One in a million

Sally looks after our 18 month old boy and has done since he was around 8 months. I cannot say enough about how absolutely amazing Sally is. I’d never really considered a childminder before (with nursery being the obvious option) but as soon as we met Sally, we absolutely knew that she was the one we wanted to take care of our little boy.

Sally is the most wonderful human and like a second mum to our boy. He shouts ‘Sally!’ everywhere we go, or ‘Mabel’ the beautiful dog! We get a fantastic update and pictures every single day, I look forward to hearing about his day!

Knowing that our son is with Sally makes leaving him every day so much easier. It’s a home from home for him and I trust Sally more than any other adult in his life (myself and my partner aside!) He loves going to her house each morning and walks in confidently to Sally and his friends.

Each day Sally will fill his day with fun. From play groups, to days in the woods and days in the park, I know that each day will be wholesome for him. At 18 months old, our son is progressing so well and I know that is down to Sally.

Sally gives an honest account of what his day has been like, including the tantrums and will always endeavour to teach him right from wrong. I could go on forever here, but I appreciate everything Sally does including keeping him a little later where she can when we need to be at work.

I would recommend that all parents check out a range of childminders as we did, but I’m sure Sally will be the one you come back to.

We couldn’t love you more Sally, thank you!

Thank you Nicola for your lovely review. It really does mean the world to me. It’s great having such supportive parents and that we really do work in partnership. Olly is a fabulous little boy and I enjoy looking after him. He makes me laugh every day! Xx
