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.
Miss Minna has been working with my daughter for over a year, and I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. She has supported her with maths in a way that has not only improved her understanding, but also significantly boosted her confidence and independence.
Miss Minna is calm, patient, and incredibly nurturing. She creates a safe and encouraging environment where my daughter feels comfortable to try, make mistakes, and learn. In the lead up to SATs, her 1:1 support has been invaluable in helping my daughter feel more prepared and self-assured.
We’re so grateful for the positive impact she’s had both academically and emotionally.
Gemma came into our lives with my daughter when she was aged 1 she is now almost 18 and still remembers her days with Gemma, she not only built memories but friendships for life as she was taught how to socialise and manage relationships in a healthy way. It was a no-brainer when 7 years later I had my son who went to Gemma 4 days a week at 16 weeks old - going back to work is tough but I was lucky that I never had to worry about where he was or what he was doing as he was always looked after by Gemma as if he were her own…. I was always kept well informed and communication was easy, photographs of moneys in his day would make my day, He stayed with Gemma until he was almost 5 and starting primary school! Gemma teaches children so many skills from verbalising and communicating their feelings to arts/crafts and movement. I was always amazed at her imagination and focus on making every activity child-centered. Gemma’s ability to support the whole family is second to none, the setting is perfect as a home from home - comfortable and safe. Gemma strives to ensure every day is full but with a careful and consistent routine.
My children would not be the people they have become without Gemma’s love and influence - and I am forever grateful to her for that.
Jo has been caring for my 4 year old for the last 3 years and I can’t rate her highly enough. My son settled in super quickly and loves going each day.
Jo is always thinking of fun activities and adventures for the children to enjoy, from days out to the zoo, to fun indoor learning that my son is always excited to share with me.
Jo is supporting my son to transition to primary in September, including making sure he has all the support in place with his SEN needs. She’s amazing!
Scarlet has been looking after our one year old for us and we couldn't be happier. She is punctual, professional and reliable. Very clean and tidy. Our little boy took to her very quickly and settled very well with her. He is an energetic little baby and with Scarlet around he is never bored. She is a lot of help around the house as well. I feel supported and at peace with her as our nanny.
I highly recommend her and feel lucky to have found someone who fits so well with our family.
I entrusted my 9 month old to Bels Daycare and it was the best thing I’ve done - he developed in bounds in 3 short months and learnt so many new things! No crying on drop off or pick up, he was always so content.
My favourite was seeing him do messy play, getting pics him with the biggest smile on his face as he learnt new textures, colours and skills, he really tried so many new things.
We were very sad to leave Bels as we’re moving out of London, but so thankful that our baby boy will be ready for nursery wherever we go next!

Our 2yo son absolutely loves going to Jo’s. He settled in so quickly and is always chatty and happy when we pick him up - it’s a joy hearing him babble about his day. Jo’s calm, patient, caring, and fun approach with the children is wonderful to see and gives us real peace of mind while we’re at work - the kids love her! Whenever I’ve asked Jo for advice, she’s been incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, which I’ve really appreciated. I can’t recommend her highly enough - the range of activities she offers (the zoo, cathedral, various museums etc etc) and the nurturing environment she creates, both personally & in her home, are truly exceptional. We feel so lucky to have found her. (We’ve been with Jo from September 2025 when we moved to Winchester)
Thank you so much for all your help,
We have been working with Miss Minna for over a year now and I can say she is an amazing teacher,she is very calm and very friendly.
My son has is hyperactive and he can't stay to work more than 5 minutes evan at school is struggling a lot but with Miss Minna s help he is getting to work for 1 h i don't know how she managed but she does a great job.
Thank you for everything
I have 2 young children who are cared for by Lucy and Lelia and my experience has been wonderful. They are both kind, warm and nurturing and my boys can't wait to spend their day with them. Communication is great and I feel they will do whatever they can to replicate a similar environment and routine to their home. Activities are thoughtful and fun and the setting provides a relaxed and homely environment where children can thrive. Both Lucy and Lelia are very experienced professionals and take their role in the children's lives seriously, ensuring a high standard of care is provided. I have total peace of mind and security that my children are safe and supported. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
We were in Cambridge for a wedding and our 9mo old needed looking after for the day. It was the first time she’d been looked after by someone else and we’re so glad that was Karla! I’ve never seen my baby take to anyone so quickly; she was kept happy and engaged all day and we received plenty of updates. Karla even managed to get her down for the night! I cannot recommend her enough. You really couldn’t ask for more, you can tell she works with and loves kids :)
Martina is an absolute gem and our daughters adore her.
She has been wonderful - very caring, nurturing and clearly highly experienced in looking after babies and children.
She has been providing daytime childcare for us from time to time as well as evening babysitting when needed for couple of years now.
We know we can trust her and our daughters have also learned a lot from her.
The main thing for us was reliability, safety, consistency and a loving approach and Martina has ticked all of the boxes. We couldn’t ask for more honestly.
Our daughter has been with Luisa & Domenico for almost a year and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to send her (our second daughter will hopefully join soon).
They are incredibly nurturing & caring in a home from home setting yet also have a clear structure for the week. Daily they visit playgroups, museums, parks etc so have plenty of opportunity to mix with other children, as well as activities at home in the afternoon.
We have been blown away by our daughter’s development including her manners, language, social skills. I strongly feel that Luisa has contributed to her development in a way that I wouldn’t have been able to at home.
Please feel free to get in touch if you want a reference.

My son has been going to Natasha for the last six years. We have been very happy with her as has he. He loves going there! Natasha is simply lovely and nothing is ever any trouble. She also genuinely cares for the children and her house really is a home from home. We have never had any issues at all and always recommend her to others.
Sue and her team have been an absolute god send for me and my family. Hands on, helpful, caring, informative. It was the best decision I ever made after moving to the area. I dont have enough praise for them and all the support they have given us.
Thank you all so much for everything!
Amrit is so caring, warm and patient, she creates a welcoming environment for kids. She looked after my son and l cannot believe how much my son enjoyed his time with Amrit. Amrit keeps you updated on your childs day with photos, which l found reassuring. There is a wide variety of activities to keep kids entertained. Overally l would definately recommend Amrit if you are looking for a safe and caring environment for your child.
Carly responded to my add for 1:1 support for my 15 year old son, to help support with travelling and being out and about.
Carly was fantastic from the off, she came out and introduced herself to the whole family, very open and honest and enthusiastic. I felt very reassured and confident in her abilities.
My son and Carly have navigated different towns and cities, bus journeys, getting around.
My son’s confidence has grown and he’s happy to deal with bus journeys and pay for things in shops. His confidence has grown so much and he’s happy to navigate the new life skills he’s developed since going out with Carly.
Carly is wonderful, she gets his sense of humour and he comes home happy and laughing every time which is wonderful for us to see.
Really pleased that Carly reached out and was happy to take on his social development. Honestly so thankful that Carly is a part of his world.
Cannot sing your praises enough, thank you from us all. You make more of a difference than you realise xxx
Larissa is a caring and dependable babysitter who our little one absolutely loves. She’s warm, patient, and always engaged, with a lovely non-screen approach that we really appreciate.
We mainly book her for date nights and social commitments, and she’s always punctual and trustworthy. It’s a real comfort knowing our little one is happy with her.
Our daughter has been with Caroline for 3 years and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better start for her. She has grown into such a happy, confident little girl and we really do put a lot of that down to Caroline.
Her setting is a genuine home from home and what really stands out is how much time the children spend out and about. They are always exploring, going on little adventures and experiencing new things, which feels very different (and better suited to our daughter) than a typical nursery setting.
Caroline provides a great variety of activities and it’s clear how much thought goes into helping the children learn through play. All the children in her care seem so happy and confident, which says everything.
She is incredibly caring, reliable and makes everything very easy for us as parents. Communication is excellent and we love receiving the regular photos and updates of what our daughter has been up to.
We are genuinely going to be really sad when our daughter leaves to start school, and we can’t recommend Caroline highly enough.
My daughter has been with Fabiana for nearly 1 year. She has been an absolute blessing for our family. Fabiana is genuinely caring, completely trustworthy and creates such a safe and loving environment. Every day our daughter comes home excited to share what they’ve learned — from new words to creative activities, she cannot wait to go back the next day. Her honesty and professionalism give us total peace of mind. We couldn’t ask for anyone better.
I cannot recommend Emma highly enough as a childminder. She cared for my daughter for two years, and throughout that time she consistently exceeded all of my expectations.
From the very beginning, it was clear how kind, patient, and nurturing she is. She created a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where my daughter was always happy and settled. Her support with my child’s development across all areas was outstanding. I saw real progress in her confidence, communication, independence, and social skills, all thanks to the care and attention Emma provided.
I received very detailed daily updates, along with photos, which gave me great peace of mind and made me feel fully involved in my daughter’s day. It was obvious how much thought and effort she put into planning engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that changed daily.
Most importantly, my daughter absolutely adored her. She formed a strong bond with Emma, and it meant everything to know that my child was not just being looked after but genuinely cared for and supported. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have their child in her care. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and highly skilled childminder.
