I was dreading going back to work and leaving a piece of my heart with a stranger but from the first meeting, it was clear Sophie is a natural mother. Any worries I had where instantly gone. My daughter has been going to Sophie for over 3 years and I cannot recommend her enough. My daughter looks forward to her days there and doesnt want to come home. Sophie and her family have become an extension of ours and we asked Sophie to be our daughters godmother.
The children do so many activities and we get regular photos and updates throughout the day which we look forward too. Sophie will work with us on any bad behaviours, learning objectives and hitting milestones and we can see She genuinely loves and cares for every child that comes through her door.

My twins spent the best 4 years with Sophie. From just 7 months old until the day they started school; Sophie provided exceptional care for them. She helped with the weaning process, learning to walk, and talk and even toilet training. Sophies was like a home from home. They enjoyed learning, crafts, story time & trips out. Nothing was ever any trouble and I trusted Sophie to care for them and keep them safe. Sophie is kind, caring, friendly & professional and her home is warm, welcoming and very clean. I highly recommend Sophie to anyone looking for a childminder x

I first sent my eldest daughter to Sophie around four years ago, and she absolutely thrived in her care. She learned so much through play and fun activities, including numbers and colours, and loved spending time with Sophie and the other children. She always felt comfortable, happy and at home, and it truly felt like a second home for her.
When I had my second daughter, there was never any doubt that she would also go to Sophie when I returned to work. Now, over 12 months later, my youngest absolutely adores going to Sophie’s!
My youngest has a nut allergy, and I feel completely confident that she is safe and well cared for, both at the setting and when they go out and about. Sophie has also been amazing at supporting my now two-year-old with her speech, helping her develop and giving her extra support wherever needed.
Sophie is such a kind and caring person who genuinely loves what she does. She treats every child with so much love, patience and compassion, and it really shows in the happy relationships she builds with them. She also sends regular updates throughout the day, which is always lovely to receive and gives me real peace of mind.
The children enjoy lots of lovely activities, including walks, trips to the park, toddler groups and so much more. Sophie creates such a warm, fun and nurturing environment where the children can learn, grow and feel safe.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Sophie highly enough to anyone looking for childcare. Having trusted her with both of my girls has been such a positive experience, and I’m so grateful for the care, love and support she gives them. ❤️
