We have been extremely fortunate to have Sally as our childminder. Sally has been extremely supportive and super flexible with our last minute requests and changes of plan. Our son loves coming here and always leaves with a smile on his face. More often than not he is quick to showcase a drawing or arts and crafts related activity. We hope to have Sally again in the future for our newborn. Thank you.
Sally provides excellent before and after school care for my 9 year old son, as well as ad-hoc childcare, during the school holiday’s. On occasion, she also looks after my 4 year old son. She provides a very welcoming, nurturing and caring environment. When you meet her you immediately feel at ease and have every confidence that your child will receive fantastic care from a very experienced childcare professional.
Both my children adore spending time at Sally’s, she has a flexible, relaxed approach and nothing is ever too much trouble. She provides stimulating and educational activities and promotes and encourages outdoor play, which is so important. It is lovely and reassuring to receive photos of the children on woodland walks, in the park and playing games throughout the day.
Both my sons have always been very happy to attend the setting and always enjoy their time spent there.
I can’t recommend Sally enough.
My little boy has been with Sally 4 days a week since he was 6 months old and I could not be happier with her care. She regularly takes him out to the zoo/rhyme time at the library/playgroups and they always doing new activities at home, the latest one being cooking. He is learning so much and progressing well which I believe is down to his time with Sally. Strongly recommend.
I cant recommend Sally enough! She has been looking after my 2 boys for some time now and we couldn't be happier. The boys adore her and look forward to seeing her. She often takes them on trips to the park and is always keeping them busy with arts and crafts. My youngest has learnt so much and really matured since being under her care. It is very reassuring knowing they are in a safe and happy environment in which they obviously thrive. We get photo updates throughout the day which is lovely as we get to see them busy and having fun! If you are looking for a happy, safe and educational setting then I really cant recommend Sally enough, we just wished we had found her sooner.
We cannot recommend Sally enough. Our son has been with her for over a month now and already we can see a big difference in him.
As a family we were very apprehensive about my return to work and placing our son into childcare, but Sally could not have done any more to put us as ease. She welcomed us into her home in the weeks leading up for settling in sessions which made the return to work feel a lot less daunting.
Sally keeps us up to date throughout the day with routines, and sending cute photos of what they’re getting up to (which makes the time apart much easier).
My son is very happy going to Sally’s 3 days a week, and loves all of the activities she does with them and the play groups they go to. All of the provision which Sally provides has really helped with our son’s confidence around new people and is also helping him reach milestones almost every day.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would recommend to anyone!
