Roxy is amazing, as someone with anxiety she has helped my son settle in her setting really well. He’s thrived so much, as someone who used to work in early years she’s blown away my expectations. Roxy thank you so much, everyday my son is happy going there and leaving he’s never crying. She goes out her way when there’s a last minute emergency I can’t imagine anyone else taking care of my son. Honestly hands down I recommend Roxy, her assistant are amazing thank you Mariana for being patient with me and I can see how much you adore my son.

Thank you🤗
We have been sending our daughter to Roxy since she was 8.5 months old. I was so nervous about leaving her with anyone at first but Roxy instantly made me feel at ease. She has a very warm manner and my daughter settled immediately. Roxy has been very flexible which has also been a massive lift when trying to juggle work. It is a happy, healthy and safe environment and all the children seem very happy. My daughter has always been so happy to go there and has made lots of friends!
Roxy’s assistants are also wonderful and take care of the children like their own. It’s like a little family. They do lovely activities together and sing and read regularly. They also take them to the park or library and play in the garden. I am very happy with my daughter’s development.
The food is all home cooked and my daughter eats more with Roxy than she ever does at home! She also sleeps for longer too!
I would highly recommend Roxy and her team if you are looking for a small, loving environment which has been absolutely perfect for the first few years of my daughter’s life. Thank you so much Roxy and team 😊

Our daughter has been going to Roxy’s since she was around 8months and is turning two next week. She goes five days a week and absolutely loves it, it feels like she’s got a 2nd family to go to each day. She smiles going in and coming out - it was the perfect choice for us.
If you want your child to be left in a loving, caring and nurturing environment, then i would highly recommend Roxy and her team.
Our little girl was slightly delayed with her walking, Roxy was focused in developing her which was amazing. I have also found that it’s been great, her being in a mixed age group environment - she has lots of lovely friends and in constantly mentioning their names. We often get photos of her drawing or doing activities which is lovely and she seems to love all the food 😊 Thanks Roxy and the team ❤️

My son is been going to Roxy since he was 19months old, now he's nearly 4 and I can see how many progresses he's done! He was very shy at the beginning, but everyone gave him a warm welcome and make him feeling like home. Now he's very sociable, he has his friends there and he's happy to go. He's also bilingual, ( Italian and English ) so for him it was another big step. But now he speaks and understand very well both languages. He's learning every day and we are happy whit that ☺️

I felt very nervous looking for childcare for my baby as all parents are I think. But all my anxiety vanished once I met Roxy! My daughter is going to her since she was 8 months old (now she is 19 months). Settling was very easy, my daughter liked Roxy straight away so I felt relieved leaving her in Roxy’s hands. She teamed up with another 2 experienced ladies and I can highly recommend all 3 of them! They cook for the kids fresh every day which is very important for me. Also, Roxy is very accomodating as I have a job that may require me to take extra shifts and I can always take my daughter to her on those days. My daughter is running towards Roxy’s house every morning, she loves her pals and she always comes home with a new dance move. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you so much for taking care of my baby ♥️

As a new mom I was very scared to send off my son who at the time was only 8 months, but from the very first meeting we felt at ease. After looking into other childminders we knew Roxy was the perfect fit for us. My son settled in very well and enjoys going into Roxy's care. Her assistants are also wonderful and my son has gotten very attached to them. We were also very grateful for Roxy's flexibility with regards to timing/days and she was always a phone call away whenever we needed it.
Its a safe, clean environment where our children can play and learn, and I think that is the most important thing.
We are moving outside of London which is why sadly we are leaving Roxy but if we were remaining here this would have been my son's second home until school age!

Roxy and her team have looked after our little girl since she was 12 months old and is now nearly two and a half.
We feel very blessed to have found Roxy as the care she and her team have provided has been really wonderful. Our girl needed extra care for the first year as she had to have surgery when she was born and couldn't eat solid food for quite some time. Roxy made us feel very at ease and confident that she was being very well cared for during this time.
Our little one is always very excited to go to Roxy's each day and has made some wonderful little friends. They are definitely like a family to her. I really appreciate the menu of home cooked food that Roxy sends us each week which is made up of some healthy delicious food that she prepares.
I would highly recommend Roxy to anyone looking for a nurturing, fun and warm place for their little one to go to.

Roxy has looked after our son since he was ten months old. Now almost three, he is a happy, chatty, kind, and curious little boy, who has hit all the right milestones for his age - a testament to the supportive environment Roxy and her staff create.
What sets Roxy apart is her genuine love for the children in her care. It's clear that she and her staff go above and beyond to create a warm and nurturing environment where children can thrive and feel valued. Our son has not only found friends but a second home where he feels safe and cherished.
Roxy is just as kind to the parents! She is understanding and flexible about routines and also the unexpected events life and work throw at you. We feel very fortunate to have found such a dedicated and caring childminder for our son's first years.

Dear Parents,
I wanted to take a moment to share my heartfelt recommendation for Roxana, our incredible childminder who has been caring for our twins since they were 9 months old. Initially, I was filled with anxiety about leaving my little ones at such a tender age, but from the moment I met Roxana, I was instantly smitten and filled with confidence.
Roxana's gentle and warm demeanor immediately put us at ease. I truly believe there is no childminder more caring and nurturing than her. Whenever I called with a question or concern, she always responded with kindness, and we consistently received thoughtful feedback about our children's well-being and development.
Under Roxana's care, our children learned invaluable skills such as dressing themselves, feeding independently, and expressing gratitude from a very young age. Her dedication to providing an excellent education shines through, and I am convinced that she has played a significant role in shaping our children's educational journey. With demanding jobs, my husband and I found it impossible to be with our children during the day, but Roxana's presence has been a blessing.
Today, as our children transition to primary school, I am filled with gratitude for the love and guidance Roxana has provided to our family. She has truly become an integral part of our lives, and we will forever cherish the memories and lessons our children have gained under her care.
In conclusion, I cannot recommend Roxana highly enough to any parents seeking a compassionate and nurturing environment for their children. She is not just a childminder; she is a true gem who has left an indelible mark on our family's hearts.

Roxana has been an absolute blessing for our family! Our son has been in her care for over three years now, and we couldn't be happier with the love, attention, and guidance she provides. Roxana creates a nurturing and stimulating environment where our son not only feels safe but also thrives. Her dedication to the children in her care is evident in every interaction. She goes above and beyond to ensure each child's individual needs are met and fosters their development with creativity and patience. We are forever grateful for Roxana's commitment and the positive impact she has had on our child's early years. She truly is a gem in the world of childcare

My son went to Roxy and team for over 2 years, in that time he grew to love them and really enjoyed his time there. He learned a lot and their curriculum changed as he did to get the most out of his time there.
They were warm, kind and he never stopped talking about the food :)

Roxy and her assistants provide a loving and caring environment for our son who has been going there since he was 7 months old. He always comes home happy and is excited to go there in the morning. Roxy provides lots of activities and a varied menu throughout the week. She is really flexible and we are so glad we found her. She will be picking my son up when he starts preschool and we know if we need any last minute babysitting duties she will help us out.

Roxy looked after our son from when he was 10 months old to over a year when we sadly moved house and had to switch childcare.
She provided him with such a great first childcare experience. She has such a warm nature and our son absolutely loved coming to her. He always came home happy, tired and well nourished with all her lovely cooking. We will miss you Roxy!

Roxy and her team have been a true blessing for our family. Our autistic son has been going to Roxy for the past year and she, and her practitioners, have made this experience amazing for us, as parents, but most importantly for our non verbal boy. From the start we felt at ease taking him to Roxy, the transition has been so smooth, we felt he is enjoying his time away from us, that he is well looked after, that he is safe. When having a child on the spectrum, the most important part of navigating childcare is finding people that you can trust. We are very grateful for the love and kindness that he received in this family setting and we feel very sad to say goodbye. Thank you and your team for everything, we will miss you deeply!!!!

On first meeting Roxy, we both instantly felt comfortable to leave our children with her, we knew they would always be safe and well looked after. Roxy has a beautiful house with a variety of toys and an amazing garden. Roxy and her assistants are absolutely caring childminders. My daughter and son have attended for a couple of months. My son was under 1 year old and he absolutely loves it there.
I can't thank Roxy enough for taking good care of my kids, she is personable, kind and attentive and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful and caring childminder.
Thank you so much Roxy

We've watched our son grow in confidence and understanding since he has been with Roxy, which is no doubt down to the environment she provides. He always comes home happy with new words and new songs, and loves telling us about his day.

My Son had a hard time in Nursary at 12 months old, then we found Roxy and his personality blossomed. He is now 20 months and loves going to Roxy’s and loves her and her team so much. They took the time to get to know my son and learn what he needs to sleep and eat and be the best version of himself. He is happy and loved in an environment full of cuddles, games, learning and laughter. I can’t recommend enough.

Roxi provided amazing service, my child and myself were treated as being a part of her family.
Her home is always welcoming, clean and well organised.
Roxi is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining my children's confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home.

They give the children so much love and warmth, our daughter is very attached to everyone there. Roxy is very flexible to work with around sleep, potty training etc. She has a good routine for the kids and our daughter has often come home liking new foods, even veggies. Roxy has been fantastic with potty training and really helped us to get to grips with this. Our daughter is happy and confident and loves making new friends and I am sure that this is down to roxy and her team!

My son has been going to Roxy's since he was 11 months old (now 2). My son is always so happy when we arrive at the door and loves going there. It feels like an environment full of love and cuddles. He eats and sleeps well there and does a variety of different activities, from visiting the local parks, going to the library or just playing with his friends. He's always learning new things, but the main thing for me is that it feels like I'm sending him somewhere that he is loved. We're all so happy.

My daughter has been Roxy and her team since she was 14 months old. Being a baby who had spent most of her time in lockdown we were worried about her settling in but there was no need. She instantly settled and loves to go everyday. It is such a loving and warm environment where she is encouraged and helped to gain new skills. She often comes home talking about what she has done and telling us about learning something new. I would highly recommend and am so thankful for all the daily care they put into their work!

I would highly recommend roxy and her assistants to anyone looking for childcare in Leyton.

Our daughter started with Roxy when she was 9 months old - when she started with Roxy she was naturally shy with many people but instantly warmed to Roxy! Now 2.5 years old, sometimes she doesn't want to come home because she loves being at Roxy's so much :)
Roxy and her assistants provide a really warm environment - we can tell how much they love the kids and truly care about their wellbeing and development.
Our daughter looks forward to going to Roxy's to see her friends everyday, and we feel so lucky to have found Roxy!

I started sending my son to Roxy when he had just turned one and I was returning to work. I chose Roxy as I was looking for a small intimate family environment and somewhere less than 5 minute walk from my house. I also liked the fact Roxi’s house and garden was set up for children.
I fully recommend Roxy and her assistants if you are looking for a a family environment. You can tell that they just love the kids from the pictures and videos that they send.
If you are looking for a family environment then Roxy is the one.
