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.
Both of my children have been to Vicki, my son from the age of 1, and then a few years later my daughter. My husband and I are delighted that we found her. She has been fantastic with both of them. It is always a difficult time when your child first goes to childcare, but Vicki made the process so easy for all of us, with regular updates in a private Whatsapp chat, and regular photos so we could see what they had been up to. Vicki provides a range of activities for the children, from arts and crafts to baking, gardening, and yoga. She takes the children outside every day, and lets them experience different weathers and temperatures, and seasonal activities. She takes them to different places like the library, cafes, and toddler groups. My children always came home with exciting stories to tell. Thank you Vicki, you have been wonderful!
Emma has been looking after my son since he was 12 months old.
Her home is so warm and welcoming, I knew as soon as I stepped foot in there and met Emma she was the one to look after my son, and I was 100% right.
She takes him out every day to playgroup or soft play. My son loves it but at times he can get easily overwhelmed and I know through her regular updates she has picked up on this and gives him a little extra care when needed which is lovely and so reassuring.
My son always talks about Emma and the other children when he’s not with them and is so excited when I tell him he’s going to see them.
I’m very pleased with Emma, she is all round the best :)

We worked Brenda for a few nights a week while our baby was 5-9 weeks old. Brenda gave us lots of confidence in how to manage overnight as first time parents, as well as spotting the severity of her reflux leading to a proper diagnosis. We learned a lot from watching Brenda interact with our daughter - she is a bit magic in how she creates a calm baby!
So after a horrendous incident that happened at a previous childminders with my daughter, I had to look for another childminder and found Little Starz.
Nothing has ever been too much for her and my daughter has been so much happier since starting here. She is a kind & caring childminder who cares deeply for the children who are in her care. My daughter has made friends there and has never had anything negative to say, she always comes out with the positive and can’t wait to tell me about her afternoon/evening when I’ve finished work.

Claire looked after our son from when he was 2.5 to 5 years old. I cannot praise her enough. It took us ages to choose a child minder and we visited various ones in the area, eventually deciding on Claire. From the second we met her, her warmth of personality shone through, along with a fun energy and we knew she was the right choice. She is such a kind and caring soul and that is immediately obvious. Claire not only focused on keeping our son safe and entertained, but she also organised fun activities that stimulated his imagination and learning. Whether it was crafting, storytelling, or outdoor adventures, she always kept things fresh and exciting.
Her ability to connect with children is truly remarkable and our son absolutely adored her! Claire's engaging personality made every moment special, and her thoughtful approach to each child's needs ensured our son felt loved and supported.
She communicated with us regularly, sharing highlights of his day and ensuring we were always in the loop. If you're looking for someone who is not just a child minder but a true caregiver and friend to your child, look no further than Claire! She's a gem, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her in our son's life.
My 4-year-old has been with Naila for the past 18 months, and i honestly couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, Nailah has shown incredible patience, understanding, and genuine care—especially in supporting my child’s SEN needs and speech development.
I have seen such positive progress in my child’s confidence and overall development. The environment is calm, nurturing, and well-structured, and my child feels safe, happy, and supported every day.
Communication has always been excellent, and i feel fully involved and reassured. Nailah cooks a range of meals throughout the week and feeds my son well trying new dishes, my son absolutely loves Nailah
Adele is an absolutely fantastic childminder. She has been looking after our son since he was 11 months old. I was nervous about his settling in as he was not the most confident and Adele managed this perfectly. She was so reassuring and kept me updated all the time with his settling plan. He is incredibly happy in her setting and goes to her with open arms which is so reassuring to see as a parent.
Adele takes the kids on lots of outings, they have trips to toddler groups, out to the park, on the bus, there’s a lot of exposure they get and they have so much fun together.
He is always extremely well fed and again Adele provided a brilliant varied diet for him so always nice to hear and see how well he’s been eating.
In my experience Adele has always provided excellent communication which again is really reassuring as a parent.
I’m so incredibly happy with the care our son receives and would recommend Adele’s setting wholeheartedly.

I couldn’t be happier with Svetlana’s childminding. From day 1 she created safe, loving and stimulating environment where my both boys (6 and 4 yearls old) felt comfortable and confident. Both of them were always excited to go as Sveta kept them occupied with various activities throughout the day, including trips to the park which they loved. The most amazing thing is that I always kept up to date with their day, activities and food they ate as I would get lots of pictures on the day. I highly recommend this childminder to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and genuinely passionate about caring for children.
We found Klaire after pulling our youngest out of nursery and I can hand on my heart say this was the best decision. Klaire is fantastic with the children in her care. The home is beautiful with a dedicated safe play room, full of age appropriate toys and learning activities and an enclosed rear garden with outdoor provisions.
My little boy is always full of fun stories from his days at Klaires and is always content and excited to go each morning. Klaire really brought out his confidence and his speech within a very short time of going.
The opportunities that Klaire provides on a daily basis are full of fun, learning and creativity. Plenty of social interactions with all of the trips out, play groups, parks, zoo trips, shops and play dates with other childminders and their children (to name a few)
I have been fully informed every day of their activities, development and their wellness. Plenty of updates with photos and LOTS of masterpieces of art work coming home.
Klaire and her family have all been very welcoming and have treat my child like he is apart of their own family.
I only wish I had found Klaire with my older 2 and I am already dreading leaving at the end of summer, ready for school.
Thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience with you.
Famella looked after our three kids after school, meaning she cooked, drove them to swimming classes and built a relationship with each of them. She was a wonderful safe pair of hands because every week was different but she was always reliable, punctual and not phased by our changing plans. We'd thoroughly recommend her for anyone looking for a calm, easy addition to their household.
Anisha is lovely and has looked after both my 4 year old son and 8 year old daughter, ensuring a happy, safe environment, which is clean, tidy and very homely. My children have always come home with big smiles on their faces and happy stories to tell about their time with Anisha. I feel relaxed in the knowledge that my children are being cared for by Anisha and wouldn’t go to anybody else to look after them!
Joanne has provided excellent care for my children and has been a huge support to our family. She is caring, calm, and very attentive to the children’s individual needs. My children felt safe and happy with her, and I always felt reassured knowing they were well looked after. Joanne communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about the families she works with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare
Anisha is just great. She looked after my 3 year old multiple times over several weeks and was very nurturing and caring. Anisha has a gentle way with little ones, ensuring they're always safe and happy. I'd definitely recommend her to any parent looking for help with childcare!

Paint the rainbow is amazing! My children love it, always beaming smile at drop off and never want to leave! Shiree and Chanel are so lovely, full of cuddles and laughter. Shiree is so organised and attentive, planning daily fun activities, educational circle time and the most delicious home cooked meals. Overall the childcare is wonderful. The staff accommodate for each child’s needs and varying personalities whilst providing parents with regular updates. I feel very fortunate to have found Paint the Rainbow and would recommend to any parents!

I am very happy with Rashi Childminder. My child is 6 years old, and this was his first time going to a childminder during the school holidays. At first, it was difficult, but now I am completely stress-free because he loves going to Rashi’s place.
In my opinion, Rashi is the best at looking after children. She is kind, patient, and very professional. My child always felt safe and comfortable, and I could see real progress in his confidence and learning.
Communication was excellent. I was always kept informed about daily activities and received photos and videos showing how much my child was enjoying his time. I would highly recommend Rashi to any parent looking for a reliable and caring childminder.
As a first time mom, I was so nervous leaving my son, but Carla and Luis made me feel at ease from the very first settling in day. They have a brilliant set up with lots of toys and activities for the children to enjoys, and a very safe environment. Great home cooked meals/ snacks and always flexible and accommodating. Great communication with regular updates with pictures and videos everyday. They cared for Jackson as if their own. Jackson loved them and enjoyed everyday with them. You cannot get any better!
We unfortunately moved house and out of the area and that is the only reason we had to move Jackson otherwise we would have stayed until he was ready for school. Truly felt like home from home and I will be forever grateful for their care. I would recommend 100% without a doubt.
I can't express enough how grateful we are for the exceptional care that Ellie has provided for our family. From the very first time we met, Ellie put us at ease with her warm personality and natural ability to connect with our children. She has been a constant source of joy for our kids.
Whether it's preparing fun or educational activities, ensuring our children stay on a routine, or providing thoughtful updates throughout the day, she consistently exceeds our expectations. She doesn't just watch over our kids; she’s a positive role model, helping them grow, learn, and develop in meaningful ways.
We couldn’t be more grateful for the care and love she gives our three children. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a warm, caring, and reliable nanny or babysitter. She is a gem!

Thank you for being the best child minder ever
You don't understand how happy I feel you having him and seeing how happy he is to be with you.
Love seeing all the activities you do with him and teaching him Portuguese
He's looking forward to seeing you this week after the Christmas holiday
