Brilliant childminder

5 stars

My son is 5 years old and Sam picks him up and minds him after school. I am very happy with her manner, her expertise and the environment she has set up. She is communicative and accomodating. I was nervous to leave my child with a stranger but Sam was great at reassuring me and my son is very happy and comfortable to be around her. Definitely recommend!

Amazing childminder

Sam is an amazing childminder. I was so stressed while looking for trustworthy childminder. Sam arranged meeting with us, explained everything and has a great approach to children. She’s always helpful and very flexible. My little boy is happy there and always comes back home in good mood. Definitely recommend!

Amazing, caring, experienced childminder.

5 stars

Sam is amazing, caring, intelligent and very lovely childminder. My son is very happy with her from the first day I brought him. The atmosphere in her house is very friendly, and he is always waiting with excitement for his next session. Safety, experience, toys, food, cleanliness, attitude--Sam deserves the highest mark! I would give her 10 stars, not only 5. Thank you, Sam!
Highly recommended! 🌺

Flexible and caring childminder

5 stars

Samarra has been taking care of my baby since the baby was 6 weeks old. She has been very supportive and flexible since day one. I always pick up my baby happy from her place. I trust her taking care of the baby in my absence and I do not feel anxious anymore going to work. Samarra treats my baby as one of her family members. She keeps me updated during the day and reassures me if I am worried. I really recommend her services.

Kindest and most flexible child minder

5 stars

I needed a child minder desperately when I started my job and Sammara took my children in straight away for a trial session and they dtarted the next day. They loved it and wanted to come back. Over a year later, they still beg me to go there to play even when I'm not working. They really love her, she's so kind. Very flexible as well, if work calls me last minute she will usually take the kids in.
As a single mum with 2 kids and no help around she has been the breath of fresh air I have needed in a long time. I wish I'd found her earlier.

My daughter is relaxed and happy

5 stars

My daughter has been with Sammara over a year now and she has always been made to feel welcomed and enjoys herself in her home. Sammara is very caring and always adapts to my needs whether it's a change of day or pick up or drop off. I would recommend her to any family looking for a homely setting with a childminder who is attentive and caring. My daughter is happy so I am happy.
