Fantastic childminder

We honestly couldn’t recommend Silvia more highly. She has been looking after our son Albie for the past three years, since he was just seven months old, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had (and still have) her as such an important part of his early years.

Putting him in childcare so young meant that we were looking for a home from home environment whilst also giving him some socialisation and we have found Silvia to be the perfect middle ground between nursery and a nanny. We have been lucky that the whole time Albie has been there, Silvia has also been looking after another girl the same age and it’s been lovely seeing them grow up together.

There is no doubt to us that Albie has thrived in Silvia’s care. She has developed such a wonderful, genuine relationship with him, and it’s been amazing to see how much he has grown and developed during his time with her.

We really appreciate the mix of activities that Silvia does with Albie including going to playgroups, puppet shows, play dates and outdoor activities. We love receiving picture updates each day (as well as a photo book at the end of each “term”) so we can see what he’s been getting up to. We’ve also found it really helpful that Silvia is able to give him breakfast, lunch and dinner (she even helped with the weaning process in the early stages) and meals are always healthy and nutritious.

We are so grateful for everything Silvia has done for Albie over the last three years and we genuinely couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
