Incredible childminder

As a parent that suffers with anxiety, I really needed to feel comfortable with the childminder I had chosen. I couldn't be happier. Sam is fantastic with my little boy. She is also fantastic with me, nothing is too much trouble for Sam, she is reliable, trustworthy and does alot for the local community and charities.

She gives so much of herself, her time and love to the children in her care. Samuel my son asks for 'childminder Sam' all the time now, he can't wait to get there and play.

I was initially worried that my child's health problems would put a childminder off, I shouldn't have been because Sam has taken it all in her stride. Like I said nothing is too much trouble for her.

Sam has a book for my son Samuel and she writes in it everyday what he has done, eaten, when he was changed etc. This way I don't feel like I'm missing out on his day. I feel involved and I love that.

My son Samuel has changed so much since starting with Sam. He is socialising well, his speech has come along and he's started to eat different foods. I am genuinely grateful that she is preparing my son for School.

Our first experience using any childcare

I found Sam on here, after visiting a few different childminders in the area we decided to go with Sam because our little girl instantly took a liking to Sam. My daughter is 2.5 years old and has never been away from me or my husband as we have always managed the childcare between us. We now have another baby on the way and our little girl will be due to start nursery next year so we thought it was time for her to start having some playtime with other children. Our little girl settled in to Sams house very quickly and has grown to trust Sam very quickly. Sam shows our little girl care and love when we are not there and comforts her if she is having a little wobble about being away from us. She always bounces out at the end of the day with endless tales of what her and the other children have been up to during the day. Sam also provides us with a summary at the end of each session to let us know how she has got on. I am very happy that we found Sam and I hope for our little girl to keep being with Sam until she joins full time school/ nursery. Hopefully even start our next child with her when the time comes. Thank you Sam you have really helped our little girl (and mummy) cope with this new part of life.

Would definitely recommend

Our daughter Mia loves going to Sams. She has come on lots since starting there. Sam is very loving towards Mia and I know she is excellent hands. She is very flexible and always accommodates our needs even my shift work isn't a problem. I always feel like I know what Mia is doing as Sam is great at sending pictures and messages throughout the day.
