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 are on our eighth month with Amran, and I can’t tell you how much she has made a difference to our daughter’s education. We noticed a change straight away!!
The additional reinforcement for lessons and homework that Amran has provided DD to enjoy learning, confidence and steady, but unmistakable improvements. We are very happy with the progress! and would highly recommend Amran for anyone looking for a tutor.

After so many failed attempts to find a tutor for my daughter who has been out of school for some time and also has dyslexia, I finally came across Alex, which I’m so grateful for. Within the first month Alex has taught my daughter how to read,write and recognise her numbers not to mention the confidence my daughter has now and is much more enthusiastic about learning. Alex has so much patience when she’s teaching my daughter and also provides a lot of feedback at the end of each session which is so helpful. She also provides the appropriate homework needed. Alex always checks up on how my daughter is doing and gives little fun learning activities to do with her, even on the days when she’s not teaching. I can’t recommend Alex enough!!
My daughter attended for 2 years from the age of 10months old. Going to work and leaving my girl is hard, and I don't think I could have done it without finding these wonderful ladies. It's a home from home while I'm at work. Home cooked meals, indoors & outdoor play, and she made her first friends. My daughter settled so quickly because she loved them! I would highly reccomend!
My daughter started in Karen’s setting just after turning 8 months old. After just one visit to the setting I knew my daughter would thrive and love the environment Karen provides.
The daily updates and pictures I receive after every session made my return back to work so much easier as I could see my daughter loved being at the setting and was so content. As soon as my daughter could walk she would run to the front door and would be so eager to go and play and that confirmed to me that Karen’s setting was the one for us.
Karen often takes the children out to the park, the beach and meets up with other childminders, this was a huge factor as to why I chose Karen as I didn’t want my daughter to have some of the restrictions you would find in a nursery setting. Karen also keeps me up to date with all the educational activities my daughter does through videos and my daughter comes home with drawings that we keep and will repeatedly tell me about what she has learnt that day. My daughter will wake up every morning and ask if she is going to Karens and will get upset if I tell her she isn't going.
Karen has done everything in her power to make sure me and my daughter have been supported with the obstacles we have faced in the last 2.5 years. My daughter developed a medical condition and after every hospital appointment Karen has always messaged to see how things have gone and if there’s anything she could do to support us. Karen has also been there to support me and often sends me resources that she knows will benefit both me and my daughter. It’s the little things like this that show just how much Karen cares for the children but also the parents.
My daughter loves everyone at the setting and I couldn’t be more grateful to Karen for everything she has done for me and my daughter. She has been the biggest blessing to our lives and I could not recommend her enough.
As a new parent it was incredibly daunting trying to find suitable childcare for my son, and I was a bag of nerves initially but I have been able to fully put my trust in Jo who has proven to be an excellent childminder. Since my 10 month old has been with Jo he is the happiest he has ever been. Jo clearly loves her job and will do anything for the children under her care. She has created a fun, supportive, engaging and loving environment for these little ones and my son comes home beaming every day. Her communication is great and she is willing to go above and beyond to support us as parents too. Would highly recommend.

This lady deserves a medal 🏅 she's brilliant at her job been brilliant with both my children one that is non verbal helped us with cdc anyone that needs contact with our son she's amazing at her job she's the best around very friendly reliable and trusted with our boys
The best childminder I have come across! Very friendly and knows exactly what she is doing. She looked after my 4 kids (aged 3-11) very well. Very happy with the service. Would highly recommend.
Rafi has been with Aga for 5 months, since he was 10 months old. She is such a warm, kind person. She does a fantastic variety of activities with him, from painting and homemade Playdoh to taking him out and about to the library / playgroups / playground / Hampstead Heath etc.
We receive lovely photos and feedback daily, showing the developmental skills and wonderful activities they’ve been working on together.
Rafi eats all of Aga’s food, and successfully naps for close to 2 hours.
We are delighted we found Aga.

My eldest son who's now at school attended LilLites from 12 months and absolutely loved his time there so it was a no brainer when we had our second son a year ago that he would also join Cassie at LilLites. He started at just 8 months and although the youngest of the lot, he fitted right in and settled straight away. His development has come on leaps and bounds and loves the nurturing environment Cassie provides. We love the fact that there's a new theme for them to learn each week and he regularly brings back artwork for us to stick on the fridge. There's great communication so we know how he's been throughout the day and he loves playing with all the other kids along with Cassie's lovely home cooked meals! We've been lucky to have a few ad hoc days with Cassie also which have been a lifesaver as her flexibility is also a big plus! Would highly recommend :)

We’ve had Renata as our two daughters’ childminder since 2019, and we are extremely happy with her and the care she provides to our girls. She is always kind, friendly and professional. We can be fully confident and happy at our daily work, because we know our girls are in such good hands and they are very fond of her. She provides good and healthy homemade food, lots of activities, play and miniadventures. She is absolutely lovely and caring person, we will always be very grateful to have had her in our daughters’ daily lives and being their childminder.
Since being looked after by claire by daughter has gone from being quiet and anxious to very confident and outgoing . She absolutely loves going to claire and tells me how much fun it is and about all her friends there. She especially loves the trips to the softplay etc. Claire also provides daily updates on what they have done throughout the day which is excellent.
Always a smile on arrival when I drop my son off. He loves it there and is taken care of well. Sandra has gone the extra mile for me and my son and I really appreciate all her support and everything she has taught my son. I love the online facility, it is an amazing resource and allows me to see what my son is up to everyday (real time)- I cannot put a price on this! The pictures are lovely to see and gave me immediate reassurance in the early days when it was hard to leave him and go to work.
The set up is lovely, with the additional branded bus! The children go out regularly, not like in nurseries and this really drew me to Sandra's services. In fact that is where I met her at the local library, so when I was looking for childcare, I had already seen how she looked after children well before I was even looking - so it was an easy choice for me.
I love seeing my son and the children go on the days trips with their branded hi-vis jacket.
I highly recommend Sandy Dee Littles stars. It is obvious that Sandra has put her heart and soul her company. Thank you Sandra xx

Our son Yannis has been going to Eva in the last 2 month and he is unbelievable happy. The house is clean big and a lot facilities for kids. Eva is such a wonderful person always smiling and happy , gives you a good vibe. They have a lot of activities , going out everyday somewhere new , taking them to musical, outdoor play, in the forest , everywhere , Yannis has improved a lot his conversational level and he always waits to go to Eva. She even has equipment ( clothing) for outside. Meals included. What can I say , you would be lucky if you get a place for your little one in her diary. We thinking about to let him to Eva until he starts reception. She is a great person which loves kids and as soon as you see her you will say .. she is the one that needs to look after my child.

We are extremely happy we choose Renata as our son’s career, this was our first experience with childcare, and he was just little (12month) we were nervous to go back to work. Renata made transition absolutely flawless, my little boy always was and still is welcoming her with big smile, hug and excitement! He absolutely adores her, as much also myself and she has become part of family!
She’s very accommodating, calm and patience in her very relaxing environment. We always receive detailed updates and handovers so we are always in the know, of all creative activities, singing and dancing to walks in nature. Great way to learn through play!
All homemade food, absolutely wonderful and lots of healthy snacks.
My son have moved into school now, but he still pop for the odd inset day, and absolutely love it!
Thank you so much Renata, we are FOREVER Grateful!
Angel worked with us for just over a year and was a wonderful addition to our family. She looked after our son from 11 months - 2 and also took care of our older son (6) in the school holidays. She’s does lots of activities with the children and is a really caring person. Highly recommend!

Our baby girl has been with Madalina regularly since August last year, and I couldn't recommend Madalina highly enough! She is very reliable and trustworthy, caring and just loves babies and kids so much like her own. Madalina always finds new activities for our baby girl, from crafting to soft play to visiting animal farms, and my baby girl always had a great time with her! Without a doubt, I will be booking Madalina regularly in the future, because I know my baby is in the most capable hands.
For 2 years Maria provided supportive and loving care for our son. He left for Preschool 6 months ago and still speaks of her and her home very fondly which is why she is still doing some babysitting for us.
Her home is welcoming and full of activities for the children. She also has 2 gardens which are in full use for the kids. However, they go to different parks and farms,if not every day, multiple times a week. So it's a very stimulating and fun environment.
Maria also organises a few events each year which allow the parents to get to know each other better as well, which creates a great sense of community.
All in all its a fantastic home away from home.
We have just finished up with Michelle, she looked after our little one since he was 12 months and is now 19months. Our little one has done nothing but grow in confidence since being with Michelle. It is with great sadness we part ways, as we moved out from London. Michelle was our first child carer outside of family and so we were worried at first but our son adapted himself to Michelle’s setting very quickly and was super happy to go to Michelle’s every morning! I love the fact that every day they are busy doing an activity (playgroup, park, rhyme time etc)! Michelle is an amazing childminder we could see from the beginning she was extremely experienced and it did not take long for her to know our son very well. I am also very fond of the daily update with all useful information!
We will miss Michelle (especially our son) and hope we will find a childcare as good as Michelle’s setting.
Evelyn has cared for our twin boys since age 1 and our daughter in our own home since age 3 . Professional, enthusiastic, reliable, trustworthy, safe and kind - I cannot recommend her highly enough. She will be a welcome addition to any family and I am happy to be contacted for a reference.
