Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Sue. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Sue is lovely, friendly and very open to help any sort of problems. She helped us potty train our daughter and together we had success, after one week my daughter was accident-free. I saw Sue working with tiny ones and she is very caring and gives a good care.
Overall, I do recommend Sue and we will probably need her help again for baby number 2.
Thanks for everything Sue.

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I’ve loved getting to know your daughter and wish you all the very best for the future. Would love to care for her sibling should the need arise 😊
Our son has been with Sue and Elisha from a young age and he has absolutely loved being looked after by them. He is always happy and excited to be spending the day with them and loves seeing all his friends there. Sue and Elisha have provided a very caring, supportive and fun home-from-home environment in which our son has thrived. Their communication has always been excellent, with both children and parents, the children have a wide variety of activities during the day including plenty of time outside, and the food they provide is very healthy and varied. If we weren't moving away then we would definitely be continuing with Sue and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for top quality, reliable, caring childminding in the Cambridge area.

Many thanks for your kind comments. We look forward to seeing you back as and when the need arises. Best Wishes!
Sue looked after our five year old son during the summer vacation. From the moment we met her, Sue put us at ease with her kind, trustworthy, professional manner. Our son really enjoyed his time and came home with lots to talk about. He especially enjoyed playing with other children in Sue's care. Sue planned activities for him, gave him lunch, and kept us up to date throughout with what he was doing. We have had a lot of experience with childminders over the years and Sue is up there with the very best. We will certainly use her again and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their child.
