We are so happy we chose Sonata as our childminder. She is kind, reliable, patient, and very caring towards the children. With a picky eater, I was concerned at first, but I needn't have worried; she always goes the extra mile to make sure my son eats something.
Sports days are a favourite, and it is lovely to see the smiling faces enjoying the outdoors as much as possible.
Riley has really settled in, and we love the visits to the park, local library, and the fields. I have no hesitation in recommending Sonata to anyone looking for a childminder.

My little boy absolutely loves attending, he is so well looked after and always does such fun & different activities. Sonata and her family are so kind and genuinely care about all the children. Sonata is great with communication and it is so nice to get updates throughout the day including what he has eaten.
My daughter no longer attends as she is at school & she misses it so much!
