I have been registered since 2002, looked after children from all backgrounds, and maintained their individual needs according to parents' requests.

Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Sandy. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Always a smile on arrival when I drop my son off. He loves it there and is taken care of well. Sandra has gone the extra mile for me and my son and I really appreciate all her support and everything she has taught my son. I love the online facility, it is an amazing resource and allows me to see what my son is up to everyday (real time)- I cannot put a price on this! The pictures are lovely to see and gave me immediate reassurance in the early days when it was hard to leave him and go to work.
The set up is lovely, with the additional branded bus! The children go out regularly, not like in nurseries and this really drew me to Sandra's services. In fact that is where I met her at the local library, so when I was looking for childcare, I had already seen how she looked after children well before I was even looking - so it was an easy choice for me.
I love seeing my son and the children go on the days trips with their branded hi-vis jacket.
I highly recommend Sandy Dee Littles stars. It is obvious that Sandra has put her heart and soul her company. Thank you Sandra xx

Thank you so much for your review.

Outstanding Services from Auntie Sandra as my children call her. She has given a fantastic early start for our two girls starting from 2018 and the second in 2021. Very professional in all her services yet humble, caring and absolutely motherly. She’s given our daughters a great start into their educational career and empowered them to be more independent and social. Times where we both were caught up at work, Aunty Sandra has always been there for the girls and has never let us down. We have always recommended her to friends and family who have availed and still using her services. Keep up the fantastic work you are doing to our children and community at large!

My both kids are going to SandyDee and we are all very happy and pleased with the care given.
Myself and my husband are very lucky that we found Sandra and we know that when we are at work the kids are well looked after.
Thank you Sandra and the team!

My two sons have been with Aunty Sandra for 10+ years and counting she is one of the most caring, kind, thoughtful and generous lady myself and my kids have ever known. I pick and drop my child off at her door greeted by a warm smile knowing there are safe and in for a joyous time.
Thank you Aunty Sandra!!
May God bless you in abundance

Thank you for lovely review
Sandra
My son started at Sandys in 2022 and his progress since then has been amazing. He's is confident, sociable and us dry during the days and nights because of help from Sandy. The setting is clean and there is a specific indoor and outdoor space for the children. My son is excited to go into the setting each morning because of the many activities they do during the day. Sandy also uses the babydays app which allows you to stay updated on your child during the day. I don't worry about my son whilst at work as I know he is being taken care off. We didn't just find an amazing childminder, we also found a new family member. I would definitely recommend Sandy.
