Elisha and her team are absolutely great with my 11 month old son. Leo first joined when he was 8 months and had bottle refusal and very slow progression onto solids. They have been very caring with him and super supportive. Leo’s eating as well as napping has improved so much since joining. Elisha has a great setting, very child oriented and Leo loves being there, I cannot recommend her enough!

Elisha has been amazing with our son who started with her when he was 3 months old. She's caring and really understands babies and young children. She's supported him through the early development stages and baby milestones and provides a great setting for childcare. She's super communicative and you always know your child is well looked after when with her. I highly recommend.

Honestly, elisha has got to be one of the best childminders out there. She is absolutely amazing at her job and really takes care of the children like her own. I am so impressed by her boundless energy and hard work- it really is incredible. My 2 year old has been attending for a year and he absolutely loves it there and it is like a home away from home for him. I absolutely trust her and her amazing assistants that they will always take amazing care of the kids and keep them safe as well as keeping them learning, growing, developing. I know they have the best interests of the children in mind. Elisha is a fountain of knowledge and I am constantly seeking out her advice. Her home is also absolutely incredible. I doubt there is another childminder setting that is comparable. It is absolutely a children's paradise. She put so much effort into creating a wonderful, beautiful space for the children to grow and learn in. We are so lucky to have found her. Simply superb.

I'm very happy to recommend Elisha and her wonderful setting! My son spent 10 months with Elisha and her lovely assistants Kieley and Lynne, who all treated him like their own. Elisha has an incredible amount of energy and puts a lot thought into what can be learned via play and games, with different themes for every day and a whole house makeover for special occasion days (birthdays, Christmas, Easter, St Patricks' Day, Valentines' Day etc) - my son's speech and learning definitely came on so much. Elisha always kept us updated every day with photos and videos of what was happening each day. The house is also like a baby and toddler wonderland, with so many toys and fun things to do, including an outdoor space and sandpit. Her setting is spotlessly clean and we were always happy with the balance of nutritious food served. My son is now ready for nursery but he will definitely miss Elisha and the little friends he made there.

Thank you so much we miss him ❤️
I genuinely could not recommend Elisha highly enough. My little one started with her in September, when she was 7 months old. She absolutely loves it at Elisha's!!! Every day she has so much fun and learns so much. On a single day she could do baking, painting and have other sensory experiences. Elisha is really caring and takes her role very seriously, putting in so much effort. We get loads of updates and photos every day which is lovely for us. I honestly don't know where she finds the time to do it all!! She provides lovely nutritious food and will adapt to your child's routine, and is in general really flexible. Elisha's assistant Lynn is also lovely and really loves the children. It feels like a home from home, but one where the child gets all the experiences they'd have at a nursery, so for me it does feel like the best of both worlds. We might have to move out of London at some point soon and I don't want to think about it because my LO will miss Elisha so much and I don't know if we'll ever find another childminder as good. We can't thank Elisha enough.

Thank you so much x
Elisha was the first person to look after my son (aged 11 months at the time) and I was a very nervous mum. She could not have done more to put me at ease. Elisha is a wonderful childminder and as soon as you meet her and see her home you realise this. She is so passionate and is constantly looking for ways to adapt her setting to make it fun, engaging and such a happy place for children. She is super professional and easy to communicate with which is imperative when someone is looking after your child. She was very happy to adapt to my son’s needs re food and always checked in with me. My son was SO happy at her setting and loved being there. Elisha always goes above and beyond and clearly loves what she does and the children she works with. We sadly had to leave as we moved to the other side of London but we still remain in contact. I would highly recommend her services and still wish we lived closer!
