The best we've found

Miriam has been a fantastic nanny to our daughter. She is loving and nurturing and takes great care of all details. She organizes really fun and educational activities for the kids. She's multilingual in Spanish which was great for our family. I always felt my daughter was safe under her care.

Great service

My daughter has been with Miriam since February and she is & has been amazing. I feel like my daughter’s speech is coming along nicely & her interaction with other children is improving a lot and it’s definitely with the help & support from Miriam. Miriam is very caring, friendly&kind, I would definitely recommend her. Miriam will send me regular pictures&updates about how my daughter is & she will respond to me well when I ask for an update, the communication is brilliant. My daughter looks forward to going to Miriam’s house & interacting with her friends.

Thank you for helping my daughter grow x

Amazing Babysitter

Miriam exceeded every expectation! We were slightly worried about leaving our 2 year old with a Babysitter for the first time. Miriam made an extra effort to come to our house, provide references of her work, and send me pictures for us to feel safe and my daughter to get to know her upfront.

She arrived half an hour early so my daughter could get used to her. My daughter who can be shy, happily waved goodbye when I left the house, having so much fun spending time with her!

Miriam has a lot of knowledge and experience with children, she is warm but confident which is exactly what makes us feel reassured to know our daughter is in safe hands.

I couldn't recommend her more!!

WONDERFUL Childminder!

When I found Miriam on Childminder.co.uk it was a real Godsend. She had all references ready for me to contact and showed me around her home so I could see where Isaiah would be sleeping and playing. She always says how much she loves her job and that is plain to see the way the children relate to her. She is both fun and firm in equal measure which is definitely what my son needs. She is also very loving and welcoming everyday greeting my son as her “sweetie boy” and a different toy.

She has also helped my son in his social and educational development. She always has a plan to take him to different play groups and soft play areas and we have noticed the changes with how he engages with other children, going from very possessive and a little violent to becoming really gentle and sharing with other children, it’s really very impressive. Miriam also speaks her native language which is Spanish with our permission, with Isaiah. This is something I felt would be important in later life when he chooses his second language to learn in secondary school.

My Partner and I are very happy and grateful to Miriam for the continual growth we’ve seen in our son. And that’s definitely due to the love, care and attention she gives him. She’s like the grandmother he always needed which again is a relief to me given that I lost my mother in 2018 and I wondered if he would ever feel that love. His paternal grandparents live further afield so can’t be relied upon for childcare needs.

As first time parents we always worry about our son but with Miriam we are kept up to date with photos everyday, feedback about his day, messages about events. We're also told about anywhere that she is taking him for the day. She has been instrumental in key areas like potty training, Isaiah learning to feed himself, and so many other key areas.

In these areas we would decide as a team how to move forward, what's working, what's not and this stability has really propelled our son forwards. For example Isaiah is 3yrs old in September and is well on track to start reading by then, he can already count to 140, he knows his phonetic and normal alphabet and just the other day started spelling out words. As intelligent as our son might be we are under no illusion that without the work we have ALL put in he wouldn't be where he is today.

I kind of wish he’s stop growing as these moments he has in his very early education with Miriam are very short and I want him to hold onto them. But time is fleeting and grow he must. We do hope to keep the connection though as he grows up.

Professional and Caring

Miriam has been taking care of my daughter for almost a year, 3 days a week, since she was 10 months and i had to go back to work. It was not easy finding a childminder we trusted and Miriam is now part of our family. She has been a godsend.

We can see how she loves my daughter by the way she looks after her.

She is also attentive to my daughter's needs and development, she takes her to educational activities regurlarly but also make sure she gets good rest and follow her routine which has been very important to us.

My daughter smiles at drop off and is happy and talkative at pick up. It says it all.

I do not want to share miriam so please look for someone else :).

caring and supportive

Miriam has been caring for my son for 7 months since he was 11 months. Miriam is very caring, supportive and experienced childminder. My son is always clean, well fed and very happy. Miriam always takes him to playgroups so my son can be with other children and socialises a lot. Miriam teaches him Spanish and he is always dacing to spanish music. Thank you Miriam for making me feel that my son is well and safe.
