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 have just worked with Ellie on a 6 week contract since my newborn was 1.5 weeks in her capacity as a night nurse. Ellie is consistently professional, punctual, and with a much appreciated positive approach that puts two new parents at ease. As someone who likes to plan well in advance, I have greatly appreciated Ellie's willingness to commit to long term planning but also her flexibility when things inevitably change. I also particularly appreciate how easily she fit into the household given her proactive and friendly demeanor. Ellie shares her extensive experience with newborns whenever needed, while at the same time making sure your unique requirements and preferences are met. She has been a great asset in this initial weeks, giving us nights that we look forward to and allowing us to recharge, and I would not hesitate to recommend her.
Wonderful flexibility, especially while settling our child in. It much easier thanks to the incredibly patient and gentle approach. Genuinely kind and caring, and our child always comes home happy after a day filled with a variety of activities and toys. We also really value how clean and well-maintained the setting is. Highly recommended!
Hailey was great. She came and met my two boys a few days before the job just so that they could get used to her. On the day of the sit, they both immediately warmed to her and because they both have ASD this was something I was worried about. But Hailey was so good with both of them and allowed them to take the lead. My youngest has not stopped speaking about her since so we will defo be using her again!! Thanks Hailey!!

I can't thank Grace enough for the incredible support and dedication she has shown in helping my daughter prepare for her SATs. From the very start, she has been attentive to any concerns I’ve had, always going above and beyond to ensure my daughter gets the best possible outcome. What truly sets her apart is her unique way of making learning a positive and confidence-boosting experience. Through her encouragement and affirmations, my daughter has grown so much—not just in her studies but in her self-belief as well. Seeing her approach challenges with newfound confidence is something I’m truly grateful for. On top of that, she always kept me updated with my daughter's progress, which gave me great peace of mind. Thank you, Grace, for your unwavering support and for always believing in her!

Is what my 5 year old is always asking us. She loves Julie’s visit and is so excited when she comes to babysit. Our daughter loves how she comes with a huge bag of books to read her before bed. It’s invaluable knowing that both our 2 and 5 year olds are in safe and
reliable hands. Even when our 2 year old has woken up Julie has settled him back to sleep without issue. We’re so glad to have found Julie!
Amazing childminder , very professional. My son always looks forward to his days at Becki’s. She has been very helpful to me and my family. She treats my son very well and you can tell by how excited he gets whenever he is going to Becki’s. I highly recommend Becki.

I couldn’t be more pleased with DownToEarthChildmind! My child has been with them from 2022 to 2024, and it has been an incredible experience.
The approach to children’s care is so compassionate and thoughtful, and it’s clear they genuinely care about the well-being and growth of every child. From day one, I’ve felt confident and comfortable knowing my child is in such a nurturing environment.The personalized attention, warmth, and respect they show to children make all the difference. It’s not just about care, it’s about creating an atmosphere where kids can flourish. I’m beyond grateful for everything DownToEarthChildmind has done for my family!

We could not be more grateful to have Emily as a babysitter for my 6-month-old. She bonded with the little one instantly and is incredibly warm and attentive to his needs.
I have no issues with her bottle-feeding the baby, changing him, and ensuring he is appropriately dressed for the weather. I have seen her create a fun, nurturing environment when he is awake, and she has taken him for lovely long walks. She is also very attentive to his cues, especially when he shows signs of tiredness, and acts accordingly, creating a restful, soothing environment for him.
Emily is always punctual and communicative, ensuring she has all the information about how the little one has been feeding, sleeping etc. before she starts her shift and providing regular updates on how he is doing during the day.
Emily is not only reliable but also truly understands the needs of babies. She is trustworthy and we highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, competent, and experienced babysitter for their little ones.

Nisha has been absolutely amazing with my 21 month old little girl. We have been with her since my baby was 5 months old. Her kind and thoughtful nature creates such a warm and nurturing environment, and our daughter adores her. Nisha’s gentle approach resonates beautifully with the little ones, making them feel safe, loved, and encouraged.
She provides a fantastic variety of activities, from playdates and outdoor play to colouring and sensory experiences, keeping the children engaged and happy. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about their development and well-being. We couldn’t ask for a better childminder, and we’re so grateful to have found her! Highly recommend Nisha to any parent looking for exceptional care.

Our then 7-month old daughter attended Taty's daycare for 3 months. It was her first time away from us and Taty and her team made everything easy. We felt supported and well cared-for. We will be forever grateful to them. Recommended with no hesitation.

I am very pleased with Ranjit and her team with looking after both of my young children. I can see a huge difference in their confidence and they are really excited to go and play with their friends which allows me to have peace of mind, it’s a lovely and safe environment and the staff are all very caring and have been so wonderful with the transition of both children’s needs. I would totally recommend sending your children here and I’m so glad I found this place! Thank you so much!
We feel so lucky to have such a wonderful childminder! She is incredibly friendly, reliable, and caring, and my twin boys absolutely love spending time with her. The environment she provides is warm and welcoming, with a fantastic play area and a beautiful back garden where the kids have so much fun.
Whether it’s during the school holidays or the daily school runs, I know my boys are in safe and capable hands. She is patient, kind, and always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I couldn’t ask for a better childminder and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional childcare!
Our little one has been attending Nawal’s childcare since just after he turned one. From the very first day Nawal and the team (Eva, Amani and Meena) created a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment that made our little one feel right at home.
The setting is filled with a variety of fun and educational activities that support our son’s growth and development. It’s clear that Nawal, Eva, Amani and Meena truly care about each child’s well-being, always tailoring their approach to individual needs. We love receiving updates and photos, allowing us to see all the exciting things our little one gets up to! It is also in a lovely location right by the park.
We especially appreciate the loving, family-like atmosphere. Our little one is excited to go in the morning and see all his friends and comes home happy, which speaks volumes about the quality of care provided.
Thank you for everything you do!
Sarah has minded our boy girl twins for over a year. They’ve attended her setting four days a week since they were 26 months old, with 1-2 other children present depending on the day.
The children are safe and nurtured at Sarah’s setting. They don’t look back when they walk in the door. She arranges structured activities and free play at home, regular trips to local playgroups and soft play, and trips further afield including Lotherton Hall, Eureka and the Deep. The children are developing so well in the key skill areas and are being prepared well for their next steps. Above all, they have fun and they truly love Sarah and her family.
I was due back to work when my daughter was turning 6 months old and I struggled to find a childcare setting that could take her last minute. I found Hayley on this site, her message responses were quick and she invited me to her house to see it and have a chance to discuss with her what we needed and what she could offer. I was nervous with my daughter being so young but I can tell you it was the best decision we ever made. Hayley has been nothing but incredible. She surpassed all of our expectations, there isn’t anything more that Hayley could do to make our daughter feel welcome and us feel part of the family! She is very informative, sends lot's of pictures and communication throughout the day and is very easy to talk to. My daughter loves Hayley and looked forward to seeing her every-time she went there.
I hold highly recommend Hayley to anybody that is looking for a childminder. Thank you Hayley
I cannot speak highly enough about Nisha from the very first moment we met, it was clear that she have a natural talent for caring for children. Nisha has not only provided a safe and loving environment for my child, but she has also become a trusted extension of our family.
What stands out the most is how Nisha tailors each day to ensure my child is engaged, happy, and learning. Whether it's through creative play, outdoor activities, or educational games, there's never a dull moment. I can see that Nisha genuinely loves what she des, and that enthusiasm shines through in every interaction with my child.
The level of care and attention to detail is truly exceptional. Nisha is incredibly reliable and always keeps me updated on how my child is doing, sharing little anecdotes and milestones that make me feel at ease. I am also particularly grateful for the way she handle any challenges or changes in routine with such patience and understanding.
Most importantly, my child absolutely loves spending time with Nisha. They look forward to every day and have developed a bond with her that I am truly thankful for. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond to ensure both the happiness and well-being of my little one, and Nisha is exactly that person.
I wholeheartedly recommend Nisha to any family seeking a kind, reliable, and nurturing childminder. You can rest assured knowing your child will be in the best hands!

I cannot recommend Nisha highly enough as a childminder. Her kindness, patience, and dedication create a nurturing environment where children truly thrive. She consistently communicates updates by sending pictures of my child engaged in fun and educational activities, which gives me peace of mind. Any concerns I had about my child's eating or sleeping habits were promptly addressed with thoughtful feedback and detailed updates.
What stood out most is how comfortable and safe my child felt in her care. Despite being quiet and reserved when attending nursery, he flourished under Nisha's guidance, forming bonds and friendships with other children. Additionally, when his speech development was slower than expected, Nisha went above and beyond, tailoring activities to help improve his communication skills and putting my concerns at ease.
Nisha's commitment to each child's individual needs is exceptional, and I am truly grateful for the positive impact she has had on my child’s development.
