Nadshappyfaces is really an happy, cozy and existing place for my boys. She is a woman with a gentle smile and very welcoming. My boys are eager to face the new week knowing my nanny is coming for me and eager to see her. The boys are running towards her with excitement and joy.
The setting of her Creech is bright and clean, with toys neatly arranged and a nurturing atmosphere. Her love and strong bond between the boys is so beautiful.

I have been incredibly fortunate to have Nad looking after my 8-year-old son for the past four years. She has consistently gone above and beyond, picking him up from school, sometimes taking him to school, and providing excellent care during school holidays.
Nad is reliable, caring, and truly dedicated to the well-being of the children she looks after. My son always looks forward to spending time with her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing he is in such capable hands.
Communication with Nad is always clear and prompt, making it easy to coordinate schedules. Her home is always clean and welcoming, and my son absolutely loves the delicious meals she prepares. Additionally, Nad has been incredibly flexible, accommodating our needs whenever possible.
Thank you, Nad, for looking after Tawana.

I needed someone ASAP for my 3 year old daughter, as I was due to start a course in 2 days. I asked her 2 days before my course start date, and she sorted me out last minute and processed any necessary information as quickly as possible. She took all my stress away.
When I first went to see her place, i was shocked to see how clean she has kept it, the whole place was immaculate, including the kitchen and the bathroom. She has a huge range of toys for the kids to play with and loads of other things too.
She communicates daily with how she's been and the things they've done and feeds them well with a variety of different types of foods. So I don't need to worry about sending lunch in for her either. My daughter has learnt so much already in such a short space of time.
Her rates are very reasonable, considering the exceptional level of care she provides. She always comes across happy and smiling and very caring. If your looking for a childminder i highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.

I had really strong mom guilt while trying to find the best place and best person to leave my kids for while I’m at work. However, when I met this very kind woman Nads, I just knew she was the perfect one for my kids. She’s super caring and attentive to my kids needs.. she takes them as her own kids, in fact my kids call her Nani (grandma). Her home is super spotless, serene and hazard-free. She teaches and engages them in activities too. This review is just to thank you for the love you show my girls xx

And do this one for nadz
After two upsetting experiences with other childminders, I was nervous and unsure what to expect. However, from the very first visit, Nadz completely put my mind at ease. She welcomed my 1-year-old daughter with open arms, played with her, laid out toys to make her feel at home, and even fed her during our visit. Her warmth and attentiveness were beyond what I could have hoped for, and I immediately felt like I wasn’t just visiting a childminder but someone who genuinely cares—like a family friend or even family.
Every day, I receive around 10 photos of my daughter, keeping me updated on what she’s doing and how she’s settling in. The communication is absolutely top-notch, and I always know my daughter is in safe hands. Picking her up at the end of the day is such a joy because my little one is always happy and even waves goodbye to Nadz with a smile!
My daughter is usually very attached to me and doesn’t nap with anyone but me. However, on the second day, I walked in to find her peacefully sleeping on the floor sofa—an extremely safe setup that left me amazed. This level of comfort and trust speaks volumes about the nurturing environment Nadz has created.
The setup of her home is fantastic. It’s spotless, hazard-free, warm, and welcoming. Nadz takes extra care to ensure that the toys and furniture are all safe and age-appropriate, and she goes the extra mile to make the environment as stimulating and fun as possible. There are no sharp corners, small items, or other hazards that could pose a danger to my child. I feel confident knowing my daughter is in such a secure and comfortable environment.
Nadz is always attentive to my daughter’s needs and makes sure she’s safe, happy, and engaged. Her care and attention to detail are unmatched. Whether it’s reading her a story, helping her with new skills, or simply making her feel loved, Nadz ensures that my little girl’s time with her is enriching and joyful.
Beyond childcare, Nadz has shown incredible kindness and support for me personally. I shared some personal issues with her, and she went above and beyond, sitting me down with a cup of tea and offering not just a listening ear but genuinely helpful advice. She made me feel so supported during a difficult time, and I’ll always be grateful for that.
Her rates are very reasonable, especially for the exceptional care she provides. She offers so much more than I could have expected, and the peace of mind she gives me as a mother is priceless. I truly can’t fault her at all. She’s attentive, caring, professional, and so approachable, all while making my daughter feel like part of her family.
I’m so happy I found Nadz, and I can confidently say she’s amazing in every way. If you’re looking for a childminder who will treat your child like her own and make you feel at ease every step of the way, look no further!

Nads took care of my baby at a very short notice, when I am needing so much help and support and she came through just fine.
She was very nice and it was easy for my baby to adapt with her. She also helped me reorganised my baby’s sleeping pattern which was a big problem for me then.
Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind and support.

Thank you for taking care of my daughter Liliana and occasionally Tymon. very good cooperation. My children liked going to her. A big plus was that she brought and picked up my children from home when needed. My children felt safe and for me it was an important aspect of cooperation for about 2.5 years. Now my daughter has started Reception, but if I need childcare in the future, I will definitely use it again
Best regards
