Lucky
My son, was enrolled with Sarah Sotiriou as his childminder as of 04/26. He was one year old then. Sarah's place was clean, well presented & had good outdoor space. She also came across as professional but warm. During our initial conversation, Sarah suggested an introductory week so he would get acclimatised to the setting & this helped put me at ease. Sarah also dealt with our complicated family situation with grace. Since then Sarah's place has become a place of comfort for him. It was clear to me he was safe and well taken care of. To do so with a child a big, strong and energetic is no small feat. However, more so I valued the genuine relationships he developed with the childminders there. I don't think there is anything that could have put me more at ease than seeing how the childminders interacted with him. The relationships & warmth they had for him was clear and obvious. Sarah also made herself available regarding advice, and often went above & beyond what I expected. I felt lucky to have found them, and would recommend them to anyone with kids who is looking for a childminder.
