For a better night sleep

About Suffolk Sleep Fairy......

Victoria Sargeant
Welcome to my page, I trained as a Nursery Nurse/Nanny in 1998-2000 obtaining a BTEC National Diploma in Early Childhood Studies. I went on to work as a Nanny and Nursery Nurse. I then obtained a 2:1 BA Hons degree in Human Services before training to become a Social Worker and working as a family support worker. I have worked in the public sector for around 20 years supporting a variety of children and their families in varying roles.

I am fortunate enough to be a mother of two beautiful children and since having my children I wanted to be able to help other parents get some much needed sleep. I have experienced sleep problems first hand, so know only to well how important sleep is for everyone in the family and the detrimental impact it can have if you are sleep deprived. 

I completed a Diploma in Children's behaviour in 2021 and a level 4 OCN baby sleep consultant course in 2022.

I am based in Suffolk, UK but with the wonders of technology i am able to support families worldwide. I work one on one with families to build a plan that works uniquely for them.

Please look at my packages to see which best would suit you and your needs.

Please ask any questions you may have.

I look forward to working with you soon.

I am fully DBS checked as of June 2022.

Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I aim to make contact with you within 48 hours.


 I came across Suffolk Sleep Fairy when I was in desperate need for some sleep! My 4.5 month little boy at the time was only ever having contact naps, (which we had to rock to sleep and keep asleep on us), was co-sleeping and waking up every hour for a sip of his milk for comfort to then go back to sleep and had no routine whatsoever! Within 2 days of implementing all Vicki’s tips my little boy was getting himself to sleep when we place him in his cot for both naps and bed time. He only has one bottle at night time (only if needed) and is sleeping 5/6 hour stretches so far! We have only been doing “sleep training” for 2 weeks and the difference is unbelievable! He is a much happier little boy when he wakes up because of him napping properly through the day. I can’t recommend Vicky enough she has been there for me as soon as I text or need her for all of my questions throughout the last 2 weeks and I don’t know what I would of done without her! A BIG THANK YOU off me, Max & Jordan xxx

 Vicki has honestly changed our lives! We bought every gadget going, signed up to countless apps seeking some help for our little boy as we had reached breaking point, with the numerous wake ups and restless nights. From 5 months old he refused to go to sleep unless he was rocked and in our bed we can pin point when it all went wrong when he sadly had a period in hospital but Vicki wrote us the most amazing plan which we full heartedly stuck to and we cracked it! He now goes down awake in his cot and in his room and last night slept through to 6am!!!! We honestly feel like new people. Her support and advice is second to none. I am back at work tomorrow after a year off and feel so positive and happy now we have gotten into a great routine as a family. Please contact her as soon as possible if you feel you need support I wish I had found her 5 months ago don’t wait for it to get better alone sign up guys it’s a game changer! Will be forever grateful to have found you Vicki I enjoy being a mum so much more now I have had some sleep! Emma & Kev xx

 We were at the end of our rope with no sleep only contact naps constantly waking throughout the night and up at 4-5am in the morning. He’s 9months and hasn’t slept properly since 4months old. Vicki is a literal fairy/goddess. We are on week three and he sleeps! He goes in his cot for naps and he sleeps at night! If you’re thinking oh no what could she help me with I’ve tried it all, you haven’t tried her! Her plans are amazing she answers all your questions no matter how stupid. Don’t let people make you think it’s silly to get help. Best decision ever, also has made a huge difference in him throughout the day. Don’t wait DO. Honesty Vicki you are the best we love you

 My partner and I would highly recommend Suffolk Sleep Fairy. We were having issues with both day and night sleep. Very quickly these issues were resolved. Prior to commencing the gentle sleep training we thought it was going to be a big struggle but it was a lot easier than we ever imagined. If we had any issues during the week we were implementing the new routine, Vicki would quickly respond to messages telling us what to do. The sleep plan is robust so you can continue to implant things following the weeks guidance. We have seen such a big improvement with our little ones sleep and we are really thankful for all the help.

 Vicki is lovely and so relatable. It was so insightful to learn how and why things were happening and the best ways to put a stop to night waking. I have a two year old and 10 month old twins and it was just so difficult with one screaming twin which would then wake our toddler, enough was enough. Fast forward only ONE WEEK and the twins go to sleep each nap time in their cots and within 5-10 minutes max they’re asleep. They sleep for the full duration of their nap and I’m finally able to shower, put clean washing away which NEVER happens and even drink a hot cuppa. The twins now sleep through 7pm until 6:30am and it’s great! Thank you Vicki 💕

 If I’m being honest I had no idea if hiring a sleep consultant for our 8 month old baby would work, but all I can say is WOW 😭 Vicki has utterly changed our lives in literally the space of ONE DAY. Vicki sent us across a detailed sleep plan for our little boy, and as soon as implemented her advice, we got results. I wish we’d have done it a little sooner as he was waking 5-6-7 times a night to feed and to be resettled, and it was exhausting! Now he sleeps through all night, and goes down nicely for his naps! It’s made our life so much easier and happier, and me and my partner have our space back in the evenings! Postpartum doesn’t have to equal sleep deprivation! With Vicki's help you won’t be disappointed!

 The Suffolk Sleep Fairy has worked her magic! My daughter Phoebe is 11 months old. She slept through the night until she was 6 months old and started weaning. She absolutely loves her food and was a breastfed baby. She started to want less milk from me in the day time, but was waking at night and using me to comfort herself back to sleep. We were both pretty tired. I took advice from Vic and was super impressed to hear she had had a 100% hit rate on helping children and babies to sleep through the night ! Within 3 nights Phoebe was sleeping through. She now goes to sleep at 7pm and wakes just after 6am. I feel like a new woman and we are both better equipped to enjoy the day. Thank you so much Suffolk Sleep Fairy ! I would definitely recommend the professional advice and superb aftercare and checking in to see how we were getting on. Thank you!

 Vicki is really amazing and im really glad I found her on Instagram. My 8 month old was feeding to sleep day and night, sleeping on me for naps, waking bang on every 2 hours at night and it was hell. Enough was enough! I had tried everything I thought I could do and nothing was working, until I found the Suffolk sleep fairy!! Vicki talked through the plan of action and all the sleep problems and we are just over a week now and my boy now doesn’t feed to sleep, he only wakes a couple times per night and he can settle himself back to sleep when he does wake up, all things he could never do before. I’m looking forward to see how he does in a another weeks time of the new routine and him sleeping through the night!! Thank you Vicki for persevering with my 101 questions and helping us xx

 I wasn’t sure if using a sleep consultant was the best thing to do, but I thought what could we loose? And I’m so glad we did. Our little girl (7 months) got into a habit of waking twice a night for a bottle which meant she was not drinking her milk in the day and only having her three small meals and water. Well, after our 30min consultation with Vicki and a few tears after from me at the realisation our little one needed to go in her own room …. What a success so far. Second night in and no wakings for a feed and self soothed both times she has woken. I’d highly recommend. Money well spent and Vicki is overall really lovely. Xx

 I spoke to Vicki for the first time via telephone when I was looking for advice on my 4 month olds short day time naps. She was instantly easy to talk to, friendly, approachable and knowledgeable too. She gave some great tips and advice and informed me of the importance of trying to help my baby sleep longer in the day. We put together a list of things to try and a back up plan if that didn’t work either! Thank you for your help Vicki 😊

 I recently took advantage off the offer that was on to help with my babies sleep. Although I’m yet to try it, it’s got a really good structure to it. There’s clear advice and timings. Victoria is quick to respond and very helpful in her responses. I hope to keep in touch with her with my babies progress and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her x

 I would 100% recommend Vicki I had a call with her to see if she would be able to help with our 6 months old, who would only sleep if held and was waking regularly in the night (and most of the time ending up in our bed). Vicki produce a plan for us which I was worried would be hard to stick to however it was much easier than expected, yes the first night was hard but we could see the progress within a day or 2. After 1 week our little one now has both naps in his own cot and is able to settled himself to sleep and is only waking once in the night but sleeping in his own cot. Vicki was on hand to answer questions and offer encouragement which was a great support. Thanks Vicki

 I am so grateful to have found Vicki! My 11 month old daughter hasn't had the smoothest sleep journey, we had spoken to another sleep consultant when she was 5 months and although it sorted 90% of our challenges it left me feeling like I was a massive failure and we still had night time wakes. Over time they got worse and worse and we were up for 3+ continuous hours in the night, every night. I couldn't work out what I was doing wrong and felt really embarrassed to be seeking sleep help again, but with my husband going away for 10 nights, we knew something had to change and fast! Vicki immediately put me and my husband at ease, she was so incredibly kind, thorough, looked at our whole schedule, routine and every aspect of our daughters sleep and was able to pin point what wasn't working. Within 4 days she was sleeping through! I cannot believe it's happened really! Vicki is so knowledgeable but also kind and empathetic. I really felt like she took the time to understand our family and situation, and is excellent value for money. I would recommend her to anyone and will not hesitate to go back to her in the future as our daughters sleep develops.

 Having known Vicki for a number of years, it was great to see that she was now offering all the sleep tips as the Suffolk Sleep Fairy, and I knew that she would be so friendly and easy to chat to. I messaged her about my 5 month old and his dreaded early morning 5am wake ups and daytime naps. She replied so quickly, asked questions about our home routine and gave me such good advice and top tips on how to try and get those precious morning hours back. I put everything she had advised to use straight away and BOOM...6.30am wake up to a happy little baby the next morning. I'm so glad I contacted Vicki, she was fab. Thank you x x

 I can’t thank Vicki enough! Our 14 month old has been awake in the night and in our bed for 2-3 hours a night for the last couple of months. Also we were cuddling him to sleep. We were like walking zombies! Had a 30 min chat with Vicki Thurs and implemented new regime starting Fri night. Sun lunchtime nap and he’s put himself to sleep in his cot without so much as a whimper. AMAZING! Let’s hope it continues. Thanks again Vicki x

 Gosh, I was so lucky to have enjoyed the offer and it was such a blessing. Her response was prompt, she’s so professional too. To think her email said ‘it’s a one off consultation ’ I was so shocked I got a direct message checking up on my little one. That goes a long way knowing it’s not just about the money you pay, she truly cares about the well-being of your little one. The best part is all the tips I got has magically changed my life cos I’m no longer a sleep deprived mum, I’m a happy rested mum. Thank You 🙏🏾

 I'd highly recommend Vicki at Suffolk Sleep Fairy. I met Vicki at a playgroup and mentioned about my Daughters early waking (baby) & my eldest toddler in the night. She gave me a tailored sleep plan with some really useful hints and tips we hadn’t thought of. With perseverance and patience we managed to reduce night waking and increase the lay ins meaning less exhausted Mummy & Daddy and children! 🙌😄 She was so supportive throughout and gave some really great advice. Don’t hesitate to book if your also a sleep deprived parent! 😴 Thank you Vicki x

 Vicki wss lovely. I was one of those who chose to take advantage of the special. Vicki was professional and thorough when providing me with My plan and answering my questions. She also followed up by checking on our progress and providing feedback. thankyou Vicki.

 We have followed Vicki’s plan for a week so far with our 15month old Edward and to say I am stunned is an understatement. We went from co-sleeping and breastfeeding all night, to him being in his own room and sleeping through by night 6! I feel like myself again 🤩 Vicki has been so kind and understanding and made sure our plan fitted in with our whole family, as I really didn’t want our two other sons sleep impacted by any crying etc. We’ve had barely any tears, the plan has worked a treat. If you are considering contacting Vicki then go for it, you will not regret it.

 I contacted Vicki as my little boy was having short naps which was affecting his sleep at night with lots of waking. Vicki was so easy to talk to and gave us lots of tips to help my little ones day naps which we straight away put into action and it worked wonders for both day and night sleep! It’s allowed me to get things done and I have a much happier baby due to more sleep and better routine that works for him. It was so nice to have her check in with us every day to see how we were getting on, she was always on the other end of the phone whenever I needed her. Vicki is incredibly approachable and relatable, felt like I could talk to her about all things motherhood and not be judged, only reassured. Thank you Vicki for all your help. I would not hesitate to give Vicki a message whenever I needed help in the future xx

 I met Vicki through doing her husbands hair, I had happened to mention to him that my 2.5yr old was going through a funny spell sleep wise. He mentioned that his wife was the Suffolk sleep fairy, and I got in touch. After trying every book under the sun, and various other methods, which have been not much help to me. Vicki offered some really helpful information and new ideas for me to take on board, and help get my little girls sleep back on track. I have already started putting these to good use and fingers crossed I am already noticing a change! I will definitely be getting in touch with Vicki in the future as I am sure I will be needing help later down the line with my little boy too. Fab, personal yet professional service. Will 100% be recommending to any of my friends and family in need. Thank you so much! ❤️

 I met Victoria at a baby sensory class as our little ones were the same age and I’d happened to mention that my baby wasn’t sleeping well at all. She took us under her (sleep fairy) wings and gave us the best advice, routine ideas and generally shared all of her wisdom! We’ve never looked back and always have her to thank for getting our sleep back so quickly. She’s also such a lovely, approachable person with absolutely no judgement whatsoever ❤️Thank you so much.

 I am so glad we got in touch with Vicki! From the initial phone call with her, I knew we had found the right person to support us. Our little boy was waking constantly overnight and only settling with a feed. Vicki wrote us a structured and really detailed plan and we put it into practise immediately. We have seen a real difference and we are less than two weeks in. He is now self settling for daytime naps and night time sleep. Whilst he’s still having a couple of night time wakes, he’s feeding less overnight and generally settling himself back to sleep without any fuss. I’m excited to see how this continues to improve over the next couple of weeks! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Vicki to anyone struggling with their little ones sleep.

 I have three adopted children. My eldest was and still is a dream at bedtime. My middle child was and still is a complete nightmare. Although age 6, he has a much lower mental age, which has been a struggle. At my wits end I found Victoria. She has helped me set up a new night time routine with tricks and distraction for his normal triggers. His disrupted nights are now much less so, as he has a much deeper sleep. My now 3 year old had learnt poorly from her brother, but with Victorias help, she too now has a full nights rest. To say Victoria has been a help is an understatement juggling the two younger siblings, who present as a similar age. Not every night is a success but most nights are truly breezy compared to a year ago. Thank you Victoria. You are my personal sleep fairy, as now, I actually get some.

 I got intouch with vicki due to having daily 3 am/4am daily wake ups which were making me exhausted with 12 hour shifts ahead. Vicki took her time to listen to our daily routines, and as Arthur can self settle she knew just what tweets were needed. following the plan Vicki gave us with fantastic support we managed to shift Arthur's wake ups to 6.15 and this has made a huge difference. even when Arthur became poorly she extended the support and I was so very grateful for this. I can honestly say if I have any future concerns Vicki will be my first point of call she is great at what she dies and so very supportive unlike other sleep consultants that I have contacted previously thanks again Vicki xx

 Thank goodness for Vicki! Vicki really helped us turn a corner with our 15 month old boy. He was waking 3-6 times a night and only settling with milk. After a 30minute chat we knew exactly the steps to take to a better nights sleep all round. We are day 6 now and our little boy is self settling, has cut out the milk and enjoying longer stretches of sleep. Thankyou so much Vicki for your amazing advice on how to support us on our sleep journey.
