Sofia is a really qualified childminder, also really flexible. My son always enjoyed times at hers. She always treats him like her own. I can just recommend her!

Sofia looked after my little one Roma who had never been to anyone before, she was the most loving woman towards roma and always welcomed her with a cuddle. Sofias husband was also involved in Romas care and Roma adored him as much as Sofia. She always came out happy and clean with her hair done :)
The most flexible childminder iv ever come across and also the cheapest!!!

We had recently moved to Lancaster and sofia was the first person I had ever left my then 1yr old boy with. She was amazing with her caring and nurturing attitude. My boy learnt so much from her while he was with her. So flexible and accommodating. I never had to worry about my child while he was with her. They treated him like his own child and I couldn't have been more satisfied with her. Surely going to miss her.

My daughter has been with Sofia since she was just one year old and now she’s nearly three, she’s absolutely loved Sofia and tells me that she likes her and wants to go to Sofia’s all the time! Sofia is very patient and reliable, I can trust her completely that my daughter will be well taken care of whist at work. Also she’s very flexible, because of my work, she can adjust to a change of schedule reasonably, which I don’t think many other Child minders and nurseries can do, that’s one of the reasons I’ve been sending my little one to hers in the past two years. I highly recommend Sofia, she is really good!
