Fantastic childminder

5 stars

Sonya has been looking after our daughter for over a year now. She loves her days with Sonya and has really come on since attending. Sonya is a natural with the children and will always try and accommodate us, even helping with our older child in school holidays! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for childcare.

Brilliant childminder

5 stars

I am a foster carer to a little boy who has been attending Sonya’s from January this year. He is absolutely thriving in her care and thoroughly enjoys going. She is a brilliant childminder and we cannot thank her enough for all she has done for him.

Wonderful Childminder

5 stars

My little boy has been going to Sonya for a little over 18 months now. Within weeks of him starting with Sonya the difference in him was remarkable. Now, 18 months on, she continues to play an integral part in in his learning & nurturing. He's provided with a safe environment, lovely home cooked meals and a day full of fun on every visit, he comes home every day with a new skill and he's her number 1 fan. Sonya is not only our choldminder but a very honest and trustworthy friend, I would reccomend her to anyone - a natural with children and a lovely person.
