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.
At the early age of 4 month-old I entrusted my baby to the care of Vaishali and I am beyond grateful for the exceptional level of care she provided. From the moment I met her, I knew my baby would be in good hands.
Vaishali demonstrated a remarkable understanding of infant care, ensuring that every aspect of my baby's well-being was carefully attended to. From feeding and nap schedules to gentle playtime activities, she created a nurturing environment that felt like an extension of our own home.
What truly sets Vaishali apart is her genuine love and compassion for the infants under her care. It was evident from the way she interacted with my baby that she truly cares about his happiness and development. She provided the perfect balance of cuddles, stimulation, and affection, fostering a sense of security and trust.
As a parent, one of my biggest concerns was communication, especially when it comes to the care of my babe. I was delighted to find that Vaishali maintained open and transparent communication at all times. She kept me updated throughout the day, providing regular updates and reassuring me that my baby was happy and content.
I cannot recommend Vaishali highly enough to parents seeking compassionate and reliable care for their infants. With her expertise, dedication, and loving approach, she truly embodies the qualities of an exceptional childminder. My baby thrived under her care, and I am forever grateful for the peace of mind she provided.
We had our first meeting with Tracy back in November, both our boys warmed to her straight away. Our eldest said on the way back home 'I like Tracy's house', without any prompting which was what made our decision to choose Tracy as our childminder.
Both of our boys have settled very well and enjoy going to Tracy's house. Tracy treats all of the children as one of her own and is so welcoming. Tracy is very passionate about her job and goes above and beyond for everyone. Tracy gives us daily reports of what they have done, ate, naps and the nitty gritty of their toileting. Our eldest always talks about Tracy and their daily adventures of going to the park, play groups and soft plays. When we collect our youngest from Tracy's he will put his arms out for another cuddle before he leaves, which shows the amazing relationship she has with the children.
Both of our boys have made an amazing relationship with Tracy and we are over the moon with of choice of childminder. We could not ask for a better childminder. Tracy is just an all-round amazing person.
I would 100% recommended Tracy to anyone looking for a childminder.
Before returning to work we knew we wanted Theo to go to a childminder, rather than a nursery, as nursery hours do not really suit the school hours of our other little boy. Tracy was recommended by a friend who's little boy had went there before starting school. I contacted Tracy and she set up a visit at her home. We knew that we wanted Theo to go to Tracy and were glad we managed to get a place with her.
We had our worries when looking for childcare as our son is very high energy and we were worried he wouldn't settle well (or may be too much hard work). Well it turns out all our worries were for nothing as Tracy is the absolute best at what she does. Theo settled straight in and loves going to Tracy 3 days a week.
Tracy sends daily updates on what Theo has been up to, what he has eaten, how long he has napped, along with photos which are lovely to receive. Tracy does so much with them, always out at parks, play groups, soft plays etc and I really feel he is getting so much more than he would have done in a nursery setting.
Tracy is so accommodating and flexible. I have had times where I have needed different days/times and Tracy has always been able to help me in these times. Tracy is such a genuine, lovely person who will do anything for you and the children she looks after.
I would highly recommend Tracy to anyone who is looking for childcare!
I don’t know where to start from but Sushila is a down to earth lady. She is so good with my child who has been going to her from the last two months and I have got nothing to complain. She goes above and beyond for you. Readily available, honest, truthful.
She made extra endeavour to teach my daughter scooter and went and purchased one for her to play with in her garden. Teaching my 3 year old daughter tracing numbers. So yes she is playing but also learning stuff. Sushila has other children also onsite at different times and my daughter loves the company and still does not feel she is being neglected or not getting attention.
Her setting is very clean and tidy. She has a room particularly for children. Her food is also healthy and hygienic what she gives the children.
I would 100% recommended her to any parent.

From day 1 “Ray Ray” and her family have been lovely and welcoming. Our daughter has no issues at drop off which was one of my biggest concerns, and seems to feel so at home in the environment. She manages to nap and eats well there too. We love the updates and our daughter loves the various trips and activities too. Couldn’t have asked for a better childcare setting.
I feel incredibly lucky to have found Anna. She can connect with children in a special way from the very beginning, making the transition into childcare an easy and gentle process. She is always attentive, helpful, respectful, calm, positive and understanding. She provides a loving environment which stimulates curiosity, learning and independence. The activities and the toys are carefully chosen, bearing in mind the age of children and always respecting their interests and following their lead.
She encourages independent play, communication (she has recently taught my child some very useful sign language) and healthy emotional development.
I love the fact that she is truly passionate about early years education and gentle parenting techniques, and she is always reading and studying to know more.
I really couldn't hope to find a better childminder than Anna: I truly recommend her to everyone in need of super-quality childcare.
Claire is a the most incredible childminder.. She was recommended to me with the highest regard, so my expectations were high and I can only say she has surpassed this. She has the best possible demeanor with young kids, she’s calm, smiley, approachable + positive.. Theo always returns from her full of beans, in the best mood and just so happy.
She is also great at communicating with me + I love the updates on what’s app at the end of each day surmising what they did, ate + how much they slept etc.
Every day they do a range of fun things, Claire is very clocked in to what’s happening, playgroups etc, she also takes them on fab trips eg to Aquarium. I just couldn’t ask for more. If you are lucky enough to get a space with Claire thank your lucky stars that while you are back at work, your child is in the best possible place.

My daughter has been with Emma since she has been 11 months old. Emma made us feel very welcoming from the moment we met and as soon as I left, I knew she was the person to have our daughter. She told me the playgroups she attended so I was able to attend them before our daughter started. Our daughter was used to these settings before she actual started with Emma but also she got to know her a bit and the other children that are in Emma's care which made the settling in process so much easier. My daughter is thriving in her care and goes in to her home without a care in the world. We get updates during the day and sometimes a few photos or videos which makes me feel so much better as she is always smiling in them. If you were to chose Emma to be your childminder you would not regret it!
Rachel, or Ray Ray as she is called to the children has been amazing. Having to go back to work just 3 months after having my daughter, I could not have found a more lovely person to look after her. My daughter smiles everytime i drop her off and with collection i get one in return. It has made leaving her worry free as Rachel is a truly amazing person with the childrens needs her full priority. I would highly recommend and love how welcoming she has been to us.
Rachael is incredibly attentive, nurturing, and creative, always engaging our child with fun and educational activities. Her warm and caring nature makes our boy feel right at home. We have complete peace of mind knowing he is in such capable and loving hands. Highly recommend!

Have been going to Jemma since my little girl was 1. We are a year in and the bond Jemma creates with the children is unreal, no child is excluded and is treated as if they are her own. My daughter asks everyday if we’re going to see Jemma and sometimes refuses my help if her ‘Jem Jem’ is in the room!! I dread the day we leave for school
Having had our daughter (who is now almost 6) be with Tracey and Chris from 6 months until 3 years, we were so happy that they had a space for our little boy to join them earlier this year. Not only are they both fantastic with the children, providing home cooked meals, lovely activities and a home away from home environment, but they always ensure communication with us as the parents is prioritised, and work with us to make changes to routines when needed. Honestly couldn't be happier, and we know our little boy is having the best time with them too.
Satveer has been excellent with our daughter since they first met, they both get on well and she's happy to play games, help with any issues they have as well as always being on time and quick to respond. She quickly learnt our daughters bedtime routine and has been easily getting her to sleep in the evenings with no fuss.

Hugely recommend Steph! Steph was my two girls’ nanny for a year when they were age 3 and the youngest was almost 1. Steph was kind and reliable. It’s always hard leaving your little ones, but I always felt like I was leaving them with a relative or friend with Steph. She was great at all the usual childcare things; activities, sleep/nap schedules, healthy meal and snack preparation all whilst following a gentle parenting approach to childcare. Her experience as a childcare provider and mother shone through. It was also delightful coming home to a clean and tidied environment!! Since then, Steph has continued to provide occasional babysitting/wrap-around care which is hugely appreciated as my girls know and trust her.

Steph is brilliant with my toddler, he loves spending time with her and they are always on the go - never a dull moment.
She has been so helpful with his development and been instrumental when implementing my changes with feeding, naps and toileting. I highly recommend her services to anyone.

Rana looked after my baby since she was 10 months and was able to immediately establish a good relationship and bonded very quickly. She is very caring, willing to adapt to the family needs, such as advised sleep schedules, activities and bath times. She also takes my baby to children centre and parks helping her to develop mentally and physically. She prepares healthy nutritious lunch and dinner which really helps me to not have to cook in the evening for the baby. She can soothe my baby to sleep which is sometimes even hard for me, so it's been wonderful to see how Rana has been able to quickly adapt to the baby's sleep association and master it. She has also been flexible on times when I needed her to start earlier or do an extra day.
Rana has given me the confidence to return back to work because I know she will take good care of my baby. She is very capable and have a wealth of experience with children and always considerate of others.

Jo is a great night nurse who understands very well baby's needs and is very knowledgeable when it comes to sleep training. She helped us fix the daily 4AM wake up of my 10 weeks old but also gave us great advice regarding night feeding etc. She is highly professional, reliable and I would 100% recommend her!
Chiara has been looking after my son for almost 2 years and we absolutely love her, and the setting that she has created in her home. His development during his time with Chiara has been brilliant, it's wonderful to see his relationships with her and the other children develop further.
We were put at ease completely from Day 1 with her attitude towards her work and the care and attention that Chiara provides for all of her charges. Her home is welcoming, comforting, and full of fun for our son - including lots of trips to parks, libraries, forest school, and soft play. The children also often play with other childminders/children in the area which I feel is a great opportunity for our son to interact with different children/settings.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder in the area!
