We initially used a popular nursery (based in Stoke Newington) for our daughter and although the care provided was great, with a large number of other children for her to play with… we found the hours of operation to be very restrictive for our needs (which is true for most nurseries TBH). Both my wife and I work outside of London and therefore are dependent on trains and public transport running effectively for our transport needs. This means that if a train is cancelled or a road accident occurs, neither of us could guarantee to get back to the nursery on time to collect our daughter (which was very stressful for us both).

A friend recommended N16Childminder and although we were initially apprehensive whether the level of childcare would comparable with the nursery, switch to N16Childminder was probably the best decision we made.
We were really impressed with N16Childminder childcare knowledge, professionalism and attitude. She regularly provided us with detailed reports on our daughter progress and supported us helping to weaning our daughter from milk to solid foods and toilet training.

Her childcare setting was also impressive, providing a large play area, filled with toys and activities with additional outdoor greenspace (including a slide – which our daughter loves!). We found our daughter was also never lonely and we generally have at least 2-3 other children of similar age to play with daily.
Finally, we really appreciated Inesa’s flexibility to meet our childcare needs, always happy to extend our childcare service hours adhoc if we were running behind (which meant we did not need to feel so stressed out rushing back).

Thank you N16Childminder!
