Outstanding childminder

As a first time mum I was incredibly anxious about leaving my son and had previously tried a local nursery which I wasn’t happy with.

From the moment I met Sonia and visited her beautiful house I knew this was the type of environment I wanted my son to spend his days at. I love the home away from home environment and my son has thrived being under Sonia’s care. More language! More confidence! Happier overall!

Sonia is extremely knowledgable within the Early years and child care sector. She personalises all learning to each child.

Sonia will do all the things you may be nervous to do with your child - trips every week. Dylan has visited the zoo, nature reserves, museums and so much more! I much prefer this to him being stuck in one room every day in a nursery.

With Sonia you get the best of both a childminder and a nursery as she spends some time meeting with other childminders in the local area and creating a nursery style morning in a church hall and other times they’re out on trips and learning in other various ways.

I could go on FOREVER about how amazing she is and what she has done for my son in such a short amount of time we have known her.
