My Experience
As an early years educator, I have over 10 plus years of childcare experience as a postnatal maternity nurse and nanny. I am passionate about ensuring that any babies and toddlers under my care have a fun filled, stimulating and educational day.

Please know that the majority of the time the curriculum will be set by the children! There will be no tick boxes just observations observation observations. Your child will be happy and safe under my care.
Working with children is not just a job for me, it is a passion. I consider my role in assisting in your child's development as my priority and I will endeavour to provide the best care tailored to your child's needs and development during those precious years in your child’s life.

Linda has looked after my 3year old Son since he was 18months, he absolutely adores her and her partner, and now their baby girl too. He has learnt so much during the past 2 years, and cannot wait to see her, and catch her up on things from over the weekend. The activity’s she provides are always fun as well as being educational.
My youngest son now 1, also goes to Linda, and even him being a completely different child to my 1st, he is so happy there.
Linda’s communication with parents is 2nd to none, both boys eat so well there, which is such a relief to know they are getting healthy balanced meals.
She has honestly become a friend if not family, and we feel so lucky to have found her, and have her looking after our boys.

Linda provided our 2 year old son with attentive care and nicely varied activities, a great mix between learning and play. He is notoriously difficult to settle, but Linda persevered with him and won him over, and at the end of the day he left a happy boy!

Thank you so much Greg. It was my pleasure looking after your son, he is really such a sweet and clever boy.
She is sweet, kind, patient, honest, and trustworthy. She was amazing with my baby. You truly can't ask for more. She would be a great fit for any family that’s looking for a childminder.

Thank you so much Hannan.
It was always a pleasure looking after baby Noah. It is so amazing seeing him now all grown up and in reception.
Linda was nanny/chilminder to our first-born post-COVID (when we needed childcare "relief" and expert knowledge... all very badly) and she was an absolute delight from the very first time we met her.
From a professional standpoint, she is incredibly kind, reliable, thoughtful, and creative in terms of planning activities/meals/play experiences (and was an enormous help with feeding/weaning/navigating difficult phases), as well as patient and a highly skilled expert "all things childcare" across many age groups. We interviewed her alongside a number of options available at the time, and it was absolutely clear we made the right choice.
If Linda's childminding business was closer to our own neighborhood, our son (and now daughter) would **110%** still be in her care when we are working. In short, cannot recommend her highly enough and happy to provide a direct reference if helpful - she's the best! Travis

I cannot recommend Linda highly enough! She was our nanny for a year and took absolutely excellent care of our son, who was 1 year old when Linda started with us. She brought kindness, warmth and patience to her role and our son bonded with her right away. We completely trusted her with our child. Linda would take our son out for some fresh air and exercise every day and had lots of creative ideas for educational and artistic activities. Additionally, she would cook healthy meals every day. I learned so much from Linda during our time with her. If we lived near Cheshunt we would have our child at Lin's Tiny Tots Home Day Care in a second!

Ahh it was my pleasure and an honour to be part of the family. I miss you all ,if only Cheshunt was not far out of London. I had the best time looking after P, he is such a sweet, funny and caring little man. I can not believe how much he has grown.
Best Wishes,
Linda
