We cannot recommend the childcare services of Veronika Harper highly enough. In the two years that Veronika worked for us, she has done far more than care for our children - she, and her daughter have become part of our family. Veronika has an outstanding relationship with our children, whom she has helped to raise since the ages of 3 and 5.

Veronika's approach to both discipline and pastoral care is superb and she has been keen to replicate our own approaches in order to maintain consistency - she immediately formed a strong rapport with the children. In addition, we have learnt from Veronika's approaches to childcare too.

Veronika is reliable, flexible and attentive but goes beyond the requirements of any nanny or childcarer I have known. Not only does Veronika care for the children, take them on trips and to clubs, plan activities for them, ensure homework is completed to the proper standard but she also helps us to ensure that we are kept up-to-date on all issues relating to the children - often acting as a PA too, to help ensure our family runs effectively.

Veronika has kept us sane and minimised the impact of our work on the children over the past two years. We are incredibly sad to lose Veronika, due purely to location, as would happily have employed her for as many years as she would have us!
