I am Filipina housekeeper/butler. Poppy Lane have top clients that pay proper rates. I have done long term weekend work and event work for this agency and Florence is so kind and once I have an issue with a client paying me on time and she sorted for me no worries like they care. Very happy and my friends all like

Elaine and Nick at Poppy Lane provided exceptional service in helping us find a Nanny. Their hard work, consistent communication and commitment throughout the entire process to ensure we found an exceptional nanny was unmatched compared with other agencies. They went above and beyond at all times and were always on hand to answer any questions, queries and concerns we had. Thank you so much!

I have worked with Poppy Lane as a candidate and an employer and am always impressed with the ledger of clients they have both in the UK, Middle East and the USA. I find the agency goes the extra mile with a one on one approach to match the right talent with employers. I would definitely use this boutique agency again and encourage others to try their service.

I have known Elaine Braid from Poppy Lane Placements for over 10 years, her agency is one of the most professional and organised I have dealt with in my career in private households. Elaine works incredibly hard in the recruitment process to find the very best and experienced candidates for potential jobs. Elaine has a wealth of experience in the private household sector, and has always had the highest standards and top caliber of jobs. Elaine has a wonderful ability to place the right candidates with the right clients. She is always available and there as a helping hand to guide and give advice . I have had some wonderful jobs through my career with the agency and would highly recommend Poppy Lane placements for families and candidates who want not only a personal touch but an agency who goes over and above to provide the best possible service .

Elaine and the team have help me placing several staff in UHNW private homes. They have always been on hand and very responsive, often turning around stand in staff at the drop of a hat and helping to place temp staff for events. Over the years I’ve built a great relationship with the team and will always turn to them when recruiting.

When I first met Elaine I was living in San Francisco and planning a return to London we had a long discussion about Californian cuisine, ingredients and restaurants in general. Elaine has a background in cooking having spent time as a private chef and is a real foodie with a great insight into ‘chef life’ . Elaine’s understanding of the job along with her honest approach make her a pleasure to work with. I have worked for a number of Elaine’s clients providing bespoke dinner party experiences in their homes. Elaine has a huge list of highly discerning clients and only works with the best talent in the industry, she’s incredibly hard working, easy to talk to and I can’t recommend poppy lane highly enough

I met Elaine few years ago, when I use to run a well know Japanese restaurant in London, Zuma. She is the kind of person who has the right connection and I found that working for her was a great benefit as I got to know some of the most influential people in the industry . Most important and luckily for me, Elaine she kept me busy and running since last summer 2020 to now! She helped me to get the right exposure , and her knowledge on all types of level is incredible . She is determinate to get things right and she will brainstorm you before each assignment, supporting the overall success for both sides. What else ... simply I can strongly recommend poppy pane placements!! MC

I have worked with Elaine Braid and her team since 2016, she has placed me in numerous high profile roles both permanent and temporary. She has always found me roles that suit me and my expertise as well as providing the most competitive salaries. I find her team very responsive, they genuinely care about making a good match between you and the family, therefore giving you the best chance to be successful in the role. The after care is also fantastic, Elaine will always check in and see how you are getting on. If I ever happen to be not working or not placed through Elaine, she will phone me up with jobs she thinks I might be interested in or just to check if she can be of assistance in any way with my job search. I would 100% recommend Elaine and her team! Florence Richardson, Norland Nanny (Set 35).

Definitely the best agency I have dealt with, Elaine and her team are fabulous and professional. Elaine will help you find the best role which suits you. Even after Elaine placed me in a role abroad, she was still checking in on me for the 10months I was away. Lovely lady. Always professional, always amazing, always helpful. James.

I am very happy to work with Poppy Lane, especially Florence! I was in touch with a few agencies but NOBODY helped me as professionally and reliably as she! Florence helped me find a great job in which I'm happy and fulfilled professionally. I highly recommend them! Full professionalism, honesty and a good approach to the client! Thank you again!

I’ve known Elaine for over 10 years. She’s an incredibly hard working and professional woman. She personally strives to find the staff on her books positions that suit them and her clients to make good matches that last years. I’ve been placed as a nanny several times by Poppylane Placements and have always had excellent jobs, Elaine finds great clients offering great work! I will always return to Poppylane Placements when I’m looking for a new position, because I know I can trust them as a team AND Elaine, both personally and professionally.

The Poppy Lane team were great to work with and went the extra mile to find me a suitable position and negotiate terms which were right for me. I absolutely love the family I'm working with now - definitely one of my best jobs. Thank you all for your help, your openness, and for your keen eye for matching candidates with families.

D. S.

Nick was so helpful and efficient. He managed to get me registered very quickly and placed me within weeks! He sent me plenty of job specs to look at and is very responsive. Nick and Elaine both communicated well, in a professional manner. I could not recommend them more if you are looking for an amazing role with a high quietly agency.

I first met the Poppy Lane team a couple of years back when applying for my current job through them. I really wanted the role in question and they did everything they could to support me along the way, the team at PL were super helpful, it was a long process but we got their in the end. Since then Elaine and Nick have helped place several staff members in the house I work in, we have a fantastic team who are all down to them.

I've had a great experience with Poppy Lane Recruitment. Very friendly and a team that go out of their way for you. I have really loved how they match employee with employer. Keeping it very personal. Well done guys!

u. l.

From all the Placement agency we work with in London without any doubt one of the best. Elaine and the team know what they are doing!! Really Looking forward to use this agency again!!

I've known Elaine and Poppy Lane Placements for several years as I also manage a domestic staffing agency in London. I've heard nothing but positive things from mutual clients' name dropping Elaine in and around the Notting Hill area and from candidates who have landed some of the most sort after positions globally via her agency. At this level, an agency needs to have very high standards, be incredibly selective, and work with only the very best candidates. So often in recruitment, this means that many applications that don't make the cut are ignored however, Elaine has a tell it like it is approach which seemingly not everyone likes. She is a straight talker with an abundance of experience and highly sought after connections in the industry, but if you apply for a position and she doesn't think you are right, she will tell you why. I guess it's up to you how you take that feedback. In my opinion, Poppy Lane has taken some unnecessary bashing on here from disgruntled applicants, so I felt it best to offer a different perspective. Good luck for the rest of 2020 PLP! Nick

I met the staffs for registration. I explained to them what kind of role I was looking for. They then started sending me jobs that fitted my expectations. It took them less than 2 weeks to find a job for me. After 3 years I am still with the same family the agency put me in. I am forever grateful to the agency! I’ve highly recommended them to fellow nannies who are looking for jobs. I’ve tried a few agencies and not of them were as professional and fast as Poppylane Placement in sending jobs. Even for temp and part time jobs I always and only go to Poppylane Placement! 🤞🏻🙏🏻

Poppy Lane placements have been nothing but professional, supportive and diligent, in particular during Covid19. Elaine ensured I was put forward to roles I wish to take, specific to my requests, experience and qualifications. Elaine set up multiple interviews with different families. In less than a week, I got a job, before Covid19 hit. I was placed with a family in Holland Park as a teacher. She is helping me find a permanent role. I could not recommend more, highly impressed.

A. S.

5 stars for an amazing agency! Excellent communication, helped me find a great position extremely quickly. Big thanks to Elaine and Nick for all their hard work and support. Would definitely recommend for those both looking for positions and advertising positions as Elaine is very well connected and has a great eye for matching people!

Nick went above and beyond for me when I applied. He interviewed me quickly upon receiving my CV and sent me a couple of jobs. It was quiet for a few weeks but it was also the peak of Covid lockdown. Then suddenly, (and I’m assuming it’s when the jobs started to come in) he was sending more jobs my way then I could believe. I felt like Nick believed in me and took my experience in the industry seriously and was able to paint me in a really good way to prospective employers. This put me in such a good position during the interview process. I secured a job relatively quickly from applying for it and both Nick and Elaine were fantastic when it came to negotiating terms and income level. I like how Elaine seemed so on top of what she was doing, a strong business woman to say the least. Will definitely be recommending future nannies their way.

The people at Poppy Lane, specifically Florence helped me with finding a suitable job and gave me valuable advice. Highly recommended agency. Thank you so much for your helping me find a new job!

We have use Elaine's Agency in many occasions and I have to say they provide outstanding services. Elaine and the team are really professional and supportive!! Strongly suggested!!

C. C.

Fantastic team at Poppy Lane, they always manage to get me ad-hoc work and always let me know about new roles coming up. Super friendly, very approachable and they always keep in touch. Elaine and the team have a great sense of humour whilst remaining professional! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Poppy Lane Placements if you’re looking for a new role in the private sector!

H. C.

Poppy Lane have created a fantastic network over the years, in London and overseas. Elaine is super connected and has a talent for pairing personalities. She spots clients needs quickly and does a great job in matching with the best candidates.

Elaine interviewed me for a position in Saudi Arabia which unfortunately didn’t come to fruition , but have since been in contact multiple times about other opportunities . Professional and efficient. Would highly recommend for prospective job seekers. 5*

C. F.

Elaine at poppy lanes has sent me on two high profile interviews and I accepted the second position. I am now working full time. I am a Norland Nanny and I secured my current position within 10 days of actively looking for work. Would recommend

D. C.

I have worked for a number of Elaines clients and refer her to many of my high net worth clients for their staffing needs and they have always been impressed and continue to use her services. She is hard working, professional and honest and matches the clients needs to the professional perfectly.

p. l.

I was recommended Poppy Lane by a chauffeur at work . I have found Elaine and her team to be very supportive whilst I have been searching for a new chef role. She's given me very honest advice after I was with the same employer for 8 years, which was very valuable in helping me find a new job.

Nick Denton is AMAZING, Poppy Lane was not on my radar, they took my niche skill set and found my dream job, it was quite a lengthly process but Nick held my hand throughout, I look forward to going to work everyday.

M.

Got off to a slow start as Elaine didnt respond as quickly as I would have ideally liked, however I was put in front of two clients within a month , one of which I have now been with for 6 months. Ive heard from one of the staff or Elaine herself 3 times since starting just to see how everything in the new job is going. Find them really easy to deal with.

O. P.

Poppy Lane have found me a number of short term temporary tasks working as a houseman/handyman’s Always responsive and easy to work with. Ellie was especially helpful during my recent last minute task I undertook in Surrey. Thank you very much🤗

K. P.

We relocated from Hong Kong to London and I needed a governess at short notice. Nick at Poppy Lane found us a wonderful candidate who was highly qualified, reliable, flexible and importantly fun. We are relocating full time to London and will use PL for any private staff requirements.
