childminders west hampstead area- recommendations?

[minty3]

Can anyone recommend a good childminder in or near west hampstead area?

Mine is fab but I don't think she's got any places at the moment. She's near Kilburn tube. I can ask her if any of her friends have spaces? What age is your child and what days/hours do you need someone?

Hi thanks a mil! My daughter is just turned one and I would like her to get used to spending time without me and to socialise with other kids, so am pretty flexible- probably at the moment just looking at maybe 2 half days or 1 full day plus one half day

Hi minty - spoke to my CM today and she or one of her friends (she is part of Kilburn's Irish CM club ) might well be interested. Do you have any ideas what days or what? If you CAT me, I can send you her phone number

I love her - she's a gran coming up to 60 and gives my DS lots of love and much better homemade food than he ever gets from me!

Hi spicemonster- that would be great thanks
I have CAT you and will give her a call when you send me her number.
She sounds exactly what I'm looking for -a substitute gran type, as both my dd's grannies are back home in Ireland, and I really wanted a recommendation from someone as I didn't know where to start in my search!
