Where do I even start!
We started using the services of Sally, Collin and Amber when our little boy Oliver turned 9 months old. Now, almost 3 years and another little boy later, we sadly saying goodbye to the family as we are moving to a different place.
Both our boys have being there since young age and they have been loved, cared for, encouraged to learn new things, and supported all through their first years.
The setting set up is brilliant: big outdoor space with a lovely heated cabin in the garden, and plenty indoor areas where the kids can play. They have allotments behind the garden where the children go for walks and are able to explore nature in London in the safest hands.
All the food is homemade and healthy, you will have your little one eating fresh vegetables from the allotment or the delicious Sallys homemade Napolitana sauce.
During these hard pandemic years both, Sally and Collin, have being extremely helpful, fair and accommodating to our family situation and their support is being key. They work with the parents for the best of the children.
Last but no less, they love their job, and they truly care about the children, so I always felt as my kids were in the safest hands.
My kids have thrived, enjoyed, and learned in the best setting with the best family, from home to home. And both my partner and I, feel truly lucky to have found them.
The only downside is I cannot take them all with me when I move, because my children and us are going to truly miss them.

Sally, Colin and Amber looked after our two children over 4 years. Their setting is brilliant- huge garden with big outdoor cabin (with heating & electricity) full of toys. Sally is really creative and loves doing projects with the kids. They also have an allotment plot so on sunny days the kids go and pick fruit, veg and wildflowers and learn about everything. All food prepared is organic and they take so much care to give the little ones the best experience possible. Sally and Colin became extended members of our family and we couldn’t recommend this magical childcare setting highly enough.

Sally, Colin and Amber cared for our two sons, aged 2.5 and 4.5 for two years. We were really happy with the care they provided, we found them to be fun, happy, caring, creative - with a big focus on the outdoors and healthy living which the boys really benefited from. We have also used Amber as a babysitter and she is brilliant. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sally and Colin
to anyone who is looking for an honest, caring, engaging and creative setting for their children.

Sally, Colin and Amber provided excellent care to my son. They are kind, compassionate and fair to the children and offer an array of fun activities in a happy and warm environment. It's a home away from home. I highly reccomend!

Both of my children went to Sally and Colin’s house - our youngest from age 1 and eldest had wraparound before and after school. Both settled really well and were consistently happy with Sally, Colin and Amber, enjoying the arts and other activities and time outside. Recommended!

Sally and Colin cared for my son from.tue age of 9 months to 11. I can honestly say they are the most wonderful childminders and went above and beyond for my son. He has so many fond memories with them and absolutely loved going there which made it easier for me working knowing he was happy.
He spent lots of time outdoors in the allotments with them and he even grew a pumpkin. He went on lots of walk to the country park and brought home so much amazing art work for me to place on the wall with pride. As my son grew older Sally and Colin made sure the activities grew with him. He still talks about his time with them and misses them and regularly asks if we can visit. My son made great friendships which he has continued since going off to secondary school. Thank you Sally and Colin you were a huge support to me and little man xxxxxx

Sally, Colin and Amber provide a warm family setting where both our daughters love going: a true family environment where they feel safe and happy. Not only are they fun and provide endlessly engaging play and learning for the kids, they also encourage discipline and they model good brehaviour. We view our childminders as being our childrens' parents when we are not there, and we have absolute faith that Sally, Colin and Amber are the bset we could have dreamt of. We've now had a total of 9 years with our kids going here and have had nothing but praise! Sally also really helped make the vouchers and free hours work so smoothly, doing all of the admin and setup from her side, which was amazing.

The care provided by Colin, Sally and Amber is second to none.
They are a lovely family who offer a home from home for the children they look after.
They have been looking after our 2 boys for over 10 years now and from their first day they have been happy and settled.
I am happy to leave my kids with them, safe in the knowledge that they are happy, having fun and very well looked after.
