My 18 month old daughter visits Sam twice a week and really enjoys spending time there with Sam's own children and the other children visiting. There's a wide range of toys, a very well equipped playroom and outdoor area (for the warmer months). Sam often does arts and crafts with the children which my daughter enjoys and she lets them do lots of mark making (drawing) which is great too. They get fed healthy and nutritious snacks and meals and have an opportunity for a nap too if they still have one. Sam is very friendly and always lets you know what's happened in the day and how your child has been and also will always let you know if there are any concerns. My daughter is very comfortable with Sam and has settled well, My older daughter is always jealous whenever she comes with me to pick up my youngest from Sam's as she loves the look of the playroom and toys and is desperate for me to book her in! (Sadly for her she's at school!) Would highly recommend if you're looking for a childminder in Royston (we even drive out from one of the villages to use her).
