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.
Our daughter Eleanore has been in Sarah’s care since my maternity leave ended (she was 13 months old and is now 3).
Eleanore has loved her time with Sarah, her confidence has grown, her eating has hugely improved and her verbal communication improves consistently. Sarah is a brilliant child minder, her environment is a true home from home and she adapts her approach to suit the children’s individual needs and interests.
Sarah herself is supportive, kind, informative and friendly, as soon as we met Sarah, we knew that she was the right person for us. Eleanore struggled with separation anxiety and Sarah made the transition/ settling in period as easy as possible for us all. Sarah provides home cooked meals at lunchtime, with a focus on healthy, whole foods. Eleanore has really enjoyed mealtimes at Sarah’s house.
Sarah’s home is very well equipped, she has a very generous garden with lots of play equipment.
We have just finished with Sarah as we are moving out of the area, it has been a huge wrench to leave, and we will always look back on Eleanore’s time with Sarah positively. Thank you Sarah, you have been brilliant in every way.
My little girl has attended here since she was 18 months old she literally asks to go to school on her days off. As a first time parent I was anxious on which school to choose but knew little cedars was where I wanted to send her as soon as we looked round it is very family orientated and they even have a app where you can check up on your child to see how they are getting on throughout the day. My little girls speech improved so much when she started here they really took the time even right through to toilet training. They are all amazing staff who really take their time to listen if you have any concerns about anything. Maggie will miss you all so much when she starts reception in September.
Little Cedar has been an absolute gem for our family. From the moment we stepped inside, we were struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly and genuinely care about each child. They're always patient, attentive, and go the extra mile to make sure every child feels safe and loved.
The nursery itself is clean, well-maintained, and filled with stimulating activities. Our child has made significant progress in their development, both socially and academically. We're particularly impressed with the emphasis on outdoor play and the variety of educational experiences they offer.
We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery. We highly recommend Little Cedar to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.
Ellie is the most amazing childminder. My son loves being in Ellies care, with a wide range of toys to play with and regular trips to the library and toddler groups, he never gets bored. Nothing is ever too much for Ellie and she always goes above and beyond to make sure my son has the best day. We are so lucky to have her.
We have two children a boy 5 and a girl 8, they were very attached to Sibel and loved the time spent with her. She is an outstanding person, with a very positive energy. Able to grip with the children attention into learning. Exceptional professional, tutor and a friend.
We recommend her if you need someone to leave your children with, while you can enjoy a little time for yourself.
Lucy and Natalie have taken such amazing care of both of my daughters, providing them with a fun, loving and warm home from home environment. They put a lot of love and care into everything they do, and both of our girls have absolutely flourished in their setting. We can’t thank them enough for everything they have done.
I cannot recommend Lorraine enough. I have now sent both of my children to Lorraine and the whole experience has just been wonderful. I am heartbroken that we no longer require her services.
Lorraine treats all the kids equally and all the kids create such a lovely little bond. It’s such a lovely family home and it’s just a joy to drop your kids off each day knowing they are having a fun filled day. The kids are always busy either in the house or they are out at parks and have little days out. Lorraine really does just care so much for the children. The daily pictures and updates are fantastic and really just let me know my kids were enjoying themselves. I cannot recommend Lorraine enough as she really is just a phenomenal childminder and we will miss her massively.
I’ve have known Jess for 14 years and in this time have watched her blossom into an amazing childminder. She has looked after my 3 boys and treats them as her own. They love spending time with their ‘aunty Jess’ and are forever asking to go and play at her house. I couldn’t recommend a better childminder.
We have only been using Tina’s Childminding for one term but it was the best decision we made to use them full time. Our little boy has the best time, and we have not had one day with any tears. The communication is excellent, the food provided is all homemade and actually better than anything we would cook at home. The help, advice and curiosity play that is encouraged is amazing. We would definitely recommend.
I worked with Jess a good few years ago in a nursery setting, where she looked after my son exceptionally well. When Jess left nursery to work within a childminding setting I made the decision to take my son out of nursery and put him back in Jess' care. It was the best decision I made, within a few months my son was thriving and he'd learnt so much. Jess is very caring, loving and communicates well with parents. My son is now in school and still remembers Jess. Jess gave him so many amazing experiences and I'll be forever grateful for her giving him the best start in his education. I'd recommend Jess to anyone she's fab
My 2 year old son has been attending little sunshine for a year now and I couldn’t be happier, Zelly and her team are absolutely fantastic. I literally couldn’t wish for a better service, my son is so happy going and I know he has a lovely time there. My son has allergies and I feel so comfortable with Zelly ensuring his safety around food. Little sunshine also offers school holiday care - my 9 year old absolutely loves attending with his little bro it makes childcare so much simpler! I’m so glad I found little sunshine, my children will be attending here for as long as they can because I honestly believe there is no childcare better. Thank you Zelly for everything you do making our little ones happy.
Rosarii has looked after our little boy for a year and a half now and we couldn’t be happier. We looked at nursery’s and other childminders and it was tough being first time parents as you don’t think anyone can care for your baby as much as you but when we first met Rosarii we instantly warmed to her and so did our boy. Rosarii made us feel so welcome and showed us her setting, explained what she would do with him and that she would provide home cooked meals. We knew then that we wanted to send him to her. She made us feel so at ease and the transition from maternity back to work was seamless.
Rosarii genuinely cares a lot about the children she looks after. Our little boy had some milestone delays due to a health condition and Rosarii would often check in with us to see how appointment’s had gone and if there was anything she could do to help support his development during the time she spent with him. Every week Rosarii is out and about with the children whether it be at a music group, library, nature walk or allotments. Rosarii also sends through pictures and updates of their day. Our little boy has learnt so much from spending time with Rosarii and it’s so nice to see the bond they have together. We would highly recommend Rosarii to everyone and will be sad when the time comes that we need to move onto pre school.
Mel has been looking after my three boys (11, 9 and 6) since August and she has been a godsend. The kids love her, she is incredibly calm, kind, thoughtful and patient. She shows no favourites, making time for each child, playing games and encouraging them to chat away about their day. She is incredibly reliable and her communication is excellent. I would highly recommend her to all.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since September 2024 and loves it, the staff have been amazing getting to know my daughter and what she enjoys doing. My daughter has settled very well and loves the staff and has made some lovely friends that she talks about at home all the time. They always give me detailed summary of her day when she is collected about what she has ate, how long she has napped etc it is very reassuring. They also post on facebook regularly if you permit your child's photo to be used and you can see what they get up to throughout the day
