Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Maddy and her lovely 6 year old daughter Violet have been coming a few times a week for a combination of homeschool help, and after school pick ups. She’s also had the children some holidays - taking them across London to places on public transport such as parks, the library, museums. Maddy is reliable and consistent, she can hold boundaries with the children, and has good communication with me about what she and the children have been doing, such as craft activities, playing with toys and reading. My children love her because she’s funny and engaging. Her daughter is a brilliant addition and the children all play well together.

Thank you Chloe and Nick.
Your lovely children are a pleasure to look after and we enjoy our time with them immensely.
Maddy looked after my youngest (18 months) for the day last week. I rarely leave him with anyone, so I watched over the situation for the first hour. My son was instantly comfortable and happy with her. She kept him well fed, hydrated, entertained and clothed, and kept me informed throughout the day. I also found Maddy to be very easy to speak to and easy to get along with. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
