My eldest has just graduated from Nanny McFiFi’s and my youngest still attends. I can honestly say Nanny McFiFi’s has been absolutely brilliant for my children. My eldest really struggled when he started - he lacked confidence and he didn’t want to go. Fiona and her staff went so far above and beyond to help him grow in confidence and settle in. We didn’t know what to do and they supported us and him so much. He quickly became super excited to go in every day and is now a much more confident boy, ready to start school and makes friends easily. My youngest also struggled to settle and they have spent so much time helping him out with great success and now he also loves going. Both my children have been growing so much in their abilities since starting thanks to the brilliant activities that are tailored to help them develop further. My eldest always felt adequately challenged which he needs and my youngest who has been a slightly late talker has come on leaps and bounds since starting here. The imagination and creativity of the staff is amazing - the adventures they go on, the fun activities and the opportunities for creative expression (which are all shared with us via an app through the day) make every single day an exciting learning experience for my boys and I am constantly being taught everything when they get home! One of the most important things I wanted for my children was to learn about kindness and empathy - 100% success - Nanny McFiFi’s don’t just teach this, they just exude this all the time and they care so much for every single child they have, they know them inside out and how to cater for their individual needs and help them grow. It’s been amazing and I can’t wait for my youngest to start going more often. My eldest is now ready for the next adventure! Thank you!

What a beautiful review, these two children like all of the ones we have are truly loved and will go on to be kind and caring grown ups, just like their mum, dad and grand parents are ❤️
100% recommend Nanny Fi & all of her lovely staff! They are all so kind, loving and caring, they treat all of the children like they are their own. My daughter has attended since July and has loved it ever since, she settled in straight away. Fi sends pics and updates throughout the day which is nice to see whilst at work. The children are always learning and doing a range of fun and educational activities and my daughter always comes home with arts and crafts she has done that day. I would never send my daughter anywhere else ❤️ xx

Nanny Mcfifi's is a fantastic child care provider. My son has been going just under a year now from being 6months old and I feel like he is cared for like one of her own, paying attention to his individual likes and dislikes.
Nanny mcfifi's is always helpful at very short notice and always happy to send pics or messages letting me know how he is getting on during the day which you never get with a nursery.
I can not recommend Nanny Mcfifi's enough, Fiona and her staff are happy, approachable and 100%caring.

Thank you. This is a lovely review. All the children and their families mean the world to me and my team and we pride ourselves in offering a safe and nurturing environment ❤
I have been using Nanny McFifi for many months now and have felt confident from day one. My children absolutely love Fiona and enjoy coming here.
It's like a home from home environment for them and they feel confident to be themselves and are always happy when I pick them up.
I would highly recommend Nanny Mcfifi to anyone.

After being a stay at home mum to my children for the past 3 years I took the leap and decided to return to education. My youngest has only ever been with me all day everyday so I was concerned he would hate being left. In fact he absolutely loves it. Nanny Mcfifi makes life so much easier for me. I didn't want to leave him but knew he was in safe and loving hands and he enjoys eberdau he spends there. He is always kept busy and entertained with lots of different activities. The play room Nanny Mcfifi has is absolutely fantastic really clean and organised well. I highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who isn't just a childminders but one who makes yourself and your children feel part of the family x

As a working mother over the years my daughter has been looked after by various before and after school clubs. I always felt they were impersonal, cold and most concerning lacked the passion and imagination in looking after my child, which of course added to my guilt when leaving her.
My daughter has been going to Fiona to both the before and after school care for over two years now. Fiona has a real passion for the care and wellbeing of all children, this is not something that she has learnt at university through her qualifications, it comes naturally from within her. She gives time to listen to children, she encourages them to grow, to gain confidence and self-belief.
My daughter loves the activities she does when she is there, from crafts, baking, group games, singing, dancing and many other stimulating activities. Fiona has a wonderful imagination so there is no chance of your child getting bored.
Fiona has a lovely family and home setting which adds to my daughter feeling happy and relaxed.
I was lucky to have found the carer for my child that I trust has my child’s best interests at heart, BUT most importantly to my husband and I is that she skips happily through Fiona’s front door every day. I now go to work with no guilt.
Highly recommended.
