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.
From the moment I dropped my son off at just six months old, I have felt completely at ease with Wendy and Alice. They have truly grown alongside my son and supported him in flourishing in all the best ways. Through their care, he has developed lovely manners, strong friendships, and deep bonds with Wendy’s family that feel very much like his own. In fact, just the other day he referred to them as his “second family,” which says everything.
Now at 3½ and ready for reception, my son has gained so much from his time with Wendy and Alice. He can write his name, has developed early maths skills, and has excellent social skills from playing with children of different ages, especially the little ones.
If you’re looking for childcare that is small, nurturing, full of love, and truly feels like a family setting, this is it. I will be forever grateful to Wendy and Alice for the role they played in helping me raise my son during the first three years of his life.

Shiela truly came to my rescue just two weeks after my baby was born, after a previous maternity nurse didn’t meet expectations. She supported us with night shifts over several weeks and continues to help our family now that my baby is 11 weeks old. She is incredibly gentle and a natural with babies — calm, confident, and reassuring. She shares her opinion based on experience without ever being pushy, and always leaves space for a mum to be a mum. I’ve found her completely trustworthy and always felt my baby was safe, happy, and well cared for with her. She’s also pleasant to be around, very polite, and honestly a bit of a wizard — she can calm him quickly
My daughter Sabby started with Sam just after turning 1, around September 2024. My family had just moved to Milton Keynes that time and I was about to start a new job. So we looked at a few nurseries around the area, after seeing the setup we were not completely at ease with the idea of leaving our daughter in a big setting since she was so young. We were really looking for a place where we know our daughter will be safe and well cared for. Then we found Sam online, we spoke to her and visited her home, Sabby also did settling in sessions first. We felt like this was the perfect setup for our little one , we love the homey feel and the cleanliness of Sam's home. She was also very warm and helped Sabby adjust well.
Sam also is very easy to talk to and flexible when it comes to times and schedules. We really felt like she wanted to help us and other parents find a balance between our schedules. My husband and I have asked Sam a few times to make adjustments and she tries her best to accomodate requests. We were happy and blessed to have found her it means a lot for us to have a safe place for Sabby where she is also loved and well cared for.
Found Lucy through this website and was nervous at the beginning as I’d never left my toddler with anyone else other than a family and close friends. Lucy’s demeanour is kind and gentle and I didn’t expect my little one to take to her as much and as fast as he did. He even cried the first time when she left ❤️.
Very helpful and dependable. Followed our requests exactly.

Lizzie has been working with my kids (2 and 4 year old boys ) and they are pack with energy. She has been able to warm up to them very quickly ,learn their routine and helped them get through it, managed to contain them and be ultra creative with them. Has been keeping them busy and keeping sessions educational.
Grateful for all the help !

I couldn’t ask for a more wonderful setting for both of our children. Carlene has created a fun, nurturing, and loving environment where our children have felt valued, and truly included. They always bounce out at the end of the day full of stories and happy memories from the day.
Carlene has such a welcoming home full of warmth, laughter, and so many opportunities for learning, encouraging curiosity, kindness, and confidence.
My children love being in an environment where they can interact with nature in the garden, their own play room, supervised interaction with family pets and seeing Carlene’s elder children, who are always happy to engage and interact with the children, being playful and sharing the same ethos as Carlene.
Carlene also offers so many opportunities to be part of the wider community and is never shy to take the children on adventures and experience new, exciting places.
Communication is always open and Carlene is always happy to discuss any concerns that may arise, as well as celebrations.
Knowing my children are happy, supported, and thriving here gives me complete peace of mind. I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a caring and inclusive childminder in Carlene.

Dionne is the most nurturing and warm childminder you could ask for. She has cared for both of my children, and they absolutely adore her. I spent months searching for the right childminder and something always felt like it was missing when I met other providers. From the moment I met Dionne, I felt completely at home and knew she was the right person to care for my daughters.
The setting is amazing, you have to see it to believe it, it’s not like other places. Dionne takes them out regularly and we always enjoy getting updates on their days out.
Her husband and children are equally amazing, and they truly make you feel like part of the family. I genuinely cannot recommend this setting enough. It has been a wonderful experience, and I am already dreading the day we have to say goodbye.
You truly won’t regret meeting them.
Megan has been with my family for 2 years, my two sons, now 2 and 4, absolutely adore her. She is always on time, and 100% reliable. We trust her with our children completely and our home. Megan leaves our house like a show home and my boys are always so happy when she comes, they always have the best time with her. We always say she’s like our very own Mary poppins and we adore having her as part of our family.

My little boy has been with Kirsty for over a year now & has been very well cared for by her. He is a happy, confident toddler & Kirsty has played a big part in that. She's been very patient & supportive despite him being more reserved than some of the children there.
She's excellent with her communication & flexibility as a childcare provider. I am able to relax & know he's in good hands. He clearly enjoys his time with her & has a group of friends, constantly saying their names when he's not there! She's also offered to support with potty training which will be a great help when the time comes. Overall I would highly recommend her services.

Nicky has babysit for both our little ones (1 & 4). Friendly, open, brought books for them and facilitated bedtime so we could go out. Followed bedtime routine beautifully and kept LO calm and happy when woke before be got home. Have used multiple times and would recommend. I am sure her maternity nursing is just as wonderful!
We feel so lucky to have found Sharon. She provides such a caring, loving environment and her home is always clean and welcoming. My daughter settled in straight away and genuinely loves going there, which gives me so much peace of mind. Sharon is incredibly professional and very knowledgeable about early years, and I really appreciate the regular updates on how my daughter is doing. I’m more than happy with the care she provides and would highly recommend her to any parent.
Kirby has provided exceptional care for my son, and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful for her support. I initially came to Kirby purely for childcare, unaware that she was also an expert sleep coach. From the very beginning, it was clear how caring, knowledgeable, and attentive she is. She treated my son with genuine warmth and always made his well-being a priority, which gave me complete peace of mind as a parent.
What truly set Kirby apart was the additional support she offered through her sleep coaching. Her guidance was thoughtful, practical, and incredibly reassuring. She didn’t just help my son develop healthier sleep habits—she helped me feel more confident and supported as a mother. Kirby’s ability to combine outstanding childcare with expert sleep coaching is truly special, and the impact she has had on our family has been huge. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for exceptional care and support.
Kirby was an absolute game changer for me during the beginning stages of motherhood. As a new mom, I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure if I was doing things ‘right,’ especially when it came to sleep. Kirby’s calm, compassionate approach immediately put me at ease. She didn’t just give me a plan—she truly listened, reassured me, and supported me every step of the way. Her guidance helped my baby (and me) get better rest, but more importantly, she gave me confidence during such a vulnerable and emotional time. I am so grateful for her support and would recommend her to any new parent without hesitation.
Friendly Individual with a kind and caring personality. The home environment is always clean and calm, healthy meals are provided with snacks. Kids are respected and have a safe space to voice any concerns they have. Play room is always clean and tidy. Have a variety of toys, Age appropriate learning materials given to my children arts and craft activities outdoor walks and fun activities are available. Love our experience with her no concerns at all would definitely recommend her services.

PUBLIC WARNING: I would not recommend this nursery, particularly for children with allergies or medical needs.
Despite my son having a known, documented allergy that I had communicated verbally, in writing, & on their app, he was still given a very serious allergen, as a result my son became unwell, and required medical advice.
Allergy records were not updated in ANY classrooms & not all staff were allergy trained, demonstrating poor management and unsafe practice.
Instead of taking responsibility, the nursery TERMINATED both of my children's places because of their mistake at very short notice after I raised safeguarding concerns, which felt retaliatory and left me without childcare.
This caused significant distress to my children and serious disruption to my work.
This matter has been formally reported to Ofsted and other governing bodies.
Parents should think VERY VERY carefully before entrusting their children to this setting. They will punish you for speaking up!
