When my wife had to return to work, leaving our 6-month-old daughter in someone else’s care felt overwhelming and stressful. As first-time parents, the thought of entrusting our little one to anyone filled us with anxiety—until we met Grace. From the very first meeting, she stood out among the many childminders we had visited. Her warmth, genuine care, and the safety and emotional reassurance she provided immediately put our hearts at ease.

Over the past year and a half, Grace has not only been a childminder but also a crucial part of our daughter Amara’s growth and development. The transformation we’ve seen in Amara has been extraordinary. She’s grown into a confident, curious, and joyful toddler, developing skills and character that even stand out when compared to other children her age. Grace has an incredible way of nurturing children in a way that helps them thrive emotionally, socially, and developmentally.

What also sets Grace apart is her flexibility and understanding of the challenges faced by working professionals like us. She has always been accommodating, making it easier for us to balance our work and parenting responsibilities.

The only reason we had to part ways was because we relocated to South London—a decision made even harder knowing we’d have to say goodbye to Grace. Even now, Amara keeps Grace and her little friends in her prayers and often asks to speak to them, a testament to the deep bond she formed during her time there.

Grace’s care has been nothing short of extraordinary, and her role in shaping Amara into the toddler she is today is something we’ll forever be grateful for. If you’re searching for a childminder who will provide your child with a safe, nurturing, and loving environment, I cannot recommend Grace enough. She truly is a gem, and any child would be lucky to be in her care.
