Elaine is just amazing! I was lucky to have found her when I did. She’s so incredibly accommodating and tries her best to follow routines we already had (or half had) and helped stabilise them. Being a first time mum has been made that bit easier by having Elaine around to share her wisdom. Our son was once a picky eater with barely any vocabulary and in just under a year, he’s now willing to try almost anything and constantly asks if “we going Elaines today?” He’s come along leaps and bounds and I have Elaine to thank for contributing to that.

Elaine has looked after both my children since they were babies and I couldn’t be happier or ask for more. Elaine is incredibly warm and caring and so willing to work with you as a parent. Both my children (now 4 & nearly 2) cheer every morning when we arrive! Elaine fosters a warm and caring home like environment, where the children have lots of different experiences, including outdoor play, crafts, library visits and playgroups to name a few. After so many years with Elaine she really is an extended member of our family and we all adore her! My children are prospering under her care and she is great at fostering their own independence too. I could not recommend her highly enough.

Elaine has a wonderful, relaxed setup. She is just so kind and sweet and always willing to help out where she is able. Elaine follows your little ones routine as best she can and tries to create an at home environment. Treating my little boy like he was her own grandson. ❤

Elaine is friendly, excellent at communication and her set up is perfect for young children.
Our son has allergies and is only 5 months old and Elaine was so accommodating and helpful.
We are sad to not have been able to continue our relationship but due to a move we will be too far away!
