Choosing childcare for our daughter for the first time seemed really daunting, but as soon as we found Sweet Peas we knew it was right for us and our daughter. She started at twelve months and has been really happy at Sweet Peas. She gets so much from the warm, caring and creative environment and comes home smiling.

Vicky and Debbie are so much more than childminders. They both work incredibly hard to give the children the best experience every day that they are there. Sweet Peas has the wide range of activities you would expect in a nursery, but with a small group, there is the personal attention and care you get from a childminder. For us it is the best of both worlds. There is lots of communication, with pictures through the day so we can see what is going on and never feel far away from what she’s doing.

They celebrate events and festivals through the year with cards and activities, and put on things for parents to come along to like a teddy bears picnic and Christmas party so we too feel part of the Sweet Peas. With an American in the family, they even adapted their festivals for us and the children made Thanksgiving cards this year too!

In the morning, our daughter is excited to arrive, to get in and get on with her day at Sweet Peas. Vicky and Debbie are just brilliant, and we are so happy with our choice. We can’t recommend them highly enough.
