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.
Jess is the most amazing nanny to our little boy. She is so kind and caring with him and keeps him entertained all day with a range of activities - reading, playing, taking him on walks, going to the library or toddlers groups, or taking him to garden centres etc. She is so patient with him and she seems to really care. It is evident she has a lot of experience in childcare and we never worry when she is caring for him. Our son settles quickly with her every day and we can hear him happily playing and laughing with her and enjoying himself. Jess has been especially flexible and accommodating to our needs. She leaves the house tidy after her visits and our son is always clean. Unfortunately we are relocating so we can’t continue having Jess as his nanny anymore but I would love to have kept her on and she will be very missed. I can’t recommend her enough and just wish we had found her so much sooner!
We absolutely love Sara and Emma and the service they provide for our daughter. She is almost 2 now; she adores going there and has done since she turned 9 months old. I’m always updated throughout the day, they reassure us with any developmental questions and our little girl is happy as ever when she’s there. She always asked for “Sara” and “Emma”! We couldn’t have a chosen a better provider
Sarah was our emergency childminder for a few days as my son 12 m o was recovering from a nasty bug. I felt very comfortable with Sarah caring for our baby, she played with him between naps, ensured he was well fed, put him to sleep and took him out for a walk… I could hear him „talking” cheerfully back at her and that made me smile. Sarah was considerate, punctual, a lovely person, no stress, no pressure, really nice and easy to trust her with our precious boy.

My daughter likes Mandeep.She cares incredibly for my daughter.Very careful and kind. When I had questions about my daughter she answered me immediately.
All the best
We we’re introduced to Claire back in 2018 by a good friend who had been using her as their childminder for several years.
We liked her immediately and our daughter loved every day she was in Claire’s care. She started with her at 8 months and only left to start pre-school. Her younger brother then started with her two years later.
We receive lovely updates as to the varied things they get up to. They also make many more friends than just those just in Claire’s care due to Claire’s network and sociable, fun yet structured approach.
All three of our children think of her as an Auntie and she still spends time with them all. We feel very lucky to have been introduced all those years ago.

My 2 yr old daughter is just so happy and is thriving. Jessica is v experienced and has a natural talent and empathy with children. She is v observant about my granddaughters development and keeps me informed. Life is never boring for the children and she takes them on so many activities. I would highly recommend Jessica

Birkenshaw Blossoms Childcare is absolutely fantastic and I recommend Amy highly.
Amy currently supports with wrap around care with my 3 soon to be 4 year old and I would be lost without her. My little boy has an amazing time with Amy, doing activities and playing with his friends. Amy really listens and offers a tailored service which has made me feel at ease whilst I am working.
I would highly recommend Amy at Birkenshaw Blossoms Childcare to everyone.
We’re lucky enough to have our little boy attend Gwen’s childminding. He started with Gwen at 13 months and as two first time parents returning to work we were put at ease and supported so much as he settled into the new environment away from us. Gwen is empathetic, understanding, open and considerate of the challenge of leaving your child in childcare . She has open and consistent lines of communication and shares any concerns she has about our wee boy while he is in her care, she sends lovely pictures of the activities he has explored on outings or at home. She has made her childminding business a real home away from home and it’s such a good feeling to know he is in safe hands when not with us. Couldn’t recommend Gwen more
Hannah looked after both my children over 3 years and I cannot praise her and her approach to childcare highly enough. She’s always out with the children doing fun things, from visits to places like National Trust/RHS Wisley/Windsor Great Park, to Legoland and Chessington, and lots gardens, parks and playgrounds. Hannah really gets to know each child and what they enjoy, and what they need to grow and learn. Her approach is creative and nature focused where the children are outside as much as possible. I don’t think many other childminders offer the same level of experience. Hannah’s communication with parents is also excellent. Any family would be lucky to work with her.
I cannot recommend Hibanna enough! From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff are incredibly attentive, caring, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of every child.
I am a First time mother and it was extremely worrying for me to send my child to nursey when he does not speak but I had to go back to work. Communication is excellent, with regular updates and photos that give me peace of mind and allow me to feel involved in my child’s day-to-day activities. They have made myself and my child feel safe, loved and supported through the process.
The facilities are top-notch—bright, clean, and filled with age-appropriate toys and learning materials. The outdoor play area is a dream come true for little ones, offering plenty of space to explore and enjoy fresh air.
What truly sets this nursery apart is the nurturing environment. My child absolutely loves attending and has blossomed both socially and academically. The curriculum strikes the perfect balance between play and education, fostering creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning.
Thank you to the incredible team at Hibanna for providing such a safe, fun, and stimulating environment. It’s clear that you love what you do, and it makes all the difference!
Since starting last summer from the very start Little Gems have been amazing they made me feel welcome as my little ones unique situation was very hard to explain as me being her special guardian but they were incredible at listening and understanding her needs. They accommodated her completely. She is very settled and happy and has made friends and great memories. I am happy I chose this setting for her. I look forward to watching her develop there. A big thank you to both Gem and Charlotte.
Where do we start with Rachael,
A beautiful person who cares for your children like they are her own,
Our son had the most wonderful time in her care and starting as a very anxious child with some separation issues she calmly and lovingly worked through them with us.
We couldn’t have asked for better care or support and we are eternally grateful to her and for what she has done for us and for all her littles she cares for.

It’s very hard to put into words just how amazing Little Trees has been, and is for our daughter. Theresa excels at all she does from her setting, communication and activity planning ensuring everything is designed around education, development and more importantly fun. The best way of knowing your child is happy is when they ask every day if they are going to Theresa’s even on a weekend!!
Diana has been amazing and very caring for both of my children. I feel so comfortable leaving both children with her. She does a range of activities with the children each day and gives a detailed description of their day at pick up and sends photos which I really appreciate.
Diana is very open and honest and works with us with any issues surrounding the children either within the setting or at home.
I would highly recommend Diana.
Blerina has been absolutely amazing, consistently exceeding our expectations and going the extra mile. Not only is my son cared for to the highest standards, but Blerina is also incredibly considerate of our family's needs, always offering support in any way she can. I truly appreciate her hard work and can only repay her with my sincere prayers. I always feel at ease when dropping my son off, knowing he is in such good hands. He comes home happy and full of energy every day. I wholeheartedly recommend this service – it has truly been a blessing in my life. Thank you, Blerina.
I have been using Jackie for 18 months, since July 2023 when my son was 15 months old, he started with just 1 day per week but this has increased to 3 days per week. What was a big positive for us was that I could drop him off at 7am so it didn’t interfere much with work and we couldn’t find any other childminders or nurseries that allowed that early morning drop off. Jackie is also accommodating with extra days, some at short notice, if required.
Jackie’s setting is a homely environment and she has been very welcoming and accommodating since the start. We immediately took a liking to Jackie when we met her the first time, even so that we didn’t meet any other childminders and asked to sign up ASAP. It was nice to know that my son was going from a home to home setting. Jackie is very motivated in progressing milestones and giving praise when required. She does lots of arts and crafts for all different cultural holidays, remembers keys dates throughout the year and makes an effort to encourage my son to join in on making little gifts for family members. I get updates on his progress, as well as photos of his activities. Jackie takes the children to a play group, days out to the park or woods for exploring which my son gets very excited about. There are home cooked meals prepared each day and Jackie has managed to get my son to eat some foods he refuses to eat at home!
Invoices are sent with clear explanation about how the costs are worked out with the government funding and Jackie is happy to answer any questions if required.
We are reluctantly having to move childcare due to moving house and the logistics not being feasible anymore. We are gutted to be leaving as my son loves going to Jackie’s house. He speaks at home about Jackie and all the people he meets when visiting there.
We will all miss Jackie very much, can’t recommend her enough.
Lou and Adam are fun, loving and caring people. My son has been looked after by them since he was 10 months old and he has developed and learnt so much. At 2.5 years old, he is a fantastic talker and has great confidence. He always has a great time with Lou and Adam and absolutely adores their 2 younger children too. Not only have Lou and Adam become my son’s second home, but they’ve also become our friends :)

Harley is a very caring and hands-on babysitter. She's looked after my daughter on an occasional basis; my daughter enjoys being around Harley. It's good to know that my child is in safe hands when I am not around. I am really happy with her service. If you are looking for a babysitter, do not hesitate to contact Harley.
