Our son started going to Chrissy’s in Belsize Park when he was 15 months old and stayed with her for a year, until September 2025. As first-time parents, we had plenty of worries in the beginning and probably overthought everything, from settling in to communication and daily routines. But very quickly we realised he was in the right place.

Chrissy and her lovely team (2-3 assistants) created such a warm, caring environment. Our little boy settled in so easily and never cried at drop-off, which says it all really. Communication on WhatsApp worked for us, and we loved getting regular photos. Chrissy also organised some local day trips during the warmer months, sometimes even on a rainy day, which was a nice bonus.

Over the year, we saw our grow so much. He made friends, became more confident, more social and really thrived. If we had a second baby, we honestly wouldn’t think twice. We’d go straight back to Chrissy.

We had a positive experience and would happily recommend her to any parents looking for a kind, reliable childminder.
