Sam Scott

Simply the Best

We went to see Sam after deciding that a nursery environment was not right for our sensitive little one year old. I wanted her to be in a home from home environment, with the love and attention that she needed when I went back to work. Within 5 minutes of entering Sam’s home, my husband and I were asking where do we sign! Sam is the most kind and warm person you will meet. Her home is perfectly set up for learning and fun, and Izzy regularly comes home with drawings, baking goodies and other craft projects that she has done with Sam during the day. We are so lucky that we found a childminder that is so active, Sam is always taking them on adventures to local parks, adventure parks like Hobbledown, the local playgroup to sing, dance and play and regularly sees other childminders which means Izzy has the benefit of a small environment, but with the opportunity to play regularly with more children. She is always so excited to go to Sam’s and smiling when we pick her up, we can’t ask for more than that. You’ve hit the jackpot if you get a space with Sam, she’s simply the best ⭐️

aaah Becca, Thank you soo much, what a lovely review!! :)) You know how much I adore having your Izzy! She's such a happy little munchkin and full of sooo much fun, often having me in stitches with her little personality!!! She really is an absolute pleasure to have and I've thoroughly enjoyed watching her grow and learn new skills along the way. I will really miss her when she begins a new chapter at nursery, but I know she'll have the best time and has the confidence to take on new challenges, especially having made a bestie here, who will be right by her side!
You've also been such a wonderful family to work with, Thank you :) xxx

THE BEST!!

We think ourselves extremely lucky to have found Sam almost 7 years ago. She has looked after both of our children from babies up until recently when they have both flown her nest to primary school.
Sam is simply amazing, our little ones adore her (as do we) and they developed extremely well, both mentally and emotionally in her care. Sam manages to find enough love for every little one she has and works with each child’s individual needs.
Our children had the best experience with Sam and a great start to life in her care!
Thank you Sam.

Aaaah Kate 🥰 thank you ever so much. You know how much I love your babies! It was an absolute joy & honour to look after them & I miss them so much. It’s been wonderful to hear your updates of just how well they’ve settled & enjoying school.
Much love to you all xx

An amazing childminder!

I’m so glad that we found Sam! Sam welcomed our daughter from the very start and has really made her feel like part of the family.☺️

It was important to us that she could settle in quickly, and with Sam’s warm nature, she did just that. Our daughter loves her days at Sams and is so excited to show and tell me all the creative and fun things she did in the day.
Knowing that your child is safe and happy and is also learning through play, is so reassuring. From the start, we immediately felt that Sam could provide all of these things!

Our once shy daughter, has definitely come out of her shell since being with Sam. Our daughter is now more confident around other people other than Mum and Dad. She has also come along way in her development, particularly in physical development, becoming more independent on playground equipment and doing things by herself with no help - which Sam has really helped her with.

Sam's setting is just lovely, it's well thought out with little people in mind and has a garden with lots of exciting play equipment and who could forget, a couple of bunny rabbits!

Overall, Sam provides a friendly, safe, comfortable, fun, educational and nurturing environment and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to anyone! Thank you Sam!

Sam

I literally don't know where to start with Sam! I first found her for my second child as i was looking for a childminder near my first's nursery for easy pick ups and drop offs and what an absolute gem of a find she was! Since those early days she has not only cared for my second but also third child and first one when needed too. She is an absolutely incredible childminder and the kids have all flourished from being with her. She does lots of activities with them and trips out and they absolutely love the animals and garden. Sam showers them with love and attention and guidance and the kids go in and as well as leave with huge smiles on their faces. I cannot recommend Sam highly enough (she almost makes me want to have another.......but not quite!!) Thank you for everything over the years Sam xx

Aaaah Philippa, what wonderful things to say. Thank you so much!
I have had an absolute ball with all of your munchkins, especially no.3! Her sense of humour and giggles used to regularly have me in stitches!!!
I'm going to miss you all so very much, but I'm sure we'll cross paths again at some point :)
Grace will have a fantastic time at Nursery and will have fun making new friends.
See you all soon

Great childminder

Sam has a fantastic manner, and a genuine enthusiasm for looking after young children. I am amazed by her ability to provide each child with one to one attention, whilst also managing to ensure everything runs to time and everyone is kept organised. She makes it all seem so effortless, which we all know it isn't!

Wow! What a fabulous compliment :) Thank you Sian, I really appreciate it.
Charlie has been an absolute poppet to care for and he has made some lovely friendships with the other children in my setting who he'll move up to big school with :)
It always puts a smile on my face watching the friendships form, coupled with all the laughter and giggles!!
