Warm, caring and kind - The best childminders!

We couldn't recommend Sally highly enough, and we feel so lucky to have found her, Michael and Sophie to look after our daughter.

Our daughter, Millie, joined just after turning one. We had been apprehensive about leaving her with someone else as she was going through a timid phase, but from our first visit we knew we had found the perfect place that was far more appropriate for her than a bigger nursery. We were amazed at the extent to which Sally has transformed her home into such a great place for young children, and her warm, caring nature instantly put to rest any nervousness we had about handing over the care of our daughter. The fact that it is a family run operation with her partner and daughter working alongside her only reinforced it further.

We love hearing what Millie has been up to each day, and the children are always out and about with walks to different parks and playgrounds, and the photos we're sent are a highlight of our evenings. The recent heatwaves really showed how much Sally cares about the children’s wellbeing and she so thoughtfully planned the days and home environment to ensure the children were not only safe but still able to have a great time.

In the three months that Millie has been at Sally’s she has become so much more confident and this is down to the warm, kind nurturing environment created by Sally, Michael and Sophie. They've really made her feel at home in their care and she's developed and grown so much in the last few months - Millie’s been so happy and so have we.

Thank you Sally, Michael and Sophie!
