We were absolutely delighted with the care that Olaide provided our two children. Our one year old was with Olaide full time, while she also picked up her eldest from pre-school and had her in the afternoons.
Olaide is a simply lovely person and that shows in the warm, attentive and loving care she gives each child: she is incredibly experienced, so completely unflappable, very nurturing, very organised, flexible and reliable. Both our girls really thrived under her care and we greatly appreciated her wisdom. She also managed to get our rather picky eldest to eat a huge range of food types!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Olaide to anyone. She provides an incredibly home-like set up and offers personalised care for her charges.

Olaide provides a wonderful and loving environment for the children she cares for. She has opened up her home and family to us. Olaide has looked after our second child since February 2020. Our eldest child was cared for by Olaide for over two years and still loves to go at pick-up time to say hello.
The children respond so well to Olaide’s direction and care. She encourages them with a variety of play, whether that’s painting or sand or water in her lovely garden, as well as lots of running around in the nearby parks. They spend a lot of time exploring outdoors. Olaide has a close group of fellow childminders who all meet up, so there are other children to socialise with as well as the close group that she looks after.
Our children love being with Olaide, they are very happy to be there. And this also goes for parents too, we place high value on her support and advice to us. We feel very lucky to have found her and wholeheartedly recommend.

I can’t recommend Olaide highly enough. She looked after our daughter for two and a half very happy years. We have recently moved out of London and leaving Olaide was one of the biggest wrenches.
Olaide provides a wonderful, relaxed, homely environment for the children in her care. We used to think of Olaide as a third parent and asked her advice on all sorts of things. Her own family built up a lovely relationship with the children as well. Prior to lockdown Olaide took the children on lots of outings to different parks and playgroups. As we were key workers, Olaide kindly carried on looking after our daughter in lockdown and made sure that she still had lots of interest and stimulation despite the restrictions, including making full use of her large garden.
We all miss Olaide a great deal!

Olaide has looked after Henry since he was nine months old and our whole family adore her. Being an Early Years teacher myself, I thought I would find it difficult to find someone I trusted with the development of my son for long hours every day. Henry quickly settled in to joining Olaide's beautiful family and has benefited enormously from the inner warmth that radiates through all that she does. She is very dedicated to the children in her care and guides them with clear boundaries and enormous amounts of care and affection. She provides a welcoming and safe environment with regular trips to the park as well as a good variety of craft and play opportunities. She also produces delicious home cooked food and is still the only person that can get Henry to eat his vegetables! Olaide is an experienced mother and her advice has been incredibly valuable over the past four years. My son has now started school but she continues to help with school pick ups and flexible holiday care. Henry has flourished under her warm, loving nature and I am very grateful for the positive impact she has had on his life. I cannot recommend Olaide's services highly enough.
