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.
I cannot recommend Emma and the team enough! From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease, knowing our child would be in caring and capable hands. Emma and her team are warm, nurturing, and truly passionate about looking after the children in their care. Our child absolutely loves spending time with them and always comes home excited, full of stories about the activities they’ve enjoyed. I have sent both my children here and recommend Emma and her lovely team to everyone, I would never go anywhere else. One thing I love about Emma, is the incredible activities the children do with her from gymnastics, farm visits, soft plays and so much more. Everything I would be doing with my child if I wasn't at work, which makes Emma so special.
What sets Emma and her team apart is their attention to detail and the individual care they give. They take the time to understand each child's unique needs and interests, providing a safe and stimulating environment that encourages learning, play, and social development. We have seen such incredible progress in our child’s confidence and skills under Emma and her teams care.
The communication is excellent; we receive regular updates and photos, which always put our minds at ease. We know that our child is not only safe but also having a wonderful time. We are so grateful for the peace of mind Emma and her wonderful team gives us every day. Thank you for being such an amazing part of our child's life, my child and me will miss them so much when she goes to school next year!
Charlott is an absolutely amazing babysitter/nanny. She is calm, highly experienced, professional, and I feel totally at ease having her in our home looking after 3 girls.
Our girl's absolutely love having Charlott here! She's fun, they laugh, giggle and play as well as keeping them calm and well behaved!
Charlott is very helpful and kind. She also makes the most incredible cakes!!

I have been with WPW for the past 2 and a bit years and I would happily recommend this child minder. They concentrate on providing a a welcoming and healthy environment with lots of activities both in doors and out. Our boy has thrived in this environment and it has set him up perfectly for the next stage of education, they have always provided a reliable and flexible service. Thank you again for all you have done

I was in touch with Casey when I was pregnant, looking to arrange childcare in advance as I had to go back to work earlier than most. She was so welcoming and open that I instantly had a good feeling about her! She encouraged me to meet other childminders and see who would be the best fit for me, and after doing so, I stuck with my gut instinct and it was definitely the right decision.
My boy started at Casey's when he was 4 months old, and I have always felt happy and confident to leave him in her capable hands. Casey always arranges fun activities for the children that help them develop and improve their skills. She has a clean and tidy home, and I love that she always takes the children out of the house and into nature, whether it's to local parks, forests, or even the beach. She has a large range of indoor activities too, and is always doing creative things. I also really like that she posts what they've been up to on her IG stories as it's reassuring that you can see all the fun things your child has done that day! Casey also texts me an update of what they've been doing that day and any relevant information, which I also really appreciate.
She has always been flexible, and happy to look after my boy at the last minute when I've had a difficult time and desperately need a break, this is also much appreciated!! At the start of our journey I made a lot of mistakes with timings due to sleep deprivation, and must have been a nightmare to deal with, but Casey was always very kind to me about it.
Every week I get a message to let me know what's on the menu for the week ahead and a relevant theme for that week that is followed in the activities they do. She has a good structure in place so the children are always learning about something new.
I would highly recommend Casey, she is an excellent childminder!
Penny
Our 2 year old absolutely loves her time, with Nina, Marek and the other children.
The environment is safe, caring and feels like a family, which is exactly what we wanted for our daughter.
She gets individual attention, with Nina going above and beyond, doing daily crafts, learning activities, woodland walks and other organised events.
Nina's setting enjoys all-out birthday parties and special event celebrations. You can tell she really loves what she does and has the qualifications and experience, which provides a solid foundation.
We've met children who are already in school, having been prepared via Nina's setting, who are thriving.
Nina has always been thorough with her communication, leaving nothing unclear, as well as guiding us through funded hours, etc.
We are very sad to be moving away, leaving the loveliest of families, where we've been made to feel at home, knowing that our beloved daughter is well cared for.

Cara is a kind and lovely babysitter. She instantly put my daughter at ease and the evening went very well. She was excellent in gaining a bond with my daughter and myself and is exceptionally good in emergencies.
I would definitely be booking her again for future sits as she is incredibly trustworthy and was extremely professional.
Thank you Cara!

Having Rav care for my daughters was one of the highlights of the summer. The team of mom and daughter is absolutely amazing. They genuinely love the children, understand how to keep them happy, cared for and safe. The girls felt comfortable with them immediately. A great personality, amazing attitude to work, gets things done on time, going the extra mile and above all, building an amazing relationship with the family. We’ve been in touch since and wouldn’t consider anyone else for childcare. Great with communication, willing to go the extra mile, just amazing. Super respectful of the routine, our preferences, instructions and eager to learn our ways of caring for the children to make them comfortable. 20/10 Absolutely amazing experience!
I cannot recommend Mary highly enough and it is genuinely hard for words to do justice in describing how amazing she has been. We were so sad to move away and I can honestly say leaving Mary was the hardest part of moving- we haven’t found childcare yet (and probably never will!) which matches her compassion, commitment to the children and families she works with, fun and diligence.
From the very first phone call took all the time we needed to make sure it was a good fit and was always there to talk to about Evie’s wellbeing and development and answer any questions with her years of experience. Our daughter absolutely loves her, still asks after her and says she want to see Mary soon (she is 2yrs and we have lived away for 2months). In f act it was often hard to encourage her to leave Mary’s when picking her up!
Mary has strong values for the importance of family and community which is such a unique trait to have in childcare and something that felt very important and valued by us. From day one leave our daughter with Mary I felt comfortable and confident she was fine and never had any doubts that our daughter was having anything but fun, good learning opportunities, a good predictable routine and genuine care.
All the little touches Mary puts effort into doing makes such a massive impact on the families she works with means that Mary is not ‘just’ a childminder but more a family friend now. If you are looking for a child minder who goes above and beyond, provides a beautiful homely environment, cares deeply for children and clearly genuinely loves her job (and the children love her) then you have found the right one! 😊
Luiyana looked after our daughter for a year, in which time she flourished, learning Spanish, new skills and making friends. Luiyana was always considerate, professional, flexible and an ideal childminder! Now that our daughter is at pre-school, she still often asks to go back to Luiyana's house. It's clear that she has lots of fond memories from her time there.

Luiyana is warm, friendly and professional and has a wonderful, nurturing manner with children. Our 1 year old daughter would happily march into Luiyana's house everyday and enjoyed Luiyana taking her to the local playgroup.
Luiyana would give feedback at pickup each day and tried her absolute best to accommodate any additional sessions. Luiyana's home is spotless and her food is fresh and nutritious. Her qualifications and paperwork are up to date, transparent and organised.
We were so grateful to find Luiyana and for all the care and attention she gave our daughter and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Luiyana has been brilliant with our daughter for the year that she attended the setting. Since she started with Luiyana at 2.5 years until she started preschool in September, she really loved going and was always excited, viewing it as a home from home environment. She loves playing with the other kids, and there were always lots of activities, playing outside in the garden and parks, going for walks, to playgroup, as well as lots of arts and crafts activities. Alyssa really flourished there, and developed some early literacy skills even though she was only 3. We were always happy and confident that the home-cooked meals and snacks that Luiyana provided were nutritiously balanced. Equally, the flexibility with drop off and pick up times that Luiyana afforded was greatly appreciated when our travel and work arrangements changed at the last minute. Overall, a great childminder that gives peace of mind, and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again.
Emma and her team have looked after our son for a year now since he was 11 months old. We couldn’t be happier sending him there and he is such a confident happy little boy. They do something different each day and seem to have so much fun all playing together. We are so pleased to have found you Emma, thank you!
Rosita looked after my daughter and son for a year and a half. She created a loving environment for my children. I really valued the support and flexibility that she gave my family during a busy time.
She cared for my children tremendously, exposed them to new things, and encouraged them. My children are happy, confident, and social because of the love they received from Rosita.
I feel really lucky to of found Clare to look after my little boy Noah. Noah has been going to Clare’s since September and has settled in so well I never thought I’d see him running into a setting - Clare is very caring, professional and has created a real home from home feeling. I love that she keeps me updated throughout the day with pictures and a diary on what he has eaten through the app she provides.
Noah is a much happier boy since he has been coming to Clare’s and is gaining so much confidence and is picking up sign language that she teaches him as he is currently non verbal.
I would recommend Clare to anyone looking for a childcare as she is just amazing with my little boy xx
We have been so lucky to have Paris in our lives taking care of our baby for almost 4 years. Finn had his first settling in day when he was just 6 months old and throughout his whole time with her, he has been treated and loved like one of her own. She has been his second home and we have seen him grow and learn so much in her care - I could always see the things that he had learnt with her and he had the most fun with the Petals - and he always had the biggest smiles for Paris!! We were always updated with photos and messages of what Finn and the Petals had been up to each day, which is just the most reassuring thing when you trust someone with your baby. She took time and care getting to know everything about Finn and she always made sure to focus on each of the Petals interests as they grew. We are so very grateful for the love and care she showed from the very first day, to the last day that he was in her care, and for the way she prepared him so amazingly for school. We honestly could thank her or rate her highly enough!!
