Sabrina and her team made our first experience of putting our daughter into childcare fantastic in every way. Our daughter settled in really quickly, despite having previously been very clingy and shy around other adults and children. I am really glad she experienced the homely, family-like atmosphere of Crystals before we moved her to a nursery, even though this hadn't been our original plan. She has grown and learnt so much during her time at Crystals, with her social skills, speech and movement developing rapidly. Sabrina went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and informed from the start, sending us very regular photos and updates. She always makes sure the children in her care have the mostly wonderful learning and play experiences, taking them out to local parks, shops, play groups and on a brilliant farm trip. I'm so glad we found Crystals, thank you for everything!

My children have been with Sabrina for a few months now and I cannot fault her. She is absolutely amazing! Really wish I had found her sooner. Her attention to detail, knowledge and passion for what she does is evident. My children love her and have learned so much in such a short space of time. She has already got them speaking in Spanish! (You’re stuck with us for eh forceable future!!) Michaela

Crystals childminders is a fun, adaptive and homely environment. I interviewed her rigorously in the beginning and she was patient, willing to comply with the childcare.co.uk interview procedure without complaining or making me feel uncomfortable. Sabrina is a great listener, a hard worker, and is truly passionate about childcare. I have seen my child blossom during the time she has been with Crystals. What made Sabrina stand out to me was her clear love for creating innovative childcare activities. She always makes the effort to celebrate all the occasions within the year. She grows plants with them and introduces them to the several animals that she has and she has created several games to keep my little ones mind active during a pandemic like this. She buys caterpillars and grows them into butterflies with the children. These weird and wonderful things are gold for children's psychological development. People ask; why a childminder over a nursery? Sabrina sends me pictures almost every day of my child so I am always in the loop and feel connected to my child. She creates photo albums (so I don't have to!). But most of all, nothing can replace that one to one support that a child gets from a consistent care giver. Sabrina has built a very strong bond with my child. What makes me stay is the clear and indisputable happiness of my child. She doesn't cry when I drop her off, infact she often shuts the door in my face when I try and say goodbye!
