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.
Heidi has been a wonderful childminder to my two young children, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She is professional, experienced, and nurturing. I always had peace of mind knowing my children were happy, safe, loved, and well cared for, while enjoying the wide range of fun and stimulating activities she had planned. It was lovely to see the special bond she formed with them and to watch them develop under her care. I would highly recommend Heidi to anyone.

Kym was childminding my daughter from 1 years old up until she started Reception at primary school. I found Kym to be exceptionally reliable, patient, kind, nurturing and honest. Her home is so warm and inviting but also clean and tidy and child friendly. Her home is also secure with lots of outdoor and indoor play equipment which engaged and stimulated my daughter throughout her day so she always came home happy. My daughter developed wonderful friendships during her time with Kym and now that she is at school, she often says how much she misses going. I feel very lucky to have had Kym as our childminder, I can see why she is so popular. Kym is such a warm person who is kind to the core and I am honoured to continue having her in our lives as someone we now consider as a friend.

Eda is an amazing babysitter / nanny. Eda not only has a lot of professional experience but above all she is also a mother. She totally understands the baby needs, provides what is necessary including cooking meals, rocking the baby to sleep and playing. Eda is very responsible, helpful and respecful. I couldnt recommend Eda more.

I feel so lucky to have Terri caring for my children. She provides a warm, safe, and loving environment where each of them feels happy and valued. Her caring and professional approach gives me complete peace of mind every day. I know that their needs are met whilst the children are in her care. She provides me with updates regularly and goes out of her way to ensure everybody is happy.
Terri is wonderful with all 4 of my children and takes a genuine interest in their wellbeing, development, and happiness. She now feels like part of our family, and I couldn’t imagine anyone else looking after them.
I would highly recommend Terri to any family looking for reliable, kind, and inspiring childcare — she truly is one of a kind.
Our daughter has been with Laura and Fab from 11 months (she’s just turned 2) and we could not have asked for better or more flexible childcare. Our daughter can’t wait to go to them every morning during the week, it truly is her home away from home and I can tell she has formed a special bond with them both. The children do so much every day - painting, visiting the local nature reserve, playgrounds, baking, water play in the garden in Summer. We couldn’t recommend Laura and Fab highly enough, plus they are always happy to be flexible if you are are early or late. So glad we found them
This review is well overdue.
Jolene first looked after my son while my current childminder was on holiday in an emergency ( bad planning on my part) anyway Jolene was happy to help me out and she already knew my son through toddler groups he went to with his childminder.
Then when he was starting school she became our childminder for after school. Although it was only for a few months ( I left my job as was moving soon) she was amazing with him and he loved her.
She even got him to try different foods.
She worked around our schedule as much as she could and understood unseen commuting issues.
Even after we left her care we would see her and her mum around and they would always be friendly and asking how the move was going.

Being new to the area, we were apprehensive about finding childcare for our 1 year old when I was due to return to work a few years ago. My own Mum is an experienced childminder so I had very set ideas and understanding of what type of childminder/ setting I wanted for our little boy.
We went to meet Kim at her home when our little one was around 6 months and from that first meeting we knew we found the one. Kim was warm, chatty, showed us loads of policies and journals. Her home is beautifuk, clean and the children have plenty of space, both indoors and out to play in. Most importantly, Kim was eager to meet our little one and have a cuddle. We left knowing that we had found the right childminder (despite thinking we would need to visit a few to find a good one). This felt like amazing luck considering this was our first childminder we had seen!
Kim offered several settling in sessions in the build up to starting full time, we took it a session at a time and our little one settled really well.
Kim is out and about a lot, taking the little ones to various places during the week including local playgroups, the library, farms, parks, museums etc. I feel that this has helped our little ones confidence grow and he loves being out and about now!
Kim provides regular updates and photos / videos daily so you can see what your little one is up to. This is a lovely way to feel involved and up to date with what your little one is up to during the day. Kim provides updates as and when required and you are also able to message and check in if needed.
Kim has been amazing over the past 2 years but sadly due to location of our little ones pre school, we had to make the very sad decision to leave.
We are so thankful for the amazing 2 years of childcare Kim has provided and would recommend her setting to all!

Rebecca was the first Childminder we visited and the last, our 8 Month old at the time settled right in on the first visit and we knew from that moment he would stay until he would be starting school!
Our now 4 year old has grown into such a gentle and kind boy, thanks to the help of Rebecca over the years! Unfortunately while he was growing up he was prone to numerous Chest Infections and later diagnosed with Asthma, however I never once worried while he was at her setting due to Rebecca always keeping me up to date with how he was and adjusting the setting to help him.
We would and have recommend Rebecca to every parent we know and will continue to do so.
Our second child will also be attending her setting soon!
We highly recommend Sylwia! Our daughter loves playing with her: with her kindness, enthusiasm, and patience, Sylwia is able to make her feel safe and entertained every time. Her extensive experience with kids is remarkable, and we truly appreciate the passion and energy she puts in her job.
On top of that, Sylwia is very reliable, always on time, and great with sharing updates during her stay.

I can honestly say that since joining TW Kids, my twin boys have gone from strength to strength. Suzanne and her team have been absolutely amazing with them, they have been patient, kind, and really takes the time to understand each child’s individual personality and needs.
From the very first day, my boys settled in so quickly, which says a lot about the welcoming and nurturing environment Suzanne has created. They come home happy, confident, and full of babbles about all the fun things they’ve done - from creative crafts and outdoor play to learning new skills in such a natural, engaging way.
I’ve noticed huge progress in their social skills, independence, and confidence since being with Suzanne. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about every child in her care and puts so much effort into making each day enjoyable and enriching.
The communication with parents is also brilliant, Suzanne keeps us updated with photos, notes, and little insights into what the children have been up to, which is so reassuring.
I’m truly grateful to have found TW Kids and can’t recommend Suzanne highly enough. She’s made such a positive difference in my boys’ early years, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her!

Laura and Fab are absolutely fantastic. They care very deeply about the kids in their care and make them a part of their family - and us parents, too! Our son went there from 10 months old until we moved away. He had a great time and misses them dearly now (and so do we!). Laura and Fab do fun activities with the kids, like dancing, reading, learning, going on excursions to the park and nearby railway fields (always a favourite) as well as gardening in the summer. They also teach kids helpful boundaries and how to share, so we were very happy with our son's progress under their care.
Laura and Fab looked after our son from just after his first birthday, until he started full-time at nursery at almost 3 years old. He still talks about his “Rara and Fab” all the time and it was a hard decision to shift from a combination of childminder and nursery to full time nursery as he loved it so much.
They have created a totally special environment for the little ones, a loving home where all of the kids are treated like their own. Our son absolutely thrived under their care - and ate very well! He made great friends with the other kids and enjoyed regular outings to the regular playgroups and local parks. When the weather was good, they made the most of the lovely backyard as well.
We had regular updates throughout the day and a detailed debrief at the end of the day. Laura would go out of her way to help us out and check in on us as well. We definitely felt like one of the family by the time we left.
I cannot recommend Laura and Fab enough - we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to childcare for our son.
I am so grateful to Tash who was amazing with my 1 year old daughter who was too poorly to go to nursery and Tash stepped in to save the day while I had to work. She was so professional, communicative and lovely with my daughter who had such a great day with her - genuinely felt at ease as soon as she we met! Thank you for being so wonderful Tash!

Well if you looking for a second home for your child where someone can look after them, give them love and feed them well while stimulating your child’s development , I would highly recommend Shamim. Both my kids have been with shamim for over 3 years , they love her and the place so much that they always want to go back to see her and her family. Shamim looks after them so well , and is a very kind hearted and courteous human being . Me and my husband have always considered ourself lucky to have been able to send our kids to Shamim’s where we know they will be looked after. She is very flexible understanding the challenges parents face and is always willing to help as much as she can. My daughter is 5 now and she goes back to see aunty shamim with her brother . Last time she was missing her and said mummy I have got this flower can we please go and see shamim as I want to giver her the flower <3 . They love the food she makes and always makes sure the kids are fed, taking them out to places where they love and giving them thoughtful presents that kids appreciate. She has always gone over and above to love and support the kids and us as parents. Thanks
Leaving your child in the care of strangers is the most daunting thing we do as parents. It was nearly 10 years ago that we met Karl and Lia for the first time and they put us both at ease straight away. My boys have had so much fun at Buttercup lane childminders. They have been well cared for and loved. Not to mention all of the fabulous days out and activities they have been treated to with them. Karl and Lia have become a firm part of our family and invaluable part of our support network. So glad we made the call and chose them all those years ago.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
