Latest reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Sonata. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
My little girl (19 months) has been with Sonata since Sep 24 as her first time in any setting. Sonata has been brilliant to overcome my daughter's initial reluctance and quickly shifted her from cry when leaving my arms to not even turning her head as she runs into Sonata's house.
I have detailed visibility of what's going on throughout the day via app, all activities are structured and provide key learning points. Other children in her care appear to be of similar age which imo helps.
What I really like about Sonata - always positive, flexible, professional, diligent and responsible
What I really like about her setting - spotless clean above usual standards, well equipped with educational toys and activity stimulators, access to garden for plays
What I really like about her work style - kids are out in fresh air whenever possible, she documents educational journey and puts focus on early years plan, she communicates very well to ensure both her and I have enough information + takes at least 5 good quality pictures every day which always make me smile!
I don't normally provide glowing reviews but I am really happy to have found Sonata as childminder for my daughter and plan to continue using her services for the future. Am happy to provide personal feedback to anyone interested in her service (and I am not affiliated with Sonata or her family in any way).
