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.
My daughter has been going to Angela's a year now, and my daughter has improved so much. She is not the same person she was a year ago. Angela supports each child's needs. Angela is so welcoming and everyone loves her. I honestly don't know what I would do without her. She's part of the family.

Angela is absolutely amazing! She looks after my twins aged 2 nearly 3. They have been going to Angela's for a year now and I've got to say I was very nervous about sending them to a childminder and not a nursery but I'm so glad I made the decision to look for a child minder. Angela really goes above and beyond for the kids there, every occasion is celebrated and everyday they have so much fun. They are learning constantly and improving in every aspect of their social skills. I could not recommend Angela enough. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do. Your amazing!

We have used Kerrie for a while now, we have a 10 year old, 8 year old and one year old and she is great with them all!
I have been told from older two that Kerrie always has great game ideas and will play with them for hours.
Kerrie is also very caring and trustworthy with the baby and I would happily leave all 3 kids with her for any amount of time. Highly recommend.

Leonor stepped in when my son wasn't able to be full time at school. He has complex needs but warmed to Leonor's calm and fun style, and every time I returned home after a few hours to a happy, regulated and well looked after child. I had no problems asking for help for regular lunchtimes and afternoons several times a week, no concerns leaving him even when he was tired and grumpy and my son looked forward to being with Leonor.

We've been having Zehra's support to look after our son over the last three years and we highly recommend Zebras Tots childcare setting to anyone.
Dori and her lovely team are very professional and are always up to date with regulatory requirements like health and safety.
For your part, you have always kept us well informed of the activities that she has undertaken each day and have kept clear records of food / drink intake and nappy changes.My daughter really likes delicious food they are making.
Highly recommended!”
Pav has been a childminder for both of my children for the past 2 years and I would thoroughly recommend her for both full days and school wraparound care.
My youngest (3) has been at Pav's since turning 12 months and Pav was brilliant and patient at settling her in - my daughter has always been very happy to go to Pav's and excited to see both her and the other children at the setting. They go on so many lovely local trips and take little activities with them to learn along the way. They have busy days and make the most of being outside, whatever the weather. After school pick up, they have chance to relax and play together with a nice age range of older children too. And a huge range of toys, games, books and crafts to choose from! I feel that wonderful memories are being created alongside learning and building friendships.
Pav has a lovely, welcoming home, great garden and shares a weekly menu which is always nutritious, home made and delicious. Over time it's helped my pickiest eater to be more adventurous, and given me some new ideas to try at home too.
My eldest (7) also goes to Pav for wraparound care and has always loved going. Pav sets up a lovely variety of games and activities and picks things out that she knows he particularly likes. He gets really inspired by the different activities Pav sets up and feels very comfortable in her home and with the other children.
I would recommend Pav, if you can get a place!
Our little boy has been with Marina from 1 year old. We were very particular where to send him, and after a bad experience during the settling in sessions at a local nursery we contacted Marina (after extensive research). From when our boy met first met Marina we knew it was the best decision to change care settings. She allayed our fears from the outset and hand overs were always so easy as he was so excited to go. His development with Marina has been immense, she takes the time to support them every way she can. We class our boy as free range with Marina as they're always out and about on adventures. We travel 20 mins each way to Marina's as she's that good.
Don't think twice if you're considering Marina, she's classed as Outstanding by Oftsed for a reason but she goes above and beyond their requirements which is all for the benefit of the children.
Abi has been a great help, and my daughter absolutely loves her and loves to play with Abi's children. They have a lovely garden for fresh air, and a clean house. Abi has been caring and professional, and kind, which is all I need in my challenging times. I are happy we found Abi and hope to stick with her for a long time :)
Thank you.

Mandy has been caring for our 1 year old daughter for several months now and we can't recommend her highly enough. She is lovely with our child, and makes a massive effort to provide high quality care for her. She is also lovely to spend time with and helpful around the house. She provided us with all the necessary paperwork before starting and some brilliant recommendations.
Alba was an excellent maths tutor for our son, Ben, over the 18 months she worked with him at our home. She was always punctual and reliable, and her teaching style was both engaging and effective.
When she started tutoring Ben in Year 4, he lacked confidence in maths and often found it challenging. However, through her patient and encouraging approach, he not only improved significantly but also developed a genuine enjoyment for the subject. By the time she went on maternity leave in Year 6, maths had become one of his strongest subjects.
Alba had a wonderful way of making lessons both structured and enjoyable, using different techniques that really helped concepts ‘click’ for Ben - many of which he still remembers and applies today. She was also incredibly patient when he struggled to focus, gently keeping him on track without making him feel pressured.
We are so grateful for the positive impact she had on Ben’s learning and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a dedicated and talented tutor.

I cannot put into words how grateful we were to have found Charlie Bears when I was due to start a new job after maternity leave. My anxiety and worry of leaving our 8 month old son soon disappeared after meeting Charlie and her wonderful team. The care and reassurance they have provided has been second to none and our little boy has absolutely loved his time with them. He has thrived and grown so much in such a short time. With regular updates and being sent beautiful photos of him making new friends and learning lots of new things, we really couldn’t have found a better setting for him. Thank you Charlie, Becky and May for being so wonderful, kind and caring!
We arrived in London in March 2023 with our 1-year-and-3-month-old daughter. From that moment, we began searching for a place where she could feel safe, well cared for, and nurtured—a place that would also give us peace of mind as parents as we embarked on a new stage in our professional and family lives in a different country. We were incredibly lucky to find Carmen and Marta through this portal.
Our daughter stayed with them until December 2024, during which time she quickly picked up English, formed strong bonds with them, and learned to interact with other children in a safe and nurturing environment. She also discovered different cultures through the wonderful celebrations and teachings they introduced. They even took the time to talk about and teach her and her classmates about our home country, Chile, helping her stay connected to her roots while also fostering cultural exchange. She learned to count, sing, engage with others, and—most importantly—feel secure in her new home.
Every day, they provided us with detailed updates about her activities, meals, and overall well-being. They even supported us with potty training, guiding her through this important milestone with patience and care. Most importantly, they were an invaluable source of support for us as a family. Moving from Chile to a completely new country, without an existing support network, was a challenge—but Carmen and Marta were always there for us, offering guidance, reassurance, and kindness whenever we needed it.
We are truly grateful to have met them and for the almost two years our daughter spent in their care. Without a doubt, everything she learned with Carmen and Marta has helped her grow into a confident and happy child, now thriving in primary school.

Beatrice goes above and beyond for all the children in her care. My daughter who has mild autism has been with Beatrice for about six months now and the development she has made in such a short amount of time is extraordinary. Beatrice plays major role in each child’s social, physical, intellectual, creative and emotional development. she doesn’t just do her job but loves every moment of it. If you are looking for a Childcare provider who always keeps you updated every step of the way, plans weekly trips out on fun activities e.g to soft play, museums, the library and so much more, and who truly cares for your child then look no further. Beatrice and Mark are an amazing team! I could not thank you both enough! 😊♥️

I couldn’t have asked for a better baby sitter for my children. Maryam is so good with my daughter, my daughter absolutely adores her. Maryam will go an extra mile to make sure my kids are happy. She will update me with videos and pictures of my children. And they always ask when they will see Maryam again.
If you are looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after your little one, look no further! Liza is a very genuine, kind and caring individual and my son warmed to her right away. Liza’s setting is safe and of a very high standard, including cleanliness and a bright and welcoming atmosphere, I wouldn’t hesitate to book Liza, she is the best!! 😊

Ester has been looking after our baby for a few months now. She is very well organized and our baby has a lot of fun with her. They are getting on with each other very well. Among her main tasks in the job, she plays with the baby, feeds the baby, does nappy and clothes changes and puts the baby to sleep. We are also very happy with her collaboration in housekeeping maintenance, that really helps us also :-)
Carly is everything I was looking for in a childminder when I began my search. She cared for my baby from four months up to almost 1 year. She’s very professional, loving, compassionate, kind and caring. Carly was very flexible and very accommodating to my baby’s needs. She has a great selection of toys and ensure each child in her care complete learning activities within their age range. She also keeps a daily diary of what my son would eat, drink and activities she did with him. My son enjoyed his time within her settings and I was very satisfied with the care she provided. I would highly recommend :)
