Sandrine was the first childminder my son, now 6, had at 13 months old, after my maternity leave ended. At the time, socialisation had been minimal for him due to COVID, and he was very timid outside of family members. Sandrine's home from home really brought him out of his shell and gave him the secure, welcoming environment he needed to feel safe playing, learning, and having fun with people outside our family. It quickly became clear to me that Sandrine believes discipline means teaching, and she gave my little one so many learning opportunities during our 2 years with her. If I could have taken her with us when we moved, I would have; it was so hard leaving her support. As a solo parent, I could rely on her to make sure the little one had everything he needed to thrive while I was away. Her kindness and support were invaluable. We love Sandrine so much that we visit whenever our schedules permit; that is the positive impact she's had on us. Thank you so much, Sandrine; you are a true gem of a person.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Sandrine. She looked after Ollie from nine months old until he was nearly four, and throughout that time she provided so much more than childcare.
We had not felt fully comfortable with the nurseries we visited, but Sandrine offered exactly what we had been hoping for: a genuine home away from home. Her setting was always warm, safe, welcoming and full of care, giving Ollie the perfect environment in which he developed and thrived.
Sandrine became a much-loved part of Ollie’s extended family. She understood him, encouraged him and cared for him with such kindness and affection. Knowing how happy and secure he was with her gave us complete peace of mind.
We cannot thank Sandrine enough for the wonderful start she gave Ollie and would recommend her without hesitation!
