Chrissy has looked after our son since he was 13 months old. He is now over 3.5yrs old, and we are reluctantly leaving due to moving out of the area.
I wish we could stay (or take Chrissy with us!).
It has been wonderful to see our son go from non-verbal to chatting about his day and all the varied and engaging activities he's been taking part in. Chrissy does so much with the children, for example: baking, gardening, trips to the zoo, parks, Heath, museums, rhyme times, ballet, city farm, not to mention the arts, crafts and other educational activities in her home (which is set up like a mini nursery).
Chrissy had continued to improve her setting over the years we've been with her, for example improving the outside space. She is also proactive in buying or making new resources to support the growing interests of her children (for example putting solar system pictures up for our son).
We found Chrissy by accident (when a nursery place fell through), and now I couldn't be more grateful for that twist of fate.
With no family locally, Chrissy has been a huge part of our son's early years. We will be forever grateful for the love, care and devotion she has shown at all times. Chrissy will be remembered fondly and missed enormously. If only we didn't have to move.

Being new to London, I was nervous about leaving my son with a childminder. However, Chrissy quickly put my worries to rest. She has a wonderful way of settling children and has been instrumental in helping my son become less fussy with food. The trips they took were always exciting and educational, and I always see how much my son enjoyed them. Overall, I'm so grateful to have found Chrissy. She's provided excellent care for my son, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any parent seeking a loving and nurturing environment for their child.

Chrissy is the most wonderful childminder. Both my girls have been cared for by Chrissy since they were less than 12 months old and even when we moved to a totally different part of london I continued to drive them all the way there as I trusted Chrissy to look after them over all the other childcare settings I visited. Chrissy’s house is a proper little home. The girls greet her with open arms and can’t wait to get inside which is exactly what you want to see when you drop your children off. They receive lots of love and have lots of fun enjoying her huge amount of toys, varied games and creative activities and sweet outdoor play area. She cooks healthy home made organic food everyday, (no processed rubbish like many nurseries). Chrissy is extremely kind and so flexible, making life as easy as possible for working parents. She takes the stress out of childcare arrangements. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Our son has spent 1 and a half years at Chrissy's setting, and it has been wonderful experience from day one. When we started, it was a very easy settling-in period - it was our boy's first time in any kind of childcare setting having just turned one years old and he settled in very easily.
Since then he has loved going to Chrissy's and clearly has a lot of fun with the range of activities they do at hers - weekly baking (they take what they make home with them...how cute!), art, crafts, sensory play, visiting local playgrounds, Parliament Hill paddling pool, the library, the city farm and more. I can see that Chrissy regularly replenishes the toys and activities she has, and also nicely sets them up for the children each day. Chrissy is clearly very knowledgeable in looking after children and has a wealth of experience. When we potty trained out boy, for example, Chrissy straighforwardly continued the process that we had started at home.
We are only leaving Chrissy because we are moving to a different part of London. My boy is certainly very sad to leave her (and the little friends he has made there), as are we!

Chrissi and her team are absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend them!! We felt welcome from the first moment. This childminder has a big heart und really cares for your little one(s). They provide a stunning variety of activities for the kids (baking, crafting, cooking, trips to the zoo, playground, sensory play, reading, rhyme time etc) as well as self-cooked food which my son really enjoyed. My little one came to Chrissi with 10 months - and settled-in immediately. In the mornings he gets welcomed with a big smile and a hug. At pick-up he's always happy and had a great time.
Another plus I'd like to mention is Chrissi's flexibility when I needed different/longer hours. She always made it possible - even on very short notice!
So lucky we found her!!
