Average Rating: 5 stars (5 from 10 reviews)

When looking for childcare for our daughter we hadn’t considered a childminder as we were going to send her to nursery but thought we would just have a look around to be sure. From walking into Robyn’s home it was clear to see the engaging environment and feel the atmosphere of love, curiosity, community and a buzz of excitement for learning. It truly is a home from home and an education in life. The children are constantly learning through the wide variety of experiences provided for them on a daily basis such a the amazing trips far and wide and Montessori approach to things like shopping for and preparing food.

Our daughter has flourished in their care and we are very excited for our son to join the crew!

When I met Robyn, I was initially seeking childcare for my 8-month-old. However, after getting to know her, I moved my older child from nursery to Robyn's care, which was one of the best decisions we made.

Robyn and Michelle know the children they care for inside and out and are invested in their development and progress. They are thorough professionals, flexible/easy to work with and bring boundless energy to their work. Their days out can include beach days, carnivals, organizing food drives, feeding animals at the farm, learning to build fires, digging for fossils, etc. It is visibly evident that all children under their care are happy, settled and form deep bonds with their peers and friends.

Robyn has been especially supportive of my daughter's developmental delays. She has been nothing short of relentless in ensuring she receives all necessary support - for this we will be forever grateful.

Robyn and Michelle play a huge role in shaping our children into the wonderful little people they are becoming, and we could not ask for anything more.

Robyn has been looking after our son since he was 9 months old, he joined in Jan 2020.

When we were first looking for a childminder; the first things we really liked about Robyn was that she had a lovely home, she didn't live too far from the train station, she had a variety of toys, and she also showed a photo album of all the locations she took the kids.

I’m happy to say that she’s all that, and so much more. Choosing Robyn was one of the best decisions we made for our son. Not only is she incredibly kind, patient and have a great sense of humour, but she goes above and beyond for her kids. She’s responsive to messages, always communitive about our son’s progress, achievements, and any concerns, whilst also listening to our own. She also takes the children out to all sorts of places from picking your own fruit farms, to local museums. We’ve discovered many hidden local treasures and fun locations because of her pictures that she shares after each day.

In addition, our son is currently on the waiting list for ASD, and the level of support, advice and time taken out of her usual routine to help us with forms, meetings with Greenwich SENCo and so much more, is staggering. What Robyn has done for our son; we can never repay back enough. Our son has flourished under her care, and whenever it comes to his last day there, we’ll be extremely sad to see her go.

If you have children, and are looking for a childminder, Robyn cannot be recommended enough.

Honestly the best thing to happen to us and my son. He has not just thrived, he’s flourished and feels truly like part of the family. Robyn is nurturing and kind and ensures they go out nearly every day! I would recommend her to anyone!

I knew Robyn was the right choice to make from the very first moment I bumped into her profile, and I am happy to say that I was completely right!.
I couldn't wish for a better person ( because this is what she is first, a person) and a child under for my baby.
She is so caring with her and our kids, she is a childminder because she loves her job, and she takes pride of it.
My baby has learned so much since I brought her when she was about 8 months old, and she enjoys being around her, her family and other kids everytime I bring her in.
She helped the way she could, when I had none that could have looked after my baby while I had to go to my injured husband in the hospital, and for that I would never thank her enough.
She is just the perfect one :)

We could write an essay to say how AMAZING and wonderful Robyn is, so we'll do our best to be succinct here! If you're reading this, you're more than welcome to hear from us directly (via Robyn) at any time.

Robyn provides the most homely, nurturing, fun, exciting, activity-filled, family-oriented, and simply amazing setting you could hope for your child. Our 2.5 yo daughter started 11 months ago and we're already sad that one day she'll leave and progress onto nursery/school. Every day is filled with an outdoor adventure to the park, field, farm, shops, playgroups, something (or anything during lockdown) which meant our daughter always came home full of joy and wonder, and looking forward to going back the day after. All the other reviews on here about how great Robyn proved to not only be true but surpassed all our (great!) expectations. Mind-blowing really!

On top of all that, Robyn's family, partner, young daughters, mother and sister are all extremely warm and friendly people to have in our and our daughter's lives. Heck even her neighbours are wonderful which made the summer all the more fun as our daughter got to hangout with all the other lovely children on their part of the cul-de-sca. We could not have hoped to have found a more caring or considerate family, and indeed, we consider Robyn and her family an extension of ours.

And I hope that Robyn and her family remain a part of our daughter's life in the future, because a truly wonderful friendship and relationship has formed.

Thank you Robyn, you've been and are amazing! :)

Robyn has been looking after our 3 years old daughter for almost a year now. She is very accommodating and helpful. My daughter really enjoyed staying with Robyn seems to be always well entertained. I wanted to say big thank you for helping my little one to improve her English drastically within such short period. She speaks so well now. Robyn's a very active and energetic childminder and takes the kids out in her car on a very regular basis and does so many interesting activities indoor - painting, tent, back garden play etc. I am planning to send my son there also in the future.

Robyn has been looking after our 2 year old daughter for close to a year now. She has transformed our daughter completely in so many ways. She was a fussy eater and now she eats everything on her own (at least at Robyn's if not at home!), she naps well and her development in general has been incredible. She speaks so well now and has exposure to so many things when she is with Robyn. Robyn's a very active and energetic childminder and takes the kids out in her car on a very regular basis - to museums, parks, farms etc. It's hard to keep up with all the stories our daughter comes back and tells us! Even when indoors or in her garden, the kids are constantly kept busy with interesting activities and she always brings something back home. Robyn is also very warm and caring and she goes out of her way to help out when our daughter is unwell. We had a long term plan of sending our daughter to nursery at some point but we have cancelled that plan as she is so happy and settled with Robyn. We're very happy with Robyn overall.

Robyn has been looking after our 2 year old daughter for the past 6 months and the amount of activities she provides puts us to shame 😂

Our daughter loves going to Robyn's house every day and we really enjoy the whatsapp photo updates so we don't feel like we are missing out too much.

Our daughter obviously feels very happy, secure and confident with Robyn and talks about her all the time at home too.

We would thoroughly recommend Robyn to anyone looking for a great, professional childminder to look after their little ones.

Robyn has been looking after our little girl since she was 10 months old. They bonded so well from the start and her little face lights up now before we even ring the doorbell! Robyn has made everything so easy for us, she’s very professional whilst being laid back and my mind is always at ease when I know my child is with her. Robyn’s daughters are a big hit with my little one too!

Her home is beautiful in a nice quiet cul de sac. It’s recently decorated so has a nice new feel and is very well laid out for child minding with a lovely shady back yard too. I can see that a big effort is put in to keeping things fresh and stimulating for the children. All the toys and games are well chosen and child appropriate, she doesn’t just get the same toys down every day either which keeps it interesting and that goes for activities and meals too.

I’m kept very well informed about what they’ve been up to every day and I know that if I wanted more or less of that that it would be no problem.

Overall I would say I can’t fault the care she gives my child and to us to as parents, anyone would be lucky to find her.
