Visiting the newly opened M Hotel
The Hotel Nanny was lucky enough to have a tour around the newly opened M Hotel — M is Montcalm’s spirited younger sibling. Same DNA, different personality. Strikingly original and supremely stylish, it’s a bold new landmark for London.
To leave a child alone in a hotel room?
I think, for me and again being hyper-vigilant — if the parents have made you aware of the decision to leave their children it clearly then makes you uneasy and without realising displaces some of that duty of care on your shoulders, knowing the children are alone and unsupervised. Of course I would never encourage this scenario and children always need a professional carer or parent/family member with them. However, I think it is important that the hotel sets out what the house rules are for such matters so everyone is clear about the safety aspects involved.
Leaving the nanny at home, and hello The Hotel Nanny
We normally take our nanny away with us to hotels purely because the local babysitting services are so dire we wouldn’t want to consider anything else… now we have come across The Hotel Nanny it changes the game plan for us! Could we really book a nanny for evenings and daytimes to fit around what we are wanting to do just alone.
Leaving our baby for the first time
I am worried about our imminent travel with our 6 month old baby, my husband has brought a weekend hotel stay for us to have some quality time, although we have one of your skilled nannies for the evening we are leaving our little girl for the first time. I can’t help but feel nervous.

Meeting Annabel Karmel
I recently had the good fortune to meet the famous Annabel Karmel at The Mumprenuer Awards where I was a finalist.
I was so pleased to meet her because when I had my first child, I followed avidly what her recipe books would advise for my little girl. I found her books so engaging and well presented she truly got me out of many nutritional dilemmas for my new born and fast growing toddler.

A Sleeping Baby – How Osteopathy Helps
Right from the start, Henry had never been a great sleeper and was always restless. Then at 9 months old things just got worse when his sleep became even more disturbed. He would wake up at least once a night, wide awake, crying and screaming for up to four hours.
Osteopathy for Babies and Children
I am a big believer and supporter of Osteopathy for children as I have seen so much incredible work done at the hands of talented Osteopaths for my own children. I often hear problems mum’s are having with their babies or toddlers and I know Osteopathy would be the remedy for so many of those issues. Here is a short introduction on how it could be a vital solution for your little one.

Ian Belcher — Guardian Journalist
My wife, myself — and I mustn’t forget two-year-old Johnny! — were hugely impressed with The Hotel Nanny during our recent stay at Lucknam Park near Bath. The bespoke service, calibrated specifically for topnotch hotels, was super efficient, simple to arrange and slickly organized around our timetable, with a vastly experienced nanny making light work of the evening. You can head out with total re-assurance that your youngsters are in safe hands.
