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.
Lauren has been an amazing help for our family. Our daughter started when she was just 1 and attended daily until recently at age 3 when we had to move house. We will always be grateful for all her help and the help of her wonderful assistants (Laura, Steph, Carol). She always kept me up to day via WhatsApp which I found really reassuring. Also as we lived very close to the Hilltop school she often picked my daughter up and dropped off which was so helpful for us. She was flexible so my daughter could first start with 2 shorter days a week, then 3, 4 longer days and eventually every day, as she really loved it there and my work picked up so we needed more help. I would not hesitate to recommend Lauren/ Medway minding to any parents looking for a wonderful childminder. Thank you so much, we will really miss you xxx Iulia & Kyle

Nagma has been an exceptional childminder for our children, consistently demonstrating professionalism, care, and genuine affection. Her dedication to their well-being is evident in every aspect of her work.
Nagma creates a safe and nurturing environment where our children feel comfortable and secure. She plans a variety of activities that are both educational and entertaining, catering to the diverse interests and developmental stages of each child. Her ability to balance structured routines with free playtime ensures that the children are always engaged and learning.
Nagma is also very attentive to the children’s needs, providing individualized care and support. Whether it’s helping with homework, encouraging creative projects, or facilitating social interactions, she is always there to guide and assist. Her meticulous approach to maintaining a clean and organized space further enhances the children's experience, making it a pleasant and conducive environment for growth.
Our relationship with Nagma is built on trust and open communication. She keeps us informed about our children’s progress, daily activities, and any concerns that may arise. This transparency reassures us that our children are in capable and caring hands.
Nagma is also very receptive to feedback and always willing to accommodate our specific requests or preferences. Her flexibility and understanding make it easy for us to coordinate schedules and address any unforeseen changes. We genuinely feel that she is a partner in our children’s upbringing, working collaboratively with us to ensure their overall development and happiness.
Our children absolutely adore Nagma. They look forward to spending time with her, often expressing excitement about the activities she plans and the fun they have together. Her warm and friendly demeanor makes her approachable, and the children feel comfortable confiding in her and seeking her support.
Nagma has a natural ability to connect with children, making each one feel special and valued. Her positive reinforcement and encouragement help build their confidence and self-esteem. The bond she shares with our children is truly heartwarming, and it is clear that they see her as not just a caregiver, but a friend and mentor.
In summary, Nagma is an outstanding childminder who excels in her role, fosters a strong and supportive relationship with us, and creates a loving and enriching environment for our children. We are incredibly grateful for her and the positive impact she has on our family.
Claire had our son since he turned 9 months and had him until he turned 21 months until we moved house.
Claire was fantastic at all stages of his growth and development. When he first joined as a baby he settled in so quickly and she was so loving and nurturing.
Our son now asks to go to Claire’s all the time. He was always excited to see her in the morning and left smiling in the evening. The activities that he did were really fun and age appropriate. Lots of messy play and crafts that were educational and fun. The facilities she has at her home are fantastic. She would send lots of pictures and updates throughout the day.
Claire always struck the balance of professional and caring perfectly. She really took the time to get to know our child and it made the process of putting my baby in a childcare setting as easy as it could be. I could not recommend her more.

I would like to thank you so much for raising my son from when he was 1 years old till 4 years now. You have taught him alot of things that have contributed to his self esteem and confidence in everything he does. I have witnessed you treating all kids including mine in your care like your own and that's why my son is always excited coming to your place, it's his second home. Your place is kid friendly, with a nice outdoor space for them to play and Freddie is going to miss it. Since we are starting reception, Freddie is going to miss you alot, we are going to miss you alot as a family too but we are very grateful for your support especially the fact that have been absent whilst studying but you filled that gap. Your truly a blessing from GOD for our children. May GOD bless you and your family always and may you never lack. Am so glad I found you on this platform. Thanks 🙏

The care of my son is brilliant and I always have confident he will be looked after well. My son is happy to go there everday and that's all I can ask for. Thank you very much for being with my son.
God bless you all.
Funmi was great at bonding with Luca and responded to his needs in an engaged and loving manner. When Luca started crawling she was there to encourage and watch over him. They both were a match in terms of love of music - Luca started dancing and grooving on music in his seat before even crawling.
We also had Funmi over for occasional babysitting after starting nursery, which was great.
Tina is such wonderful caring woman who understands and provides tailored made care for my children.She’s been a great friend,teacher and a guardian to my 2 kids since signing up with her for her services; September 2023….I will soo recommend her to anyone looking for a good childminder in her proximity.

Theresa looked after my youngest for over a year but unfortunately I had to take her out of Theresa’s care due to changes in my work schedule.
Theresa’s setting is the perfect home away from home with loads of toys/activities and has plenty of space for the little ones to run around.
Theresa is warm, welcoming & great with children. Her home is well maintained & super cosy.
My daughter always asks to see Theresa.

Nanou and her staff are exceptional, their commitment and love for looking after the children are truly noticeable. They are all kind, friendly, and professional. Nanou always finds time if there are any questions or concerns. It is reassuring that every child has a key teacher who gets to know the child a bit better than the others, which I believe, helped my son to settle in and open up (as he is quite reserved).
My son's vocabulary and social skills have improved a lot since he started attending the nursery. They do lots of activities, including cooking, arts, and other fine motor skills activities. There are plenty of toys to play with indoors. Later in the day, they also have a storytime. The children can borrow books from the nursery as well to encourage them to develop a habit of reading (and looking after the books). There is a small outdoor area at the back of the building with plenty of outdoor toys (a slide, a small trampoline, bicycles, toy cars etc.).
I trust them completely and I know that he is always well looked after. I cannot recommend Nanou and her team enough!
There are not enough words to truly describe how amazing Lindsay and Lucy actually are. My daughter absolutely adored it and I'm gutted to be leaving. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since being with these two ladies. Would definitely use them again and would recommend to absolutely everyone. Thank you so much ladies for all your love, kindness and support. You're honestly one of a kind!
My son absolutely loves his time at Noelia’s. He runs in smiling every morning and comes out chatting about his day. Noelia is a very kind, thoughtful and gentle childminder. She genuinely enjoys looking after the children in her care and takes an interest in their learning. We get regular updates and photos throughout the day so I know what they’ve been up to. I would definitely recommend Noelia if you need a childminder :)
Sara
My little girl has been going to Poppies for over 2 years now and I can honestly say it’s the most nurturing and safe space for her! She is so well looked after, she has all of her needs met and I am safe in the knowledge that Junie and Jaegar will look after her.
She always comes out beaming, showing me the crafting she has done during the day. We have never had any issues with her going in, in the mornings.
Junie and Jaegar are very responsive to messages and keep me up to date.
The best part is that my little girl loves Junies cooking and says it’s better than mine!! Would 100% recommend this childminders!
My son started attending when he was about 10 months old (3 years ago), he settled in very quickly. I have received over the year numerous updates on his development and photos which is lovely to receive. The house and atmosphere is like home from home, I have never had issues with Alex wanting to go, sometimes it’s a struggle to get him to leave!! Alex left last week as he is due to start school, I know he is going to miss her very much as on the weekends he is always saying “I want Sarah”. We feel so blessed to have had Sarah in our lives, whilst it’s sad that our time has come to an end, at least we know someone else gets to experience the pure joy she brings to children’s lives.
We are so, so glad that we found Tammy - she is kind, attentive, caring and warm. My son walks in happy every day and I have felt so at ease knowing he is in safe and caring hands. He has been thriving and happy since starting at Tammy's and has made some lovely friendships. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder in the area!
We are pleased with Jennifer. Our son started attending when he was 8 months. And as a new mum, I was so nervous my baby starting childcare and Jennifer helped us a lot. She is very nice person, flexible and we loved the way she looked after our son. She organise playdates with other childminder, she takes them to the playground, and to the Rhyme times sessions every Tuesdays..
Every day is different and we love the way she keeps them entertained, she is caring and good communicator as every time she informs us very well in detail all related to our baby: Jennifer sends regular photos so we can see how his day is going.
She is very organised and very good chef as she prepares really nice home made food. Mateo loves fruits and veggies. He tried almost everything with her: pineapples, blueberries, mango, watermelon, pear, apple, kiwi and some many different yummy dishes always with veggies.
She has individual high chairs , space to sleep, eat and play, outdoor space and good opening hours. We don't regret our choice to choose her and we really going to miss her a lot❤️
I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you so much for looking after Mateo !

Raya attended Catherine’s for just over a year and from the moment she met her it was like a home from home. We would always be kept up to date with photos through the day with the wonderful activities they would be doing from baking cakes, trips the library, soft play, playing in the garden, park trips etc.
Raya was always kept busy and learned so much from attending here.
Any routine Raya is in at home (naps etc) Catherine would always ensure she would do the same at hers.
Leaving Raya I never had any worries as she was always so happy with Catherine and the other children around her.
She really is amazing! Don’t hesitate to contact her if you are looking for a childminder as we will really miss Catherine now Raya is going to nursery.
