Steph looked after my DD from the age of 2 years old and DS from the age of 2 months old. Both children immediately settled in without any issues whatsoever. Children were very happy in her comfortable home and did not want to leave at the end of the day. The children were stimulated, enjoyed trips out, we're provided with numerous activities. All her children are very bright and it was noticeable how quickly my quiet DS came out of her shell immediately after being looked after by Steph. Steph even took my DS for an entrance test for Sydenham High Prep which she passed all thanks to Steph. My DD was so happy there that she skipped nursery all together and went straight from Steph's to school.

My DS was accepted into Dulwich Prep and Seniors for reception which is very hard to get into and it was all down to Steph and the care she provided. The children both ask daily to attend her home and they have formed such a bond with her. Throughout the period the children were with her she supported me as a single father through many difficult times.

Steph is very attentive to the childrens' needs, she is accommodating to the parents, her communication is excellent and no words I could write here will do her justice. I can't recommend her highly enough and proud to say she has become like a family to me and my children.
