My son has been going to Monique for a few months now, and he absolutely loves it! Even though he only goes once a week, he gets excited the moment we tell him he’s going to see her. Monique is caring, attentive, and treats him like family. She always keeps me updated on what he eats, plays, or learns, which I really appreciate. Her children are also so kind and often read to my son, which he enjoys a lot. We feel very lucky to have found her!

Monique is the best! She has contributed a lot to my child’s development. From saying a few words, to now saying full sentences. My child’s vocabulary has grown immensely even after just a few month. He has really been enjoying his time with Monique and all the other kids.
Highly recommended 💕

Monique has been looking after our daughter for 2 days a week, she absolutely loves Monique, as do we. She is so sweet, kind and caring. Our daughter has progressed so much since being with her, with counting, puzzles, colours and her speech. I couldn’t recommend Monique more xx

Our current childminder was going on leave for 5 weeks so we needed to find a temporary childminder for our 3 year old. As soon as we met Monique we knew she was going to be wonderful with our daughter. She immediately bonded with her and played with her. She had so many fun toys and activities for our daughter to do.
During the time our daughter has been with Monique she has absolutely thrived. Her confidence has improved, her communication skills have flourished, her logic and art skills have gotten so much better, her concentration, and she's just so happy at the end of every day there. Monique does lots of practical and hands on activities with the children so whilst they're learning they're also having so much fun. Our daughter brings home numerous arts and crafts projects that they've worked on and shes so proud, its lovely to see. They play games, do puzzles, dress up, paint, go to the park and splash pool, go for walks - and so much more!
One key thing I love about Monique is the affection she shows for the children in her care. Shes so loving and she has treated our daughter like one of her own which is priceless for us. Our daughter absolutely loves her to bits.
Monique has always been really open and honest with us about our daughters progression and has highlighted to us any challenges that have arisen. We also receive a progress report at the end of each day which is such a nice touch. We also receive photos throughout the day which is so lovely as its nice to see what they are up to.
I really couldn't recommend Monique enough, she is an absolute Godsend.

We had a fantastic experience with Monique!
She made us feel incredibly comfortable leaving our 5-month-old for the first time with someone outside of the family while we attended a wedding. Monique is professional, knowledgable, kind and empathetic. She kept us up to date during the evening as to how our daughter was which was very reassuring. We had such a great experience with Monique that we plan to use her as much as we can in future and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable, trustworthy and knowledgable babysitter.

Our nursery had to shut for two weeks due to staffing issues so I contacted Monique to see if she could look after my two year old in an ad hoc basis for these weeks. Monique was quick to respond and when I first met her was instantly reassured and happy to leave my son with her. For the second week she also looked after my eldest child (5 years old) who had a fab time. She keeps you updated throughout the day with lovely photos showing the kids having lots of fun. I would highly recommend Monique.

My little boy started out at a nursery but struggled to settle, it just wasn’t suited to his personality. Finding Monique has been a game changer! My son is very happy, content and gets very excited to go - this never ever happened in the 4 months he was at nursery! Monique is very loving, attentive and caring, she goes the extra mile to ensure she has toys my son is interested in. I think she now has a mountain of bus toys!
Monique’s own 2 children are very polite, engaging and playful. My son talks about them almost daily and loves playing with them.

We are so glad that we found Monique and that she had a space for us! She has created a happy space for the children to explore and grow. My little boy has a lovely time with her, especially playing in the mud-kitchen! Monique has a large variety of games, toys, crafts and activities that she puts on offer and also makes sure she spends quality time getting to know your child too! I can tell by the stories she shares that she knows my little boy's habits and interest and that is just wonderful for a mom to see! Monique keeps you updated with monthly newsletters and weekly observations so you always feel like you know what's going on and what is happening in her setting. Thank you for creating such a positive experience for my family and for caring so much!

Monique is everything you wish for a baby sitter. She is a lovely caring person, with a great personality, both my daughter and son loved her straight away.
I was a bit anxious about leaving my kids for the first time in 2 years with a total stranger but she was fantastic, kids were happy, so much that my daughter wanted her to stay overnight. She was communicating with us through messages so we knew how the kids were doing, if they ate their dinner and went to bed fine, which was of course the case. She is also very professional and trustworthy.
Since we found her we booked her twice already, she is definitely our first call when in need.

Monique is honestly like a fairy godmother, I can't believe how lucky I am to have found her. Our son is currently being diagnosed with ASD, we live in Spain but needed to come back to the UK for a few days to work and needed someone to look after our 3.5yr old. I was so worried about leaving him with a stranger but oh my goodness, our gorgeous boy loved every second of his time with Monique, in fact I think he prefers being with her more than us now, it's nowhere near as much fun with us. She's like a magician too because he slept better each night after being with her and I am sure he learnt a lot with her which is so encouraging for his development. I need Monique in my life and if I could just get her to move to Spain I completely would. I would happily recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a child that may have some special needs, she is gentle, quiet and kind and your precious ones will be completely safe and happy.

Monique babysat for us for the first time last week. It was also the first time we had left the girls with anyone other than family and she made me/us feel very at ease and happy to take on anything that fitted in with our usual routine. Monique updated me through the evening which was calming as I didn’t want to constantly be texting asking if everything was ok. I arrived home to a lovely canvas that they had all done together and a hungry Monique as the girls had stolen her sandwich and snacks lol (all healthy though may I add). Can’t wait to have her back xx

Monique babysat my three children. She was very friendly with the children and the parents and made us feel very at ease. She also came round to meet us before we left the children with her which added to us feeling comfortable. We would love for her to sit for us again.

Highly recommend Monique to anyone. She emits genuine energy and has a wealth of experience. Lovely clean setting full of toys and activities to help your baby come on leaps and bounds. Monique becomes more of a friend and goes above and beyond her call of duty! Thanks again.

Its my first time to have someone else look after my baby, I was so nervous but then Monique made me feel that my baby is safe with her. She also updated me of what my baby is doing and sent pictures of him with a big big smile!
