Returning to work full time and having a new baby is a very challenging decision to make, (would my child get enough attention? Would she be happy? How would I feel being separated from my child?
I met with various child care providers having a variety of questions that suited our needs. I instantly got the feeling of ease and security from Sammy as she had a full understanding with me having worries of leaving our baby at such a you d age. she was equipped with many answers to our queries and also give me contacts to speak to other parents (past and present) for references for me to access.

We had settling in dates to ensure Myself, husband, sammy and my child felt comfortable by the time I went back full time hours. I was very much at ease. Sammy goes above and beyond to make us feel that our child is being looked after by demonstrating she cares. Sammy is very thorough with paper work which shows me my daughters progress and also cooperates with policy and produces that was initially produced to us when we first met.

Her home is very clean and organised and her children she has are really polite and caring towards our child. There is a large variety of things for the children to do, (staying in the house to access all child centred equipment or go out and using play groups or community services). No day seems to be the same, therefor I feel confident my child is getting a range of activities each day she attends.

We have exciting text updates throughout the day which shows us snippets of our child's day. She always seems very happy. And doesn't come home hungry or upset. Overall. Sammys approach with ourselves and daughter is above expectations. We can not have wished for a better childminder.
