We placed our one year old daughter with Sophie for child-minding at the beginning of September 2024 and were highly impressed by all aspects of her care. The children she took care of were always well-behaved, happy and comfortable. The range of activities she took our daughter to and environment she provided helped our only child become far more outgoing and comfortable in groups. She would happily chirp away when being driven home and seemed legitimately sad to be leaving every day. The menus of food provided were varied, nutritious and had a lot of thought and care put into them like everything else.

We had a fair amount of apprehension when it came to using a childminder as there is always the fear of how well your child will be taken care of. Given how well-settled our daughter was here for the months that Sophie took care of her, it was with substantial regret that we had to cease using her services as work demands necessitated a move outside of Berkshire. Absent that we would have never left. Highest recommendation.
