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 are a family of three with a toddler son and as we have no family around we very much looked for someone who could become a part of our family. Rita has done that and more. She is looking after our baby like he is her own and I couldn’t be more grateful for everything she does for our family. Our son loves her, always happy and have developed so much since Rita started with us. Crafts and developmental plays are part of our daily routine, she prepares lovely food for us all and is always keeping our home clean and tidy. I can always count on her in an emergency, she really is like family to us. We only need her for the mornings and if I could sign her up full time I would. We recommend her very highly to anyone who needs help in the afternoons and always happy to chat about our experience with Rita. If you need a second mum for your little one, you sure found it.

My 15th month old son has been going to Diana’s house a couple days a week 8am - 5pm since the start of the year and he adores her! Her house is clean, cosy and full of toys and activities for the children. My son especially loves playing in her garden and being with other small children.
I have met her other family members during pick up and my son is often snuggled with her young daughter. He is very comfortable at her house.
Diana provides a lot of stability for my son; she is always helping him to learn and cooking him new dishes to try.
I especially like how affectionate and warm she is towards him. It didn’t take long at all before he was climbing into her arms and seeking her out for comfort. I can see she cares a lot for the children she is responsible for.
Diana sends me pictures every day they are together and I see how much fun they have in places like Mote Park & Kent life.
My son often comes home with paintings and things they have made for me which is a really nice gesture.
I feel really fortunate to have secured a space with Diana and I trust her fully to care for my son.

My son has been attending since January and he absolutely loves Laura. She is fantastic with the children and I’m happy leaving my 2 year old with her knowing that it’s like leaving him with family. I would recommend her in a heartbeat if you want your child to enjoy their childcare setting and thrive.

Nouzha has been an absolute blessing for our family. From day one, they welcomed our little one with so much love, care, and kindness. It’s clear how much she truly cares about the children she looks after. Every day is filled with fun, learning, and laughter—and we always feel at ease knowing our child is in such warm, nurturing hands.
We are so grateful for everything Nouzha does. Highly, highly recommended 👌
Our daughter has been with Sarina nearly 2 years now, and she really enjoys going to her setting every day. Sarina provides wide rage of activities and really cares for each child's development. Her own children are so lovely too and it is like having the second home for our daughter. We couldn't be happier!

Karla came over to help me with my 2 year old in the evening so I could focus on his baby brother. She instantly connected with him and he couldn't wait to get down from the table to show her his toys (he even skipped pudding in his impatience do this, which is unheard of!).
Karla was careful to check with me for any important details / routine parameters she needed to work with, and then played with him tirelessly all evening. Despite him being tired from a long day at nursery she kept him so engaged and managed to avoid any "terrible 2" episodes! She was also brilliant at his bedtime and he went down with zero fuss.
I'm really glad to have found Karla and would have no hesitation in recommending her (other than the fact it might mean she's not available when I hope to use her again!)

Sue has been our childminder for over three and a half years, and I honestly don't know what we would have done without her. From the moment my son (now 7) started with her, she has been a consistent, calming, and supportive presence in our lives. More than just a childminder, Sue has become a trusted friend and a cherished part of our extended family.
My son has ADHD, and like many children with additional needs, he can sometimes face challenges with behaviour and focus. Sue has always approached him with such understanding, patience, and kindness. Her experience and calm manner make a world of difference. She knows how to handle tricky moments without ever making him feel different or singled out.
What really stands out is the variety and creativity she brings to each day. From nature walks to hands-on activities in her home, my child is always engaged in something fun and stimulating. Every pickup feels like a little surprise—he’s always excited to tell me what they’ve been up to.
Sue has also been flexible and accommodating whenever we’ve needed to adjust her hours slightly, which has been such a relief as a single mum in medical school. That kind of support is rare and so appreciated.
Most importantly, my son feels completely at home with her. He’s built a bond with Sue that’s incredibly special, like a close aunt he knows he can always count on. He’s free to be his full, energetic, curious self in her care, and I have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands.
If you're looking for someone who is genuinely caring, experienced with additional needs, and truly invested in your child's happiness and development, I can't recommend Sue highly enough.
Steph provides a wonderful, warm and welcoming environment. My son always run me in happy and comes out happy, telling me all about his day with Steph and his friends. A real home from home environment with a relaxed approach to play and learning through play
I was initially very skeptical about leaving my daughter with anyone, but Meedah quickly put all my worries to rest. They looked after my daughter so well, with so much care and attention, that I knew I had made the right choice. My daughter felt safe, happy, and truly enjoyed her time with Meedah. I’m so grateful to have found someone I could trust completely. Highly recommended!

We feel so lucky to have found such an incredible childminder for our son. From the very beginning, Helen has gone above and beyond to create a nurturing, fun, and stimulating environment. Our son has absolutely thrived under her care—his confidence, curiosity, and development have grown so much since being with her.
One of the things we love most about Helen is her passion for getting the children outdoors. Whether it's going on nature walks, exploring local parks, or exciting trips to the zoo, she always finds creative and engaging ways to help them learn and discover the world around them. Her energy, patience, and genuine love for what she does shine through every day.
We couldn’t ask for a better person to look after our little one. She’s truly made a lasting positive impact on our family, and we’re so grateful for everything she does. Our son loves Helen and so do we!!
Juhayra looked after our now almost 2 year old and 4 year old for over three years. Our kids loved and still love her. She's incredibly warm, cares deeply and is excellent at keeping you updated about everything happening with your kids. She never missed a day posting pictures, and they both ran into her arms every morning. Could not recommend her more. We, and our kids, miss her so much since we moved to Surbiton.

Our daughter has been going to Lorraine since she was 10 months old. She has absolutely thrived, and is always so happy at drop off and pick up. Lorraine provides a very warm and nurturing environment, with lots of stimulating activities and daily trips out and about. Our daughter has learnt so much and especially enjoys all of the time they spend outdoors. It is a real home from home, and it is so lovely to see how much our daughter loves going to Lorraine and how much she is developing whilst there.
Lorraine has been looking after our little girl since she was 9 months old. She made us feel so welcome and at ease with leaving our daughter with her. Shes been brilliant with socialising our daughter with other children, doing various activities indoors and outdoors and assisting with her development.
Lorraine cares for the children so much and it shows at drop offs and pick ups the joy on their faces with her. She has such a positive influence on our daughter and we are so grateful to have found such a gem!
My son has been looked after by Ally for the last 2 years. She has picked him up from his School several days a week. They will either walk to her house or drive depending on the weather. She engages with him and talks to him about his day and he enjoys the walk. At her house he feels safe and enjoys playing in the garden or with the other children in her care. Ally always tells me how he has been while he has been with her and if there are any issues. I would recommend Ally, if you are looking for a child minder in the Wallington area.
5* just isn’t enough for Daisy- she deserves 100!! Every morning drop off we are greeted with a warm and friendly welcome! Drop offs are so much easier knowing the environment is a kind and nurturing one!
My little boy (19 months) has been going to Daisy a day and a half every week since January. Both myself and husband as well as family members can’t believe how much he’s come on and how much improvement there has been in his speech. Daisy provides fun packed days, with age appropriate and relevant activities. (Easter/Mother’s Day/Chinese new year- and I’m sure they’ll be plenty more to come throughout the year!)
Daisy is a little further than we wanted to travel but upon meeting her (and her family) we knew she was the only person we’d want to leave our son with- and actually I’d drive another 10 miles if I had to! I never have any quibbles over dropping our child off and am so impressed at the daily communication (via Baby days app). Our son has lunch both days and we always get an update on how he’s eaten as well as naps and nappies logged.
This is fab as it means I can collect him swiftly without asking a million questions.
We are so incredibly happy with Daisy being our childminder and know our son is and will continue to grow and learn as well as being so happy here until he goes to school, there is no one else I’d like to leave him with.
