Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
27 March 2024
A recent inspection revealed both strengths and areas for improvement in this childcare setting. Children enjoy a happy, comfortable environment with educational activities supporting learning and development. Physical activities encourage imagination and coordination. While behavior is well-managed, the inspection noted that activities are not always tailored to suit different developmental stages. Improvements in activity planning and assessment of children's development were recommended to better support individual progress.

Great Childminder

5 stars

We started sending our son to Sammy’s over 2 years ago for after school care, and have never looked back. Our son enjoys going to Sammy’s and engaging in lots of different crafts and games. The children are kept busy and bring lots of things home that they have made and are proud of. My daughter has also started to go to Sammy’s and she loves it and is very fond of Sammy. My son will also be joining Sammy in September, he’s already excited and eager to go. Thank you Sammy, you’ve made my life a lot easier knowing the children are in a safe and caring environment

Family away from home

5 stars

Where do I start.... sammy and her husband pete first started looking after my daughter when she was only 4 months old! She turns 3 in April and is still going now. She LOVES it!!!! I don’t even get a goodbye when I drop her off! I get updates throughout the day about things she’s done, and the amount of effort that goes into the children’s activities is incredible!! If I have more children there would be no hesitation at all where they would go! To me they have become an extension of the family, and that’s really all you want when looking for people to look after your babies!!

Fantastic lady!

5 stars

So glad I found Sammy. My little boy has been with her since he was 10 months old (he is now 4) and I feel so comfortable leaving him with Sammy everyday. He loves being there and feels so safe and happy. They do so many fun activities which I love receiving at the end of the topic. My son has progressed so much with his learning through play and keeps me so well informed with everything. Having Sammy meant going back to work after my 2nd child so much easier knowing he was in such safe hands. Can't recommend Sammy enough.

The best!!

5 stars

My Son has been going to Sammy’s for nearly 4 years now and it was the best decision I could have made. Sam has always been flexible to suit my needs/work responsibilities, and when having problems with my son we worked together to sort things out. It’s obvious that Sam puts a lot of effort into looking after the children in her care, my son never ceases to amaze me with the wisdoms he comes out with! Above all, my son loves going there, he feels safe and cared for as well as lots of opportunities to learn, adding to the fact that I have total peace of mind. An excellent childminder.

superb childminder!!

5 stars

sammy is just brilliant, i wished i had found her sooner to care for my son! from the first day of meetibg sammy she made me and my 17 month old son feel at home and so comfortable. my son used to attend nursery but wasnt settling down very well so decided to go for a childminder. he has been so happy and seen such a change in bradley, when he goes and leaves sammys childcare. so much so that he doesn't want to go home lol!! sammy keeps me updated through the day how my son is and what activities they have done throughout the day. they have built such a great bond together in such little time already, that i know bradley is in safe hands. You're doing a marvellous job and thanks for being like a 2nd mum to bradley xx
