Our daughter has attended Sofia's setting consistently for more than three years now (from 18 months old through to Reception stage), which is a reflection of the trust we have in Sofia, and the quality of the experience our daughter has at the setting.

The standard of care offered is exemplary – imaginative, varied and engaging. The activities are thoughtful and diverse, always supporting the EYFS framework, and have sped our daughter's development, from letter formation and numeracy to her wider understanding of the world.

We have no doubt that the glowing end-of-year report we received from our daughter's nursery owes a great deal to the support Sofia has supplied on the learning journey.

There are also regular visits to parks, museums, farms and zoos; the children have a good mix of indoor and outdoor activities, whatever the weather. The home-cooked menu is more varied than what we provide at home!

The daily reporting from Sofia is notably excellent – we have confidence in the care and education that our daughter is receiving because we can see the evidence firsthand, and read about her activities and meals, and what our daughter enjoyed during any given day.

Sofia has been reliable, flexible and unflaggingly energetic for the past three years, even working to continue to provide a strong service through the most challenging periods of the pandemic. I would recommend Sofia's Childminding to any parent of young children.
