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

Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🏽 it was my pleasure to look after him.
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!

Thank you so much 🙏🏽
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.
