Lucy is our hero. She was able to help us out last minute with some night nannying when our 6 month old was struggling with jet lag. She was professional, punctual, kind, reassuring, confident, warm, aadorable, and proactive. After setting her up with our baby, it was like twenty pounds were lifted off our shoulders knowing he was in her care. She was flexible with our schedule and a very responsive communicator. We are keeping her number for our next trip here. We love Lucy!!!

Lucy has recently babysat our children. We have a 6 year girl and 5mth old boy and Lucy was great with them. We will definitely be asking Lucy to babysit for us again in the very near future and would highly recommend her.

Lucy has looked after our 11 month old daughter on a couple of occasions, for day time and bedtimes, and we can't recommend her highly enough! Lucy is warm, personable, punctual and professional and we have complete trust and confidence when leaving our daughter with her. Lucy sends us updates whilst looking after our girl and has been fantastic at keeping in touch throughout the whole process. We feel extremely lucky to have found a nanny like Lucy!

Lucy was an absolute star. We had a wedding to attend and needed an afternoon/evening babysitter for my 11 month old (who has never been looked after by anyone else), and Lucy was brilliant. She was punctual, professional and kept me updated throughout the day. My daughter was happy & settled when I got home and seemed to have had a lovely time! Highly recommend.

When I first met Lucy I knew she would be a great person to care for my daughter. My daughter of 3 years old always comes back from her time with Lucy with a fun memory made and beaming with a smile. She is also flexible when plans change.I highly recommend her.

I have known Lucy for a while now as doing add-hoc days and overnight. To sum up, very disappointing eventually and I will never recommend her to anyone. Extremely money and self-oriented rather than child-centred. Be careful

Response by lucy on 11/11/2022:
I’m beyond disappointed to read this review after it was 5 star last week. The only negative review I have received in all my years.
Totally the opposite to what other clients have experienced.
I am so sorry you feel like this.
I really enjoyed looking after your children for a couple of months.
Lucy has come in to our lives and has been totally brilliant in every way. My two girls (aged 2 and 5) have bonded quickly and enjoy their time with her. She is utterly reliable and punctual and a great person too. She is empathetic to our needs and does all she can to help. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Lucy looked after our 16 month old baby for an evening and full day whilst we were at a wedding in the area. Lucy instantly connected to our little one and had him chatting away to her within minutes, it normally takes him a while to warm up! Lucy had him totally engaged in play and handled his bath and bedtime routine with no problem. She gave me regular updates and kept my mind totally at rest so that I could enjoy the wedding. Lucy is an absolute pro and we only wished she lived closer!
Thanks Lucy!

In March my husband and I went on holiday without our children for the first time in a long time. Lucy was so helpful the whole time, an absolute professional and the children adore her. With plenty of activities planned and organised by Lucy the children were happy and entertained which made it so much easier for us to be away from them. Lucy was also wonderful in providing updates whenever we wanted to know how the children were doing and organising phone calls with them to suit our timings.
I couldn’t recommend Lucy highly enough, we will definitely be working with her for a long time to come. The entire time we felt confident that our children were safe and well looked after.

We have three handfuls aged 4, 6 and 8. Lucy has been an absolute natural and a pro in every way - the children love her and look forward to seeing her. Everything you could ask for in a nanny. Recommended without reservation!

Lucy has babysat for our 4 month old twins twice and I can’t recommend her highly enough! I was a little nervous leaving them but Lucy put me at ease and I came back to two happy contented babies. She got on really well with our 8 year old daughter too :-)
by Rebecca on 25/04/2022
Lucy is everything you want and more in terms of childcare. She is not only thorough and highly professional but she is also charismatically engaging around the children who are instantly captivated by her presence. She has a “spark” about her that cannot be found just anywhere… it’s special.
She instantly makes you feel at ease and slots into your family as if she was always there.

We had Lucy come in at short notice to help with our 3 year old who had broken his leg. She she so good, I cannot recommend enough! My son had a lovely time, painting, playing games and having stories read to him. I was upstairs working and I could hear him laughing and enjoying himself. Lucy is professional, capable and highly recommended.

Lucy looked after our 8 month old little girl for our wedding and was absolutely fantastic.
This was the first time she had been looked after by someone outside of the family and I couldn’t have been happier with the level of care Lucy gave. Lucy was professional and really informative, she visited us prior to the wedding to ensure both her and I were happy before the big day. Lucy was able to easily establish a relationship with our daughter who responded so well to her. She played, fed and changed her before getting her ready to join us at our venue. Whilst there, Lucy looked after our daughter and a number of our guests commented on how brilliant she was with her. She then took our daughter home and put her to bed. She sent regular text updates too.
Throughout the day nothing was too much trouble for Lucy and she was a calm and relaxed presence. I would undoubtedly highly recommend Lucy.
by MillieH on 17/12/2021
Lucy has an amazing effect on us all when she arrives - the children took to her straight away and I felt confident within minutes that they would be both happy and safe with her. She is calm, competent and loving and meant that when I was away at night I could relax knowing the children couldn't be in better hands. What a wonderful human being she is!
by Nina on 22/11/2021
Lucy bonded instantly with our three daughters - twins now aged four and our one year old baby. Three months later they all look forward to spending time with her and she always manages to find ways of keeping them stimulated, not least taking them for outings in her car.
We consider ourselves very lucky to have chosen Lucy!

Lucy looked after my 3 boys aged 2,5,6.
She was brilliant with them and they loved her as well.
I was worried as first time leaving my boys with a sitter but I felt at ease and Lucy sent me an update during the evening.
Would highly recommend and will be keeping Lucy for future sitting needs.
Lovely lady xxx

Lucy looked after our young baby while we went out together for the first time since giving birth. Lucy bathed the baby fed her and put her to bed, she also sent a photo half way through the night so we could see things were going well. When we arrived home our baby was sleeping calmly and slept right through until 6am. Lucy also kept our dog company while we were gone. I would highly recommend Lucy for babysitting.

Lucy has been working with my two children for over a year now two days a week. Lucy is a fantastic nanny, who is always punctual, and reliable, as well as being fun, understanding and nurturing towards the children. Lucy thinks of lots of fun things to do with them and focus’s on there needs and interests. Lucy always remains kind and calm with the children and is able to defuse challenging situations. I would recommend Lucy to anyone needing regular or one off sitting, she has the initiative and experience to jump straight into a role x
by Annie on 23/07/2019
Lucy was our our Nanny for our wedding day, she was absolutely fantastic taking the pressure off us and our family and allowing us all to really enjoy the day knowing that our daughter was safe and happy with Lucy. Nothing was too much trouble and she happily did a 12 hour day. Can’t recommend her enough whatever your childcare needs.
by Claire on 12/11/2018
Lucy is really lovely and got on really well with both my daughters straight away. Really trustworthy and reliable, so easy to talk to and get on with. felt comfortable leaving my girls with her without a worry and she kept in contact with me through the evening reassuring me that my girls are settled and being good and as a mum that goes a long way and is always lovely to hear. I would definitely let her have my girls again if and when I go out again. It was also lovely that Lucy told me when I got back that my girls were so good and they are a credit to me which was lovely to hear :)
by LLBR18 on 22/09/2018
Lucy has been great - I was very happy to leave my son with her. She was very good at communicating and was happy to come and meet us at our house before the day too. Would highly recommend her.
by musicmum on 08/06/2018
Extremely happy with Lucy's service, my daughter adored her and I felt comfortable and confident to have her child mind.
Unfortunately I was let down last minute as the babysitter was ill however Lucy stepped in and was here within a few hours!
Lucy kept in touch throughout the night (but without a bother) and was happy to stay till rather late without a time set as I was attending a charity event and didn't know what time it would be finished.
Overall Lucy is fantastic with children (and pets!) she is friendly, reliable and enthusiastic! I will be using Lucy's services in the future and would highly recommend her to everyone! 😊

Lucy worked for me earlier this year. Her role was a “Girl Friday”.
Her main role was to care for my 10 year old son, and school pick ups.
Her other duties included, cleaning, shopping, cooking and dog walking.
Lucy is very reliable and efficient. I found her to be totally honest and trustworthy.
My son who has autism and ADHD can be very challenging at times, however lucy coped brilliantly showing kindness but at the same time being firm. My son liked her very much.
As a great all rounder I can highly recommend Lucy, as a busy single mum running a business I found her help invaluable.
by Parent on 26/11/2017
She is so friendly, and my kids taken to Lucy, if I need a babysitter I will be using her again
