Excellent service - gave us much needed sleep! Excellent service from nightnannies and I would have no hesitation recommending her to any parents. Our night nanny has a wonderful personality, as soon as I met her I instantly trusted her to look after my son - she is greatly experienced in childcare and was able to give us first time parents wonderful tips to assist us in so many areas - more effective breastfeeding, guidance for helping newborns sleep and various other life hacks which were so useful.

Newborn Night Nanny We were lucky enough to have the amazing Hannah look after our newborn overnight. The whole service with Night Nannies was easy and the process smooth.

Just excellent I honestly do not know what we would have done without ***. Henry was 10 months old and had never slept for more than 2 hours without waking (save for one individual 7 hour stretch when he was 7 weeks old). We were a feeding-to-sleep, co-sleeping, nap-fighting family where Henry could wake up to 14 times a night for a feed between 21:00 and 07:00. We now have Henry on two solid naps and 19:00 to 07:00 every night. This is SOLELY due to ***.

She was so calm at all times. Henry clearly loved being with her. She looked at the whole picture and gave us SO much help with Henry’s diet, with lots of ideas to get him to eat more. His routine is now excellent. Previously I had worried about being “tied to the cot” but actually I now feel like I have more time to do things because his sleep is so much more predictable.

If you are in two minds about using ***, please don’t be. I had always been concerned / scare mongered about sleep training methods, but this led me to reaching breaking point with Henry’s needs being unsustainable. *** is so so gentle, never leaving the baby for the first two nights whilst they learn other ways to fall asleep other than the breast. It’s a cliché, but I wish I had used *** sooner. THANK YOU.

We decided to call Vera as our 7 month old daughter was refusing to take a bottle, snacking a lot and increasingly waking in the night. I had been trying to stop breastfeeding without any success.Vera helped us make lots of important changes across the entire routine which has made a huge difference and Allegra is much more settled, eating proper portions, gaining weight sleeping better. Some of the changes seemed very small and were not always related to the feeding routine but I could quickly see that it was important to make sure that we were giving her the right structure for playtime, sleep and feeding. Vera’s experience made me feel very confident she knew what was going to work for Allegra and, sure enough, by the first day of fully implementing the new routine my daughter was eating proper meals and sleeping through the night.Asking Vera to come and help has been the best decision we have made and I’m so grateful. Aside from being very good at what she does Vera is also so lovely and a joy to have around the house! I highly recommend her.

Our nanny was a very calming influence and our son felt safe with her. She looked after him during the night and a few hours in the morning too - our little boy looked both well rested and well played ! She was discrete and quietly confident, exactly what we were looking for in a night nanny! Would definitely recommend.

The service we’ve had from night nannies has been a really big help for us during the first year of having our son. They always have someone great to recommend, even at less than a couple of hours notice. It was a huge comfort to know we could call on them when we had a really tough night or needed to be well rested the day after. The nannies also have great advice for all the problems & concerns I had. A big thumbs up from us :)

Our night nanny came to look after our little girl for a few nights a week for a month. She was a breath of fresh air - calm, kind, positive, and knowledgeable. She put me at ease straight away, she is very efficient and was able to give me sensible and valuable advice. She was wonderful with my baby and I felt completely reassured which enabled me to get some much needed rest. She has a great vibe and is excellent chat as well! I really enjoyed her company. I couldn't recommend her more highly, she is a very special person who does an incredible job.

Claire is a fantastic nanny and has… Claire is a fantastic nanny and has been such a lifeline especially during Covid lockdown. She made us feel at ease straight away and really cares about our little boy. It’s a pleasure having her here each week as she is such a lovely, kind person and has been a great sounding board on all things baby related. She’s great with our baby and has really helped improve his sleep.

Our nanny was an absolute lifesaver. We had a very unsettled, refluxy baby boy and she soothed him like absolute magic. We felt so relaxed on the days she was coming because we knew he'd be in safe experienced hands and we would get some sleep at last! She is super easy to get along with and a great communicator. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Our night nanny came to us when our baby was 4 weeks old and was with us for three nights a week for 6 weeks, followed by a few weeks of two nights as my husband‘a work became very demanding. From the outset she was incredibly warm and immediately formed a bond with the baby. From her first week with us she was able to put the baby into a regular sleeping and feeding pattern overnight, which was a huge help for the nights when we were alone. We have as a result been able to get to a point at three months where he sleeps well and is only waking once a night to feed.

In addition to her skills with the baby, our nanny clearly cares very deeply about everyone she works with and has been an invaluable sounding board for me when I have any questions about day or night routines, colds, niggles or advice about how to work towards sleeping through the night and onwards. There is no doubt that I am a calmer mother as a result of having had her helping me (not only because I am better rested).
