Sonia Ford's Reviews

Wonderful service

Sonia has provided an exceptional service for my son since he has started with her. She takes him out to many groups helping him get used to a social setting and his speech has come on leaps and bounds. she has really helped him to come out of his shell as I’ve picked up on him wanting to play with others as opposed to playing by himself. I couldn’t ask for a better service.

Thank you so much! He’s settled so well and doing amazing! 🤩 x

Thankyou Sonia

Sonia is a lovely friendly lady and provides a relaxed home from home setting where the children can enjoy playing with a great variety of toys and each other. Thomas loved her pet cats and toy trains, and playing outside in the summer. He was very well looked after and I enjoyed seeing photos of what he had been up to. Sonia takes some lovely photos and he brought home some lovely arts and crafts projects as well. Thankyou so much Sonia!

A brilliant choice for a childminder!!

I couldn’t be happier with my choice of Sonia as my daughters childminder! Being the first in my friendship group to have a baby made it more difficult for me to choose a childminder as I had minimal recommendations to help me!
After the first time I met Sonia I knew she would be a great fit for my little girl. Sonia is extremely welcoming and provides a very lovely home from home setting which definitely put my daughter at ease.
My little girl has been with Sonia, 1 day a week, for close to 18 months and has enjoyed every visit! From crafts to visits to Catton Park, it has been lovely to always hear of the days she enjoys with her friends and of course the cats!! Sonia is extremely easy to get along with and is always very response to any messages/queries you may have.
We are very sad to be moving on but I would not hesitate to recommend Sonia to my friends! X

Thank you Sonia!

Leo loves going to Sonias twice a week, he constantly talks about her and his companions. They regularly go to Catton Park and do lots of arts and crafts, the Christmas gifts sent home are guaranteed to make you cry (in a good way!). We get lots of lovely photos, and it's brilliant to see how happy he is with her. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and experienced childminder in the area.

Aww thank you so much! That was a lovely surprise to hear from you and for your kind review!
They are growing up too fast! I hope you and your family are well! Congratulations on another addition to the family?!! Xxx

Happy Bella, Happy Mum

Thank you for your kindness, love and care to Bella and for providing a very conducive environment for her to play in.
It's a shame we have to move away. You have set a benchmark to what we should expect to find in a childminder and I hope I can find someone as good in Loughborough. Thanks again, lots of luv - Peter & Linda.

Amazing childminder

Sonia is a brilliant childminder, shes been looking after my little girl one day a week for the past 6 months.
My little girl finds it difficult leaving us but Sonia has worked really hard on helping her to settling in and now she cheers when she sees where she is and is very happy there. Would 100% recommend Sonia and have recommended her to friends, one of whom has her little girl with Sonia too now.

Excellent childminder for all ages

My son has been with Sonia for just over a year and he loves it, the seasonal crafts that he brings home are brilliantly made and you can tell he's had fun making them all. Sonia also looks after his older sister after school and she enjoys helping sonia with the little ones, highly recommend her.

Top Childminder!

Our 16 month old twin boys have been going to Sonia once a week for over 7 months now and they have a great time. They love the toddler group they go to each week & all the different toys they get to play with!
Sonia keeps a daily diary for each of them and always updates it so we can see exactly what they have been up to and sends photos of things they are doing which is lovely. The crafts and things they have made for Mothers Day & holidays have been brilliant!
She has been flexible with us when we have needed it and has taken them for extra days which we have been very grateful for.
They now walk in like they live there when we arrive which is great to see!
We would definitely recommend Sonia!

Excellent - Our boys love her!

Sonia cares for our two boys two full days a week. The eldest is 2 1/2 yrs and he talks about her all the time. He really enjoys going to his childcare and in particular he likes the wide array of dinosaurs, the play groups they attend and the various crafts and activities she does with them. Our youngest (1 yr) goes with the flow but particularly enjoys being in a small group with the other children. I would highly recommend Sonia.
