Hilary looked after our little boy, Ethan, full-time for about 14 months and we couldn't have asked for a better childminder. He settled in straight away and always came away happy - there were times when he didn't want to come home!

Both I and my husband work full-time in central London and our schedules could be quite demanding at times, but Hilary's willingness to be flexible and accommodating helped relieve the pressure on some of our more hectic days!

All in all, Hilary is a fantastic childminder and I would recommend her to anyone. The only reason we sadly had to stop using her was because we moved out of the area - had we stayed around I'm confident Ethan would have stayed with her until the day he started school!
