Update - almost 3 years on
I would still have no hesitation in recommending this lovely lady. My little boy is now 3 years old and recently started nursery but still loves going to 'Sammy65' for a couple of hours straight after. His vocabulary and numeracy are above standard for his age and I attribute this in part to 'Sammy65'. Not only is she fantastic but she has a very nice, well mannered family too; which is reflective of her skills both as a mother and a childminder. My son can be a bit of handful at times (what young boy can't?!?) but she manages it well and I have no qualms about her abilities to care for him.
