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 were incredibly lucky to have found Nicki who cared for our grandchild for a year. From the very beginning, she was so kind, nurturing, and genuinely invested in our grandchild’s happiness and development.
One of the absolute highlights for our grandchild was spending time at the allotment. It made such a lasting impression that it is still talked about often and Nicki is asked about regularly, which speaks volumes about the bond they built.
If you’re a parent looking for a caring, supportive, and enriching environment for your child, I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She has created a space where little ones feel safe, loved, and inspired every day.
Staci cares for my 2-year-old son on Thursdays and Fridays, including his nursery drop-offs, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She is professional, communicates clearly and effectively, and has a warm, nurturing spirit that my son absolutely loves. It’s clear he feels safe and happy with her, and he’s grown a strong bond with her because of the way she treats him. I highly recommend Staci to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring childminder.

Viva has worked with us for two years and has been a fun, kind and caring support for our children as our childcare needs have changed we really hope that another family gets to spend the time with her and get to know her as we have. She is responsible and reliable and really cares for her charges. She is firm but fun and can handle a wide spread of situations working with our SEN son to make him feel comfortable and stable and being there to support on homework and needs for our now teen daughter, plus keeping us all from falling into complete chaos!. We also can't let her go completely - we are keeping her for some days as she is so supportive and helpful!

We can't thank Mrs. Kirsty enough for everything she's done for our little one. Fabiano spent two months at Mrs. Kirsty's home, and it's been wonderful. Her home is cozy and has everything you need to keep the children entertained while they learn. From our first visit, how she showed us her home, talked about her family, and the activities she does with the children, everything has been perfect for us. Thank you so much, Mrs. Kirsty, for being a wonderful childminder for Fabiano.
My 16mo has been going to Fruitful Childcare 3 days a week for 2 months now and I couldn’t be happier with how he’s settled in, thanks to the great effort put in by every member of staff I’ve met.
The facilities are clean and well maintained, and I especially love the easy access to the outdoor space. The littles ones are kept busy and have lots to do.
Nicole has been super supportive throughout the transition period, and it’s genuinely feels like speaking mum to mum. The love and care Nicole and the team show my son is heartwarming. He usually clings to me but happily goes to them in the mornings. They’ve been getting him to try different foods, taught him how to go down to sleep on his own and taught him new words.
They are really responsive to messages during the day. I receive a detailed debrief every evening at pick up and my son leaves happy, which makes me happy! 10/10 would recommend :)

I wholeheartedly recommend Donna as an outstanding childminder. My son has been with Donna for the past two years and will continue to go for another year — a true testament to how happy and settled he is in her care.
Donna is incredibly reliable — in all this time, she has never once called in sick. She always communicates well in advance about any days she needs off, making it easy for me, as working parent to plan ahead. Her flexibility is second to none; when my car broke down, Donna didn’t hesitate to come and collect my son and drop him back home too. It’s this kind of dedication and thoughtfulness that sets her apart — she is always ready to go the extra mile for the wellbeing of the children in her care.
I especially appreciate how observant Donna is when it comes to children’s development — she always keeps me updated and discusses any concerns or milestones, so I feel fully involved in my son’s progress.
She is just simply wonderful! Highly recommend!
Shangeetha has been childminding my son for the last 1 year. He settled with Shangeetha in just 2 days, she is lovely, caring and open to help any sort of behavioural issue. My son loves the activities and the play they do there. My son feels like another home. He also enjoys his meal times with Shangeetha and other children there. she is very flexible in supporting term holidays. The place is very crisp and clean all the time and I cannot think of anyone better than shangeetha in local.
Mi Casa is an extraordinary setting and it's ethos of family, care and learning through natural exploration shine through and is comparable if not better than many larger childcare facilities.
Alex and her team welcome children as family. This care ensures that children immediately feel at ease in Alex's setting and with staff as well as with her wonderful family who also treat the children with love, care and respect.
Alex takes the time to really understand each child as an individual and accordingly, is able to provide tailored care which is replicated across her staffing team.
Alex and her team always make time to provide key updates and helpful advice on the care of the children whenever desired by parents - a key trait of the care provided as it is common to often feel rushed at the end of the day at pick up with no time to feedback on children's progress or how they found the day.
Leaving children in the care of others is hard for any working parent and so this time for feedback is incredibly valued and appreciated.
We are very lucky to have such a lovely childminder and family providing incredible care locally.
My little one loved Iren from the very first day — she was very welcoming and had great rapport with children. We are very satisfied with her services, and most importantly, our boy is doing very well there with the other children. A big thank you for all the work you’ve done — we are very lucky to have met you.
Our little boy has attended Zebra Tots since he was 1 years old and is now leaving a confident and intelligent young boy after spending his crucial years with Zehra and her team.
Zehra has been a massive support to my son over the last few years and has helped with his learning, speech, walking etc. The setting is a fun and happy place for our son, we’ve never had a time where our son has been unhappy or not wanted to spend time there which has been blessing dropping him off.
We are sad that our time with Zebra Tots has came to an end due to our son going to primary school.
Nicole and the team at Fruitful have looked after our son from the age of 6 months, he will be turning 3 this year. They treat every child there like family (special shout out to Shirley who has been his bestie from the beginning) and it is a testament to them how much he looks forward to seeing them in the morning! They keep me updated through the day, do regular activities and outings that we always get a photo/ video of.
They are an amazing group of people that have helped him go from strength to strength and celebrate each milestone with us as well as come up with targets that we can all work on together to help him continue to succeed.
We can’t wait to watch them do the same again with our little one in September and I highly recommend them to anybody that is looking for a family feel childcare solution.

Liza takes care of my son and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. She really goes above and beyond for the children under her care. She makes sure their development is taken care of from every aspect, whether thats nutrition, physical or cognitive. My son is super happy there and is absolutely thriving!
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone as amazing as Sharon, who has become an extension of our family. From day one, she welcomed both our children with open arms, nurturing them with genuine warmth, kindness, and expertise. It's been a blessing to know they were not only safe but really happy in her care.
Home‑from‑home atmosphere. Creative, stimulating activities - always something exciting happening. Every day and after school was fun. Communication is fantastic - lots of updates on how the children are doing. Always love a picture! Sharon is such a lovely, kind and trustworthy, we'd have been lost without her.
Sharon is professional, caring, reliable, and above all, truly cares about the children's happiness, growth, and wellbeing. We highly recommend her to any family seeking not just a childminder, but a loving, safe environment for their children.
We put our 2 year old with Erin as his first experience of being without family and he settled in so quickly. Erin has a dedicated outbuilding for the children and a lovely supportive family to assist in her home. The communication is excellent with updates throughout the day and she always replies to questions outside of her working hours. My son has been on many days out to lots of interesting and fun places and we always enjoy the photos we receive from the day.
Satveer was amazing with my 4-year-old daughter, even on very short notice. She was calm, kind, and instantly made my daughter feel comfortable. They had a lovely time together, and my daughter talked about her for the rest of the day! I wouldn’t hesitate to ask for her help again. Highly recommend!
My daughter went to Sally’s full time from the age of 1, right up to the start of reception - 3 years in total. Sally was absolutely incredible with her. Provided updates throughout the day, made healthy delicious food and worked with us to continue normal routine. My daughter learned key skills and I was kept updated on her development. She would come home regularly with arts and crafts, and baked goods which Sally would make with the children.
It has now been a year since my daughter stopped going to Sally’s and she still talks about her and tells me regularly that she misses going to her home. This is the incredible impact Sally had on my daughter. I highly highly recommend Sallys services to anyone!
