Samantha goes above and beyond in providing a fantastic setting which my son adores. We have been welcomed in by Samantha's whole family and my son is now firm friends with her's. Each day is really well planned with a mix of outings, crafts and free play. My son can't believe his luck at the things they get up to. He looks forward to going and asks me if he can go there even on the days he is not meant to! I really appreciate the little touches like how he has his own personalised water bottle when he is there and activities catered to his interests. I have peace of mind seeing exactly what he is up to via Tapestry, even down to details like when he went to the loo and exactly what he has eaten throughout the day along with lots of photos. He is so busy playing at pick up time that I have to persuade him to come with me and he chats away about what he has been doing. He is always fulfilled but never to the point of tiredness, Samantha is good at getting the balance right with stimulating and quiet activities. As a parent I really appreciate getting a happy and not overtired boy back at the end of the day! I hope this helps anyone considering a home from home childminder that you can trust. I cannot recommend Samantha highly enough.
