We had our maternity nurse for three weeks after the birth of our newborn son. She was an absolute joy to have in our home and filled my husband and I with the confidence we needed to look after our son. I came home from hospital after a traumatic birth, followed by an extended stay, absolutely exhausted. Our maternity nurse got me back on my feet by making sure I got plenty of rest so that I could feel human again. She helped me with breastfeeding and got our son into a good sleeping and feeding routine by the time he reached 3 weeks. She also gave us tips as to how to adapt the routine as our son gets older. She is a tech wizard and set up all our baby equipment, including the steriliser and breast pump!Our maternity nurse took the greatest care to follow the Government’s guidance on Covid-19; she self-isolated before she came to us. She followed our lead and wore a face mask and gloves when she went to the shops and self-isolated on her days off. She was very responsible with making sure that our house was hygienic and ensured that we felt totally comfortable welcoming her to our home.We could not have managed to get through the first three weeks of our son's life without our maternity nurse and we will look back at what could have been a difficult time as a joyful one, filled with learning and fun thanks to her great sense of humour and unflappable nature. We cannot recommend Night Nannies highly enough.

Everyone needs a Mel when they have a new baby! From the moment Mel arrived she put our mind at ease that our little one would be in safe hands. She has a fountain of knowledge and experience. She helped us with a colic and reflux baby and also helped us get rid of the dummy. Our little one was not a good sleeper at first, but with Mels advice (which she’s happy to give or not give, depending on what you’re after) by 3 months she was sleeping through intermittently and by 4 months consistently! Mel is always punctual and flexible with timings and on the odd occasion she came earlier so we could have the evening off. I was sad to say goodbye to Mel and she will always be a blessing in our lives!

We had L twice a week when our premature baby came home from hospital for about 6 weeks. The minute she arrived I knew it was all going to work brilliantly. Both our baby and our dachshund took to her immediately and when she'd arrive, I'd breathe a sigh of relief and they'd all go and get cosy in the nursery together, including the dog who would curl up next to her all night. L is an extremely calm and reassuring presence, with such positivity and gives you the impression she adores your baby!! She helped advise me on how to get into a routine and helped to get him sleeping through the night in a very short space of time. She would send me links to things she recommended, like which bottles to use, and would always answer any questions I had by text even when she wasn't with us.I always enjoyed hearing the update in the morning and she was so quiet and self sufficient when she was with us! I miss her! I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is an absolute angel.

Nana came to us as a night nanny when our baby was 10 days old. Initially doing 3 nights a week for 3 weeks but we ended up keeping her for 12 weeks she was so wonderful! Above everything she evidently loves babies and that as well as being a midwife and her calm confidence meant we felt entirely happy to leave our baby with her from the start to get precious sleep, and later on also if we wanted to go out for dinner etc first. She was so reassuring especially for a first time mum and has a lot of experience from other midwifery and nannying - our baby had very bad colic and she never stopped smiling even when he had been a terror! If we have another baby, Nana will be first on my list to call to see if she can come help again! Thank you nightnannies

Our maternity nurse was fantastic and we loved having her. She was really good in setting up routines with our twin baby girls which we are now following, and in helping my wife establish breastfeeding with them. She was great in encouraging us to take the babies out for local walks from the start, and we managed a trip to our nearest shopping centre and tea at M&S cafe, all of which gave us a lot of confidence in taking them out and about. She has a great relationship with our babies and they are missing her already!

My review: My review: I contacted night nannys after my second baby turned out not to be the best sleeper. Four months of broken sleep (and a busy toddler!) had left me on my knees with anxiety and insomnia. I needed help! A friend recommended the agency and when I spoke with Anastasia she was so kind and helpful and instead of providing me with a night nanny, she instead gave me expert advice on what my baby might need - a shorter term hire who would sort the problem of my daughter’s sleep permanently. She gave me my Guardian Angel - Vera Valtcheva. Vera joined us for four days to fix my daughter’s schedule. From day one I could have cried for joy. She got her from sleeping in our Snoo cot by my bed to sleeping in her own cot in her own room. After careful and expert observation of my little girl’s personality and development, Vera implemented a plan for her that meant she went from waking every two hours from 1am and using me as a human dummy to sleeping on her own and self-settling in her cot after two days. Vera brought the joy back in to our home by helping my little girl and getting me some more sleep. After day one my husband and I enjoyed cooking together and a whole evening together again for the first time in four months. She is with us until the end of the week and I don’t want her to go! She also teaches you how to enjoy the amazing time with your baby, giving you tips on toys and interactive play to help their development which in turn helps their sleep. But has the beautiful side effect of giving back to you the joy of a new baby - as the fog of tiredness clears and you can enjoy the glow of new motherhood confident you are doing the right thing for your child. No more insomnia for me! And looking forward to 8 hours unbroken sleep in the future! Vera is an expert, kind, patient and truly loves her job and the children she cares for. I couldn’t have asked for better help for me and my family.

We can’t recommend our maternity nurse enough. After a difficult labour we couldn’t have got through the next few weeks without her. Having her help gave me time to recover and she got our son William into a fantastic routine that meant he was quickly above his birth weight and sleeping well. She was great with breastfeeding and bathing advice and the all-important burping techniques! I honestly don’t know how we would have coped with out her. It is invaluable having someone that can help settle him in the night so we can get as much as sleep possible while recovering. Our maternity nurse also goes above and beyond with advice about pumping and would help put laundry on and sorting out his clothes. I would definitely use her again.

Kathryn came to us at a time when I had reached rock bottom with my health. I went to a doctor concerned I was having a stroke. I could barely function and felt awful. I learned that I was experiencing extreme sleep deprivation.My daughter was 13 months old, waking every 45 minutes overnight, constantly feeding and demanding attention. Sometimes she remained awake for two hour stretches. My husband and I were simply exhausted.A business associate suggested hiring a sleep trainer. We asked the agency to put forward their best sleep trainer and they promptly put us in touch with Kathryn.Upon Kathryn flying out to us in France, I was sure that Suzie was special and could not be sleep trained. We had tried everything including various approaches, techniques and tricks we picked up in books on sleep training, online sleep training specialists, white noise, cry it out. Nothing worked.Kathryn calmly and confidently assured us that her approach would help Suzy, all of us in fact. I was worried that my sleep pattern was so broken I would not be able to restore it. Kathryn gave me detailed, tailored and easy to follow advice. By the third night I was able to sleep properly again.And my daughter, within five nights Kathryn not only had her sleeping through the night but took away her sleep props including the sound machine. It gets very noisy outside of her room at 5-6 in the morning.I still cannot believe that she sleeps without her sound machine.Kathryn has taught her to reach and sustain deep sleep. We no longer need to creep around or whisper. We were walking on eggshells in our own home, terrified of waking her.At bedtime Suzie asks to be put to bed while we are putting on her pajamas, and she self settles too. It’s amazing.Everything has changed for the better. Kathryn weaned her off breastfeeding, she eats properly and well. She was not eating, she was underweight - we had sought out medical advice. Now she is the correct weight for her age and stage of development.Our daughter took to Kathryn immediately and Suzie is not the easiest customer! She is thriving: sleeping through the night, eating well three times a day and her development has skyrocketed. She is happy, calm and altogether a different child.We were so impressed that we hired Kathryn to accompany us overseas.We were concerned about maintaining the sleep training whilst away and wanted our daughter to nap during the day. She naps at nursery but we could not get her to nap at home. Kathryn managed to get her to sleep during the day. We have now hired Kathryn for our next London trip and an overseas trip at Christmas.I cannot thank or recommend Kathryn highly enough. She has transformed our lives. Highly professional and skilled, Kathryn is a font of information and a joy to be around. I only wish that we’d found her sooner.

I had a wonderful experience with Night Nannies. Having my first baby i was very nervous about having someone take care of my baby through the night but our night nanny was very reassuring and settled our baby beautifully. She even taught us some sleeping techniques which worked really well and was very friendly! I would strongly recommend this company if you are looking for a good nights sleep!

NN helped us find a night nanny for our second baby, 4 nights / week for 2 months, from about 2-10w. The agency was extremely efficient and prompt, providing a list of names and references on the day I enquired, filling our needs very quickly. Like all the other families who provided references, as soon as we met our nanny, we never wanted her to leave! Our NN was very kind, supportive, relaxed and easy to be around. When she arrived a calm descended - just what you need when overtired, adjusting to a new reality as a parent, and when sharing space in your home with someone you don’t yet know well. She brought a wealth of knowledge from all the babies she’s worked with - so we felt we benefited not just from the support in the night (enabling us to get some much needed rest) but from her guidance on routines, reflux, bottle issues, breastfeeding, health problems (our daughter was diagnosed with cows milk allergy) and much more. We wished we had met her earlier and had the benefit of her guidance with our first child, as her gentle and supportive approach would have helped us with new parent challenges and anxieties, and given us an easier journey first time. I’d recommend NN to anyone looking for support with their childcare, and will definitely be booking in the future if we need more support further down the line.
