When our son first started with Sam, he was just a baby at 1 year old, and as he now gets ready to leave for nursery, we can honestly say that choosing her was one of the best decisions we have ever made. She has provided so much more than childcare – she has given him a second home.
From the very beginning, she welcomed him into her family and cared for him with genuine love, patience and kindness. Every day we left him with complete confidence, knowing he was safe, happy and being looked after by someone who truly cared about him. The bond they have built is something we will always treasure.
The positive influence she has had on his development has been incredible. She has helped shape him into the polite, respectful and confident little boy he is today. His manners are wonderful, he understands boundaries and respect, and he has learned so many valuable life skills during his time with her. We often smile when people comment on how well-behaved he is – and much of that is thanks to the guidance and consistency she has provided. In fact, he never opens cupboards or touches things that don't belong to him, which says so much about the respect and understanding she has helped instil in him.
What has always stood out most is the genuine love and care she shows every child. Our son has never been treated as just another child in her care; he has been treated like one of the family.
Even our son's grandparents have been hugely impressed by her. They have often commented on how wonderful she is and how lucky we are to have found someone so caring, professional and dedicated. Their approval means a great deal to us, and they have seen first-hand the positive impact she has had on our son.
As we prepare to say goodbye and watch him start nursery, we do so with mixed emotions. We are excited for his next adventure, but sad to be leaving someone who has played such an important role in his early years. We will always be thankful for the love, care, guidance and support she has given him.
We cannot recommend Sam highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have their child cared for by her. She has helped give our son the very best start in life, and for that we will always be grateful.
If we ever had another child they would be going to Sam's.
Thank you Sam,
Phil
