Severine has been looking after our little boy since January this year and it was the best decision we ever made! I was so anxious about leaving my son with someone else when I returned to work but Severine made it so easy. Our boy happily runs into her house every morning, waving goodbye and barely looking back. He comes home every day with a huge smile on his face and it's amazing to see how happy he is there.

Severine has such a loving and nurturing setting, and she takes them on fantastic outings - often going to different parks, playgroups, local farms, zoos and even museums. Her communication with us is great. At pickup we get such a detailed account of our son's day, and we often receive photos, videos and updates during the day. Our boy has totally thrived under her care - he totally came out of his shell with her, and his talking, singing and counting has developed hugely. Severine is also incredibly reliable and trustworthy. Having someone we can trust with our child has been such a relief.

Severine's daughters are so kind to our boy - he often talks about her youngest and they play so nicely with him. The other children under her care are so sweet and she has clearly created such a loving and warm environment for them all.

I would not hesitate to recommend Severine to anyone looking for care for their child. I still can't believe how lucky we got!

Séverine has been looking after our daughter for the past year and we count our lucky stars every day that we found her as she is truly the best. She is everything and more you could ever want in a childminder - completely trustworthy, loving, patient, engaging and our daughter absolutely adored her from day one.

Our daughter runs in the door smiling every morning at drop off, without hesitation or even a look back. It is a joy to see and makes it so much easier as a working parent knowing our daughter is in the best place.

Séverine always fills every day with wonderful exciting activities such as beautiful craft making, trips to the parks, adventures to the farm etc. We love getting all the pictures and updates and seeing the complete happiness on our daughter’s face every day.

Our daughter also adores Séverine’s beautiful children who are so loving and kind to the children she looks after. They are a true credit to her.

She goes above and beyond caring for all the children and is so attentive to each of them. Her communication with parents and the children is fantastic and our daughter has absolutely flourished in her care.

We would not hesitate for a moment recommending her as you will not find anyone better to look after your child. She is a truly special lady.

From the moment we met Séverine I knew that I would trust her completely to look after our child.

She is absolutely amazing: trustworthy, reliable, incredibly loving and patient with all the children she looks after and brings so much delight to them every day. She is always doing wonderful craft activities, baking and going on adventures to the City Farm/various local playgroups.

Our daughter adored Séverine from the get-go and they have always had a wonderful relationship. Each morning our daughter runs in with hardly a backwards glance, she's always been so happy to be there which made the return to work much easier for me.

Séverine's children are also incredible and totally delightful. They are so kind to the children she looks after. Our daughter loves hanging out with the big girls and is always trying to emulate the things they do and telling us they are her best friends.

Séverine is so attentive and considerate with all the children at her setting, really getting to know them and working out how to bolster their confidence and help them learn new skills. We often ask for her advice and support when we face new parenting challenges and she's been brilliant at helping our little one prepare for big life events (house moves, new sibling etc). She's always great at keeping us updated with anything we need to be aware of and we love getting the pictures from the day when she sends them through.

She really does feel like part of the family and I would recommend her without hesitation. We signed little bro up as soon as there was space available and couldn't imagine him going anywhere else!

There is simply no better childminder than Séverine.

She has cared for our son since he was a baby through being a toddler. He runs through the door in a morning as he is so happy to be there - it is such a relief being able to leave him in a home where he is so happy. At the end of the day you can tell he’s had a great time!

During quarantine he was desperate to go back. He settled in well, both when he first started at the childcare setting, but also after quarantine. Séverine always ensures the smoothest transition. She goes above and beyond for their care - you can tell she genuinely loves the children and wants to provide the best for them.

Séverine has been a rock in our lives - helping with everything from behaviour, language (French and English), food habits, general development and most of all our son’s happiness. What also makes her stand out is communication with parents - she is so attentive.

Her whole family are so lovely - her daughters, and the other children she looks after, feel like family to our son. We can not recommend Séverine enough - and her places go fast!

Severine has been caring for our little girl Florence (2) 3 days a week for just over 12 months. It’s hard returning to work and leaving your little one in childcare but finding Severine was the best thing to happen to us!

Florence has come on so much this last year. She absolutely adores Severine, her family and the other children in her care. It’s a joy dropping her off and collecting her each day. She has thrives in Severine’s care and we are so grateful! The care Florence receives is second to none and it’s so clear to see that Severine is a natural with children as well as throwing herself into the development and education of little ones. Her communication, with patents and children alike, is exceptional.

Severine is an inspiration to us and we trust her completely...we often sought her advice on childcare related issues and I don’t know what we’d have done without her this last year. My husband and I couldn’t be more content when Flo is with Severine and we consider her part of our extended family. When we leave London we’ll all miss her so much!

It's immediately obvious that Severine loves children and her job: she is always smiling and full of positive energy, she takes the children to loads of fun activities (soft play, parks, picnics), her house is full of toys and crafts, and she is always soft-spoken and incredibly patient.

Our 2-year old has loved going to Severine's and settled-in almost immediately, despite the fact that it was the first time he was not with his parents. Plus, Severine spoke to him in French, which was a great boost for his vocabulary (he now says lots of French words).

If you are looking for a reliable, gentle, fun childminder, I would recommend Severine in a heartbeat!
