Little Boots

Would recommend over and over again!

I cannot recommend Sam highly enough as a childminder! Our son has been with her for 2 1/2 years and we are so sad to leave as he starts school. Her home is always spotless and welcoming. She has created the perfect environment for the children to feel safe and happy. Sam takes the children on fantastic outings, making every day an adventure filled with fun and learning. She provides delicious and nutritious meals that my son always enjoys despite not wanting to eat anything at home! I appreciate her commitment to healthy eating and always feel relieved knowing he’s eaten so well with Sam all day.

Sam is incredibly flexible and always goes out of her way to accommodate our schedule, which has been a lifesaver. Most importantly, she genuinely cares for the children, building such amazing relationships with each of them that make all the parents feel so confident and comfortable our children are being so well looked after. I have loved receiving the daily detailed updates, filled with pictures so I can see all the fun my son is having. Sam is truly a gem and comes highly recommended for so many reasons!

Thank you 🤩

Absolutely Fantastic

Sam is a fantastic person who is thoroughly committed to her role as childminder and the children that she cares for. She draws on her school teaching experience to stimulate and develop the children within her care and her attention to detail and thoughtfulness is second to none. She forged a beautiful relationship with our son by recognising his needs and in no time he felt secure leaving us and being with her. As an anxious mum, Sam's flexibility and adaptability was hugely appreciated and many efforts were made to accommodate not only my son's needs - but mine as well!
Her setting is clean and welcoming and on constant toy or theme rotation to keep it fresh for the children. She accommodated our child's dietary requirements with ease and enthusiasm and I am continuously impressed by her organisational skills. Sam has been perfect and, as our son is now ready for a nursery setting as he reaches that age, we will look fondly upon his time with Sam and continue to recommend her to anyone looking for a child minder who's heart is truly in her work. Thank you for everything Sam!

Kind and conscientious childcare professional

Sam started looking after my daughter when she was 8 months old until we unfortunately had to leave London when she was 2.
Sam understood how difficult it is to leave your baby with someone for the first time and was so flexible and understanding to both my daughter and my needs, including our difficult dietary requests.
My daughter has absolutely loved being in Sam's care. She has learned so many new skills and loves the many special outings and new friends she has made.
I cannot recommend Sam highly enough. I feel very lucky to have found her and we will all miss her and her little group very much.

I Highly Recommend Sam

Sam looked after my 2 year old daughter for a year and I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. She is extremely professional & made me feel really at ease with daily updates & pictures.

My daughter was very happy with Sam & was kept very busy with playgroups, day trip’s & indoor activities. She was always very happy to go to Sams house & they built a very good relationship that made my daughter feel safe & comfortable.

Sam provides a very clean, calm & safe space for children to learn & Play in her home.

The best

Sam looked after our 2 year old daughter since she was 13 months. Our daughter has loved being in her care and we can see the wonderful milestones she has reached and skills she has developed with Sam.

Sam provides a wide range of stimulating activities and attends local playgroups, parks, farms, libraries.

Our daughter settled in quite quickly which was a huge relief and Sam has been very supportive working together and helping us to navigate transitions and big life events.

Sam is kind, caring and organised and fantastic at communication with us as parents. Sam provides regular updates and photos throughout the day and was always available if we needed to get in contact.

Sam has a warm, professional and loving setting for the kids and her family are wonderful.

Sam has treated our daughter like her own and we know that our daughter will have very fond memories of her time with Sam for years to come.

We have recently moved out of the area and already miss Sam very much.
