​

NEST was founded in 2018 by Lucy, a qualified Norland Nanny and Maternity Practitioner who has ten years of experience, and has worked with families and their children, both privately and in the Community through the NHS. This has enabled Lucy to gain a wealth of knowledge and experiences and she passionately believes that no two journeys are the same which is why she felt a bespoke service should be made available.

Testimonials 

"Lucy was very easy to talk to and offered great advice with both our daughter(s) and us in mind. Following a difficult year, Lucy adapted her advice to support the whole family and we found it really reassuring and helpful. Professional, approachable and practical service"

"I’m looking forward to implementing Lucy's advice and reaping the rewards! Her calming professional approach instantly put me at ease and she made me feel very comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Lucy with any other issue I needed help with"

"Lucy is absolutely excellent. I had immediate confidence in her and I would recommend her in the highest possible terms"

"Lucy immediately made me feel at ease and offered some fantastic advice, I immediately implemented what Lucy and her years of experience recommended and I can’t tell you the difference it has made. I don’t dread mealtimes anymore and to top it off, Lucy herself was fantastic with my daughter, making her feel comfortable and relaxed. I can’t recommend her enough! This is a service all parents need, I’ll definitely be consulting NEST again in the future"

"We had a great Skype sleep consultation with Lucy regarding getting our 1 year old to sleep through, Lucy understood our parenting style quickly and offered fantastic ways in supporting getting our daughter to learn to settle herself in a gentle way without causing distress for her. We have almost made it through the night! Highly recommend Lucy!!"
