We could not have asked for a more perfect childminder in every single respect.
(Also when writing this review I asked my husband if he had anything to add, and he said it’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for Estelle and how much she has transformed our lives!)
She is absolutely brilliant - we could not ask for a more caring, attentive, helpful person to look after our daughter who is quite highly sensitive and intense, and as sensitive parents too we had big concerns about the transition to childcare. But Estelle made the whole process manageable, seamless and supportive for all of us. She is incredibly thoughtful and considerate and allows the settling process to be tailored to your family which is amazing.
She is so warm and lovely, she has formed a truly great bond with our daughter, who frequently asks to phone her when she’s not with her!, and seems to have the perfect balance of activities, crafts, time outdoors, trips to different London locations and cultural visits - we are super grateful for her commitment to diversity and inclusion too and love that the children went to a mosque before we have! Our daughter loves her garden and little chalet too.
She is also incredibly thoughtful, and her communication is amazing both in terms of daily updates on WhatsApp which we love, but also regarding any challenges, queries, and she kindly does home visits to review progress too.
Our daughter has truly flourished from her time with Estelle and it’s so lovely to hear her French improving (we get the most adorable Franglais at home and she loves to teach us words!)
As an overly anxious parent finding childcare was always going to be a wrench for me but Estelle made me comfortable from the word go and I could not love and trust anyone more as a carer for my girls - we look forward to our littlest starting soon - and can only encourage families to snap up a spot with her because she absolutely is one in a million. I need more stars than five to give her a rating. She’s fantastic.
