Average Rating: 5 stars (5 from 19 reviews)

Samantha is a fantastic childminder! My children really loved being looked after by her and had a lot of fun in her setting. They particularly enjoyed the fun activities she arranged after school and looking after the chickens at Samantha’s allotment. My son was 8 months old when he started with her and it was reassuring to see how affectionate and caring she was with him as it made it a lot easier to return to work. He was very happy and thrived in her setting.
Samantha has collected both of my children from school for several years and I found her to be great at communicating any news or issues from their day. Samantha also looked after both children in the holidays and they really enjoyed the day trips she organised to local areas.
Both my son and daughter were very comfortable in her setting and very much thought of her house as a second home. They both miss her lots!
I would wholeheartedly recommend Samantha as a childminder.

Samantha was our 1st childminder to our 1 year old boy. Our son absolutely loved her, and all her assistants, and fit in really well and really quickly to the setting. Samantha sent us pictures throughout the day, showing how much fun he was having and we got a lovely summary of his day/ what he ate/ naps etc. in his diary which we loved coming home to and reading!

He was taken out regularly to parks, play groups
animal centres and soft plays and also had a healthy balance of indoor play and arts and crafts. We loved the imagination that went into the activities that he did. He was really loved and always happy to see Samantha's friendly face in the morning. Samantha made delicious home made food every day which he devoured.

We were really upset to have to move after 6 months as we moved out the area. We would have stayed forever if we could have done! Samantha and her team will be sorely missed, but in the short space of time they looked after our son, we are hugely grateful for the love, affection and time they showed him.

Samantha and her assistants had our Son with them for a year and I can honestly say he had the best time. His development from 1-2 years came on rapidly and we were regularly updated. Being able to visit the allotment was a lovely perk and they were often out for the day on various excursions. Our family were really sad to leave and our son often asks about Samantha, her assistants and the children. Couldn’t recommend Samantha enough, we are very grateful for all she has done for us.

Samantha has been caring for our daughter since she was 13 months old. They have provided a nurturing and thoughtful home-from-home environment that we have always been happy to leave our daughter in while we are at work. Our daughter loves going to feed the chickens at the the allotment, groups and outings to the seaside, parks and local attractions. We've enjoyed getting photographs sent to us showing us what they get up to during the day and Samantha uses a website that documents her experiences as well as monitors her development. More recently, Samantha and her assistant, Jojo have supported our daughter surrounding the birth of our son. They met with us to consider how we could all support her in a caring and consistent way, offering us peace of mind that her emotional needs are being carefully considered. We are very pleased with our decision to send our daughter to Samantha's and our son will be joining her there when I return to work.

Samantha is a loving and warm-hearted childminder who looks after my son Jacob since he was 2.5 years old. Jacob developed an incredible bond with Samantha almost instantly after she started looking after him. She is like Jacob’s own nana who he loves and enjoys spending his days with. As a working mum, it’s so reassuring when I see Jacob runs in her place very happily in the morning. Her location is also very convenient for working parents who need to travel to central London which is an added bonus.

Samantha minded our son since he was 4 years old and for 4 years. She did after school collection and also minded him during the school holidays. We liked her setting and also liked the fact that she took the children to museums, parks, play areas, seasides, Christmas tree farms, etc. where children could explore, learn and have fun during school holidays. We had confidence in her and grateful that we found her. We were happy with her services and the quality of care. My son had a wonderful time whilst in her care. She’s excellent!

As a nervous first time mum, Samantha was amazing for both myself and my daughter who went from 1-2years of age. She developed so much self confidence over the year and responded to the attentive and caring environment provided by Samantha and her assistants. We have since moved out of the area but I would recommend Samantha to anyone looking for an experienced childminder who loves her job and all the children in her care.

Samantha was a great childminder for our son and daughter from the ages of 14 months and 5 years for two years and very much loved and enjoyed by them. Samantha's home is welcoming and well organised with lots of games and activities. We would not hesitate to recommend her.

My son at eight months was left with Samantha four days a week and the set up was like a home from home. She was super attentive and made our son feel special and loved. I enjoyed receiving pictures of his outings and of him developing as he entered new phases in his life. Samantha became a good friend to us and and was like an extension to our family. She was a brilliant childminder and very popular with the kids.
