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 honestly can't recommend Aella highly enough.
We needed someone at very late notice as our five year old daughter got sick the day I went back to work after maternity leave (talk about timing!)
Aella was very prompt and efficient in organising, and took the time to send all her info in the evening so we could be ready early the next morning.
She was also amazing with our daughter and organised loads of fun, stimulating and educational activities - they were even learning about European flags on the second day.
This was actually the very first time our daughter has had a babysitter, but Aella made her feel so comfortable. We asked our daughter what the favourite thing she did with Aella was, and she said "everything".
We won't hesitate to reach out again when we need to. Thanks so much Aella, you made a stressful situation so much easier.

I am a busy mum to six children ranging from 6 months to 11 years old with one of my younger children having some learning disabilities.
Amy has been my go to childcare for years and in all honesty I would not feel confident leaving my children with anyone else.
All of my children are so comfortable and content in Amy’s care, she can adapt to all of my children’s ages and what each one may need at any given time, her patience, calming influence and kindness really shine through. Amy can grasps my little one’s attention and really support their development , she can get stuck in with my very sporty son and equally be an extra ear for my pre-teens to talk to. Truly adaptable!
Amy is a wealth of knowledge as well and I often seek her professsional advice on various aspects of my children’s needs and/or development. Amy is a complete natural, provides a safe, comforting environment and I really cannot recommend her enough.
Carol has had and continues to look after both my children, she had my son from 9months old when I returned to work, he is now nearly 8 and still loves to go back to Carol during the school holidays alongside his sister who is now 5. Carol has always gone above and beyond to get to know both of my children, their likes and interests and incorporates this into the wonderful activities she offers. They regularly enjoy days out to Willows farm, Whipsinade Zoo, London museums and many more. I trust Carol whole heartedly as she has always made us feel welcome, cared for and supported.
Our boy had the best year with Debs and Barbara. They cared for him so well, always making us feel like part of the family. He went in happily every morning and especially enjoyed exploring outdoors. He was made delicious food that he always had seconds of and there were plenty of toys for him to play with. He still asks every morning if he is going to see them. Very missed!

Lisa looks after my two kids age 9 and 5 and provides after school care . For myself as a working parent, knowing that my kids are happy and are really well cared for is such a fantastic support. Lisa is very kind and caring, and the environment is really stimulating and entertaining for kids of different ages and it's very clean and safe. She always take time to listen to my children and she is also support them with their school homework and provides a great feedback at the end of every session. The communication is outstanding!
Lisa provides great and healthy meals and she always tries to accommodate my kids preferences.
I highly recommend Lisa to anyone who wants their children to develop in a safe and caring environment.

Sasha has proven to be an exceptional caregiver during the two years with our family. She is incredibly reliable and hardworking, consistently demonstrating a strong passion for child development and early years education. Sasha is highly flexible, accommodating the varied schedules and needs of our family with ease. She has a natural ability to engage with children, fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment through creative activities and thoughtful interactions. Additionally, Sasha puts great care into meal planning, ensuring that meals are not only nutritious but also enjoyable for the children. She takes her responsibilities seriously, and we have always felt completely confident in her ability to provide excellent care. I wholeheartedly recommend Sasha to any family seeking a dedicated and capable nanny.
Saaria does childminding for my 2 kids 19months old and 5 year old. Initially my 19months old was a bit hesitant to settle but now both have settled well.
It has been 2 weeks now and my children seem to be happy.
She is lovely by nature and flexible with parents needs.
I am glad I found her.
I would definitely recommend Saaria.
Our 2.5 year old daughter has been with Carol three days per week for almost a year now and is very happy and settled. Carol takes the children out on various day trips as well as quieter days at home. Carol is always kind and understanding and we have been really pleased with how our daughter settled into her care. Carol has been able to accommodate our daughter’s dairy allergy too without any problems which is a weight off our mind too.
I’m a teacher and do not trust many people to look after my children. However Carol was the exception and I’m so glad I did. My little one loved every second spent with her and the progress in both his confidence and development was incredible.
I initially met Carol at a local play group with my older boy and it took me 3 months to realise she was childminding the children she was with. The relationship they displayed was similar to a grandmother and grand children. She was extremely attentive and caring. When uncertain the children would curl up on her lap in a big hug and she would gently encourage them to play when they were ready. The children were keen for her attention which she gave in abundance, making certain they were her priority.
My little one made so many fantastic memories with her, which he still talks about. She would take him on day trips to the farm or zoo, music lessons and walks around the local area to explore. I enjoyed the updates she would send so I could see what adventures they were on.
Carol would happily listen to any of our worries about my son’s development and medical condition. She would offer advice and strategies we could use together and would evaluate how these were working. It felt like a partnership raising our son and we all miss her terribly.
They say people come into your life for a reason and we certainly felt like this with Carol. Your little one’s life will certainly be enhanced with Carol as a part of it, in fact your whole family’s will be.
Marie has looked after my son, Ezra, with exceptional care, and we have loved it there since our very first visit.
Marie is an outstanding professional who has truly made a difference in Ezra’s life. He flourished during his time with her, as she is not only highly skilled but also incredibly nurturing. Her home became Ezra’s second home.
Every time we left him in her care, we went to work with complete peace of mind, knowing he was safe, happy, and well looked after.
Marie also supported us through the process of securing additional help for Ezra with SALT, for which we are incredibly grateful.
Sadly, after 19 wonderful months with Marie, Ezra moved on to a school nursery. However, the positive impact she had on him will always stay with us.
Thank you Marie and Mhawi.

We have been working with Michelle since mid-2023 - for the first year Michelle was looking after both of our children, until our eldest started school in September 2024. Our youngest child is still being cared for by Michelle.
We have found Michelle to be be really helpful, supportive, reliable and trustworthy. Our children have been looked after really well and have been on lots of lovely outings and had lots of fun experiences whilst in Michelle's care. Michelle also works with them on learning activities - her home has lots of lovely toys and is spotlessly clean.
Michelle offers the children a range of different foods and always lets us know what they have eaten.
Michelle's communication is excellent. She consistently provides regular updates (both on message and in person) on what the children have been up to, what they have eaten, their mood etc and provides photos.
Most importantly we know that our children have been happy and felt at home in Michelle's home.
Michelle is very organised and keeps us up to date with any changes in schedule well in advance, so that we can plan accordingly. We have also found Michelle to be really flexible and helpful when we have asked to make changes to hours or days of care needed.
We would not hesitate to recommend Michelle to anyone looking for an excellent friendly and professional childminder in the area.
Carolina is an absolutely wonderful childminder and I will be forever greatful for the care that she provided my daughter.
Elena is my first child, so finding and sourcing the right person to care for her was off course, a nervous time with a world full of different options. Once we met Carolina, we knew straight away that she was the right person to support us with the care of Elena whilst I transitioned myself back into work.
Elena went to Carolina’s from 9 months old and graduated at 3 years old ready for a new chapter at per-school. Carolina paid attention to all aspects of Elena’s life, from learning and growing at all the correct stages. She helped with her development, as well and ensuring she ate well and was in a positive routine.
Carolina stayed in touch regularly, sending photo updates and ensure a regular handover always took place.
Elena throughly enjoyed going to Carolina’s house, and regularly became excited at the thought of her days there.
Carolina home settling is welcoming, safe and family orientated, with a variety of different weekly activities provided for the children to enjoy.
Carolina assisted with Elena’s potty training and also worked with me at all stages of change throughout Elena’s time with her.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Carolina enough.
We’ve been very grateful to have found Fatima! Fatima has been nannying for my 2 sons (age 3 & 1.5) since July 2024 and is very reliable, playful with the children and extremely helpful around the home; from helping with preparing meals for the children and all general tasks related to my little ones - allowing me to work from home with peace of mind.
Fatima is a fast learner, adaptable and has settled into (and facilitated!) our routine very well. Highly recommend!
Fred, our little boy has been going to Linda's childminding since he was around 10months old, he is now 3 and still absolutely loving it. Fred always talks about Linda, Connie and the doggies and looks forward to going every week. Fred was come on leaps and bounds since being with Linda and has made lots of friends. I work shifts and Linda has always been really accommadating with this, allowing me to book Fred's sessions to suit my shifts and swapping/changing days if needed. Linda's is like a home away from home for Fred and although we've got a while until he starts school, we will be gutted when it's time for him to leave.
Kath has been an absolute godsend to us providing excellent childcare to our son. Our son finds transitions in childcare tricky but Kath made this so smooth for him, with her wonderful upbeat, fun, nurturing and kind manner that had our son and us at ease immediately. Kath has such an eye for detail too and is an incredible cook. I always know at pick up my son has been cared for lovingly and nourished with a wide variety of delicious home cooked food. Thank you Kath for giving us such peace of mind and providing such a safe and fun environment for our son.
Our daughter has been with Brooke since she was 1, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she receives. She settled in quickly and absolutely loves her time with Brooke. Her assistant, Mia, is a wonderful addition to the team—always warm, friendly, and approachable.
Brooke is a genuinely kind and caring person who is also extremely reliable, flexible, and conscientious.
The stimulating environment Brooke has created allows our daughter to thrive, and it’s so reassuring to know she is so well cared for and happy.
We would highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for exceptional childcare!
