We were delighted to have our son River attend Olaide’s childminding services for 1.5 years.

River started with Olaide when he was 11 months old for 4 days per week on my transition back to work. Having no family near by, our needs were to find someone nurturing, warm and trustworthy that can help us both navigate this challenging transition with ease. Also somewhere calmer than an over stimulating nursery with a home from home experience.

I was initially very apprehensive to leave my son anywhere but Olaide made me feel safe, calm and comforted. She supported me and gave our son all the care he needed. Olaide was calm but firm, and helped River through formative stages of his life. Napping, weaning, walking, talking, all helped to grow by Olaide, made easier by her lovely clean home and beautiful large garden space.

I feel truly blessed to have given my son this starting experience and we will all truly miss Olaide.

I cannot recommend her enough.
