What Our Clients Say

Heidi is fantastic. I first contacted Heidi as I was worried about making first time mum parenting mistakes (something I think every first time mum worries about). Zachary was only 16 weeks old but we had started introducing a routine and putting him to bed at 7pm but my husband and I were up and down about 10 times before 10pm and he was waking multiple times over night, and understandably it was causing tension in our relationship. Heidi was fantastic she guided us through every step to help him start to self settle, she made me feel human and actually really capable as a mum which is an amazing thing to be able to do. She helped us with overnight settling and gave me advice on feeding and day time naps. Within a couple of days we were having dinner together downstairs and Zachary was sleeping through from 7 until we gave him a dream feed about 10pm. Heidi also went above and beyond and helped me when we ended up at the doctors as Zachary wasn’t very well. She gave me advice on what to say and kept me calm. To say working with Heidi has changed my journey as a mum is an understatement she has given me a confidence that I am good mum and given me the skills to give Zachary the best start in life. She is thoughtful and knowledgeable and I firmly believe can help anyone who is willing to listen and follow the plan, as hard as it is at times. Zachary now goes to bed at 7, we are still dream feeding him at 11 but he only wakes up once from that time until between 6-7am but he’s only 18 weeks old. I feel confident that if I remain consistent he will very soon get results and I can’t wait until I can tell Heidi this news. Thank you for everything you are amazing and have helped Zachary and my husband and I more than you can imagine. \ud83d\ude0a\ud83d\ude0a\ud83d\ude0aClick here to book a complimentary chat with Heidi.

I can’t recommend Heidi enough!! She has been such a support for myself and my husband over the last few weeks. Our daughter Ava is 1 and has always been cuddled and rocked to sleep. Which was fine as a baby but it had progressed into a problem where she refused to go in her cot at all so we had to wait until she was deeply asleep. This meant nighttime wake ups could last two or three hours! Heidi was so amazing right from the start and immediately made me feel like I could talk to her and had a friend rather than someone I had just contacted for help! She put a great plan into place for Ava and was there through the tears of frustration and the joy of finally making progress! Any time I needed a boost or some words to keep me going she was there. She made the whole process of the two week plan so much better. Ava now sleeps in her own cot and we can put her down as soon as bedtime routine is over. We still have a little way to go to get her to settle herself entirely but this is purely due to circumstance and Heidi is still there for me whenever I need…. Honestly one of the nicest people and supportive sleep nanny I have ever spoken to!!!!Click here to book a complimentary chat with Heidi.

I am lost for words! I just want to thank you SO much. After feeling like I had totally lost control and there was no light at the end of a very long dark tunnel, my 8 month old daughter has just slept through for a straight 11 hours only on night 2 of the \fade out\ approach. I am one very happy mummy this morning. Thank you so much for your words and advice.

I would highly recommend Lucy to anyone. Lucy has been amazing and so helpful. The advice that she has given us has transformed our 17 month old son’s sleeping habits and we are all now getting a good night sleep. Thank you again Lucy!!!Would not nap during days and increased night wakings

We contacted Lucy in desperation to help us with our 2 year old Amiah, who was having real problems with her sleep. Amiah was really struggling to settle to sleep at night and waking frequently throughout the night. We were spending every night with her repeatedly refusing to stay in bed despite trying both bribery and discipline. Getting her to sleep was taking until beyond midnight some nights and frequently ending in her having tantrums and stress for everyone. We were persuaded to give Lucy a try by the many positive reports we had read and also we liked her softly softly type of approach rather than the tough love option. Lucy suggested a one to one plan which we agreed to and began about a week later. After our initial conversation we agreed a planed way forward to tackle the problem and Lucy laid out the steps in a very straight forward way, explaining the reasoning behind each one. It was a little slow to begin with but after a few weeks of sticking with the process and support from Lucy along the way, we began to see significant improvements in getting Amiah to sleep. There were times when we felt like it was never going to work but working together we stuck with it and now we can put her to bed, read her a story and walk away pretty confident that she will stay in bed and settle herself. She never wakes in the night and now comes to us like clockwork at 6am once her Sleep Bunny clock lights up! We are really pleased with the results and would definitely encourage anyone with similar problems to get in touch with Lucy to help get a decent nights sleep again. Thanks for your help Lucy!

I was at a real low with poor sleep for 2 months. I was so tired I couldn’t think how to fix it. Lucy understood the problem straight away with the initial one hour session. She made sure all the interventions we made were manageable for me and my husband. Jonah was sleeping through the night within 10 days, and not disturbing me until the sun came up after about 4 days! He is bright eyed and flourishing. And I feel so much more confident going on holiday knowing I have someone to call if it all goes wrong on my return!

From the moment I got in contact with Lucy I knew our lives (in particular our nights!) were about to get so much better! After speaking face to face through Skype I felt full of confidence to put a new sleep plan into action and began that very night! With Lucy to hold our hand and guide us through any hiccups little George (6 months) now completely self-settles to sleep and from waking every hour now only wakes once!! Lucy is amazing – she made me feel like our sleepless nights could be conquered and she was there every step of the way! I cannot thank her enough! If you’re reading this and contemplating getting in touch – don’t hesitate any longer! Lucy has changed our lives.Waking regularly through the night and not settling well

We contacted Lucy after a month of difficult, sleepless nights with our 7 month old son, Ralph. He would wake several times a night, often for several hours, and he would always end up in bed with us. We knew we had fallen into bad habits but couldn’t make sense of all the different advice in the baby books and online. The Sleep Nanny, Lucy, removed all doubt, creating a tailor made sleeping plan to suit us all and offering tips and advice on the best way to implement the plan. Lucy then supported us through her group calls, listening to the issues we were having and where necessary, tweaking our plan to overcome these difficulties.Within 10 days Ralph’s sleeping was so much better. He now goes down at 7:00pm soothing himself to sleep and sleeping through until 6:00am. We feel confident that we now have the necessary skills to ensure he continues to sleep well and we know what to do if he had a bad night. We would wholeheartedly recommend anyone who is struggling with their little ones sleep to contact The Sleep Nanny.Co-sleeping after being awake most of the night

Finding Lucy was an absolute god send! Our 2 year old daughter would not sleep in her own bed for nearly a year and would wake throughout the night constantly. We basically had no sleep of any quality or length for such a long period of time. However, doing Lucy’s programme of suggestions tailor made for our family really helped. It became much easier than I ever thought possible to get our little one back to sleeping in her bed without fuss and for the last 2 nights, our daughter has slept all the way through from 7:00pm until 6:30am. I wished that we had found Lucy a long time ago, but so happy now things are sorted, I feel we can get our life back and have evenings as well as good quality sleep through the night that is no longer disturbed. Our daughter is happier, more rested and life is good! Thank you Lucy so very much, we will recommend you to everyone!Co-sleeping and constant night wakings

After 15 months of broken sleep and daytime naps taken in the car or in the baby carrier I decided that things had to change. I found Lucy online and after reading the various feedback as well as how Lucy works I contacted her….\u00a0Immediately I felt comfortable chatting to her about the position we’d got in to… Lucy didn’t judge me, in fact she empathised and took time to understand how and why which made me relax and I was very keen and excited to get started!\u00a0\u00a0 I had got into a habit with my youngest daughter for ‘ease’ of her napping in the carrier so I could be on hand for my oldest daughter however at 15 months old this wasn’t working anymore!\u00a0\u00a0She wasn’t getting the quality of sleep and my oldest wasn’t getting quality time with mummy… I was feeling very guilty all of the time!\u00a0\u00a0 At night my youngest was still feeding to sleep and waking up numerous times to feed back to sleep so more often than not would end up in bed with me! My husband and I didn’t have any time together either – cue more guilt!!!!\u00a0\u00a0 I wanted a gentle solution with as little crying (from me and baby) as possible and I was also keen to continue feeding.\u00a0 Lucy took all this on board and made a plan of action that suited our circumstances.\u00a0 The first night was tough and had I not had Lucy to speak to the following morning I may have given in but I didn’t and for the first time my daughter slept for 6 hours straight!!!! Amazing!! I couldn’t believe it – we were delighted!\u00a0 Within a couple of days she was settling herself to sleep without much fuss and sleeping from 7 until 4am without a problem….\u00a0\u00a0 She’s still not totally sleeping through yet and we’ve had the odd hiccup but Lucy has given me the skills and the confidence to know what to do and how to manage this!\u00a0 Our daytime naps are also much better too, she’s in her cot and no longer reliant on feeding, the car or the carrier to sleep!\u00a0\u00a0This now free’s my time up to play properly with my older daughter which has made us both so happy. \u00a0Lucy is still on hand once the initial support is complete and I’m really enjoying being part of her members sleep club….\u00a0\u00a0 I would 100% recommend Lucy – she really knows her stuff and has totally helped our household.\u00a0\u00a0 A big thank you from us X\u00a0 Napping issues and overtired child

As you know, our son had been waking in the night for 6 months!! It just goes to show that with the right technique to suit the individual child, they can learn to sleep well within a week or two and with a gentle technique that doesn’t require stressing the child or parents out! He is also napping better in the day as a result.Constant night waking for over 6 months

I spent ages deliberating whether to have a sleep consultant – I was pretty cynical about whether anything would solve our early waking issues – but it was absolutely money well spent and something I wish I had done much earlier! I have two boys, Alfie, 7, and Elliott, nearly 2, and both have been fab sleepers except for the mornings starting as early as 4am, with a good morning being 5.30am. I could never really work out why because I’ve always been super consistent and had a really solid, good bedtime routine from very early on. Elliott was 21 months old when I contacted Lucy. She was lovely to deal with – very sympathetic and never patronising. After our initial Skype call I was still fairly skeptical and it was a tough month trying to put things into place when he really didn’t like the idea of changing. Now we are nearly 2 months in and Elliott regularly sleeps 6.45pm-6am and we’ve even had some mornings nearer 7am! Life seems so much better when you’re sleeping properly, and I’m so glad I made the move to get help.Early rising 4.30 daily and overtired
