Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Little Monsters. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Chava has looked after our two sons both on a full-time and part-time basis over the last 4 years. She had them from early ages (one at 7 months and one at 2 months) as we were juggling a London-based job, and then setting up a business.
Chava gave the boys a lovely, comforting, constant childcare experience which was very important given their young ages. It was such an easy, 'team caring' effort between us and her service gave us the flexibility we needed in the working day. I had had no experience of home-based child-minding before but it has easily been the best decision we ever made.
The best reference I can give is that my eldest son, now at school, loves going back to Chava's when he can in the holidays, and has asked for extra 'Chava pick ups' from school!
From a practical point of view Chava taught them so many key skills from toilet training to dressing in their outdoor clothes independently to beautiful table and meal-time manners which we use at home.
