Thespia's Reviews

Thank you Suzy!

Suzy has been looking after our 2½ year old daughter since she was 14 months old. Over that time Suzy has been a nurturing, imaginative and passionate carer, taking time to develop our child’s emotional, physical and social skills. Suzy is particularly focussed on individualising the environment she has for each child she looks after, making sure they can explore their own areas of interest, in a safe and fun way.

We are often amazed at the new talents our daughter brings home with her, such as walking on stilts, singing a whole song by heart or putting herself down for naps. She also potty trained our daughter which made our lives much less messy! We have had cards, cakes and pictures our daughter makes with Suzy.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Suzy to any parent, especially those that are busy or work to tight schedules as she is always punctual and flexible. Thank you Suzy for being so amazing, we would be lost without you!

We could not wish a better space for our son!

We were so lucky to find Suzy! She is a wonderful, loving childminder with a lovely home well equipped with lots of interesting and educational toys. She is also fantastically well experienced and her knowledge helped us, first parents, a lot.

She sends regular diary reports and photos on Buda's activities, and how he is getting along. The children eat really well balanced home-cooked meals which is very important for us as our son has food allergy so he needs lots of extra nutrition.

The Montessori activities are very interesting and stimulating and great for Buda's learning and personal development. We are sure he is well looked after with plenty of stimulation, but also cuddles when he needs it

We could not recommend Suzy more highly and we are just so glad we found her. We are so grateful to her for looking after our son so very well.

lovely

Suzy has been looking after our 2 year old son, Henry, since he was 17 months old. Prior to Suzy coming to work with us Henry had not been looked after by anyone else apart from family and he was quite anxious around other people. As soon as Suzy arrived to meet us it was obvious she had extensive and valuable experience of working with children and communicated fantastically with Henry to make him feel confident in her presence. From day one Henry was happy to go out on his own with Suzy and, although he was often anxious when they first left the house, he was always arrived home smiling and laughing with Suzy and was sad to see her go. Now as soon as the door bell rings he shouts Suzy and runs out without his shoes on.
The experience that Suzy has had with children has made her a real asset to our family. She has taken time to build Henry’s confidence with different types of play and has helped him to become a very sociable little boy who plays well with other children and is very independent – he now puts on his own coat and shoes when she arrives so he is ready to head out with her.
Suzy has taken time to investigate different activities with Henry including exploring the local parks, going to the library, soft play and stay and play sessions. It is fantastic to have someone like Suzy who can make any activity exciting because with a new baby we often have not come up with a list of ideas for her before she arrives.
When my newborn Son Jasper arrived following a very difficult birth Suzy was brilliant. She was very flexible and was able to increase her hours working for us instantly as well as change days at short notice. She kept Henry happy by taking him to new and exciting parks so he was less unsettled by the changes at home and she was always on hand to help with Jasper as well when we were looking after Henry. Suzy is very confident with little babies and so natural and gentle. When I have struggled to calm Jasper she has happily stepped in and rocked him to sleep almost instantly which has been a huge help on chaotic days.
Sadly, as we are moving to Oxfordshire, Suzy will no longer be working for us. She will be greatly missed by us all especially Henry. We cannot recommend her enough and wish she could come with us.

Bubbly nanny

Would like to let you know that Suzy is a very professional and experienced nanny.
she is helping with my daughter 10-15 hours a week.
they are reading, drawing, singing, swimming. just really keeping my 5 years old busy.
My daughter has a problematic behavior, but I have to say that since Suzy started to work with her, she changed a lot. She became a better listener, she is eating better and as English is her 2 language(mine as well) she is learning a lot from her.
I am very pleased with her work, always providing new ideas, and suggesting new things to try with my daughter.
I have to say that Suzy is very professional, busy and popular nanny,
I would highly commander her services, she can make a real change in your children life.

Best Holiday Nanny

Suzy have been our holiday nanny for over 2 years now!
She is wonderful, energetic, full with ideas. My children adore her and they wouldn't spend any time with anybody else just her.
They always have amazing adventures at the parks, fun fairs, bowling, museum trips, swimming.... my children are vegetarian and Suzy is always providing lovely meals, freshly cook!
they love to bake, study and have fun together.
Suzy is just simply wonderful.
Thanks for all your help!!
