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.
Shelley has been nothing short of incredible from the very beginning. Trusting someone with your child is never easy, but Shelley made it feel natural and reassuring straight away. She keeps me constantly informed, which gives me complete peace of mind and makes such a difference as a parent.
Shelley truly takes the time to understand my child’s individual needs and always adapts her care to make sure they feel safe, supported, and happy. What makes her truly special is the genuine love she has for the children she looks after - she cares for them as if they were her own, and that warmth and kindness shines through in everything she does.
She doesn’t just support the children, she supports the parents too. Shelley is always approachable, understanding, and reassuring, offering guidance, encouragement, and a listening ear whenever it’s needed. Knowing that both my child and I are supported means more than words can say. I am endlessly grateful for everything Shelley does and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any parent looking for someone truly exceptional.
Thank you Shelley xxx

We hired Shannon to care for our twins. We went through the process of setting her up on payroll and had a contract in place. The evening of the second day, she emailed to say she had to quit effective immediately for mental health reasons. She didn't work her notice, so we were stuck and had to find last minute care for our kids. As great as Shannon was during the trial we conducted, she just wasn't a very trustworthy or reliable option for long-term childcare in the end.

Jackie is an amazing childminder, she is the most attentive, warm and kindest people I know. The biggest worry going back to work is who to trust with your child is such a scary thought however, I can whole heartily say that I will be sad the sad my child no longer goes to Jackie.
Jackie also makes some delicious home made food, and will send the recipe over which really helps with introducing new foods as my child went from a baby to a toddler.
In the time my child has been with Jackie, she has never had a day off sick. She is consistent, professional and one of the best. You can tell this by how much the children all love her and no tears at handover.
I couldn’t be happier with Coleen. From the very beginning, she made us and our daughter feel completely comfortable and supported. My daughter has thrived in her care coming on leaps and bounds and always comes home happy, settled, and excited to tell us about her day.
Her setting warm, safe, and nurturing, with lots of fun and educational activities that really support learning and development. Communication has always been excellent, and i feel confident knowing my daughter is in such caring and capable hands.
Not only has Coleen cared for my daughter she has supported us as a family through medical issues and feeding problems my daughter is currently undergoing medical care for.
I would highly recommend Coleen to any parent looking for high-quality, reliable and amazing childcare you can't go wrong with Coleen.
Mary was our night nanny for three months, working three nights a week, and she was wonderful. She is caring, gentle, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and always impeccably punctual. Like many parents, we were initially anxious about leaving a stranger to care for our son overnight, but Mary earned our trust and became part of our family during that time. She went above and beyond, checking in on our son even on nights she wasn’t working and asking how doctor’s appointments had gone. Mary supported us through the fourth trimester and thoughtfully helped us find colleagues to take over when she left. I have no hesitation in recommending her to other parents.
My daughter has been going to Gilly and Crisse for quite a while now and I wouldn’t want her going anywhere else!! Both Gilly and Crisse are so loving and have a genuine passion in providing the best childcare. They have the most amazing, adventurous, special days out planned for the little ones and my daughter has come on leaps and bounds since being at Gilly Bee’s.
We started using Misha’s Nursery when my son had just turned 1. At first, it was difficult to leave him, but Misha and her team reassured me that he would be absolutely fine — and they were right!
The nursery is truly the best in the area: they cook healthy meals, care for all the children, and pay attention to every little detail. We couldn’t be happier with the care and support they provide. My heart is peace when I leave and pick up my child from Misha’s nursery.
Highly recommend it! x
We are very happy that our 14‑month‑old son had the chance to be cared for by such a wonderful nanny. It was his first time with her, and he quickly felt comfortable and safe in her warm, caring presence. Our little one had a fantastic time, played beautifully, and came home relaxed and smiling, which means the world to us as parents. We highly recommend.
We’ve been lucky to have Lia help us with childcare on several occasions. She is naturally calm, kind, and incredibly patient even when our herberts were full of energy and the house felt chaotic. She has a reassuring presence, and the children felt comfortable with her straight away. We always felt confident leaving them in her care and would happily recommend her to any family looking for a loving and dependable nanny.

My little 20 month old son has been going to Coleens for a year now. All I can say is she’s one of a kind.
Each morning I drop my son off, I feel like I’m handing her my whole heart to protect until I get back. What an amazing job she does. My son has flourished during his time with Coleen. I can’t recommend her enough.
Pam built a genuinely warm, trusting, and positive relationship with our children, who were always happy, comfortable, and secure in her care. She has a natural authority that the children respected, combined with kindness and consistency, which meant her approach to boundaries and discipline worked extremely well.
She was also exceptionally reliable and always punctual, and she consistently showed flexibility to meet the changing needs of our family. Her many years of experience were very evident in her calm, confident approach and in the way she handled both everyday routines and more challenging moments.
Pam was proactive in keeping the children busy and engaged, regularly taking them out to activities and ensuring they had a varied and stimulating day. She also helped keep the house tidy and well-organised, which was greatly appreciated.
As parents, had a very positive, respectful, and healthy working relationship with Pam, built on clear communication and mutual trust. She is a truly excellent nanny, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to another family.

We hired Vanessa as a night nanny for a couple of weeks after being discharged from hospital following our daughter’s stay in ICU and her diagnosis of epilepsy at just five weeks old.
She was warm, calm, and deeply kind, while also being highly professional, communicative, and flexible to our needs. She took the time to truly understand our daughter, her medical background, and our routines, and it was clear how safe and comfortable our daughter was with her. She was clean, tidy and respectful of our home too.
Vanessa gave us invaluable peace of mind. Knowing our daughter was in such capable hands allowed us to rest properly for the first time. She followed our night-time routines with care while also offering thoughtful suggestions that genuinely helped improve feeding and sleep. We learnt so much from her.
We trust Vanessa completely and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family, especially those navigating complex or challenging circumstances.
My boy Kajus is going to Coleen’s now for 2 years, he was such a shy boy when he started there, me and my husband didn’t had any family around us so it was always just 3 of us, Coleen took him under her wing and bless her, he’s completely different boy now. At the beginning he was a loner, now he’s so involved into everything, loves doing crafts with all the kids as well, every day he’s excited to be there and it’s just so relieving for me to let him go into a place where he feels safe and happy to be there. Coleen always gives her 100% for all the kids, you can see that she has loads of experience with kids and gives me loads of advice what worked for her when i ask as i’m a first time mom. She’s been just brilliant that even when we moved from Stanton, I still drive my boy everyday to her. 100% recommend.
Rana supported us with our newborn for a few months until we had to relocate out of country. I’m more than happy to recommend her as she is responsible, kind and patient with us and the baby. She joined us to care for our 2.5 month old baby boy at the time and he liked her from the start! Rana can read baby cues well and her duties included bathing the baby, taking the baby for sensory classes, feeding , burping, helping baby sleep and more. We are glad to have linked up with Rana and work with her. Thank you so much Rana !
My son has been going to misha’s since September, within this short spam of time he has learnt so much, Iam always surprised when I hear him use new words. He happily walks to mishas door during drop off. I am so glad to have found the perfect place for my baby. Thank you misha and team for all that you do. Xx

I thank my lucky stars I found Misha & team to care for my daughter. I was anxious about leaving her for the first time but I shouldn’t have been! My daughter excitedly runs in to Mishas every morning and greets me with laughs and smiles when I pick her up. Her day filled with all kinds of play, a healthy meal, outdoor fun, reading, educational activities , the list goes on. All round brilliant!
