Thank you for all you do for both my children. From recognising the signs that my daughter was ready to be potty trained at age 2 to supporting us with handling my son’s ‘outbursts’.
The regular photographs and updates you provide us via WhatsApp are incredibly helpful as it enables us to encourage a dinner time conversation with the children on what they did during the day. It also gives us peace of mind as we know exactly what the kids have been upto that day.
My daughter is looking forward to starting school in September and all the work you have done in getting her ready for that has been amazing. Under your care she has learnt to dress herself, handle the toilet alone, try different food alongside being confident with reading and writing her own name.Her love of numbers and counting was definitely something she picked up with you as I had done nothing at home to encourage it until she declared her desire to learn to count to 100!
My son has also come along so much since he turned 2 and could join your setting. Although he still has little outbursts he is now able to communicate what is wrong which really helps us when trying to settle him.
Both kids have made some great friends at your setting as well and all the children have been so caring towards the little ones like son.
I always thought you both were amazing but this was really solidified for me when I had no choice but to send my son to a different setting until he turned 2. The difference in experience he had compared to my daughter’s first year with you is so stark which is why I would recommend you whole heartedly to anyone that is looking for caring childminders who really help nurture children.
my only recommendation would be for you to please open on a Friday as well so that my son can be with you 5 days a week and can stop using a different setting on Friday :)

Thank you so much for this. It has been a pleasure working with you and your children.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Sandy and Bobby when we did. For the past three years, they have been a constant source of love, support, and guidance not only for our son, but for us as a family too.
Watching our son grow under their care has truly been a joy, he has thrived in every way and it's clear that so much of that is thanks to the nurturing, stimulating, and genuinely caring environment they've created. It honestly brings a tear to my eye thinking about how far he’s come with their help.
Sandy and Bobby have gone above and beyond time and again. Their warmth, patience, and understanding have meant the world to us, and their dedication to our son's wellbeing and development has been unwavering. It’s rare to find people who care for your child as if they were their own, but that’s exactly what they’ve done.
We will always be grateful for everything they’ve done for our son and for us. Thank you, Sandy and Bobby — you are truly one of a kind.
Our son (and us!) will miss you a lot!

Thank you so much for this kind review. It has been a pleasure working with you, your family and your son. We are going to miss him when he goes to school, but he’s ready to fly now and we can’t wait to hear how he gets on.
