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!

Sandrine has been the childminder for our daughter since January 2026. Our experience with Sandrine has been exceptional and I could not recommend her enough. From the start Lyla was very happy at Sandrine's home nursery. Sandrine feeds her home cooked food everyday, ensures that she has outdoor play everyday and has a wonderful set up in her home for the kids (lots of toys and even a rabbit - which Lyla loves). Sandrine has supported us through various transitions including potty training, leaning to use cutlery and the traumatic times of teething. My husband works abroad a lot and I am alone with Lyla. Sandrine goes above and beyond to look after Lyla which has made my life so much easier.she genuinely cares for the children and will do everything she can to support the families she works for. 100% recommendation from us!

Sandrine has looked after our son, now two years old, for four days a week since last October. We are extremely pleased with everything she does. She made my return to work so much easier. Sandrine is very well organised in her approach, thoughtful and adventurous in the activities she provides, and warm, caring and humorous in her manner with children. Her home provides a safe, welcoming but stimulating place to play and learn, and meals are varied, healthy and appetising. Sandrine always takes opportunities for the children to go out and explore, especially in natural settings. Our son is always excited to spend the day with Sandrine and we feel very lucky to have found her. He loves waving us off, so he can spend the day with her and his friend. We noticed that Sandrine doesn't take on the maximum number of kids allowed under the law - (we are not judging others who do) but this does mean that our son gets enough attention and stimulation from her.
