Nana is committed to provided a homely, safe and engaging childminding provision. Both our children transitioned to Nana’s super easily, they loved it from day one and they felt like they have gained another family. Ellaine’s house is great - super clean, organised and has a fabulous garden where the children play for hours together. They love being in a home setting (especially at a young age) and she treats them like they are a part of her family. She give them so much love and reassurance alongside clear boundaries and high expectations.
Ellaine is so flexible and helpful. She never adds to our stress - she looks at how she can help our entire family and takes stress away from us.
She is extremely knowledgeable about child development and the early years but always listens to you and if you have any concerns. Our children have absolutely thrived with her. She keeps them safe, healthy and well fed. She has worked with us to develop our children’s social skills and speech. All the children in Nana’s care become so confident with their speech and love chatting away. She has developed their knowledge (colours, numbers, vocabulary etc) through crafts, trips in the local area and a wide variety of activities. She always knows what our children’s next steps are and works with them to develop these.
Nana is very much part of our family and has nurtured and given us so much care and love . We know that the children will grow up going to Nana’s and she has played a large role in the amazing toddlers they have both become.
Ellaine is extremely reliable and understands the stress presented to working parents. She has never closed during our time with her and always communicates holidays well in advance.
Ellaine/“Nanna” has taken care of our son for 3.5 years and our daughter so far now for 1.5 years.
The kids (and us!) love and respect her 100% and it really has felt like we are dropping our kids off to a family member. It really feels like she loves the kids as her own and shows them so much genuine love.
She is a great support to us parents too and has often gone out her way to help us.
We can’t recommend Ellaine enough

Thank you xxx
Our son went to Ellaine’s for three days, and then four days a week, from 10 months up until he was 2.5. He loved his time there and still says he would like to go visit! Ellaine’s care is nurturing and she takes a firm but fair approach. She has a great sense of humour, she is relaxed but offers advice, when needed, from all of her experience of having children, grandchildren and the many children she has been a childminder for. She cooks lovely homely meals and really understands each child’s needs and quirks! We highly recommend.

Thank you xx
Rosalie stayed with Ellaine from 10months until 17months, I couldn’t have wished for a better childminder . She is always very calm and nurturing , she would give advice if I had questions. Food was always a success . In these weird times where we stayed
confined for months, without close family around , it felt that we had give Rosalie a sense of community by staying with Ellaine and we are forever grateful. Our only regret was to leave her as we moved to France . Merci & you’re always welcome here !

Thank you so much x
Ellaine looked after our son for just over a year from 3 until 4 years old. Her home is like a family home - because her grandchildren are often there, that makes it feel like a family setting. Ellaine is very caring but also has really clear boundaries, a good combination in my opinion. She understood our son’s needs and personality very quickly and he settled very quickly. It’s also great that she has outdoor space for the kids to play in. And our son quickly developed friendships with the other children.
My son still asks to go to Ellaine’s for visits, which is as good a recommendation as any!
