Penny has looked after our two pre-school girls from when our youngest was a few months old, for a day a week until Sept 2025 when they started nursery full time. The girls absolutely adore Penny, always talk about her and are asking when she is next coming. She has managed to juggle their different needs with ease, from bottle feeding, managing nap times, pretend play, building towers, reading of books, making meals, lots of arts and crafts, and plenty of cuddles. Shes been great at taking them to a weekly playgroup and finding different activities to take them to during school holidays, as well as trips to the park, swimming pool etc. She always has a smile on her face, shows such great care and enthusiasm with the girls, and makes us feel at ease. We really trust Penny, she is very reliable, and it has been fantastic having her help.

Thank you so much,all of you have been so easy to engage with and it was very hard to leave in September.i am delighted to be doing some further ad hoc work for you…my recent day was filled with smiles, cuddles and fun.
Penny is an excellent, reliable, kind and caring nanny. She has been a great help to us and our two pre-school babies/toddlers. She is a complete natural when it comes to children, ours love her and always ask “Is Penny coming? Yay!” She takes them out exploring and we have confidence they are in safe hands. Thanks for all your great work Penny x

Thanks so much,you’re a lovely family to work for and the kids welcome always makes me 😊
Penny helped look after my little 11 month old daughter for a few days whilst my husband was away.
Penny first came for a meet and greet at our home, this was so lovely and we felt very comfortable with the set up.
Exercise is very important to me, so Penny cared for our daughter whilst I attending some gym sessions and bike rides. Support for Mum & baby!
Penny did feeding of solids & bottle, little walks locally, changed nappies and fussed the dog. This was such a huge help and offered me a little break from a few weeks of solo parenting.
I would 100% recommend Penny, she is local to Stroud, a mother of 2, easy to chat to and has seen it all! I’m looking forward to using Penny again in the future.
Thank you!
Rosie, Chris, Olivia & Eric the dog x
