Linda is the reason why I was able to go to work, and with a calm mind and heart that my kids was being taken care of. I can’t say thank you enough. My kids love her, I love her - she has become part of her family. Linda is very accommodating as well and we’ve even had a few sleep overs so Mama can have a break. She plans lovely activities with the kids and feeds and changes them amazing well. My kids have grown in leaps and bounds in her care. Thank you so much Linda we love you so much and are forever grateful ♥️🙏🏻👏🏼 xxx

Dear J
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for entrusting your two lovely angels to our care for such a long time. It's amazing to see how quickly time has passed, and it's hard to believe that my little princess is almost two years old since she was 8 months under our care. Your collaboration and support have made this journey incredibly smooth, and we are truly grateful for your trust and appreciation. Thank you for everything.
As my husband and I are both shift worker nurses we knew we would need a childminder instead of a nursery and on a friends recommendation we checked out Linda’s childminding service, and we are so grateful that we did.
Our son has been coming here since he was 9 months old, and he has the best time ever. Linda and co have settled him in so well, he has made lots of friends here and he loves it and smiles so much when we say he is going to his aunty Linda’s. Linda cares for him like he’s her own, she loves him and it doesn’t feel like he is going to his childminders it feels like he is going to a trusted family member.
Linda is attentive and cares about development, she raises concerns when needed, and celebrates all our sons achievements. Our son is always fed homecooked meals which he loves and we trust Linda one million percent when he’s in her care. She gives detailed updates and handovers about our sons day so we are always in the know.
Linda’s service is one of the many reasons we won’t move away from the Greenwich area and we’re thankful we can send any (hopefully) future children here.
If you are looking to choose a childminder, choose Linda. We are so so thankful for her and thankful that we did choose her and we couldn’t think of any team better than Linda’s to help raise our son in his younger years.
Thank you Linda and team, we love you!

Thank you for your heartfelt review . It warms our hearts to know that you appreciate our partnership in caring for your beloved baby M. Working together with you and your husband has truly made a difference in providing the best care for our little one. We are grateful for the joy and happiness you bring to M's life, and it's incredible to witness his growth and development under our care. Time flies indeed, and seeing him nearing his second birthday fills us with both pride and nostalgia. Thank you for your dedication and teamwork towards baby M care. We look forward to many more wonderful moments ahead.
Linda has been looking after my daughter for nearly 3.5 years and I can't say even a half bad word about her and her services. She treats You and Your child as a part of family, she does lots of learning with evidence which You can easily access to. She so pure,warm,friendly and at the same time so proffesional and hard working. I can trulyyyyy recommend her to everyone. Auntie Linda,we love YOU!:****

Dear Zee,
Thank you so much for your review and trusting us to care for your lovely daughter,i remembered how curious you were the day you came for viewing. Oh she is a Covid-19 time born baby, it's her first time..... But look at how she settled and even was an outstanding baby on my Ofsted inspection day as the inspector spotted her, she loved and appraised her smartness.
Linda is just bespoken! She 's just got everything what You expect from a carer of Your child! Her personality, passion,commitment,flexibility, care, attitude are 100% excellent! She has beautiful setting with a great outdoor area and playroom, the food is excellent, children have various opportunities to learn through play and achieve their learning goals so quickly! Linda will never lie to You, she is always reliable and You just know Your child is in great hands... Our daughter loves her so much we miss You Linda! Highly recommended!

I rang Linda when my childcare fell through last minute. My lil one loved her and enjoyed every moment he spent with her. She kept me updated with his activities and also sent loads of pictures. I could not recommend her enough. I was very comfortable leaving him with her and I didn't worry at all.

Linda is a kind, thoughtful, hard working lady, who always puts the needs of the child first. She is diligent in taking on instruction from parents about a child's specific needs and schedule etc, and we have never had any problems. She goes above and beyond to make your child happy as they play and learn throughout the day. Linda has shown a unique care and love for our family that I will miss dearly as we move away in a couple of months. I would highly recommend trying Linda as your childminder!

Highly recommend Linda, I met her in the summer whilst trying to find emergency childcare for my two sons and thankfully she was able to help, I’m so glad I met her and my boys loved going to auntie Linda’s house. She is always cheerful and great with the kids and been a great help to me when needed. My boys were so pleased to see her again this week, I have no doubt in recommending her x

Thank you so much for another wonderful review of yours 😊
Remember it all works well when parents, teachers and childminders work together as a team. You have not only been a super teacher but a great supporter in all area with your daughter's care all the time. The energy in you is incomparable, after all the hard job at school, you still come back and engage me and your little angel on activities 🥰
Yes i made it because you have been supper supportive, thanks for all those materials you provided for us. I can spot the difference of team work, working with supportive parents and being a teacher.

Our daughter attends Linda's setting for almost 2.5 years now and we couldn't find a better childcare provider than her! Our daughter is always very happy there and always very excited in the morning when she knows she goes to auntie Linda! Yesterday she played at home with her phone toy and she acted like she talks with auntie Linda hehe. Linda and her assistant always ensure our daughter and all the other kids there are engaged im the activities and having a great time! Thank You for the excellent care Linda!!!

I would highly recommend Linda as she has been fantastic with my 5 year old. Her setting is like home away from home and my boy doesn't miss being away from me or home during the summer holidays. Linda has been super flexible with my childcare requests and been accommodating whenever possible. She is organised and has a range of activities to offer children both educational and transferable activities to help with child development. Every single day - weather permitting my boy has been out and about enjoying the summer holidays with Linda and other children at the setting. I am happy to recommend Linda to other parents as I continue to use her services for the future.

Thanks for your review
Linda is very attentive to the children, my 3 and 5 year old boys are really happy to go and be with her during the day and they come home happy and they have eaten well. Linda takes them on trips to the park and sends me pictures of there activity. Linda has a lovely setting for the children in her home. She is really great at her role and leaves me feeling confident about the care my boys are receiving when I'm not there. I would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future.

Everyone wants a minder who will care for their children as much as them and Linda has proved to be so, very caring and my children Who are 5 and 9yrs old are always looking forward to going to her as she indulge them in fun way of learning activities, and has every day packed with different activities my children are always looking forward to going, she teaches them how to make healthy food, assist with school work and has also created her own educational activities, in short to summarise it all in my children’s word “she is amazing and the best”
