Sam has been looking after my son, Hunter, since July 2012, he was only a few months old when he stared there so for me I had to be 100% sure he would be safe and happy. Sam has made him so welcome since that first day, it goes without saying that her house is clean and tidy but she is so much more than that. She keeps us up to date everyday with his contact diary (which his dad loves as he often doesn't get to see or son before he goes to bed, it's a little insight into his day), his days are filled with fun & learning in a lovely family environment. Sam keeps a check on his development and charts his progress, and includes him in everything the other children do. Her ability to adapt activities to include all the children regardless of age or ability is fantastic. As a first time mum her advice and guidance to me has also been a rock, her connection to the children she looks after is heart warming. I would absolutely recommend Sam to anyone looking for a childminder in this area, I can't say enough how much Hunter loves her and her family, his health and happiness is my priority and I know Sam looks after him just as I do. She is amazing!
