Sweet Pea’s are brilliant and I highly recommend them to potential parents.
Our daughter enjoys her days at Sweet Pea’s. We are always amazed with the range of activities that Vicky and Debbie put on, from art to sensory experiences and lots of outdoor play. They also do lots of cultural activities celebrating various festivals (for example Chinese New Year).
One of the most important aspects of Sweet Pea’s for us is that it feels like our daughter is an extension of Vicky and Debbie’s family at Sweet Pea’s. It is a very cosy intimate setting and our daughter loves it!
Vicky and Debbie communicate very effectively and keep us updated with what is going on daily. All-in-all, Sweet Pea’s has made both our daughter and us very happy!

Our daughter has been with Sweet Peas for 8 months now and we couldn't be happier! She loves it there and has formed a great relationship with both Vicky and Debbie as well as her friends in her group. Poppy started when she was 13 months old and they've been amazing from the start - it really has been the perfect introduction to childcare in terms of the comfort of being a home away from home yet they offer all the amazing professional benefits. They really teach them about so many relevant things and I'm amazed with their creativity and the arts and crafts efforts they go through.. It makes a day at home seem very boring in comparison!
Even after a 2 week break Poppy returns to them happily and is excited to be back. We feel very lucky to have found them and couldn't recommend them more!

My son attended Sweetpeas for a year and my daughter is due to start in October. Vicky and Debbie have created a wonderful clean and safe setting for a small group of children who are truly loved and cared for like their own. They do lots of learning through play and my son learnt numbers, colours and shapes through their activities all before he was 2! His speech really came on too. They are great at feeding back progress and I loved the daily photographs. They have a great space and as someone previously mentioned, they provide new toys and games to keep things interesting. They spend lots of time outside too. Vicky and Debbie are also excellent at seasonal/festive events, so expect parties like teddy bears picnic, sports day, Halloween, bonfire night and Christmas! I would also say that my son ate well and slept well there which is also very important for a little person growing and developing. I feel so comfortable that my daughter is now going to them, it makes going back to work that little bit easier. They are open from 7:30 until 6pm and their rates are very reasonable. Overall I couldn’t wish for anything better! Xx

Our daughter started attending Sweet Peas when she was around 16 months old. She didn't settle right away but Vicky and Debbie were so wonderful. Not only did they go out of their way to make our daughter feel loved and comforted but they held our hands through the whole process (which I imagine took a lot of patience on their part!) Sweet Peas is a real home from home. Our daughter has made some lovely new friends, is always playing in the garden and takes part in fantastic activities. She's always being sent home with a new craft project and has enjoyed tonnes of water play in the hot weather. They report on her daily activities and progress and send through photos, which are always lovely to see. I'll be sad when the time comes for her to move on.

My son started at Sweetpeas at 18 months and was there until he was almost 3 years old. We didn't want him to leave! Vicky and Debbie are the loveliest, friendliest carers and my son loved them so much. Not only is their house warm and inviting but their set up is very professional - clean and super organised with new toys being bought all the time. They are both also hugely creative and I miss all the wonderful creations my son used to come home with. They always ensure the children are enjoying all the latest things, whether it's reading a new Julia Donaldson book or riding in the latest Little Tikes car. Lastly, I loved the way I'd get photos during the day of what my son was doing, it was reassuring to see him having fun and being happy. If you are looking for a brilliant child minders, I couldn't recommend them enough.

I can not recommend Sweet Peas highly enough. My 17 month daughter is so happy here.
I was really nervous about leaving my daughter. She was my first, and I was heartbroken at having to return to work. However Sweet peas were the perfect solution to our childcare needs and made the transition very easy.
The set up in the garden is fantastic with lots of outdoor toys and a little outhouse for the children to play in. There are about 5 other children there so my daughter has kids to play with yet it is not as over whelming as going to a nursery.
The food is very good, and home cooked daily. We are also kept up to date throughout the day with pictures, and we are given a report at the end of each day.
Debbie and Victoria are so lovely with my daughter. They really love kids and I am so happy we chose here. It was the perfect balance between a nursery and having our own nanny.

My 3 year old son has been at Sweetpeas for 2 years now and I am so grateful that we found Vicky and Debbie! Their set-up is fantastic: all the facilities and equipment of a small nursery whilst providing the stability, love and invaluable attachment relationships of a family home.
They work tirelessly to ensure the happiness of the children and parents in little ways every day and then also go the extra mile by putting up the bouncy castle in the garden on sunny days, throwing themed parties several times a year for both kids and parents to enjoy and home-made keepsakes for mums and dads on special occasions.
Vicky and Debbie clearly love working with children and as a result my son is thriving in their care.

My daughter has been going to Sweetpeas twice a week since January, from the age of 10 months. I have been extremely impressed with Sweetpeas - they manage to create a very cosy, homely space, like a home from home environment, whilst maintaining a very professional approach to childminding.
I really appreciate the daily reports which are informative and give me an overview of the sort of day my daughter has had!
There have been a couple of occasions when my daughter has become poorly during the day - Vicky and Debbie have handled this perfectly and I really do feel that I am leaving my daughter in the best possible care and don't have any worries about her when she is there.
Even after a week off, my daughter is very happy to go to Sweetpeas which for me says it all (as she is quite able to make it clear she is not happy somewhere!)
I would highly recommend Sweetpeas and feel blessed that I have found such a lovely environment for my daughter when I am at work.

Our daughter has been going to Debbie and Vicky for 8 months and we feel so lucky to have found them. They are a home from home but with the professional running of a nursery. Our daughter goes in with open arms and a smile every morning. We could not ask for much more!

Our 19-month old daughter loves Vicky and Debbie and thoroughly enjoys going to their house. It's a great environment, full of cuddles and fun and we couldn't be happier with it. I thoroughly recommend them.
