Simply the best

Clemmie and Dale came into our lives during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in July 2020 when our son was just turning one. When all other support fell through, Clemmie and Dale welcomed us with open arms and cared for our son so thoughtfully and collaboratively with us. We have absolutely adored the environment they have created in their home, and feel so lucky to have found them. Our son was a regular attendee for 2 years until he 'graduated' to nursery at 3.5 years old, and our daughter also has been under Clemmie and Dale's care for the past year.

Highlights of Clemmie and Dale's include healthy home cooked meals and snacks for the children with varied menus each week, daily trips rain or shine around Teddington for the children on their cargo bicycle (library, garden centre, local parks and playgrounds), welcoming clean environment and garden, dedicated cots / bedrooms for naps, detailed Whatsapp daily diaries with photos of adventures and activities as well strong and consistent ad hoc communication, toy rotations and crafts / baking / developmentally appropriate activities.

Tantrums, separation anxiety, illness, arrival of a sibling, sibling relationships, big transitions, suspected allergies...Clemmie and Dale have helped us through it all with kindness and utmost care.

Clemmie and Dale have been such a wonderful support for our family and we really don't know what we will do without them when we move out of London soon. I cannot recommend this setting enough. It truly is the best, and we have toured every nursery, interviewed several nannies and other childminders in Teddington...nothing compares to Clemmie & Dale.
