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.
Leaving this here as a massive thank you to Dawn for her wonderful care of our child with her wonderful services.
Dawn is proactive and considerate, really going above and beyond for the children in her care with the activities she plans.
I have been impressed with the techniques and enthusiasm she employs when teaching the children, our child has excelled amazingly with her and had compliments from her new school after first starting stating how educated she is already!
Dawn provides a home service thats very welcoming and warm and uses very kind mindful approach towards the children, as parents who value these qualities massively we have been blown away.
Every day the children went out for activities and came home with projects they have made and stories of what they have learned! Her safe guarding is exceptionally brilliant and up to date. Dawn kept in touch with us at all times with photos and videos of our child aswell as updates and a debrief about their day at pick up.
If we needed to contact Dawn herself she responded almost immediatley and helped us even with funding support for the websites.
Dawn is trained in working with children on the spectrum and who have additional learning need. She had fantastic patience with our child and was crucial in helping us identify solutions and communicting with them too as our child was very nervous starting due to disliking nursery previous to being in dawns care.
Dawn changed our childs perspective on education so fast! They are now a fully confident child ready to take on school!
I would also like to add how personal her care was towards our child, Dawn made us feel like family. Our child even received gifts at Christmas and received a homemade farewell and good luck card for our child beginning school and leaving her care, from Dawn and the other children.
If you’re lucky to get to hire Dawn I strongly reccommend her as she will be missed from our family, she is a rare gem!
Arjun has been with you for the past two years, starting from when he was just 13 months old, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better environment for him to grow, learn, and feel cared for. We are incredibly grateful for the personal attention, patience, and genuine affection you have shown him every single day. It has been wonderful and reassuring to see how comfortable, confident, and happy he has always been in your care.
We deeply appreciate the way you have supported his development — from building his early social skills to encouraging his learning, independence, and curiosity. The activities, play experiences, and gentle guidance you have provided have played a meaningful role in shaping his early years.
Your flexibility, especially around timings, and your willingness to always accommodate our needs have made a huge difference for us as a family. It is rare to find someone who not only cares for a child with such warmth but also supports parents with such understanding and reliability.
One of the clearest signs of the impact you’ve had is that Arjun still talks about you and often mentions wanting to come back to your house — a true reflection of how safe, loved, and happy he felt with you.
Thank you for everything you have done for Arjun and for us. We feel incredibly fortunate that he had such a nurturing and supportive start to his early years with you.
Geraldine looked after my eldest little boy from around 11 months old up until he was 3. During the time with Geraldine, she tret him as if he was her own and he absolutely loved Geraldine and attending through the week. She did loads of activities with the children in her care and he loved going to the allotment. Geraldine provided updates regularly and I loved how there was a file with things he had been learning/doing on a weekly/monthly basis that included photos of my boy. Her house is lovely and clean and has a room set for the children with a lovely big garden for outdoor play. They went out regularly for activities and outdoor fun and as mentioned to her allotment, ahe also ket up with other local childminders so children could mingle and play together which i find nice. She fed them a range of healthy home cooked meals and provided breakfast and snacks through out the day too.
My son is now 6 and still remembers Geraldine and occasionally asks about her.. when we see Geraldine out in public, she takes time so say hello and speak to him which is nice too. I'd 100% recommend Geraldine as your childminder!

Very happy for our son to join Kerri 3 days a week. He settled fast and feels completely at home there. Kerri is easy going and a good communicator; always available if you need her. Very nice setup compared to other nurseries we saw. We have extended his days and his brother will also join as soon as he’s old enough. Recommend
As a busy mum of 4 children I have used a few childcare providers, I have to say Kendall is amazing. My youngest two love her. Warm, friendly, kind and gentle. The adventures and day trips are so so good. She is consistently working along side with the pre school and I working towards development goals. Counting, colours, potty training and so much more. My son loves going to Kendall and she has become a big part of his life. She is so close to the school for my daughter and the trips to the park after school are always enjoyed. She feeds them well and is always encouraging them with rewards like stickers. They really enjoy their time with Kendall. It’s so reassuring to know your children want to go to their childcare. The school holidays are easy to book and she is always doing so much with them on days out.
We used Naomi for our eldest child, who is now 4 and in nursery. We naturally chose to use her again for our youngest, who is now 13 months old. Our daughter would run in every day without looking back, and our son greets her with a big smile every morning! I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again
Our daughter really struggled at nursery as she got easily overwhelmed, so we decided on the childminder route. Kerry, her experience, set up and even her own family are all incredible. She took the time to get to know her character and adapted everything to suit. We've been taking her for 2 months now and she's absolutely thriving, she absolutely loves going which makes us, as parents, feel so at ease. She gets to do some really fun activities while she's there and we get loads of happy photo updates throughout the day.
It's basically her second family, which is exactly what we hoped for! We've already signed up our 3 week old and can't wait for her to start 😁❤️

I highly recommend Sehar. She is incredibly caring, reliable, and creates a safe and welcoming environment for children. My DS is always happy and excited to go, which says a lot. Since being in their care nearly two years, I’ve noticed a big improvement in confidence and social skills. She provides a great balance of learning and fun activities, from creative play to outdoor time.
Communication is excellent, and I’m always kept updated about my child’s day. It really gives me peace of mind knowing my DS is in such capable and kind hands. I couldn’t ask for a better childminder and would recommend them to anyone looking for quality childcare.
Naomi looked after my son from 11 months old all the way up to 5 years old! She is honestly the best thing that could have happened to me and my son, as a first time full time working mum, Naomi was able to provide the warm home from home Childcare for my son, they went on trips and that helped lower the mum guilt of going off to work every morning! She would take the best pictures to show all the fun they were having and I instantly felt comfortable that he was in the best hands.
I would recommend Naomi to everyone looking for a childminder! Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better service.
Tina has been amazing!
As a first time mum, I didn't know whether to do nursery or childminders. I'm so glad I choose childminding and thrilled to have Tina.
Tina made the settling in and first few weeks so easy! My daughter was 11 months when I first left her with Tina. Now, less than 2months later, she gets so excited when I open Tina's front door. Watching her interact, laugh and smile with Tina brings me so much comfort.
Tina is amazing and provides a welcoming and homely environment. Everyday the kids are out and about doing something - whether library, park or playgroups! My daughter confidence levels have grown so much already.
Tina has even taken them to the farm and suggested a beach trip!
She has been flexible and able to help out when I needed an extra day childminding due to a work commitment - thank you!
We truly couldn't be happier with Tina & her care of our daughter.
Highly, highly, highly recommend!!
“Teachers like them truly make a difference. Their way of teaching doesn’t impose, it inspires. They don’t just help students learn quickly—they build confidence, motivation, and a real belief in themselves. The impact this has had on my son has been truly remarkable. He is so happy with you, and as a parent, that means everything. Thank you for your dedication.”
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Kelley. Our daughter started with her when she was just one year old, and from the very beginning Kelley made what could have been a really daunting transition feel easy and reassuring.
Kelley provides such a warm, safe and welcoming environment. It genuinely feels like a home-from-home, and you can see how much care and thought she puts into everything she does. Our daughter settled in so quickly and now absolutely loves going - which says everything. There are no tears at drop-off, just excitement to get inside and see Kelley and her friends.
The range of activities is fantastic. From arts and crafts to music, playtime and regular outings including the park, every day is varied and engaging. It is clear that Kelley focuses not just on keeping children entertained, but on supporting their development, confidence and social skills. We have seen such a positive difference in our daughter since starting. she has grown in confidence, communication and independence.
Communication from Kelley is excellent. The regular updates about meals, naps and daily activities are so reassuring, especially in the early days, and it is lovely to see photos of what they have been up to. Kelley is always approachable, happy to give advice and incredibly supportive.
Her experience really shows. She is calm, patient, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about childcare. You always feel that your child is in very safe and capable hands.
We honestly could not recommend Kelley more highly. She is everything you would want in a childminder and more.
Miss Minna has been an incredible private tutor for my son, who has learning difficulties. From the very beginning, she showed great patience, understanding, and dedication to supporting his learning needs.
What makes Miss Minna truly special is the way she adapts her teaching to suit my son’s pace and learning style. She creates a calm, encouraging environment that helps him feel confident and motivated.
My son genuinely enjoys her lessons and always looks forward to their sessions. It’s wonderful to see how comfortable he feels with her and how much his confidence in learning has grown. I truly appreciate her commitment and the positive impact she has had on his progress.
Such a warm, lovely and caring environment. I feel completely comfortable leaving my son, I've also seen so much improvement in my son's confidence and communication development. Highly recommend Ladybird childcare
Chloe at CFH Childcare has been absolutely wonderful for our little boy. She took great care to help him settle in with plenty of stay‑and‑play sessions, and we felt instantly at ease in her warm, welcoming setting.
He enjoys a wide range of activities every day — from messy play and small‑world setups to seasonal, age‑appropriate learning and regular outings. Since starting, he’s grown so much in confidence, speech, social skills, and curiosity.
Chloe provides a safe, nurturing environment where children are truly cared for. We’re kept well‑informed throughout the day, and the evening handovers are always thorough. Our child loves the home‑cooked meals and has even become more adventurous with food.
The bond between Chloe and our little boy is clear, and he’s excited to go every morning. We love the photos and updates she sends — it’s lovely to see what he’s been up to.
We highly recommend CFH Childcare for anyone looking for a caring, engaging, and thoughtful childminder.

Kerreyanne and her team are one of a kind. Before we met I was so anxious about leaving my daughter but from the minute we walked through that door my daughter felt safe it was like a home from home! My son has always struggled with his eating kerreyane and the team have had so much patience with my son that he now eats full meals!
We are so happy with the care our children receive. They are always happy, safe, and well settled, which gives us real peace of mind as parents. The communication is excellent – we’re always kept up to date with how the children are doing and what they’ve been up to, when they’ve been changed it really helps to settle that mum guilt!
What really stands out is how much effort goes into making the setting fun and special for the children. Different events and celebrations are organised throughout the year, which the children absolutely love. Things like hiring bouncy castles and even ice cream vans make it really exciting and create lovely memories for them.
It’s clear that a lot of care, thought, and effort goes into creating such a positive environment. We’re really grateful and would highly recommend the setting to other parents. We would be truly lost without someone like kerreyanne thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for our children!
We’ve been with kerreyanne 5 years now and there is none one else I would rather choose! Thank you again x
