Sam has been looking after both my son’s full time since they were around a year old. Since they started I could see them adjusting to her setting with ease and playing well with the other children. She always warmly welcomes the boys into her home, they often try to run straight to the playroom without saying goodbye, it’s like they are extended family! It is quite literallly a home from home setting. My son’s have really taken to Sam, she has been there every step of the way to support their development, and they have come on leaps and bounds since starting. I would be lost without her. Sam is an absolutely fantastic childminder, I would have no doubts in recommending her. Anybody who uses her setting should consider themselves lucky.
