Before our daughter, who was 7 months old at the time, started with Sophia and Bella, we talked to and visited several childminders - but it was only when we stepped into Sophia's setting that we felt we had found a place we could trust. 

Sophia and Bella are kind, generous and patient; so much care is put into kids' development and needs. Because our daughter started so young, they were instrumental in helping us with weaning (made easier by the amazing food on offer); because she was born during the pandemic, they were the ones helping her socialise with other babies and toddlers for the first time. Today, our almost one year old eats everything in her sight and is a super-social toddler; I have no doubt Sophia and Bella helped her get there.

We only spent a short time with Sophia and Bella before leaving London - and we left knowing their care would be difficult to replicate. They have made a huge difference in our daughter's life and ours: it's thanks to their care that we know what to look for in the future.
