We are very grateful to Hodo, who cared for our baby boy from when he was 6-18 months and became part of our family! Hodo was a tremendous help as we navigated feeding and weaning, introducing him to new tastes and textures that have turned him into an adventurous eater! She was also instrumental in encouraging his physical development, helping him learn to crawl and then walk, and celebrating every milestone with him and us. In addition to support at home, Hodo also made our son's socialisation a priority. She took him to many different playgroups, activities, soft plays, cooking classes, music classes, parks, zoos, and much more, and we delight in seeing the photos and videos each day of what he's been up to. If ever our son was ill, she gave him all the care and support he needed, taking him to the doctors when necessary, and having a strong knowledge about all the childhood bugs and sniffles! During a busy period when we moved houses and adjusted to a new neighbourhood, Hodo was a steady and reliable presence, finding new activities and other babies for him to get to know. We also appreciate her flexibility with hours when we have an unexpected change of plans. Hodo is positive, reliable, fun, caring, and above all else, developed a strong bond with our son, who beams with delight and runs to greet her with a big hug when "Dodo" arrives at the house in the morning :) We will miss her when we move away and recommend her to other families looking for a reliable, knowledgable and upbeat caregiver for their child!

The wonderful Hodo has looked after our twins since Jan 2023 and will sadly be leaving us in December 2023 as we are moving to the country. She arrived when Seb & Arlo were 6 months and from the moment she arrived she felt like part of the family. She was totally unfazed by twins being a mother of 4 and having been a childminder. She is the most upbeat and optimistic person I know and the boys adore her. She is a wonderful cook and has introduced the boys to lots of wonderful food meaning they are great eaters. She keeps the boys very busy going to playgroups every morning with trips to the playground in the afternoon and she is always engaging them and teaching them new skills to ensure they hit their developmental milestones. She has helped me bring up two very happy and sociable little boys. She has stuck to my routine and also recommended changes along the way. She keeps the boys play area and bedroom tidy and is happy to do their washing and ironing. She is very tidy, incredibly punctual and never late. If anyone is looking for a nanny, i couldn't recommend Hodo more! We will be very sad to leave her in December!

I was quite excited to meet this lady but she arranged to meet me twice and failed to show up twice. Not heard from her since. Shame!

The first time I was going to see you my tire punctured. The second time, my nah was in hospital after having a stroke and this is my first day back coming home to my kids. So for you to write that review about me was completely unnecessary but good luck with your search .
On return to work one year after having my first child, I searched extensively for childcare in my area and found Hodo. Originally only meant to help out for 6 months and ended up being 2 years. I didn't feel nursery was right for my one yr old and wanted her to have a more intimate setting of care while i was at work. Hodo is a wonderful, flexible, caring and reliable childminder and my little girl became part of the family until Sept 2019 now she is ready for a nursery setting. Hodo's input has been so invaluable and it was so good to be able to go to work and not worry about my little one, Hodo is always positive and full of energy and we will miss her very much. I am happy to recommend her to anyone looking for childcare in and around W12 area and am happy to be contacted for further information.
