Andrea was an absolute star with our 18m old son, when she looked after him for.12 hours whilst we went to a wedding.
It was the first time we had left him that long and the first time anyone else would put him to bed - and we were stuck in a hotel room with no fridge for milk and few familiar things. We also had no real knowledge of the area or how it might work at the hotel for food etc but Andrea was just an absolute hero and took it all in her stride. She made a plan to take him to the aquarium for the day and get him hot food whilst out. He had so much fun and she was so engaged with him from the moment she met him - grabbing his attention with some fun toys she had brought. She communicated brilliantly with us the whole time (as I asked for loads of updates!) letting us know whenever they were driving between places, where they were all the time and loads of pics of him just having the best time! It was so much easier to relax and enjoy the day knowing someone so professional, thorough and caring was looking after him. Andrea asked loads of questions, (we met for a video call beforehand), but was then so helpful in shaping the plan and making it all work for us all! He was a bit of a challenge to switch off at the end of the day and go to sleep not having seen Mummy and Daddy, and in a strange place - a big ask of a little one and I was fully expecting one of us to have to go home then. But Andrea was totally on it, got him all ready for bed, read a million books and then wrapped him up warm to drop off in the buggy, which worked a treat, and he was peacefully tucked up in bed then by the time we got home! Receiving a pic of him soundly asleep as we hit the dancefloor was the best feeling ever, Ill remember that for a long time! I couldn't recommend her enough.
Thank you!

I had a similar issue as the review above. Chloe seemed very nice in our communication and then when she was due to meet me to discuss the nanny position I was looking to fill, alongside some babysitting needs, she has an issue with her car and then ultimately didn’t end up coming, or following up later that evening or in the following days to rearrange.

We count ourselves so lucky that we found Emmy. We are both freelance and never have a regular schedule, yet Emmy is always willing to help us and cares for our daughter no matter the time, night or day! Emmy is a complete angel and our daughter loves her - our daughter has found it tricky to bond with adults but Emmy is amazing and our daughter has the best time adventuring with her. We can’t recommend Emmy highly enough!
Rennie has cared for my daughter for over a year. She is calm, kind and loving. She has helped my daughter with her speech development, potty training and becoming more independent.
My daughter was a very shy babying has grown so much in confidence. she's proud to put her own shoes and jacket on, and even when she's home, she's always asking for Aunty Rennie.
I'm so grateful for the care my daughter receives and would highly recommend Rennie and her team.
I was supposed to meet Chloe prior to taking her on as our first babysitter. Chloe wasn’t great at replying to messages but I wasn’t too bothered about that. However, when it came to the day we were supposed to be meeting she never showed up, never responded to my message checking in, and still hasn’t messaged me since.
Really disappointing as we were looking forward to meeting her and felt she was exactly who we were looking for.

Carla is an absolute professional and has provided great care for my two children, getting to know their personalities and adapting well according. As noted she brings her baby, who is calm and lovely, and it causes no issues during the time with my children. Would recommend Carla anytime.
We needed to find someone at short notice to look after our 2- and 7-year old girls over the summer holidays while we were moving house. The girls loved being with Sam from the moment they walked through her door. She just seems to be able to build an immediate rapport with children. Good communication, easy to deal with and the girls were well looked after.

We have Nidhi taking care of our 3 month old baby twice a week. She is great with our baby. The baby settles well with her on day one and seems to enjoy playing with her and being held by her. Nidhi is great with sharing childcare tips, which is very helpful as in a first time mom. She also helps us with light household chores and cooking, which we so much appreciate. She is warm and easy to communicate. Would recommend to others who are looking for a nanny.

We’ve had Nes looking after our daughter 2–3 days a week since she was just 2 months old, so she started caring for her at a very young age. We interviewed and tried a few nannies, and Nes was the only one our daughter really settled with.
Nes has a very gentle and caring approach. She sings to our baby, plays with her and reads her books. You can really tell that she genuinely cares about her.
She is also very professional and responsible. She keeps us updated if she is unwell and makes sure she has fully recovered before coming back. She has also given us useful advice when our baby had a temperature or a blocked nose. She took great care of our daughter when she had a temperature after her vaccinations.
Nes helps with all the day-to-day baby care, including feeding, changing nappies, putting her down for naps, washing baby clothes and keeping the baby’s room tidy.
Most importantly, we trust Nes and feel completely comfortable leaving our daughter in her care.
We originally hoped to have Nes look after our daughter full-time when we returned to work, but unfortunately our family circumstances changed and we couldn’t go ahead with that plan.
Overall, we’ve had a really good experience with Nes. She’s caring, reliable and professional, and we’d happily recommend her to other families.
Nicky was an absolutely amazing night nurse helping take care of our daughter overnight a few nights a week for the first 6 weeks after she was born. Nicky was warm, supportive, knowledgeable, and caring. She seamlessly fit into our family and nightly routine and we immediately felt we could trust her with our daughter. Nicky truly went above and beyond when I experienced postpartum complications—she was calm and professional helping us navigate a scary situation and stayed well past her usual hours to ensure our daughter was taken care of while I was in hospital. I couldn’t recommend Nicky more highly and we will certainly continue to use her for babysitting in the future.
I cannot recommend Mrs T enough!
My daughter is seven years old and home educated, and one of our biggest challenges has been getting her interested and engaged in literacy. We have tried so many different approaches over the years, from books and learning activities to online and face-to-face tutoring, but nothing has sparked her interest quite like Mrs T has!
For the first time, I began seeing genuine excitement and joy in my daughter as she discovered new letters and words. It has been so lovely to witness!
Mrs T has such a wonderful way of encouraging and motivating her. The little personalised congratulation cards and positive recognition she gives have made such a difference in building my daughter’s confidence and keeping her enthusiastic about learning.
What I appreciate most is how Mrs T has really taken the time to understand my daughter, her personality and her individual learning needs. She has been incredibly patient, understanding and accommodating.
My daughter is naturally very shy, so seeing her happily go off to her sessions without hesitation speaks volumes. As a parent, I feel completely confident leaving her with Mrs T, and she always comes away smiling, excited and proud of what she has achieved.
At the end of her very first term, my daughter even created her own little storybook! She was absolutely beaming with pride, and I couldn’t have been prouder of her. To see a child who once struggled to find any enjoyment in literacy now taking such pleasure in creating her own story is truly special.
Mrs T hasn’t just helped my daughter learn; she has helped her develop a genuine love and excitement for learning, and that means so much to me as a home-educating parent.
Thank you, Mrs T, for recognising my daughter’s potential, nurturing her confidence and making literacy something she actually looks forward to. We are so grateful! ❤️

We honestly couldn’t recommend Kinga enough! She was absolutely amazing with our daughter, Mylà. From day one, she made her feel safe, happy, loved and cared for, which means the world to us as parents.
Kinga is so caring, patient, understanding and genuinely passionate about what she does. It was such a lovely feeling knowing that when Mylà was with her, she was in such safe and loving hands. The care, attention and kindness she gives never went unnoticed.
Thank you, Kinga, for everything you did and for being such a wonderful childminder. We were so grateful to have you. Mylà was very lucky to have you. ❤️
Would give more than 5 stars if I could! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We were searching for a Nanny during the summer holidays as our current childcare provider had retired. We were so fortunate to find Bola.
We were promptly able to set up a meeting and a chance for our children to get to know her. She quickly made a strong bond with our 8 year old daughter and our 4 year old son.
Throughout our time with Bola she displayed excellent professionalism and great communication both with us and with our children. We were able to communicate through WhatsApp and a contact book in our home to allow clear guidance and feedback. Bola worked brilliantly to support the children with homework and offer them a calm and caring support in the home environment.
Our children loved the fact that she enthusiastically joined them in play, was kind, and was helpful with their homework.
We would highly recommend Bola to any families looking for an excellent, and extremely competent Nanny for their children.
I honestly can't thank Charlotte enough for everything she's done for my daughter over the last four years. She started with Charlotte at just 9 months old and stayed right up until starting Reception.
Charlotte is professional, kind and caring, and has always been brilliant at communicating. She's encouraged my daughter through so many milestones, giving her all the learning, development and experiences you'd expect from a nursery, but in a lovely, warm home-from-home environment.
My daughter absolutely loved going there and, even now she's started Reception, she still asks to go back and visit! That really says it all. The home-cooked meals and variety of food were also amazing – Charlotte even got her eating things she wouldn't touch at home!
I looked around numerous nurseries over the years, but honestly, none came close to the care and attention Charlotte provided. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after my daughter during such important early years.
I would highly recommend Charlotte to anyone. I'm so grateful for all the love, support and care she's given us over the last four years.
We met Alicia today and in the 2 hrs my baby girl was totally comfortable and gave Alicia lots of smiles.
Alicia is pleasant and we were able to have good conversation and shared a good rapport in the first meet. The 2 hrs really flew by.
Looking forward to many more visits from Alicia.
We are so incredibly lucky to have found Magda for our child.
From day one, you can tell that this isn't just a job for her—she genuinely pours her heart into looking after the kids.
She notices every single detail and treats my child with so much individual love and care, exactly according to what they need at their age. Her home is a happy place full of all kinds of toys, and she is always making sure they eat fresh, varied, and healthy food. I also love that she takes them out to different playgroups and fun activities, so they get to experience new things and socialise.
For me, the absolute best part is the complete peace of mind. Dropping your little one off can be hard, but knowing my child is safe, genuinely happy, and in a cozy, smaller group makes me feel so relaxed. I can go about my day without a single worry. Magda is just wonderful, and if I had to choose all over again, I would pick her every single time!
