My Summary
About Me
Hello! I’m Sophie and I offer a safe, happy, nurturing and fun home-from-home.
I treat all children in my care as if they were my own, giving cuddles when they’re needed and providing a secure and loving environment to enable them to grow into kind and confident individuals. Our fully equipped garden is the base for various activities, such as water play, planting and growing seeds, climbing and role play - and the local nature reserve, together with a number of parks, are right on the doorstep too!
My Experience
As a mum of two energetic girls, I not only have first-hand experience looking after children, but I've also been on the 'parent' side of a childcare service. I understand how nerve-racking it can be for you to trust your child with another person and how important it is for you to find the right fit for your family. I not only provide a safe and nurturing space for your child to grow, but also ensure I build a great relationship with you, as a parent, and have open two-way communication to make sure everyone is happy.

My son is not an easy, go to anyone kind of child - yet Sophie has nurtured him and cared for him in a way that surpassed my wildest wishes. She has given him skills I couldn't and taught him things that I wouldn't know how to begin with. He is a bright, happy and confident boy who has utterly flourished under her care and guidance. I use Sophie as an example to encourage others to look for childminders when nursery doesn't work for their child - she is the best childminder. There is structure, fun and real individual attention given to each child and the level of detail and love put into the every day, is just fantastic.

Sophie is an AMAZING childminder and I don’t say that lightly! We came to sophie after our last childminder had a change of career and we were not disappointed. Theo has grown to adore sophie and her children. He always misses going to sophie whenever there’s been a holiday break. My son is VERY active and needs to be kept busy constantly. Sophie takes the kids out every day and is always planning fun activities for them. The best thing about our experience with Sophie, is how updated we are kept throughout. Every evening we collect Theo, we are sent a detailed summary of what Theo ate, when he slept, what he did etc. followed by pictures. This is done every day without fail. We found this a far superior experience to other child minders and nursery. She is honestly great at what she does. Would recommend sophie to anybody.

As a first time mum, I understand the nervousness when approaching the time when childcare needs to be considered but Sophie provides nothing but warmth and reassurance. My son quite honestly adores her! She's fun, nurturing and completely dedicated to the happiness and wellbeing of the children around her as well as being a wonderful person the parents love to be around!
A win win!
