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.
Flo looked after our 22-month-year-old daughter over the Christmas and New Year period. She was very good at communication and always on time. She also brought great energy and is clearly very experienced when it comes to childcare. We look forward to working with her again in the future.
Alice has been working with our 6 year old daughter for 3 months now, she has helped her so much, her writing and maths have excelled and we are very happy with her progress. Alice has helped build our daughters confidence, she is encouraging, kind funny, very patient and is always implementing news learning ideas to encourage our daughter's learning. We would definitely recommend Alice and are so glad we found her!
We are so lucky to have Zoe as our childminder! Our son has blossomed and developed so much and in so many ways since being with her. As a parent the reassurance of leaving your child with someone like Zoe is unmatched! She is extremely professional whilst also being so very caring, she takes the time to understand and meet the individual needs of all her children and it is very obvious Zoe has a genuine care and passion for children’s education and development. We always say we’ve hit gold when we talk about Zoe, our son loves her and she truly is wonderful!
I have loved this nursery since my son joined the baby room when he was 10months old - he’s now 2 and an half and moved up to the toddler room. In that time we have also welcomed a baby sister into our family - the nursery staff were so helpful during the lead up, preparing my son for the arrival of his baby sister. Making the transition to big-brother-hood that bit easier.
The staff are so accommodating and helpful when I have my hands full with two under two at drop offs and pick ups, helping me get my son in and out of the car - a real testament to how they go above and beyond for the families that that look after.
When navigating tricky toddler behaviours at home the staff are always willing to offer a listening ear and help me brain storm or trouble shoot how to manage the toddler meltdowns.
I love that I have a peace of mind for where I send my son to nursery. At nursery he eats well, sleeps well, moves his body, and LOVES his music sessions with Miss Emma. His confidence and his language is really developing as he has some older friends in the toddler room to learn from. I feel he is emotionally supported in the same way he is supported at home , in a loving, caring, environment. He has made great friends and good bonds with all the staff. In particular his key members of staff.
It’s a big decision where to send your child to nursery, I feel I was supported through my anxious period as a parent about settling him in. I highly recommend this nursery - and would encourage you to check out their next open day if you want to find out more.
We are happy to recommend Ana Pirtac as a nanny. Ana cared for our son for a year during an important stage of his development, introducing him to Italian, teaching him sign language, and supporting milestones such as navigating stairs safely and improving communication. She was reliable, punctual, and attentive, ensuring his space was clean and organized. We believe Ana’s dependability and focus make her a solid choice for families seeking a caregiver!
As a first time mum returning to work after only 5 months, I was undoubtably anxious to leave my baby with anyone however after shopping around and viewing a few, I found Ann on Childcare.co.uk... She took the time to not only speak through her various daily routines/activities with the children but also show me around and share her own experiencing with her now grandchildren. With years of experience and second generation families returning, I just knew I'd found the one. We took time to settle my son in, easing us all in gently to the impeding change and I have zero regrets. My son has now been with Ann coming up to 5 months, enrolled full time and developing daily with the various interactions shared with the other children. Ann takes the time to properly plan the weeks ahead, looking to maximise on the children's motor and cognitive skills. Ann shares updates and photos throughout the day and created the most amazing keepsakes over Christmas for my sons first holidays. I would highly recommend Ann to all, not only is she a home from a home, mimicking the same environment in which my son is already used to, but she continues to work with our ever changing needs and is highly professional. I cannot fault any of Ann's services and at such a fair and honest price, once again taking the time to guide me through free funding and tax free childcare available. I cannot wait to watch how my son continues to learn from Ann's wealth of knowledge, experience and maternal instinct.
Claire cared for my son for approximately 6 months, he thoroughly enjoyed going everyday and I always picked him up with a beaming smile on his face. Claire was very welcoming when we first met and immediately put me at ease about leaving my son with her for the first time, explaining her accreditations, experience she had as well as her beautiful home which seemed accommodating and appropriate setting to care for children, which filled me with confidence. Everyday I received a brief of what my son had done on the sessions and pictures of the fun he had out and about in the community. I would not hesitate in contacting Claire again if I need any further support and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a carer for their Children.
I cannot praise Deborah's childminding services enough. I am leaving a renewed review because, after looking after our eldest son for ~7 years, she has now also taken on our youngest son, who is approaching two.
Her standards are as high as they have always been. As well as handling a combination of full days (for the youngest) and doing school/afterschool club pickups (for the eldest), she maintains a high-energy approach to every day - full of activities, trips out, creative indoor play and everything in between - whilst also finding time to share that experience with us, throughout the day, via messages, pictures and videos.
Her all-round service is excellent and we couldn't imagine life without her; and nor could our boys. Over a period of 7 or so years, one thing I must also point out is how reliable she has been in that time. We can count on Deborah to provide a stable, available childcare setting and we very much do and will continue to!
Great Experience with Olivia - She looked after my newborn overnight once a week and occasionally at the weekends when I had to pop out to shops or do some messages. A massive help when you are in the new born trenches and just need a friendly familiar and trustworthy person to look after your baby. Thank you x
We still can’t believe how lucky we are to have found Laura’s Little Lovlies. The care, attention, love and support that Laura and Steph give to our son is more than we could have imagined from a childcare provider.
Our son has been attending Laura’s Little Lovlies since September 2023 at the age of 14 months. We was nervous handing our son over to someone else to take care of but Laura filled us with so much confidence and ease. Laura sends daily updates/photos and will always keep us informed if she notices a change that is unusual for our son, e.g hasn’t had a poo.
They always have multiple different activities out for the children each day and take them on lots of fun adventures including nature walks, library visits and trips to barleylands.
Laura and Steph have also been really understanding with the additional support that our son has needed with his development and been flexible with us attending multiple hospital appointments.
We notice daily new words and skills that our son has learnt from Laura’s Little Lovlies and have seen a real improvement in his development.
We cannot thank Laura and Steph enough!
Jill has taken care of two of my children from 11 months old and they are now 4 and 2. Jill is like family, she provides a loving and safe environment, had lots of toys and does crafting and baking with them. My daughter has incredible language and I think Jill has really fostered a good learning environment for her. They go out to parks and toddler groups. Im so thankful we found Jill and would highly recommend her to anyone.
My son has been with Anna since this year, we are very pleased with the care. Anna is a very loving and helpful person, my son loves going to her, he also likes to play with other children. The food is always fresh and varied for every day. They have a lot of activities every day, the house is adapted for games and is safe. I am very satisfied and recommend Anna to other parents. Thank you 😊.
We used Luknute while staying in London for a holiday. We were lucky to have found her! Our children loved her and wanted to bring her back to the states with us. We used Luknute for date nights and weekends as she has a full time job during the week. She took the kids to the park, movies, dinner and was knowledgeable about what to do and where to take the kids.

My son has never been so happy to go to nursery before . We’ve changed 2 places before Lina but with her everything is more than perfect. He has such a good development progress since he started and he loves it so do I. Also Lina is such a great person whatever I write is not gonna be enough . Thank you so much. 🙏
We struggled to find good childcare for our eldest. So we were absolutely delighted to discover Janine for our younger two, who she has cared for over the last few years (from age 1 until starting school). I cannot speak highly enough of her. She is everything you could ask for in a childminder.
She is caring, organised and fun. She does a huge variety of activities at her lovely home with the children and also takes them out all over the local area.
She is diligent and safety conscious, meaning you completely trust her with your child. She has a daily diary and photos of what the children have done each day which she shares. The weekly photos that she sends are always a treat to receive.
The children eat really well with Janine. She gets high quality food (organic fruit and veg boxes) and often gives the children what she is making for her own family. Her husband's homemade bread is also a hit. Even when our children don't eat well at home, we can always rely on them eating well at Janine's.
I also love how the children get welcomed into her family. She has two kind and welcoming teenage children who help out during school holidays, the eldest offers a babysitting service too.
Our middle child, who is now at school, always asks to go back to Janine's during school holidays!
Heather has been caring for my daughter since September 2024 for 15 hours a week, and from September 2025, we’re increasing to 30 hours weekly—and I couldn’t be happier with her! She is absolutely lovely, reliable, easy-going, and incredibly clean, which is so reassuring as a parent. As a first-time mum, I’ve found her guidance invaluable.
What truly sets Heather apart is her attentiveness to my daughter’s development. Anytime I have a concern, she focuses on it and ensures everything is addressed with care and professionalism. My daughter adores her—every time we arrive at Heather’s door, she giggles with excitement and looks genuinely happy. Unlike with strangers, where babies might cry, my daughter is completely at ease with Heather.
The communication with Heather is outstanding (10/10!), and I always feel reassured knowing my child is in a safe, clean, and nurturing environment. Heather is also incredibly understanding of my non-standard work hours, which makes things so much easier for me as a working mum.
I highly recommend Heather to any parent looking for a reliable, caring, clean, and flexible childminder. She’s truly amazing!
Angela is an absolutely wonderful childminder. She is kind and caring and my boys love her. We originally looked at quite a few childminders for my middle son and after meeting Angela we were immediately put at ease.
She has a lovely home and great space for the children. There is a also a lovely play area in the garden, which the children really enjoy.
Our son went 2 days a week from 14 months until he went off to preschool. We were then over the moon to start our youngest with Angela when I went back after mat leave.
They go to lots of clubs and trips, play together and have a great day. She has such a lovely bond with the children she looks after and we feel so lucky to have found her for our boys.
She often sends pictures of what they've been up to at the end of the day and sends them home with little crafts and bits which are so sweet and thoughtful.
She definitely has the childcare magic touch and has been amazing with sorting out our sometimes tricky nappers. She is just a calm and wonderful lady and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.

I cannot fault Mrs Chaudhry! My son had such a happy time whenever he was there. I got updated with little videos and photos in the day of him playing or eating.
My son is in the process of getting an ASD diagnosis and she was so brilliant with all of his little quirks and takes it in her stride. I felt so much better sending him to someone who has children of her own and the whole family are so welcoming, warm and caring. It was like sending him to a home away from home! I knew he was in great hands and didn’t worry about him at all through out the day. He didn’t need time to settle at all, he just went straight in and he’s off playing! He went in a happy little boy and came out a happy little boy. What more could you ask for?
I can’t recommend her highly enough. We are moving and will greatly miss her, I don’t think we will find anyone like Mrs Chaudhry- she is truly irreplaceable! Thank you so much for everything.
