Sandy has been an absolute treasure! She has not only been extremely flexible with our up and down working hours but she is a genuine, kind and understanding person who has taken great care of our little boy Beau. The learning and development at Sandy's childminding is outstanding! I could not believe the amount of information and feedback Sandy would give after a day with our son. She provided us with a very thorough and detailed book which informed us of all of Beau's learning stages. Not only that but also provided us with a book which each day let us know what she had been doing with Beau, what time he had his feeds, when his nappy was changed and what kind of mood Beau may have been in that day. Sandy also made us a large book full of pictures of Beau and his day to day development. Impressed is an understatement- I have no idea how she does all of this! She is brilliant.

Beau has developed so quickly being at Sandy's. He is one years old and has now been chatting away and just started walking (I think he learnt that from Sandy's little boy rather quickly). Beau is generally a very happy baby but when he comes home from Sandy's he is happy and worn out!! We will miss Sandy very much and I know Beau will miss her too.

Sandy has also been 100% accommodating to our needs (for example: if we have been called in to work last minute). Communication is extremely important between mother and childminder and Sandy has exceeded all my expectations. She has also been that lovely, supportive woman when I've had my ups and downs as a new mummy!

ONE MORE THING...Sandy's home is perfectly set out with sooo many toys and things to do- also in the garden! She is so professional, her home is professional and she deserves the title for the best childminder in Farnham!...and I am so sad to be leaving her!!
