A Trusted Platform for Finding Exceptional Childcare ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Childcare.co.uk has been an invaluable resource for our family. The platform made it easy to find high-quality childcare that met our needs, and the detailed profiles and reviews gave us confidence in our choice.

Through Childcare.co.uk, we found a nurturing and supportive childcare environment that has had a wonderful impact on my son's development. Since attending, his self-esteem and confidence have grown significantly, and we have seen noticeable improvements in his speech, communication, and motor skills.

The platform is user-friendly, reliable, and offers a great way for parents to connect with trusted childcare professionals. I would highly recommend Childcare.co.uk to any parent looking for quality childcare and peace of mind.

We honestly couldn’t recommend Vicky…

We honestly couldn’t recommend Vicky enough. ❤️
Our journey with Vicky started back in 2022 when Albert joined her, and now, in 2026, our youngest son Arthur has also finished his time with her. It really is the end of such a special chapter for our family, and we feel so lucky that both of our boys have had the opportunity to grow up in such a loving, caring and nurturing environment.
Vicky is truly amazing at what she does. She is so family-orientated and has a wonderful way of making every child feel welcome, loved and special. It never feels like you are simply leaving your child at nursery or with a childminder — it feels like you are becoming part of a little family that grows together over the years. ❤️
It’s all the little touches that make such a huge difference. From making every child’s birthday feel so special and making sure they are all celebrated, to going above and beyond at Easter, Christmas, having Santa visit and creating so many magical memories for the children. These are the things that they will remember, and as parents, we will always be so grateful for.
Both Albert and Arthur have been so loved and cared for, and knowing they were happy, safe and so well looked after meant the absolute world to us.
Thank you, Vicky & the team for everything you have done for both of our boys and for all the memories you have given them. You really are one of a kind, and you will always hold such a special place in our family’s hearts. ❤️
We will miss you so much, but we know just how lucky we have been to have had you in our boys’ lives. Thank you for everything. 🥹❤️

Easy to use siteyrs

Easy to use site, slightly pricey but good that you can cancel on a monthly basis, would be good if you could ask people looking for childcare to actually define what they want rather than just saying childminder needed. They should provide a better. description. Also ask parents not to ghost people after they have made communication.
Overall happy with the site but you do need to keep checking in as parents are reluctant to contact you, so you need to spend time looking for prospective clients.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most wonderful childminder…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most wonderful childminder Chrissy’s Tiny Toes
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Chrissy look after both of our boys. She cared for Max from 18 months old for two years, and then looked after Philip from when he was just 10 months old. I honestly cannot thank her enough.

Chrissy is such a kind, warm, caring, easygoing, creative and trustworthy person. Both of our boys absolutely adore her, and our whole family does too! They settled so quickly and were always genuinely happy and excited to go to Chrissy’s.

The boys had such a wonderful variety of activities — arts and crafts, baking, learning numbers and counting, walks, museums and, every Thursday, forest school. They made lots of lovely friends and had so many happy experiences and memories.

I always knew they were in safe and loving hands. They ate well, were beautifully cared for, and always came home happy and clean! 😊

What makes Chrissy truly special is the genuine love she has for children. She creates such a warm, calm, safe and welcoming environment where children feel secure, happy and encouraged to learn and explore.

I could always rely on Chrissy, and knowing my boys were happy and so well cared for gave me complete peace of mind.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Chrissy to anyone looking for a childminder. She isn't just a five-star childminder — she is a million-star childminder! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you, Chrissy, for all the love, care and wonderful memories you have given our boys. You will always have a very special place in our family’s hearts. ❤️
