As a qualified nursery nurse, former child protection social worker, registered childminder, and mother herself, she understands every facet of child welfare and development. Maxine participates in every part of the daily routine—cooking nutritious meals, guiding learning through play, changing nappies, and offering detailed, reassuring feedback to parents every step of the way.
Maxine: Founder, nursery nurse, and qualified childminder
Caroline: Experienced private nanny and qualified childminder
Caroline has worked for more than 15 years as an exceptional private nanny and qualified childminder. She has extensive medical training & experience having cared for children needing extra support. As a mother herself, Caroline understands the gentle patience and attention required to help children settle in seamlessly and thrive.

Rosie: Early years practitioner and qualified childminder
Maxine's daughter Rosie completed her level 2 apprenticeship as an early years practitioner and is registering to become a fully qualified childminder. Rosie brings vibrant enthusiasm, modern early years learning practices, and a deep, intuitive family bond to our setting. Like every member of our team, Rosie takes a complete hands-on role in daily care: preparing wholesome food, feeding, teaching, playing, and sharing regular updates with parents to celebrate each child's individual milestones.
"Maxine, Caroline, and Rosie provide such a loving, secure home from home. Knowing they are fully trained in paediatric first aid and safeguarding gives us total peace of mind every single day."
