Maddy looked after my youngest (18 months) for the day last week. I rarely leave him with anyone, so I watched over the situation for the first hour. My son was instantly comfortable and happy with her. She kept him well fed, hydrated, entertained and clothed, and kept me informed throughout the day. I also found Maddy to be very easy to speak to and easy to get along with. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Thank you guys so much it was lovely to meet you all.
And F was a pleasure to look after.
Maddy (alongside her lovely daughter) has been with us since December last year picking up our 6yo boy & 4yo after school and occasionally doing extra days in holidays.
I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she was warm, reliable, punctual and incredibly attentive, and has taken excellent care of our kids.
What made the experience even more special was her well-mannered 4yo daughter, who quickly became a wonderful playmate for our little ones. Their bond is heartwarming to watch.
We are happy to recommend Maddy for any of your childcare needs.
