My setting is a home-from-home experience, and whilst I follow the same rules and guidance as nurseries (and pre-schools) which is set by Ofsted (called the EYFS), it is more suited to children who are perhaps too young for a big nursery setting. I am a much smaller setting so it means that they get pretty much 1-2-1 attention and I can help and can help them develop their learning skills, but through play.
Younger children (aged under two) also have the love and protection from a carer, and they are able to grow and progress in a protected environment with children of their own age but also children who are older, giving them more confidence as they grow older.
Home-based means that they are treated just like my family. Although I do have 2 children of my own. Any child in my care will experience the same loving care I brought my children up with. I love taking the childminded children to farms, woods, parks as well as soft play and playgroups to build up their confidence in larger social situations.

Demi was with us for nearly two years. She bought her lovely daughter to our house to care for my two girls (then, 8 & 5 years old) after school, three days a week. My girls loved spending time with her especially on days out in the summer and trips to the park.
Her dedication to their happiness has been apparent in their growth and the joy they express when she is around. We are grateful for the love and care she has provided and would highly recommend her services to any family seeking high-quality, compassionate childcare.

Demi was a huge part of our family for the 18 months she helped us with our twins (just 2 years old when Demi joined us). She is the total package: tireless, energetic, caring, fun, imaginative and focused on safety, education and health. The kids were always out doing interesting things, mostly outdoors (this is during the pandemic) and the place was always clean, not just tidy, when she left for the evening. Demi had to leave to have her own child, we were very sad to see her go.

Demi has looked after my 2 children now aged 4 and 7 for the last 2 years and has been an absolute god sent after returning to work full time. Demi's flexibility and willingness to work extra hours and days has greatly helped lessen the stress at being a working mum.
She goes above and beyond her work description, cleaning, helping with grocery shopping, and running errands when needed.
Both my children have developed a strong bond with Demi (on many occasions asking for her at the weekends) which is a testament to her caring, kind and fun nature.
My children have benefited hugely from having Demi as their nanny, their confident has growth so much since Demi arrived. The extra learning at home and after school activities, all of which are arranged by Demi (horse riding, ninja school, ballet and athletics) has been great for the kids and for the family as a whole.
Both my kids have started full time school hence the reason why Demi is looking to move on. My whole family is absolutely gutted to have to let Demi go.
I truly would highly recommend Demi to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, trustworthy and dedicated nanny.
