treasured every single one.
I have never been so impressed by the creativity and opportunities they gave our daughter, and it has definitely inspired her own love of crafting, which she still enjoys now.
Happy Days has given our daughter such a wonderful start, filled with happy memories, friendships, creativity and confidence. We will always be incredibly grateful to the whole team for the love, care and dedication they showed her. We would wholeheartedly recommend Happy Days Preschool to any parent looking for a warm, caring and creative environment for their child. ❤️

My little girl started shortly after turning 2 and had a really tough time being away from me. All of the ladies were so patient and helpful during the transition and trialled many different things to help her settle in. Ruby absolutely loved her experience at happy days and has grown so much confidence and so many skills since attending. There is great communication between the pre school and us as parents. They do some amazing activities with the children and plan lots of things to get the families involved. With it being smaller than most nursery’s, you can see the children have an amazing relationship with the adults, where they feel safe and content. I would 100% recommend this pre school to everyone!
We have had such a wonderful experience with Happy Days Pre-School. The staff are absolutely lovely, caring and supportive, and you can really see how much they genuinely care about every child.
Our daughter has been very happy there and has grown so much in confidence. She always enjoys going in and comes home happy, which for us as parents says everything. The staff have created such a warm, friendly and welcoming environment that it really feels like a little family.
We are extremely grateful for all the care, patience and encouragement they have given our daughter. We could not have asked for a better pre-school and would highly recommend Happy Days to any parent looking for a caring and nurturing place for their child.
My child was with Diane from 9 months old until they started school, so she was a big part of their early years.
Diane provided a consistent and reliable childcare arrangement for us over that time, which we really appreciated. It was reassuring to know our child was settled and familiar with their surroundings, and Diane supported them through those important early years and the transition to starting school.
We’re grateful for the care she provided over the years and for everything she did for our child during that time. We wish Diane all the best for the future.
Chrissy is the BEST!! Chrissy and her wonderful team truly felt like family to us.
My baby had never been looked after by anyone else when she started at Chrissy’s at just 11 months old. From the very beginning, Chrissy made us feel so supported and reassured, with lots of settling-in days and complete flexibility to make the transition as comfortable as possible. Before long, Chrissy’s became such a happy and special place for my little one that she would reach over to Chrissy with a smile, ready to start her day.
Chrissy is so warm, kind, caring and everything you could want and need when looking for a loving, supportive and nurturing environment for your child. What really stood out to us was how much thought Chrissy puts into every child in her care. She genuinely takes the time to understand their individual personalities, needs, interests and little quirks, and you can see how much she thinks about what will make each child happy, comfortable and confident. Nothing ever feels like an afterthought — everything is so carefully considered with the children's care and happiness at the heart of everything.
She is also incredibly reliable and trustworthy, which gave us such peace of mind as parents. We always felt that our little one was in the safest and most capable hands, and that Chrissy would go above and beyond to make sure she was happy, cared for and thriving. Knowing that someone cared so deeply about our child and knew her so well made leaving her each day so much easier.
The care and attention given to the children is exceptional, and the activities and fun they have are endless. From incredible trips to the RAF Museum, City Farms and the Zoo, to name just a few and adventures to weekly forest school and special music classes, every day brought new experiences and opportunities to learn and explore. We loved receiving updates about all the wonderful activities and outings they had been on — everything was so varied, thoughtful and exciting.
My baby reached so many amazing milestones whilst in Chrissy’s care. She came on leaps and bounds with her speech, group and individual play, confidence and independence, including feeding herself. It was so lovely to see how much she developed and flourished in such a happy and encouraging environment.
We feel incredibly grateful to have found Chrissy and her team. The love, care, thought and dedication they give the children is truly special, and we couldn’t have wished for a better place for our little one to grow, learn and be so happy.
Sarah and Graham have been looking after my son since he was 9 months old and he is today almost 2. As a first time mom, at the beginning i was always worried, about how he was getting on during the day, if he had ate his lunch, nap…etc So i was constantly messaging Sarah & Graham and they always replied as soon as they can if not right away, they always been very supportive. They used an app which tell me lots about my son during the day. Like when they changed his nappy, how long he slept etc etc and i find that great. Despite the number of kids they have, they keep close eyes on leo and would let me know of anything. Example, he has loose stool issue at some point, to report it to my GP, they told me when it started, they told me the days it was loose spread on several months…
They are doing lots of activities together, learning, singing, playgrounds, teaching them stuff about every day life. And i always receive pictures and videos without having to ask for it, which is so lovely on their behalf cause they make my days when im at work =)
I will definitely leave my son under their care until he will have to leave to school, at nursery he will never have the close care he is having now.
So thank you so so much to both of you for making a such good team and taking so well care of my baby xx

Sallyann and her team have been so wonderful with caring for my little girl. They go above and beyond to provide an environment that is nurturing, loving, educational and welcoming for all the children. My little girl thrived in their care and always clapped and did an excited little wiggle when we said to her in the morning ‘let’s go and see Sallyann!’
you can sense how much Sallyann and the team genuinely love the children and we are so grateful to them for caring for our little girl so beautifully. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wishcroft!
I am very happy with the care and support my child has received from our childminder. She is kind, caring, patient, and always makes sure my child feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I really appreciate the effort she puts into creating a welcoming environment.
It gives me peace of mind knowing that my child is being looked after with genuine care and attention. I would definitely recommend her to other parents looking for a reliable and caring childminder. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. 😘

I would highly recommend Olivia at GraceLand Childcare. From the moment we met, she has been so warm, welcoming and genuinely caring towards both myself and my daughter. She has always made an effort to understand my daughter’s individual needs and has been patient, kind and supportive with her. Her assistants have also been a great helping hand and I am grateful for their support.
What I appreciate most about Olivia is how approachable and honest she is. Communication has always been great, and she takes the time to update me properly and talk through how my daughter’s day has been, which has always made me feel reassured and involved.
She has also been incredibly accommodating around my daughter’s school hours and our circumstances, and you can really tell that she cares about the children and families she works with beyond simply providing childcare. She has such a lovely, nurturing nature and I’m very grateful to have found her.

Saba has been helping us over the last few weeks, and we’ve had a really positive experience with her. She is polite, kind, attentive and very caring. She has been reliable and thoughtful, and we’ve really appreciated the support she has given our family. It’s been a pleasure having her help us, and I would happily recommend her to others.
Caleb has a song for Samiya. It starts, “I love Samiya”, and then he works his way through the rest of the team. That sums it up for us.
We were tipped off about her when Caleb was a baby. Three and a half years later, Samiya, her husband Sami and the whole team are woven into his life. They have always seen him for who he is, cared for him with enormous affection and expected the best of him.
Caleb is an August baby, so we worried about whether he would be ready for school. Samiya was a primary school teacher and it shows. She prides herself on getting children “school ready”. He absolutely is.
His world has been bigger because of them: parks, nature, trips into London, different cultures, festivals and traditions. He has made wonderful friends and is incredibly affectionate with babies and patient with younger children - very much part of the culture Samiya has created.
It made complete sense when Lambeth’s Early Years team recently asked her to support other childminders in the borough.
Caleb will be back in the holidays, and our daughter starts next year. We are so relieved that this is not the end.
We love Samiya too.
We are incredibly sad to be leaving Kerreyanne and her wonderful team, but with Freya starting nursery closer to home, it’s the right time for us to move on. I honestly cannot recommend Kerreyanne highly enough. From day one, she has provided a loving, nurturing, and supportive environment where Freya has absolutely thrived. She has played such an important role in Freya’s development, helping her learn new skills, build confidence, and reach important milestones, including supporting us through potty training. The communication throughout the day has always been outstanding. We were regularly updated with photos, messages, and details about what Freya had been doing, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was happy, safe, and having fun.
What truly sets Kerreyanne apart is the genuine love and dedication she gives to every child in her care. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and she puts so much thought, effort, and energy into keeping the children engaged, entertained, and learning through play. It’s clear that she treats every child as if they were her own. The whole team’s kindness, warmth, and unwavering support have meant so much to us, and we will always be grateful for everything they have done for Freya.
If you are looking for someone who is caring, professional, dedicated, and genuinely passionate about what they do, then Kerreyanne is simply the best. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her as part of our daughter’s journey, and we cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for our family.
In short: five stars are not enough. Thank you, Kerreyanne ❤️
Zehra is the best! Our daughter has been going there full-time since she was 7 months and is now going to her after school! We are so happy we found Zehra, she is so kind, caring and a great teacher. Our daughter never wants to leave. She also wants to go at weekends, which is something we don't take for granted!
Not only this, but she's got a really well rounded environment with children of different backgrounds and ages and they all seem to really get on - they play together when they see each other in the park even with a big age difference which is such an advantage of a place like this.
We couldn't speak more highly of Zehra and are so glad we found her.
Kat has cared for my son both professionally and privately, inside and outside of his nursery setting, since he was just six months old. From the very beginning, she made trusting someone else with my baby feel completely natural and reassuring.
Kat has always taken the time to understand him as an individual and has supported his confidence, independence and development with so much patience and genuine care. My son absolutely adores her, and the special bond they share means the world to me
She has become part of our family while always remaining incredibly professional, reliable and respectful. Kat has continually gone above and beyond even helping with drop-offs in her own car, using the appropriate car seats, when I was without a car. I have always known that my son is safe, happy and loved in Kat’s care. I could not recommend her more highly; any family would be incredibly lucky to have her. Choosing Kat was genuinely one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Where do I start? Naima has exceeded every expectation I had.
Before choosing childcare for my daughter, I reviewed approximately 40 different options, including nannies, nurseries and childminders. Naima genuinely stood out and, in my opinion, blew everyone else out of the water.
She has created something truly special: the homely, nurturing environment of a childminder, combined with the structure and professionalism of a nursery, while also offering the intimate, personalised feeling of having a nanny as part of your extended family.
My daughter joined at just 8.5 months old. As a first-time mum, I was incredibly nervous about leaving her in someone else's care. To put it simply, I felt sick with worry! However, to my complete surprise, my daughter settled within her very first week, before I had even managed to settle my own nerves.
Naima and Mia now genuinely feel like part of our family. I am so happy with the variety of activities, learning opportunities and nutritious food my daughter is exposed to every day. I particularly love receiving the daily photos and videos and seeing how genuinely loved, embraced and included she is, not only by Naima, but by her whole family.
I honestly could not recommend Naima highly enough. If you are considering childcare, I would strongly recommend arranging a visit. You will not regret it!
Tanya has been a fantastic childminder for us and for my nieces too. We trust her implicitly. She gives so much love, care and energy to all the children in her care. She is so flexible and patient and goes out of her way to make life easier for parents. She serves delicious homemade food everyday for the children (It's really impressive!) My daughter had such a great time at Tanya's setting - Tanya provided a wide range of activities (playgroup, farm, playgrounds, the library etc.) She even got my daughter to nap when she wouldn't nap for me! Tanya was also fantastic with potty training, she was so enthusiastic about it and made it seem effortless. I highly recommend Tanya, if you are thinking of her for your child, you won't regret it 😀
