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 really couldn’t ask for more from a childminder. From day one our son has been happy and comfortable with Estelle. He smiles with delight when we mention her name at home and when he sets off for her house on a Monday morning. It’s heartwarming how happy he is on his days with her and that he will no doubt have wonderful adventures in nature or cultural visits in central London. Estelle involves the children in the practicalities of the day too - shopping for lunch at the local butcher, preparing healthy fresh meals, tidying the kitchen and brushing their own teeth. Our son comes home looking bright and well each day. Estelle speaks French and English so already at the age of 3 our son has some understanding of a second language. Estelle provides a rich, nurturing, respectful and fun environment and we know how extremely lucky we are to have found her.
We are extremely grateful to have found Seda as our maternity nurse. She has been a very special member of our family over the Christmas period. From the very beginning, she has been highly professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. As first-time parents, having someone with her experience and calm confidence has given us tremendous peace of mind.
Our baby is now three months old, and it is heart-warming to see how he smiles at her every morning when she arrives, which speaks volumes about the bond and trust she has built with him. Seda’s background working in a NICU unit made us feel completely secure, especially when we needed to step out knowing our baby was in expert hands.
Seda consistently goes above and beyond in her work. She is always attentive and proactive, whether that means ensuring proper tummy time, engaging our baby in developmental activities, or keeping his nursing and care area organised and clean.
She is warm, dedicated, and truly exceptional. We would recommend Seda without hesitation to any family looking for a highly skilled, compassionate, and trustworthy maternity nurse.

Gosia has been absolutely amazing for both me and my son. From the very beginning, she helped me feel calm, reassured, and able to trust someone with my child, which was something I really struggled with as a mum. Her kindness, patience, and understanding made such a big difference to my confidence and peace of mind.
She not only cared for my son but also supported me as a mother, helping me see that it is okay to take time for myself without feeling guilty. This support meant more to me than I can express.
Although my son could sometimes be a little moody, he truly loved being with Gosia. He learned so much during his time with her, became more independent, and grew comfortable being away from me for a few hours. I am incredibly grateful for the care, warmth, and encouragement she gave us both and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a loving and supportive childminder. <3
Victoria has been looking after my three-year-old son for the last two years and I’ve seen such a great improvement in how he interacts with other children. He never wants to leave her setting and whenever I drop him there and pick him up, he has the biggest smile on his face. She really is one in a million.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our son has received with Mahalah. He has been with her since September and she has been absolutely amazing. From the very beginning she showed such empathy and understanding towards my emotions around handing my little boy over at such a young age, which made the transition so much easier. She has made him feel truly welcomed, safe, and well cared for, always accommodating his needs as a young baby. Her communication is excellent and reassuring, and it gives us real peace of mind knowing he is in such caring hands.

It is with the highest regard that we write this review for Karolina, who was our nanny from March 2020 to December 2022.
Karolina joined us to look after our one year old son as I returned back to full-time work after 12 months maternity leave. She also helped provide wrap-around care for our then three and a half year old son too.
What we didn’t realise when we hired Karolina, is that she would join just as the world shifted in March 2020, and we suddenly found ourselves navigating Covid and the intense demands of lockdown together. Our professional relationship with Karolina very quickly transitioned into a lasting personal friendship, and she became an indispensable part of our family during one of the most challenging, yet formative periods. We felt incredibly lucky to have found her!
In uncertain times, Karolina’s calm presence was a constant source of support and stability. She is exceptionally efficient, organised and has impeccable time management skills, ensuring a smooth-running household even in chaos!
Throughout her time with us, Karolina expertly guided us through various transitions with the boys including breastfeeding, sleep routines, teething and our eldest’s move from nursery to ‘big school.’
Karolina balances her deeply kind and compassionate nature with an effective ability to set and maintain necessary boundaries. This ensured the boys felt both nurtured and secure in a structured environment.
Karolina knows Stoke Newington and Hackney extremely well with knowledge of a variety of classes and all the kid’s hotspots. Come rain or shine, she ensured the boys had lots of time outdoors. She is very well known in the area and is very highly sought after—rightfully so.
A decision for me to take a career break to spend more time with the boys meant we no longer needed Karolina. We were very sad to see her go. Although, in many ways, she never left! We are still friends with Karolina and her lovely son, Bruno; and we still see them regularly for catch-ups, play dates, sleepover’s and special celebrations (birthdays, Halloween etc).
Karolina will always be a part of our lives going forward. She is a rare gem, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her as their nanny.
Very happy to provide further info as requested.
Claire is absolutely amazing. She drops my daughter at school a few mornings a week and my daughter is always happy to see Claire. She is always approachable, professional and provides a variety of activities for my daughter to do before school. Claire goes above and beyond and has even spent her free time organising treats for the children she looks after. Would definitely recommend Claire to all.
We were lucky enough to find Liz after struggling for years to get our 2.5yr old son to sleep through the night, or at least to stop waking every three hours...! The wakes were so regular that we were taking turns to sleep on his floor.
We got Liz to stay at ours for three nights, she based herself in a spare room, monitored all the wakings and guided me on how best to respond each time. My son is incredibly strong willed and persistent, he tried every trick in the book multiple times to get me to cuddle him to sleep, but Liz's agile methodology and encouragement eventually paid off - he now sleeps through pretty much every night.
After the in person sessions Liz gave us an extraordinary amount of additional help by text, to iron out the issues and prevent any relapses.
Liz is wonderfully kind, caring and trustworthy person, and her bespoke approach is very effective. We're very grateful to her for all the help and the outcome that we got to.
Marta has been an amazing childminder for our family and I honestly don’t know what we’d do without her. From the very first settling-in session, she made my child feel safe, welcome and excited to come back. Her home is warm, clean and organised, with lots of activities planned each day – from crafts and baking to outdoor play and local trips. Marta’s communication is excellent; she always lets us know how the day has gone and shares little updates and photos, which really puts my mind at ease. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my child’s confidence, speech and social skills since starting with her. She is reliable, flexible when we’ve needed extra help, and clearly loves what she does. I would highly recommend Marta to any parent looking for a caring, trustworthy and professional childminder.
From the bottom of our hearts, Feifei has been the best thing that could have happened to our baby. We have been with her for over a year, and not a single day has gone by where we haven’t felt incredibly grateful to have found her.
Leaving your child with someone else is one of the hardest things a parent can do, but Feifei made that fear disappear almost instantly. She made us feel completely safe, reassured, and at peace, because we knew our baby was not just being looked after — but truly loved. The bond she has with our child is so special, and seeing how happy and secure our baby is with her means everything to us.
The care Feifei gives goes far beyond her role as a childminder. She pours her heart into what she does. Our baby has learned and grown so much under her care — emotionally, socially, and developmentally. We’ve seen confidence, curiosity, and joy blossom, and we know that is because of the nurturing, patience, and encouragement Feifei gives every single day.
She treats our baby as if they were her own, with so much warmth, kindness, and attention. Trusting someone with your child is the biggest trust you can give, and Feifei has earned ours completely. We will forever be thankful for the love, care, and safety she has given our family. We honestly could not recommend her highly enough — she is truly one in a million.

Belén cared for my daughter since she was 10 months until 2.5 years old, and she became a key part of our family. My daughter adored her and still does, she is now 4 and we remain in touch.
Belén is caring, reliable, and proactive. She is warm and affectionate, yet confident in setting boundaries, which helped my daughter feel both safe and well guided. She brought energy, patience, and genuine kindness to her role, and I always felt complete trust in her. I recommend Belén wholeheartedly.
We are so grateful for the care our two children receive. It truly feels like a home from home — warm, nurturing, and welcoming. Lauren is kind, attentive, and genuinely caring, and both of our children are happy, settled, and thriving. We have complete trust and would highly recommend Lauren to any family.
The food is excellent and they really enjoy every meal.
We were so pleased to find Isabella and to have her take care of our little son since he was 1 year old. From the very beginning, she made us feel confident and supported, and our son felt safe, loved, and understood.
Belli Bellissimi is truly the best environment to leave your little one. It’s cozy, warm, and feels much more like a family home than a chaotic nursery. The small group size (maximum 10 children) makes a huge difference—especially for a child who has to leave home early—because every child gets real attention, calm routines, and genuine care.
We were honestly amazed by the quality of the education Isabella provides. The activities are always thoughtful, varied, and age-appropriate—designed to help children learn, explore, and build confidence in a gentle way. And we especially appreciated the quality of the food: fresh, well-prepared, and truly suitable for little ones. Unfortunately, many nurseries serve poor-quality food, and it’s heartbreaking to see that happening so often. With Isabella, we always felt reassured that our son was eating properly and healthily.
Isabella is like a mother to the children: incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, but also a very good educator. She helped our son grow with gentle guidance and clear routines, and she was always by our side when we needed extra support. She even visited us when necessary—during potty training, for example, she was a big help and made the whole process so much easier for us.
We truly recommend Isabella with all our hearts. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and experienced, Isabella is the best person you could hope to find.

Jennifer was a great babysitter. I was in Edinburgh for a trip with my baby and needed a last minute sitter. She initially put my mind at ease by sending over her work documents and we had a chat on the phone to go through all the information she needed.
On the night she was punctual and kept me updated throughout. She was flexible with timings and offered to help out more over the weekend.
Jennifer is a lovely babysitter and I would highly recommend her!
Bella has looked after our son for the past two years, and we can say without hesitation that she is an absolutely exceptional childminder in every sense. From the very beginning, she created a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where our son felt happy, secure, and truly cared for.
Bella is incredibly attentive to each child’s individual needs and development. She supported our son’s emotional, social, and educational growth with patience, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm. Her activities are thoughtful and engaging, and it’s clear how much effort she puts into helping the children learn through play and exploration.
What truly sets Bella apart is her professionalism combined with her kindness. Communication has always been excellent, and we’ve had complete trust and peace of mind knowing our son was in her care. We feel extremely lucky to have had Bella as our childminder and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for outstanding childcare.
Kate came and nannied for us when my partner was unwell to look after our 9 month old daughter. Kate is calm and caring and helped us get our daughter eating solid foods (she is now unstoppable but had previously shown no interest). Kate advised and help establish routines, took our daughter to playgroups and singing and reading groups at the library. She was an absolute godsend and I thoroughly recommend her
My sister was in Lewes visiting inlaws for Christmas when her and her 4 month old twins were struck with bad flu. Like a Christmas miracle Nicky was available within 24 hrs to work overnight look after the boys, give them their medication on time and generally restore wellbeing and support to the entire family. From the first moment she was professional and caring and put everyone at ease. The help meant so much and really saved the day until everyone was back on their feet. Really can't thank or praise her enough.
