We sent our daughter to Nanna when she was turned one and I returned to work. Isla very quickly settled into the house hold with Rosie and the other children. I would go to work and not have to worry about her- knowing she was being cared for brilliantly, safely and professionally. Rosie has many years of experience caring for babies which I do not think you can beat. Isla has grown up to be a fun, loving, caring person which is all you could hope for. Rosie also cooks very delicious and nutritious food for her children. We miss her greatly. Rosie helped up one night when we had an emergency and I had to go to hospital- Isla was safe with her and we did not have to worry which was amazing. I would recommend Nanna to anyone looking for a home from home environment.

Nana Rosie - The Best Childminder
My daughter has been with Rosie since 2019, when she was 5 months old. She is now 3.5 years old.
I don’t have family in England so Nana Rosie is our lifeline.
It was a huge relief to leave my daughter with her when I returned to work full-time. I felt confident and happy that she was well-cared for. That care has never lessened as she has grown.
She has been fed the best organic food and educated exceptionally well.
Since taking her first steps at Nana's house, to weaning and then potty training, Nana has held our hands every step of the way.
I can see that my daughter (our only child) is well-developed mentally and emotionally in relation to children her own age - that’s a huge reflection of Nana’s care.
Nana loves her as if she was one of her own children, and it shows when my daughter hugs her goodbye.
Please don’t hesitate to let Nana care for your children.
She truly has a heart for children!

Rosie has been the most incredible support to our family, taking care of our daughter, Willa, since she was 9 months old. Willa attend's Rosie's house three days a week and is incredbily happy there. They enjoy the long afternoons, playing outside in the garden and the monrings learning through play with Rosie's beautiful and never ending selection of toys (mostly wooden). Rosie is the most experienced carer I have ever come across and it was this vast experience and endless knowledge of childcare that drew me to her and gives me the confidence to take care of our daughter. She has a montessori approach to learning, which Willa and I try to follow at home, and she instills manners into her babies and children, which again, is something we feel is important to us. She also cooks delicious organic food for the children and isn't afraid to let them try new tastes. She's completley reliable, communicative and quite simply a real life Mary Poppins. We all adore her and could not recommend her anymore.

Rosie took perfect care of our daughter, Sofia, from seven months to two years old. At first, it was very difficult for me to trust Sofia's care to anyone else but Rosie's love for Sofia, and vice versa, was apparent from the start and put my mind at ease. Sofia learned so much from Rosie who always had the children in her care active and enjoying each other's company. Sofia is an incredibly energetic child and yet was always at her best behaviour when with Rosie. So much so that my husband and I would enquire as to how Rosie did it. But our most grateful moment for Rosie is when at a moment's notice on a Sunday, she gracefully offered to take care of Sofia when I unexpectedly went into labour with Sofia's younger sister. Both Sofia and her sister would still be at Rosie's had we not moved home. Rosie is a lovely person who always prioritized the health, safety and happiness of her children. I could not rate her higher and all children would be lucky to benefit from her care.

Rosie has been looking after my little girl, Indigo, 2 days a week since she was 8.5months (now 1.5 years). During that time Rosie has continually gone above and beyond to form a special bond with our daughter.
Indigo had separation issues at first but Rosie patiently continued to help make Indigo feel safe and secure. As a parent when I leave my child with Rosie I know she is safe!
Since being in Rosie’s care Indigo has shown fantastic development, her physical progress and vocabulary is ever expanding. It’s so exciting when Indigo comes home to hear what new words she has learnt.
Indigo loves spending so much time in the garden and playing with the other children - being with the slightly older children in Rosie’s care has also definitely help with social skills.
Rosie has also given great take home advice to us a parents, whenever I have any question she is always happy to help.
Rosie is definitely our Mary Poppins!
