Our son has been going to Princess four days a week since he was five months old – he’s now 19 months – and we truly couldn’t be happier with the care she provides.
Our original plan was to hire a nanny, but that fell through at the last minute. We found Princess on this website and, looking back, we wish we’d gone with her from the very beginning. The setup has worked out perfectly from day one.
Our son absolutely loves going to Princess’s each day. We've never had any issues with drop-offs – no tears, no resistance – just a happy little boy eager to start his day.
Her home has a lovely, warm “home-from-home” feel, which we felt immediately reassured by. The space is safe, welcoming, and filled with age-appropriate toys, books, and engaging activities. There’s also a great-sized garden, which he enjoys playing in regularly, especially when the weather is nice.
Princess creates such a rich and varied routine for the children. As well as time at home for play, learning, and rest, she takes them out frequently – to the local common, playgrounds, and playgroups – where our son gets lots of opportunity to socialise with other children, which he absolutely loves. We’ve really noticed how confident and happy he is around others, and we know her efforts have played a big part in that.
Princess regularly sends us photos and videos throughout the day, and it’s clear he’s thriving in her care. He always looks content and engaged, whether he's playing, eating, or learning something new.
She provides a very high level of care and is clearly knowledgeable about early years development. We’ve seen a huge amount of growth in our son since he started with her. He’s hit all his milestones – crawling, walking, and now beginning to talk – and we credit much of that progress to the nurturing environment Princess creates.
She’s also incredibly supportive when challenges arise, whether it’s our son being unwell or going through a tricky phase with sleep. She’s always happy to offer advice and will adapt his routine where needed to support him.
The food Princess prepares is fantastic – healthy, varied, and home-cooked. Our son has become a real little foodie since he started weaning with her, and we love how adventurous his palate has become. It’s reassuring to know he’s eating such a wide range of nutritious meals.
Communication is another real strength. Every day we receive a full update on what our son has eaten, how long he’s napped for, and anything else of note. Princess always keeps us informed about things like teething, changes in mood, or any medication needed (with our permission first, of course).
Finally, Princess has been 100% reliable. We’ve never been let down, and she gives us plenty of notice for her two weeks of annual leave each year. As working parents, that consistency and trust means a great deal to us.
We feel very lucky to have found Princess and couldn’t recommend her more highly to other families.
