Mums love their children - of course. Even when they play drums with spoon and bowl and the soup flies everywhere. Even when they decide your martini is the right place for the car keys. When they get in the way of Mum's life in a thousand ways.

We didn't put the soup back in the bowl but we gave a few Mums an hour of peace through our nanny service.

We had the nanny service running for three years and, regrettably, only a few Mums (and the odd Dad) took advantage of this opportunity for real relaxation. Not enough to make it worthwhile, and as of January 2018 we've discontinued this service.

We're still very sympathetic, and there may be instances when we can still help out while Mum or Dad are having a massage. Just ask when you book.
