Both my children were under Eileen’s care from 12 months, and both settled-in quickly and loved attending the setting! My son is now in school and my daughter in a nursery close by, but they (and we!) miss Eileen dearly and my children developed a very special bond with her. Eileen’s communication is outstanding and in the early days it was very reassuring to see photos of my children on our WhatsApp group enjoying the various activities of the routine. Eileen is thorough in her processes ensuring an excellent standard of professionalism. The children are fed healthy, home cooked meals which they all love and Eileen encourages superb table manners - eating at home as a family became far more enjoyable after our children attended Eileen’s setting! We really valued the varied activities that Eileen would organise - ensuring plenty of outdoor time as well as indoor. Eileen is like family and we will be keeping in touch even though our children have now moved on - highly recommend her!

Eileen is a great childminder, she took care of our son 2 days a week when we were in London (french family). Eileen and her assistant are really nice, and competent. During 2 years my son really enjoyed to see them and learned a lot. I recommend highly this childminder!

My daughter started going to Eileen in May 2019, 2 mornings a week, it took a couple weeks to settle in and now she loves it. She gets her back on those mornings and gets very excited to see Eileen, at drop off she tells Daddy to go!! Its so great for her socially to play with older and younger kids, and to eat together at the table. As my work gets busier we will be adding more days, because we know she will love more time with Eileen.

Eileen has been looking after our daughter since March 2017 and after our son since September 2018.
We are really happy with Eileen (and her assistants!), she has taught so many things to our children, especially helping them to become more independent and potty trained, and with their language skills (we are a French family).
Everyday we receive lots of pictures with a detailed report of what our children do, and there a new theme of discoveries (shapes, seasons, colours..) every week.
Kids spend a lot of time outside and have several activities every week (Rhyme time, playgroup..).
I know that my kids are in very good hands when they are with Eileen and I would highly recommend her.

Our son was looked after by Eileen for 2 years from the age of 1 to age 3. We were very happy with exceptional care he received. She provides a warm, nurturing environment that children thrive in. The day is fairly structured but there is lots of chance for the children to play freely. Eileen ensures the children get out and about into the community every day and they enjoy trips to various parks to play grounds, to Kew Gardens, pond dipping in Gunnersbury Triangle as well as visiting the cobbler, pet shop and dentist on occasion! My son truely felt like he was in a home away from home in the setting and this was enhanced by the warmth and kindness of the rest of Eileen's family , especially one of the daughters who loved to entertain the children! Meals provided are nutritious, home cooked and enjoyed by the children. Communication was excellent and included regular photo's through the day on Whatsapp, a detailed daily diary, a detailed observations report and yearly 'parents evening'. We would highly recommend Eileen to look after you child!!

My son has been attending Eileen's setting for one year from his first birthday. Her communication is impeccable, with a newsletter sent out at the beginning of the week detailing the "theme" for the week, activities scheduled that week, along with the menu. The home-cooked food is excellent, being extremely healthy, varied and encouraging table manners and independent eating from an early age. She sends What's App pictures throughout the day to keep you updated with your child's activities. These, at the start, made me feel much more comfortable in knowing exactly how my child was doing whilst I was at work. Now, they serve as a prompt that I need to do more activities with him myself to make home as fun and educational as Eileen's house! There is a strong emphasis on going out everyday to local parks/pet shops/rhyme classes etc. My son has benefitted greatly from the social aspect of seeing the same familiar friends at Eileen's house, confidently walking into her home in the mornings with barely a goodbye to me! She ensures parents are thoroughly informed about their childrens' daily updates along with offering a longer term review at "parents evening" where more formal developmental progress is discussed. She is always receptive to any queries/comments/suggestions and very helpful in offering general parenting advice. The children under her care thrive in a home-from-home environment with a clear routine and also benefit from the warmth and fun of Eileen's husband and daughters.

Our son has been under Eileen's care since he was 12 months, and thoroughly enjoys the setting and adores Eileen and her family. Eileen is both caring and professional with a fantastic routine that reassures the babies and children she looks after, which also provides a valuable learning environment. We love the variety of indoor and outdoor activities Eileen organises for the children. Her communication and official processes are also second to none. Couldn't recommend Eileen enough!

Eileen looked after my eldest daughter for 2 years (from when she was 15 months to 3) and I couldn't have been happier with her care. My daughter was so well looked after - Eileen is kind, reliable and genuinely cares for all the children she minds. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Overall
Our 18-month daughter Louise has been looked after by Eileen for less than 3 months at the moment and she already has made good progress, especially in learning how to feed by herself. Eileen organises new activities every week with a theme, send parents a weekly newsletter and pictures of our little ones during the day. She is really kind, passionate with her job, flexible and always happy to give you some advice when you need it as a beginning parent! But the most important, Louise is always very happy to go to Eileen's, see her little friends and Eileen's daughters, and I know Eileen takes really good care of her. I highly recommend her.

Eileen’s service and care far exceeded our expectations. Eileen provided a clear curriculum, regular and varied activities, excellent communication of progress through newsletters, regular pictures through whatsapp and detailed evaluations. Food was excellent and healthy. We really appreciated the support she gave us as parents and will always be grateful that she both encouraged us to have our son’s hearing checked and then set out a plan of action to deal with the problem. Eileen went way beyond what was required and is a real professional.
