I would like to thank Sally, Michael and Sophie enormously for the love and care they've given to my son.
The moment I drop him off he doesn’t even look back to say goodbye as he is always settled and happy to stay with them
Sally has a great selection of toys including educational ones, the children get outside in the huge garden on a daily basis and sometimes to the park and zoo.
I am really pleased with the relationship you have formed with him and I feel that he is making great developmental progress.
Me and my husband have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone that asks.
Thank you

My daughter adores going to Sally's. The whole team - Sally, Michael, Sophie have such a warmth about them. Excellent facilities - I often wish I spent the day there myself! My daughter has been going since she was 9 months and has literally flourished, becoming confident and happy in herself.
Couldn't recommend highly enough.

We were sadly let down by the first place we had secured, and we are so glad, because we then found Sally’s.
My daughter has loved going to Sally’s since the day she first started, she always has a smile on her face when she sees Sally at the door in the morning.
The facilities, equipment and toys provided at Sally’s are amazing. They have done such a brilliant job of creating a fun, safe and educational environment for the children. It was by far one of the best set ups we viewed when looking for childcare. I know that whenever I leave my daughter for the day, she is going to have a great time. Whether that be at the house, or on one of the lovely outings Sally organises.
I always look forward to seeing the daily photos she sends of my daughter and her friends having the best time.
If you are looking for a childminder I’d highly recommend Sally’s :)

Sally, Michael and Sophie are absolutely fantastic.
Needed to send my 10mo to child care 2 days a week as I started back at work and we have been so happy with their care. I was very nervous about leaving him for a full day but Sally made me feel so at ease and ticked all the boxes for me. Having a few taster ‘days’ helped settle him in.We have increased to 3 days a week now and our little man is loving his time there. Sally is great with her communication and there is nothing better than getting my daily update on what he has been doing. He has grown so much in his short time with Sally,Michael and Sophie. His confidence has increased and he is absolutely blossoming. I am so looking forward to watching him grow and develop as we continue his journey with them. I can’t thank Sally,Michael and Sophie enough.

Thank you,
He has settled so well and just loves to be with the other children.

We are so happy that we have Sally, Michael and Sophie looking after our little boy. He’s 16months old and is a lockdown baby so we haven’t left him with anyone before. He’s settled quickly with Sally and we love the photo updates we get during the day showing us what he is up to! The home is amazing with so much packed in for the kids to do, it’s more like a nursery in a much more personal setting. The outings they are taken on are brilliant, the zoo, parks, boat rides to name a few! And he definitely never comes home hungry 😊
If anyone is looking for a childminder within a great setting Sally is definitely for you.
Thank you Sally!

Thank you,
He is doing so well getting to know the other children
and learning so much.

We are so glad we found Sally and her family.
After having an unpleasant experience with a big nursery, sending Lizzi to Sally has been a blessing.
Lizzi learned to cough and sneeze with her hand on her mouth.
Her speech has massively improved and she comes home happy and clean!
We can’t recommend Sally and her family enough!

Thank you,
Lizzi is doing great and learning so much.

So grateful to have found Sally and her family run childminder care for my two babies (1 year).

It was the first time I have left the two of them (lockdown babies) in the care of someone else and I was dreading the settling in period but Sally was so helpful, knowledgeable and honest during this time so that we all managed it pretty well!

Sally sends photos and updates around lunchtime to let me know how they are getting on and responds to messages quickly and honestly.

The house set up is a dream for little ones with lots of clean and fun toys and areas for them to explore indoor and out :)

We feel very lucky to have found Sally to look after our babies.

Thank you,
The girls have surprised us by how quickly they have settled in.
They keep us on our toes :)

I was really apprehensive sending my baby to childcare at such a young age (5months old), but once I found Sally I was ready to jump back into work knowing my baby was in a safe, caring and fun environment.
Sally, Sophie and Michael have treated Ayda like one of their own children, not only do they look after her they care about her development and her overall well being.
Our experience so far has been a really positive one.
I would recommend Sally to anyone who is looking for their child to have a ‘home from home’ experience.

Thank you,
She is such a joy to look after.

There are childminders and there are Super childminders and Sally and Michael definitely are the latter. Their entire house is transformed into a mini nursery which in fact has more facilities/toys than nurseries themselves (our older sons nursery didnt have even half as much stuff). Our 16 month old son has been going there since he turned one and he settled very quickly. He loves playing with all the toys. soft play etc and he is looked after really well.
Sally caters to all dietary needs and that was especially comforting for us as our son does have allergies/reflux to deal with. Being one of 8-9 kids is also great vs the much bigger numbers at nurseries.
We were looking to get a nanny to get personal attention but are actually so happy we chanced upon Sally's and wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Thank you,
He is growing with confidence every day.

Sally looks after both my children - my 4 year old daughter and 20 month old son. She picks up and drops off my eldest at school.

From the moment we met her, Micheal, Sophie and the rest of the family, we have been put at ease.

Sally has a kind, trustworthy, professional manner. She really is fantastic!

Our children really enjoy their time at Sally’s. They especially enjoy playing with the incredible array of toys and soft play, Sally has at the back of her home. She has turned her home into an oasis of play and sun for young kids.

Sally really cares about the children’s well-being too. She (pre-Covid) took the kids out regularly for planned activities and for outdoor play; gives the kids a hot, filling and healthy meal everyday, and keeps us up to date throughout with what the children are doing or if there are any updates.

Sally has been so thoughtful in acknowledging special days like birthdays and holidays for us (my daughter just turned 4 and got a cake, candle, card and present).

Sally has also been flexible and able to accommodate my eldest for days during school holidays and unexpectedly after I had a bad accident and surgery and was unable walk.

I visited more than 10 local childcare settings before finding Sally. We had just moved to Kingston and had come from another great childminder. I was looking for a loving, home away from home setting and Sally fit the bill. Sally’s ability to interact and care for children has greatly impressed me and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to any family seeking childcare.
