Sophie took care of our daughter for nearly 2 years and during that time, our daughter blossomed from a baby who could barely crawl to a kind, caring, joyful toddler. Sophie's home setting was always welcoming and her own children were a huge part of that. Sophie has a small network of other childminders so there was always other children to play with as well as her own, making it a very busy and social household. Sophie would take our daughter out on the most wonderful day trips that are too numerous to mention, but for example a trip to the 'pumpkin patch' at Halloween time and strawberry picking in the summer and even a lavender field. There was always fun to be had. And joy for us as parents too, as around lunchtime, Sophie would send us photos of the day so far- this was my second favourite part of the day. My favourite part of the day would be getting home after pick up with my daughter and reading all about what she'd been up to. Sophie documented with photos and diary entries, our daughter's time and it was just magical to have that at the end of each day and now, as a wonderful momento of our time with Sophie. I absolutely recommend Sophie as a Childminder and I strongly advise you get 'in there' quick.
ps. One of the many activities Sophie does with the kids is baking... yes, you even get cookies.
