Our son has been with Sam for almost 3 years now and started with her from 6 months - he absolutely loves being looked after by her. Sam provides a very caring, supportive and fun home-from-home environment. He even asks to go to Sam’s each morning!

We have seen his learning noticeably progress each day thanks to Sam’s hard work and the variety of activities he does whilst with her. These activities include farm trips, craft activities, trips to the zoo, soft play, park trips, reading, counting, colouring, painting and puzzles.

Sam regularly keeps in contact and sends photographs and information about what he has learnt and experienced during the day. As parents we love receiving these.

We have noticed how much his independence has really developed in Sam’s care, he is now able to take his own coat and shoes off as well as tidy up toys. Skills we definitely appreciate at home!

Sam provides exceptional care and we would highly recommend her as a childminder.
