An inviting and stimulating environment promotes children's enjoyment and self-motivation in this childcare setting. The childminder effectively supports learning, helping children develop strong mathematical skills and understanding. Safeguarding arrangements are robust, ensuring children's safety. While the setting provides a positive learning experience, there is room for improvement in allowing children more time for independent problem-solving and incorporating their home languages and cultures into activities.

5 stars

I can’t thank Salomi enough for the incredible care she has given Scarlett. We started in may 25 and have never looked back. In such a short time, Scarlett has come on amazingly — her confidence, her routine, and even the little things she’s learning each day have truly blown me away.

Salomi’s patience, encouragement, and genuine love for what she does shine through in everything. It’s so clear that she cares deeply about Scarlett’s growth and wellbeing, and I appreciate every bit of effort she puts in.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who goes above and beyond. Thank you, Salomi, for everything you’re doing — it means the world.

Excellent childminder :)

5 stars

Salomi looked after my 2.5 year old son for just under a year and the progress he’s made since being with her is fantastic. He was a very shy boy but has really come out of his shell and his communication and confidence has improved massively. He also refused to walk and insisted on being in the buggy everywhere we went and she encouraged him to walk by taking him out and about to the park with the other children and now he’s happy walking everywhere we go which has helped us so much and made his legs much stronger than they were. She has also been very flexible at having my son for different or extra times if needed. I will be sad to be leaving her in a couple months time when he moves on to nursery

Incredible care and Nurturing

5 stars

We cannot thank Salomi enough for the incredible care and attention she has given to our daughter. When Niamh first started, she was very shy and deeply attached to her mother, but thanks to Salomi’s nurturing approach, she has blossomed into a confident and sociable little girl. Salomi’s warm and patient manner has worked wonders in helping Niamh come out of her shell, and we are amazed at how far she has come. We feel so fortunate to have found Salomi, and we are deeply grateful for the positive impact she’s had on Niamh’s development.

Thank you, Salomi, for everything you do!

A job well done

5 stars

We started with Sal at 10 months and appreciate the comfortable and clean enviornment.
My son enjoys his time with Sal and the other children, as well as the trips to the park and the library.
Sal is very caring and sends lovely pictures of the days activities.
She also gives helpful recommendations to help my son get more comfortable and we appreciate that.

Professional and caring

5 stars

Salomi is absolutely great! My son spends most of his day with Sal and he has shown so much improvement in his social and motor skills and he has become independent with a lot of things he would usually expect me to do for him. I can go to work feeling secure because I know my son is happy and safe.

Loving, caring and passionate

5 stars

Once I met Salomi for a tour, I knew that “she is the one for us” as being stressed about early return to work, Salomi provided so much information and reassurance, kindly answered all my questions and etc. that I’ve concluded Anna will be in the right place.

We started childcare since Anna was 9mth old, Salomi’s individual approach is especially remarkable her recommendations are very practical, handy and useful as we went through crawling/walking/teething all together.

Anna absolutely loves going and always goes in with a massive smile on her face. For myself as a working parent, knowing that she is happy and being really well cared for is such a fantastic support.

Thank you so much for your kind words.

I recommend her from the bottom of my heart

5 stars

My daughter, Maisie, is 3 years and half old, and absolutely love Salomi. What a good feeling to know that she is looked after and loved. Why? Because she can't wait to go to hers. Yesterday she been drawing her, also she goes to sleep saying goodnight to her and her friends that goes there. (Without asking or questioning)
Salomi she is such a lovely, smart, and caring person.
Always makes time to talk about my little one day and also send me pictures that literally melts my heart.
Maisie looks to be busy there with coloring, going to the parks, playing games that's helping her development.
Thinking now that one day, Maisie will be big enough and she will go to school and she may not attend to Salomi..Salomi will be forever part of our life!
I can't thank her enough!

Thank you for a such a lovely review

Professional and caring

5 stars

Sal is professional in her approach and is very conscious about hygiene. My daughter really enjoys the time she spends with Sal and has made friends with the other children. She is always happy to go there. It is great that Sal's kids engage with the little ones and my daughter has formed relationships with them.
There are always lots of activities to do and Sal makes sure to keep you informed of what they have done and sends pictures. I find that really helpful and reassuring, particularly in the early days when my daughter first started and was settling in.

This is a good place to be in and I am glad we chose it.

Sal is an excellent childminder. She had helped my daughter adapt to her setting as quickly as she could; she has also helped her progress in so many ways.

Salomi provides highly professional service for our daughter. She is loving, friendly and passionate about her job and improvements our daughter has made during past few months are incredible. If you’re looking for something more than “just a playtime” for your children, definitely choose Salomi’s care. 10/10!
