Samantha Couper's Reviews

Simply the best!!

I literally cannot thank Samantha and Chloe enough for all that they have done for us. Beau loved his time with them which showed everyday when he'd kiss me, wave goodbye and walk off in the door, not even looking back, when he was the most clingy, mummy's boy there was to begin with!
Beau blossomed so much with Samantha and Chloe, he went to the allotment, playgroups, museums, even to the seaside, never a dull moment and the food Samantha provided was perfect, healthy and nutritious.
The love and care they showed for Beau was just beautiful and made me feel at ease to leave my son, as he had never been left with anyone else before. We are going to miss you guys so much!! xx

I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone.

By far the best Childminder in the world!

Samantha is the best childminder in the world! We love her so much! From arts & crafts, fun at the playgrounds, spending time in her amazing allotment, exploring lots of museums, fun at the beach & so much more, Daisy has blossomed in her care! Samantha has been so special to our family, I have felt so content leaving Daisy with her & her lovely team, knowing she will be so loved and cared for! Daisy will miss you all so much Samantha and so will we, thank you so much for everything! You are one of a kind xxx

Lovely childminder and team

Samantha was recommended to us by our other childminder when we needed last min extra childcare over the school holidays, it was great to have such a strong recommendation and we couldn’t believe how quickly our daughter settled. She was playing and comfortable within the first day and then didn’t want to leave!! Samantha and her team provided great care, food and outings as well as regular communication, photos and notes and our daughter had so much fun. Highly recommend!

Excellent all around

Our son was not settling in well at a large nursery so we decided to try out a smaller setting at Samantha's house. It has by far been the best decision for our family. He settled in right away, has been so happy going there and made loads of little buddies. Samantha shows such great care to all of the children. The setting is nice and tidy, with a large garden, and the children are always participating in fun activities or going on outings. Our son has really grown in his confidence since starting there. I would thorouhly recommend to everyone, and we will be sending our daughter to Samantha's once she is a bit older.

Excellent, homely childcare

Our little boy was with Samantha for nearly a year. After really struggling to adjust to a nursery setting, Samantha accepted our boy with open arms and he settled in straight away and absolutely loved ‘Mantha and the other assistant childminders. Samantha is such a lovely and kind person and knows how to put parents at ease from the get-go. She is an excellent communicator and has a naturally nurturing disposition. She makes sure the children get a rich depth of experience - whether it’s feeding chickens at the allotment or taking a trip to the Horniman museum. I was very emotional when we said goodbye, we still miss Samantha and are so grateful we were able to send our boy there.

Childminder of dreams!

We are so lucky to have found Samantha. Our daughter was with her for almost 3 years. We would have stayed with her forever if it wasn’t for our daughter starting school.
She has a great home setting which is full of toys and lots of fun activities. Samantha balances fun with learning really well. Lots of arts and crafts and days out (her allotment, the horniman museum, the beach, playgrounds, etc).
The most important thing was that Samantha is so warm and caring. Our daughter was always happy to go there and she felt like part of the family. Our daughter would call her “my mantha”.
I couldn’t recommend Samantha enough. We will miss her!!

Amazing!!!

Our daughter, Violet, started with Samantha after a bad experience with another childminder. With the previous childminder Violet would sob each day I dropped her off, begging me not to leave her. And then we found Samantha….

Violet settled with Samantha after day one, and since then has run into her house with a huge smile on her face (closing the door on me without so much as a backward glance!). Every morning we are greeted with enthusiasm, you can tell that Samantha loves looking after the children, it was so reassuring leaving Violet each day knowing she was happy and well cared for.

The setting is fantastic, the toys are age appropriate, fun and educational, and the food menu changes daily (always home cooked and healthy!). Outside of her home setting, Samantha arranges fantastic days out for the children (in their little hi-vis jackets), to beaches, museums, parks (to name a few), Violet always loved days out in Samantha’s car (fabulous minibus).

I felt that Samantha quickly became part of our family, Violet will miss her and I will too. We were so lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder in Samantha, she is kind, approachable, bubbly and down to earth, we honestly couldn’t have asked for better.

Samantha has Zizi & Tracy working with her too, and I should also mention that they too are wonderful, the ‘Couper Childcare Team’ are just fantastic, I cannot recommend them enough!

Fantastic childminder

Samantha started looking after my daughter when she was two years old. Samantha and her lovely team made the settling-in process very smooth, calm and trustworthy. My daughter settled in very quickly and was always looking forward to go there. Samantha always plans amazing activities both indoor and outdoor, always focusing on your child's physical and mental development. The best part is that I could follow and see how my daughter is spending her day through the lovely photos and videos that Samantha shared which would bring a big smile on my face when at work having a busy and stressful day. My daughter was a picky eater and she learned how to eat on her own at Samantha and started trying and liking new food. My daughter loved the playtime with other children, storytimes and going out at Samantha's allotment to feed the chickens. Also, Samantha has always been very flexible with us. She has always accommodated herself to our needs and for that I can never thank her enough. I will always be recommending Samantha for her outstanding care but also for being so approachable and a great listener. Samantha and her team were like family for us. She has always been so devoted, you can clearly see her love for children.

Home away from home

Samantha is like my daughter's comforter. Knowing my child is loved and cared by her while I am away is a blessing for my family. She is amazing with kids, always full of energy. Kids are well engaged with her doing various craft activities, outdoors parks and beaches, forest school. All her assistants and herself are very attentive and lead with the best manners which i can see my daughter has learned from them.
I am still struggling to make my daughter understand that she will have to stop going Samantha from now. But Knowing Samantha for the person she is if any day we want to go back to her she will welcome my LO with open arms.
For a first time parents like us she was a savior :)
