Esther has been looking after my son for almost a year now (he is coming up to 2). She is warm and welcoming and he absolutely loves spending time with her.

I met Esther whilst on maternity leave at local playgroups and she continues to take my son regularly so he maintains and builds friendships with other local children. She has an amazing garden and they spend a lot of time out and about or in the park which is great because my son loves the outdoors.

Esther looks after him from 8-5 and cooks all his meals (we are veggie which was no problem).

Esther is reliable and great at keeping me posted throughout the day with photos and anecdotes which really helped in those first tough days returning to work.

The main reason I chose Esther to look after my son is how kind and warm she is. I know she really enjoys her job and she truly builds a strong bond with the children she looks after which is so important. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
