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.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our son receives here. The setting feels just like a warm, welcoming home, which made settling in so easy for him and gave us complete peace of mind from day one. He is always happy, engaged, and genuinely cared for.
They went over and beyond to make settling in work and as smooth as possible - I had international work travel, my husband started a new job and the our son was having his first weeks at full time childcare!
One of the biggest strengths is the setup. Soonu operates in a trio childminder operation! Because three of them work together as a team, we have never had to scramble for childcare due to sick days, appointments, or personal time off. There is always familiar, reliable cover in place, which provides incredible consistency for our son and total peace of mind for us as working parents.
They provide the warmth and individual attention of a traditional childminder alongside the reliability and structure of a nursery. We are so grateful for everything they do and cannot recommend them highly enough.
I never dreamed that my daughter would have the best childminder I could have ever wished for. She is truly passionate about what she does and genuinely cares for every child as if they were her own.
She takes such wonderful care of the children, making sure they are well fed, changed, happy and comfortable. She goes above and beyond to create meaningful experiences for them, taking them to the park, farms to see the animals, and many other places where they can explore, learn and develop.
What I appreciate most is the love, patience and dedication she puts into her work every single day. She is not simply looking after the children; she is helping them grow, learn, become more confident and develop important skills through fun and enriching experiences.
I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have her looking after my daughter. Knowing that my child is in such caring, capable and loving hands gives me complete peace of mind. I truly couldn't ask for a better childminder. Thank you for everything you do for the children and for all the love and care you give them.
Karla was a great addition to our family on our holiday. She played with our kids, aged 5.5 and 1.5, with a ton of patience and love. Her approach of letting kids ease into getting to know her worked wonders, especially with our little one, who started asking for her by name over and over again. If you're looking for someone who will be on time, easy to coordinate with, and a great fit, hire Karla.
Neeam has been absolutely brilliant from the very start. My boys couldn't read at all when they first began their sessions with her, and now they can read, write, and spell. This is all thanks to how nurturing, patient, and supportive Neeam has been with them.
Neeam also has a wealth of experience working with children with SEN, which really shows in the way she adapts her teaching to suit each child's individual needs. She has helped my boys become so much more confident in their learning, and they genuinely look forward to every session with her.
Neeam has been phenomenal in supporting them with their education and has a wonderful way of making learning more accessible and enjoyable through play and hands-on activities. Her patience, understanding, and dedication have made such a positive difference to my boys.
We are so grateful for everything she has done and continues to do for our boys. I would highly recommend Neeam to anyone looking for a caring, experienced, patient, and dedicated tutor.
We are very happy with the wonderful care Renuji provided for our kids.
She was always kind, caring and patient with them.
Our kids were always happy and enjoyed spending time with her.
She was very flexible and always accommodating to our needs.
We especially appreciated the lovely home-cooked meals she prepared for them.
We felt completely reassured knowing they were in safe and caring hands.
We truly appreciate all the love, care and support she gave our kids.
We would highly recommend Renuji to any parent. ❤️
My daughter was with Emma for around a year and absolutely loved her time with her. She really helped bring her out of her shell and I noticed such a difference in her confidence. She was always excited to go and came home happy telling me about what she'd been up to. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and caring childminder 😊
My daughter previously attended Natts nippers child care, and most recently my son was in Natalie’s care. My son is 2 years old (3 in may) he shows significant signs of Autism- Non verbal. Natalie has helped me with a SPOA, and continuous support throughout all the years I have brought my children to her setting. She’s helpful with her knowledge, gives advice when needed, and overall an amazing child minder. I would 100% recommend to any parent looking for child care.
Kathleen has looked after my son several times including overnight. She is excellent! Kind, caring and very reliable. My son very much enjoys spending time with Kathleen. He always has lots of fun and i can rest knowing he is well looked after! Highly recommend x
We started bringing our daughter to Tolu when she was 11 months old. She is a very clingy baby and, as first-time parents, we were quite nervous about leaving her with someone else.
Tolu has been amazing, both with our little girl and with us as parents. We felt from the very beginning, even during the interview process, that she was really attuned to Miya, which was one of the main reasons we chose her. She really pays attention to her individual needs, got to know her character very quickly and takes amazing care of her.
There is always lots going on, with different activities at home, plenty of time outside and regular library visits for songs and play. Settling into childcare has been a process for Miya, and Tolu has been incredibly patient and attentive throughout. We can see her becoming more and more comfortable and building a lovely relationship with Tolu.
Tolu has also been amazing at communicating with us. She keeps us updated, reassures us when we are worried about something and often shares helpful tips and observations about Miya and her development. She has also been very flexible with us while we are figuring out our new everyday rhythm with childcare, which we really appreciate.
We feel very lucky to have found Tolu and to know that Miya is with someone who genuinely knows and cares about her.
Therese stepped in to cover childcare for my one-year old for a few weeks while his usual carer was on holiday. She was excellent with her communication and talking through everything with me in advance, including many things I hadn't thought of. She has years of experience and quickly calmed any nerves I had about leaving my child with someone new. She kept my toddler active and exploring new things and he was clearly very comfortable with her in a short space of time.
My son George started with Donna when he was 9 months old which is always a little scary leaving your baby who can’t walk or talk yet, but Donna made the whole transition back to work so easy! So many updates throughout the day and a home away from home for George! He loved going every day and on his days off used to ask for Donna 🤣 truly the loveliest family business who really care about your children! George was with Donna for a year and a half and did so many fun activities and mornings out, he come on so much during his time there and made some lovely friends! George’s comfort to fall asleep was a label on his sleeping bag, so Donna got him his own of the same brand to have at hers so he would feel comfortable, nothing is too much for Donna & Gary! If I had another baby we’d be back without question, thank you for everything ❤️
We were so pleased with finding Monica and she really helped ease our son (and us) into the childcare experience! Her place is warm, cosy and clean and we always felt safe and reassured leaving him there, knowing he’d be well looked after, with minimal TV and lots of healthy, tasty food. Monica does so many activities with the children, both outside the home and indoors, everything with purpose. A firm, steady and loving hand. Occasionally Monica still helps with babysitting which is a lovely way to keep the connection going.
We met Hettie & Sam 2 and a half years. Not only are they the most professional childcare we have come across they really do feel like family.
From lovely warm welcomes in the morning, followed by updates with Pictures throughout the day, to an informative hand over when picking your child up.
They provide amazing homemade cooked lunches for all kids, as well as snacks during the day.
There is never a dull day with Hettie and Sam the kids always seem to be having the best day filled with arts and crafts, baking, outdoor play and lovely walks around the local area. They also throw birthday parties for the kids.
It was one of the hardest goodbyes this year with our son moving on to primary school.
We've had Christine as our one & only childminder for over 3 years! Our two children started with Christine when they were 10 & 11 months old, right through to school! We couldn’t be happier with the care they’ve received. We’ve always felt they were safe, happy and well cared for. Christine has been very flexible when we've needed additional days or hours and we’re so grateful to have had her in our 'village'. We would highly recommend Christine!
My daughter (Ellie) and I feel really pleased to have Sophie (Caroline) as our childcarer for Ellie on certain days whenever there is a need. She has shown immense warmth, care, patience, and professionalism. She fills Ellie with absolute joy and creativity, whether they are playing together at home or exploring the park as well as the village. Ellie absolutely adores her and looks forward to their time together. Beyond providing exceptional care, she is reliable, highly communicative, flexible. I highly recommend anyone looking for top-tier childcare to get in touch with her.

I thought that now would be a good time for review as we are transitioning to nursery and hope this is helping.
We’ve been so happy with the care our little one has received from Ellie.
Ellie has cared for her since she was six months old, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder for her. She has been so caring, patient and understanding, and I have always felt completely confident leaving her in her care.
She has had so many lovely experiences with Ellie, especially during the school holidays when they’ve been out and about visiting different places and doing lots of different activities.
During term time she goes to the library twice a week, soft play once a week and a drop-in playroom once a week. I really like that she gets to do different things and have lots of opportunities to play, learn and socialise.
Most importantly, she absolutely loves being there and is always happy to go. I have complete trust in Ellie and know that she is safe, happy and well cared for.
Now that she is starting nursery, we’re really happy that she will still be with Ellie part-time and during the school holidays. I think that says a lot about how happy we’ve been with her care.
Thank you, Ellie, for everything you’ve done for us and for all the lovely experiences you’ve given her.

Sabella at Little Harmonies has been a great choice for our family. She really took the time to get to know our little girl. The settling in process was really accommodating and tailored to our needs. Her home is beautiful with a big open play space and garden. She's always got fun activities and trips out planned for the children with daily photo updates on the app which is so lovely to see. Our daughter's confidence has grown around other children and we honestly can't fault Sabella, we're so happy with her care for our daughter!
Highly recommend Little Tiddlers (Jo) to any parent looking for a childminder. She has looked after both of my kids; my son has now moved on to primary school, and my daughter is still there. Jo provided a great foundation for my son, his time there was like home away from home and he always looked forward to seeing Jo and Vicki. My daughter is thriving there now and we never have any problems leaving her with Jo, Donna or Vicki it's like handing over my child to another member of the family.
Jo is reliable, professional, and excellent at what she does and couldn't be more happy with the service and setting that she has provided for my children. Everything here is 5* and is well and truly recommended for anybody looking for a childminder service.
We’ve been so happy with the care our children have received from Christine. She is so reliable and has such a lovely way with the children. They’re always happy, settled and feel completely safe in her care.
It’s been amazing to see how much they’ve grown and progressed, and we really feel that Christine's support and encouragement has played a huge part in that. We also really appreciate how proactive Christine is with keeping us up to date with changes in policies and practice, particularly around safeguarding and keeping the children safe.
We’re incredibly grateful for everything Christine does and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, reliable and dedicated childminder.
Sonia has been wonderful with our 4-year-old daughter from the very beginning. She is extremely attentive, which is very important to me, and she remained engaged, playful and caring throughout the entire time she spent with our daughter.
I particularly appreciated how Sonia allowed our daughter to take the lead during play and happily followed along with her ideas and activities. She was patient, attentive and genuinely involved.
I would definitely recommend Sonia as a trustworthy and caring person. She has also kindly offered to take our daughter out for activities, which we really appreciate.
As long as Sonia is available, she will always be our first choice when we need someone to look after our daughter. We would happily come back to her again.
