Sophie is absolutely amazing the best child minder in my opinion and I couldn’t ask for better. Sophie has been my daughters child minder since she turned 12 months old and as a first time parent I felt a whole wind of emotions but from the moment I met Sophie she has been so incredible at putting me at ease. My daughter is excelling in her development, her speech is phenomenal and her confidence is growing each day and in my opinion couldn’t be anymore confident but she shows improvements in so much every single week. My daughter gets so excited every morning when we knock on Sophie’s door and that couldn’t make me feel any more happier. Every day my daughter is with Sophie, Sophie has all the activities ready including their meal plans and has a plan of action of day trips out too. How Sophie does it all amazes me every day. Hard work needs to be recognized and I’m so grateful to have the most perfect child minder in my eyes. Thank you for everything you do Sophie, we appreciate you so much in everything you do for us parents and our children. Your amazing.

A world of wonder and exploration for our 2.5-year-old daughter. Filled with creative activities, engaging day trips, and thoughtful care, Sophie creates a magical learning environment while maintaining a home away from home feel. With regular updates and open communication, we're always a part of our daughter's day. Our little one sees Sophie as an extended member of the family, always excited to see her and the other children each week. We've seen tremendous growth in our daughters confidence and social skills thanks to Sophie's nurturing approach. We trust Sophie completely and feel incredibly fortunate to have her.

We have had the pleasure of having Sophie as a full time childminder for our 2.5yr old son for 9 months. Sophie makes every day entertaining with such a variety of well thought out activities and day trips. We feel well informed on his day with our updates in person and on the app. Our son has grown in confidence and social skills whilst in Sophie’s care
We have complete trust in her abilities, she is always happy to help and we feel incredibly lucky to have found Sophie!
Highly recommend
