Highly recommended and nurturing childminder

Sally started looking after our daughter when she was 7 months old when I had to return to work a bit earlier than I planned. I was torn about leaving her in childcare when she was so young but Sally's experience and nurturing way reassured me that she was in good hands as soon as I left her. Our daughter has been so happy in Sally's care and is always excited about her days with her. It was very important to us that Sally was highly experienced and would be able to make really well informed decisions about our daughter's care. We also knew that Sally had looked after children for many years and really invests in the relationships she develops with them.
The daily records she prepared were always very clear and informative and we loved the photos she took on occasions of what our daughter had been doing with a good mixture of being outdoors and around the house. Sally was very creative with our daughter's time and made a big thing of special days like Easter, birthday and Christmas. Sally continues to take an interest in our daughter as she grows up.
We have recently moved to a new area and so had to reluctantly change our childcare arrangements when she was just 2 years old. We would not hesitate to recommend Sally to anyone looking for an experienced, kind, nurturing childminder who treats her childminder children as her own.

The best Childminder you can wish for

If you're looking for a childminder that is committed, passionate, very experienced, professional and will treat your child like her own - Sally is the one. I cannot recommend Sally enough - she's an excellent childminder, wonderful person and wise advisor. She looked after our daughter Matylda for over 3 years until she went to school. Even though Matylda is 7 now and we moved away from Sally, we're still in touch and meet together. To us, Sally is someone far more special than just a childminder - she's like a family member. The number of exciting and fun days out Sally organised for Matylda and other children in her setting is endless - from National Trust places to seaside trips, theatres, circuses, discos and parks. Matylda always had so much to talk about. Sally played a key role in developing Matylda and turning her into a confident, caring girl, who understands all key values in life and is proud of who she's is.
Sally's home is very well prepared for children, she has a massive garden with play equipment, lots of educational toys and books. Meals were always healthy and yummy and even now when serving food, I hear 'oh I really like this, we used to have it at Sally's'. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sally to any parent and would be happy to answer any questions. She's a gem that you don't find often. We have been so lucky to meet Sally on our way.

Excellent Childminder

Sally has looked after my daughter since she was 9 months old, unfortunately, due to my daughter now attending Secondary school we no longer require her services. Over the years she has been in this setting Sally has provided many new experiences and trips out to a variety of places during during school holidays. My daughter has attended playgroups and music classes during this time. A full report was provided when she was younger of what she had eaten and done during the day, we also have photos of trips out and activities that she was involved in which are kept in an album for her. We have always been pleased with Sally and have no issues with recommending her services.

Brilliant Childminder

We have been very lucky to find Sally as our childminder.
She has been taking care of our daughter for nearly 4 years. Alice in the care of Sally has grown from a baby to a confident preschool little girl. Sally’s home is very safe and very welcoming. It was a relief of been able to leave our daughter each day for work without having to worry during the day and to see her happy when you collect her.
I m happy to recommend Sally 100%.
