5 stars doesn’t seem enough! Couldn’t have more praise for Eva and the work that she does! Eva was flexible, caring and supportive, to us as parents and also to our daughter. I was really nervous leaving our daughter at 11months but Eva settled my fears and elevated all my worries and concerns by keeping us updated, sending pics and loving our daughter!! As well as keeping all the children entertained and teaching them new things daily, developing skills needed to move on to preschool, Eva cares for them, loves them and grows a special and caring bond! All the reviews on here are spot on!! Facilities are also spot on, plenty of space indoors and amazing garden space too and super clean! BEST Childminder we could’ve asked for! 🥰

Eva has been my daughters childminder from the age of 8 months - 4 years (leaving for school). Having an older child and experience with a number of childcare settings I can honestly say Eva’s has been the best. It’s become a home away from home for my daughter. My daughter was a very quiet, shy baby. Eva made sure to take the time to cuddle and comfort her whenever needed and would always update me throughout the day.
Eva provided a range of fun activities within the home, and outdoors, and she would keep me updated with the new topics they were doing. My daughter would always come home with new facts and was excited about the things she was learning.
Eva ensured good manners and hygiene with the children (especially during covid). She even managed to get my very fussy eater to eat a range of fruit and veg!
Eva has been very understanding and flexible and professional, and I would consider her a friend. I would recommend her to anyone.
Thank you so much Eva. We will miss you

I was so lucky to have found Eva. I was looking for someone to look after my two girls for school drop off and pick ups. Her house is very clean, organised and she looks after the girls as a second mum. I higlly recommend Eva, she is very flexible, caring and most important my girls love her. Working full time, I needed someone I could trust and realiable and I have found her!

Eva is simply the best childminder i've ever come across and I would recommend her to everyone looking for one.
Eva has looked after my two children since they were both 6 months old and they now go to her in the holidays now aged 4 and 7.
Eva provides such a nurturing setting for children to learn and play in, but with discipline and boundaries that were similar to my own at home. She ensures the children use manners, share nicely, pack away their toys but also treat the house with respect. These were all values that were important to me in being instilled while i was working full time
Eva worked with my routine with the kids and literally became a second mummy to both my kids.
Now we are emigrating to Australia the kids were most upset about leaving Eva and have shed a lot of tears over it.
Eva does all sorts of activities with the kids, and creates a home from home environment. She certainly does lots more craft and glitter than I do, and for that I'm grateful! As one reviewer said, why do it in your home when she does it in hers!
Eva above all is super flexible and willing to accommodate changes to plan. When i worked full time in London and was commuting by train she was super flexible with late trains and being a few minutes late. There is nothing worse than stressing about being late for childcare and I never had that problem. One time Eva even offered to bath my kids when my tube broke down! Later she accommodated our au pair picking up and dropping off kids and we communicated via phone / whatsapp on the day.
She's become a firm friend over the years and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her. I count her as a major blessing in my life enabling me to balance motherhood and working full time.
Thanks Eva! We will MISS you in Australia. xx

Our son spends 3 days per week with Eva and we are so glad to have found her!! She is so lovely with kids!! My son really enjoys his time with her, she is like his second mum!
She entertains them, playgroups, play in the garden or inside, teaching lots of things as well!!
We couldn't expect better for our first experience with a chilminder!! We can't be more grateful for the happiness and development of our son!
We are moving this summer and we are so sad to leave her :( :(
She is the most trustable person you can find for your kids.
