Sapphire is a delight and my son absolutely adores her. He is always so excited when he knows she is coming.
She is very knowledgeable and qualified. She is easy to contact, responsive, and timely. I trust her immensely and know I'm leaving my child in good hands.
I would highly recommend Sapphire to anyone looking for excellent childcare.

Sapphire first started working with my baby when he was about 3 weeks old. He was my first baby and I needed guidance on settling him for naps and establishing a routine. Sapphire helped my baby progress from being fed or rocked to sleep, to becoming an independent sleeper. She also gave me feeding advice and help with all sorts of other issues that cropped up along the way. My baby now naps regularly and is a very happy 8 month old!
Sapphire was always punctual, reliable and great to have around. My son loved spending time with her and he obviously felt safe with her. I used to email Sapphire from time to time with problems or questions and she was always so helpful. Thank you Sapphire!

Sapphire is a truly fantastic nanny and I would recommend her to any family looking for someone very experienced and knowledgeable, as well as enthusiastic and committed to her role.
Sapphire came to help my family when my baby boy was just 3 months old and life was very challenging! With her help we really turned things around - we established a routine that benefited both me and baby, including lots of ideas on settling him to sleep that me and my husband could use that suited our style of parenting, and which worked far more easily than we had expected. Life became much easier, thanks in large part due to Sapphire. She also has a real wealth of knowledge on all aspects of caring for babies, so with her tips and advice I felt very well prepared as my baby boy progressed through different stages.
At the same time Sapphire offered a lot of practical help and I was very happy to entrust my baby into her care, even when he was very young. She has a lovely, gentle manner with him, and I could see he really thrived from the playtime and interaction he had with her.
I would add that on each occasion Sapphire was always very punctual and professional, and also flexible the times when we needed more help.
Overall, Sapphire exceeded our expectations in every way and she will be a real asset to any family.

Sapphire is the closest thing to Mary Poppins we could have found and we were delighted with her work. She came to work for us 3 afternoons\ early evenings a week for 6 weeks. She came to us with glowing references from another childcare user and she lived up to all of it. She has been extremely punctual, reliable and hard working and has a lovely manner with children. She was wonderful with our 10 week old twins and I felt very confident leaving her in sole charge of them so that I could go out briefly to do things. She was excellent at getting them into a routine and gave good advice. She used her own initiative a lot making sure lots she addressed all aspects of the twins care and was good at planning her time to ensure all jobs were carried out. If she had had more availability we would have kept her for longer as we were very impressed with her. I also felt that she fitted in well with our family and genuinely enjoyed having her around. She would be an asset in any household and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Our very own magical Mary Poppins! As a first time Mummy Nanny Sapphire worked her magic with my Son. I had a non sleeping, non feeding baby to now a great feeder, sleeps through the night, happy, active baby. More to the point a HAPPY MUMMY!.
Nanny Sapphire gives me the confidence to follow through her tips, advice & plans ..... and they ALL work!
I use Nanny Sapphire on a regular basis for day & night. Trust her implicitly. Fantastic & THANK YOU!

We first met Sapphire when we needed some help with our premature, baby twins. I wanted to establish a routine which was gentle and flexible enough for our new arrivals but gave me some confidence to understand their needs and plan for times when I might need another pair of hands around!
Sapphire's initial consultation helped us make a schedule which incorporated the timings we were already using but with a couple of tweaks which gave immediate results in terms of the babies being more settled in the early evening. What had previously been our 'witching hour' now became time to make and eat dinner....as a couple!
Sapphire also helped with our nighttime routine, giving some respite to either myself or my Husband so we both got a long stretch of sleep and felt ready to face the next day, invaluable sleep at a time when it can become quite an obsession!
We have continued to consult with Sapphire at various developmental milestones, just to keep us on track and keep up my confidence levels. The latest advice has been around weaning and dropping the 'dreamfeed'.
The babies love the time they have with Sapphire, she has a really gentle, fun and caring approach which they respond to with plenty of smiles - and as a Mum you can't ask for more! I enjoy the time I have with Sapphire as I find her a valuable source of information and support

Sapphire worked with us for 7 months, looking after our 3 year old son and from the 2nd month, our twins. She has a gentle, enthusiastic manner, which all children that she met whilst with us, responded to. Whilst I credit her with getting us into a great routine (babies sleeping through at 4 months!), at no point did I feel anything other than I had a great support who I could talk to about anything and know that she was as interested as me in ensuring we had 3 contented, happy kids in the house. She is very practical and has an upbeat and positive outlook on life in general. Sapphire was part of our family for the 7 months she was working here and I am happy to rave about her to anyone who might want to check her references. If we could afford it she would still be working here but in the meantime I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Sapphire has worked as a night nanny and sleep trainer for our family. My boy aged 8 months had a habit of waking up twice every night and wanted to be fed. After 5 night's sleep training with Sapphire he started sleeping from 7pm till 7am without any milk! I finally could sleep too instead of being sleep deprived and tired. My baby is happy and well rested now.
I will continue to ask Sapphire to stay with my boy if we go out at night or I am away during the day as she is a great and experienced nanny. I could see she is a good expert on weaning, feeding, sleeping and very knowledgeable. She is nice and caring with babies. I had several different nannies in the past, 2 in their 40's but Sapphire is the only one who I am happy to give great references and 5 stars!

My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend Sapphire.
Sapphire has been a Nanny for our son (now 9 months) and daughter (now 3.5) over the last 6 months. Our only regret is that we did not find her 2.5 years sooner when our daughter was just few months old!
Sapphire is a professional nanny, has all of the necessary qualifications, is reliable, trustworthy and most importantly babies and children love being with her. She is also a "tricks" genius and helped us establish our son into a routine/pattern in record time which really made a big difference.
We are delighted to be a reference for such a wonderful nanny.
