A private childcare village · London
It takes a village. We help you find yours.
A private childcare network and community for London families — where parents recommend the carers they trust, references are a tap away, and help never comes from strangers. We're starting in South West London and opening up across the whole city.
80 founding families are getting their village ready.

One city, one postcode at a time
We open in South West London first — Fulham, Chelsea, Notting Hill, Battersea, Bayswater, South Ken — then grow across all of London.

What is My Little Village?
A village, two sides of the door.
A trusted childcare marketplace and a real community — for the families who need care, and the carers who give it.
A private childcare network and community for London families.
Find vetted carers vouched for by parents you know, see at a glance who in your circle already trusts them, and join a local feed where parents share recommendations, advice and the names worth knowing.
The modern version of how families have always found care: word of mouth, made private, made yours.
A private professional network and community for London carers.
Build a living profile that shows who you really are — your qualifications, your languages, the families who vouch for you. Be discovered by parents in your area who already trust the people you've worked for, and connect with other carers near you.
Your experience, finally recognised.
Trust that's actually active
The best carer you'll ever find is already loved by someone you know.
MLV isn't built on anonymous star ratings. It runs on living recommendations: parents passing on the carers they adore, inside one interconnected network. See who vouched for whom, then message that parent directly to ask how it really went. References, one tap away.
- ✦ Parents recommend the carers they trust to the families around them
- ✦ Every carer carries real references from families who employed them
- ✦ Reach out to the recommending parent directly — trust you can verify
How it works
Three warm steps. No cold strangers.
You're invited in
A member sponsors you, or you enter a private code from someone you know. No open sign-ups, ever.
Meet vouched carers
Browse carers recommended by families who've actually employed them. See who vouched, then message that parent for the real story.
Connect & belong
Arrange care directly — we never take a cut. Then settle into the village feed, where your community keeps growing.
How sponsorship works
No one ever joins cold — that's the whole point.
If you're a family
A current member invites you, and two families in your circle confirm you. So every parent in your village is vouched for by someone real.
If you're a carer
The families who've employed you vouch for you. Their recommendation becomes your profile — your reputation travels with you, wherever you go.
For parents
Finally, childcare that feels like a warm handover.
Stop scrolling through strangers. In MLV, every carer arrives with a name attached — recommended by a parent you can actually reach. Find brilliant, vetted help, then settle into a village of local families who have your back.
Vetted, recommended carers
Verified identities and real references from families like yours.
References, one tap away
Message the parent who vouched and ask how it really went.
A village that has your back
Local parents sharing tips, sitters and trusted hands.
Private & invitation-only
Seen only by your village. Nothing public, nothing sold.
Good morning

You're in! 🎉
Help us build the right groups for your area — tell us what you're into.
Open your village and you land on a living local feed — what's on in your postcode, parents asking for a hand, others recommending the sitters and classes they love. Ask, recommend, reply: it's the group chat your street never had.
Tell us what you're into — coffees & meet-ups, kids' activities, new-mum groups — and we'll grow the right communities around you. It starts small and personal, and becomes the village parents have always relied on, now living in your pocket.
"A village you are invited into."
Membership
A small membership keeps the village private and ad-free.
Start with a full month, completely free. No commission on anything you arrange with your carer, and no card needed until your sponsors have welcomed you in. Cancel anytime — though we hope you won't want to.
Questions
It's a private childcare network and community for London families — and for the carers they trust. For parents, it's a place to find vetted carers recommended by people you know, plus a local feed to share tips and trusted hands. For carers, it's a professional network where the families who've employed you vouch for you, so new families nearby can discover and trust you. It's word of mouth, made private, safe and easy. We're starting in South West London and growing across the city.
We're launching soon on iOS and Android, starting in South West London. Leave your email above and we'll let you know the moment the app is live and ready to download — so you can join your village from day one.
Carers are recommended by families who've actually employed them. On a carer's profile you can see who vouched for them, and message that parent directly to ask how it really went. Trust here is active and verifiable — not anonymous stars.
We're starting there so each village is genuinely local and densely connected — Fulham, Chelsea, Notting Hill, Battersea, Bayswater and South Ken. But MLV is built for all of London, and we're opening new postcodes as families join. Leave your email and we'll bring the village to your area.
Never. Whatever you and your carer agree is entirely between you — we don't touch it. MLV is a community, not a middleman.
