We know Sophie for more than 3 years now and to summarise we couldn’t be happier and feel completely secured to have our children with her and her team. More than this she is for the kids as important as a member of the family and cares for them in a very genuine way while keeping her premises very organised and professional. Without hesitation I would recommend her services and intend to continue to place our kids in her care for a long time to come.

We have two children a 3,5year old boy and a 15months old girl. Our son was in full time care with Sophie from age of 5months to 3year old and now is going to pre school. He thrived during his time with her and I could see him grow up and play with children from different ages which helped him a lot becoming a confident and happy little boy. The best testimony always been how happy he was to go everyday at Sophie's. We are experiencing the same great experience with our little girl who is now going full time and is running into the premises to play with her friends with a big smile.

Sophie places Health, wellbeing and safety at the centre of her concerns and put in place a variety of good practices that makes us feel very comfortable as parents (policies, organisation of the flat, ratio children/carers, covid related procedures).
The premises are spotless and a lot of attention is put on hygiene. The kids took some excellent habits like washing their hand after potty, regularly ask to wash his hand and cleaning his table ect.
All the food is freshly made and of excellent quality with special care around avoiding salt and sugar. They are being introduced to a variety of flavour, and learn to enjoy discovering. As always, Sophie is given a lot of attention to each individual needs of the children by encouraging them where they have more difficulties. Our son never been very enthusiastic on fruits and she looked for a lot of different ways to introduce them. Our daughter had a lot of issue taking the bottle when she was younger and again Sophie always been available and spent a lot of time helping and looking for solution.

Sophie and her team plans a huge variety of activities for the children and makes sure they all participate to them. They range across craft, painting, singing, reading, cooking, picking fruit at the market, going to the park, playing outside, discovering texture and taste, building blocks, different play area, dressing up ect.
I can see how the kids are engaged at home in a lot of different activities and are happy to experiment. She will also leave the child to discover in their own terms and wont force any activity upon them.

They also have a very good routine and learn basic community leaving rules for instance how to tidy and help with small task. Sophie and her team know how to create a relaxed and happy environment with the necessary boundaries and are very good at setting limits.

We particularly like the fact that the kids spend a lot of time outside (unless really bad weather!) and discover nature, play as a group and simply take some fresh air. It's really important in our opinion and she fully takes advantage of the parks in the area (and in a covid secured way now).

Lastly the level of communication with parent is excellent. Since the adaptation period to this day, Sophie have been taking on board in great details all the information / routine to make sure the kids feels confortable since day 1, asking for detailed questions on their habits and giving very detailed feedback on how the day went and how they adapted in the premises. We felt since the start she is very attentive to individual needs of the kids and she knows them all extremely well as individual.
We receive a daily update with pictures and a summary of their day + practical info (what they hate, nap time ect). This is invaluable as helps a really smooth transition between home and childcare, when older you can discuss what they have done and also simply have a window in their day to day. She also do in depth development tracking bi annual that are really impressive and accurate, and also a great sharing moment to discuss where to encourage and support our little ones.

All I can say is a huge thanks you to her and her team for those years!
