Sophie is the most amazing childminder! She goes above and beyond in every single thing she does for the children in her care. Our daughter was with her for over a year and during that time absolutely blossomed. As a parent, it is such a difficult decision of where to send your child but I can say that sending your child to Sophie makes that decision so easy. It was the greatest comfort to know that our daughter was receiving the best possible care and experiences each day.

One of the highlights of my day was getting photos from Sophie of what they had been up to. Sophie always plans new, fun, enriching, engaging and exciting activities and outings based on the children's interests/theme/season. The variety of experiences that my daughter had while there (too many to name!) were so impressive- and inspired us to do lots at home! Sophie also made a book for each child with a very detailed narrative of what they had been up to as well as printed photographs. I loved sharing this book with my daughter and chatting about all of the things she had done and learned in the day.

Sophie is so incredibly thoughtful, kind and caring. Our daughter has always been quite cautious and had several fears that Sophie supported her with and helped her conquer. She created an environment where my daughter felt happy, safe, comfortable and was excited to go to each and every day. She also has such a lovely family who embraced our daughter and made her feel part of the family.

We are so grateful to Sophie for everything that she has done for our daughter. We were so lucky to have her as our childminder and highly recommend her!
