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.
Bonnie has been great with all the children. I have 5 children, 2 with additional needs. Bonnie is really patient, reliable and flexible around the needs of the children. All the children are excited when they know it is the day for Bonnie to be with them. She has to know them each individually and is a great support.

Carol is a gem - my little boy settled quickly and looks forward to going there. Her setting is beautiful and the children do a great range of fun and educational activities. Carol is also really good at communicating with parents and sharing updates and photos. We couldn’t be happier!

Our daughter has been with Carol now for 2.5 years, and we feel so lucky to have found her, she really has been the most incredible Childminder from day one. Our daughter was only 1 when she first started with Carol, she had a hard time transitioning but Carol was so professional and understanding that she settled in very quickly. Now she absolutely loves her day at Carols, she looks forward to it every week and seeing her best friend there that has also been with Carol a similar time! It’s a real family setting and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough, she has been paramount in the development of our little one and we are forever grateful!
Helen has looked after our 2 year old since she was 9 months old and has been just fantastic. Helen is thoughtful and caring and as parents who were anxious about leaving their baby and going to work, Helen could not have made this transition any more seamless.
She keeps in regular contact via tapestry throughout the day with pictures and updates which is really lovely. It has also created a lovely log of our child’s development and activities.
Helen is not your regular childminder, she goes above and beyond, encouraging development amongst the children through various play activities both inside, outside and at playgroups, soft plays and local parks.
Helen’s home is so lovely, with plenty of space for the children to play and explore, including the garden!
I could not recommend Helen highly enough and any one would be lucky to have her.
I have used Little Herbert’s since 2019.
Both of my boys have attended and one is still there.
I find Leanne’s setting very nice, clean and calming, Leanne has a lovely presence about her and all the children love her, like most parents you want to send your child to the best setting that you can possibly find, when we discovered Leanne we just knew this was the right setting for our baby and both of our boys have settled in really well, I highly recommend Leanne as she is honestly one of the kindest and patient person we have ever come across.
Thanks for everything you do and we will always continue to recommend you and your service to others.
Our son has been with Helen for eight months, we can’t say enough about how amazing Helen is. She is welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly and our son adores her. Leaving your child for the first time is a daunting experience but Helen made us both feel at ease, her communication is incredible. She provides daily updates on Tapestry and we love receiving these.
Our son loves going to Helen and we feel so comfortable leaving him with her. Her family are all friendly and her house has the perfect set up for children. We love the playroom and the fact that Helen provides a range of activities for all the children.
Our son has developed new skills since being with Helen.
We can’t rate her enough, we’re so glad that we found her.

Aysha has always been reliable and a very caring childminder, picking up my 2 boys and dropping them to after school club. My 2 boys really enjoyed their time with her, she is thoughtful and caring and always communicates with me important information from my children’s day. We will miss you. Thankyou Aysha!
Lynsey baby sat my 2 boys for an evening and really engaged with them, I felt she looked after them well and they both enjoyed her sitting with them with youngest calling her 'kind'. I would employ Lynsey again
Nicole has been looking after our daughter since she was 18 months and I cannot thank her enough for her amazing support. Our daughter thrives at Nicole’s setting and is always happy to go there. Nicole provides a warm and friendly space for the children and takes them out to groups so they have the opportunity to interact with others. My daughter loves soft play and farm animals and Nicole has taken her out to enjoy these. Whenever my daughter is under the weather, Nicole takes special care. As working parents, Nicole is flexible and understanding which we really appreciate. We are very lucky to have found Nicole.

Sophie has been looking after our son (aged 3.5 now) on ad-hoc basis for over a year now. She managed to establish a great relationship from first day and we never had trouble leaving him with Sophie.
Sophie is not just an amazing babysitter with very creative and arts background but also very responsable, trustworthy and caring. She never turned up late or cancelled any planned appointments ever.

We adore Renata, she is a super star, our boy started to see her when he was a year old and we want a small and well care place with all the certificate in place and Renata ticks all the box.
Always good report and a lot of pictures of all the fun activity outdoor and indoor the kids where doing. with total privacy on showing only our kid.
The food was very important for us and Renata go beyond by making own fresh food everyday.
Our boy still talk about the time spend with Renata, now he is at school but still go time to time and he love it.
Thank you Renata.

Mya is great with our 1-year-old triplets. She's easy to get along with, the kids all feel comfortable with her, and she has always been punctual. She often brings fun activities and tracks their development through personalized learning journeys. She's respectful of our parenting style and routines, working with us to provide a safe, loving, and of course fun environment for our children.
We needed a one-off newborn care overnight service for our three-week old son on very short notice. Ange was very understanding and kind and accepted the last minute job after she got a cancellation. We had a great experience, she's very knowledgeable and discreete, our son did great with her and we could finally have a well needed night of sleep. I highly recommend her.
We are moving overseas for a few years and have to part ways with the incredible Kasia - our beloved nanny - about which we are absolutely devastated. I am quite sure we will never replace her.
She has worked with us full time, 5-days-a-week, for the past 2.5 years (2 days per week is shared with another really lovely family who need fewer days). We feel like we struck gold meeting her in February of 2022. My husband and I were first-time parents who both needed to return to full-time work. We were not satisfied with the available nursery options in our area. So we set about finding a nanny. We came here, we read the review posts below (from complete strangers!) about Kasia. Then we met her and loved her instantly. And every word of these reviews has proven to be true!
Since my daughter was just 4 months old, Kasia has cared for her, loved her, engaged her in dynamic activities, taken her to classes and playgroups and helped her grow into a happy, clever and confident child. In her sole care capacity she has taken her to swimming lessons. She has taken her to outdoor activities in almost any weather, giving her a love of the open air. She has prepared her nutritious and healthy meals and snacks that she talks about when she gets home. And she has provided her with social activities - playdates, singalongs, library visits, farm visits - which has been amazing for her development. On the days when my daughter has not been up to a busy day, or the weather has been terrible, Kasia has kept it cozy and fun at home with art, painting, reading and playtime. My daughter loves her to pieces. Their bond is really beautiful.
Kasia has impeccably high standards and is deeply warm and caring and trustworthy. Communication throughout the day is always amazing - messages, pictures, funny anecdotes from a toddler's day! Kasia is also just a great person - funny, positive, clever, kind. She really is the most special force in our lives. She has many years of experience working with young children, and she has many exceptional and glowing references beyond mine. Please get in touch if you have any questions!
My daughter loved attending Dragonflies, Lisa was brilliant at helping her settle in and was always very caring and compassionate.
The children are regularly taken on really lovely trips out and Lisa put on a wide range of activities which my daughter really enjoyed. I would not hesitate recommending Dragonflies!
