We found Sandrine after a long search for the right childcare for our daughter Alice. When we met her we knew immediately that she was the right person to look after her.

She has built a clean, caring and loving environment for Alice and the other children she looks after. Our daughter has been so happy here - well looked after, well fed and I honestly think she's enjoyed every day. They take lots of trips to the park for picnics and to see the ducks, play groups, wacky warehouse, swimming and the farm.

When they're not outside, the house is full of toys and books and she enjoys drawing, painting and doing other arts and crafts. Sandrine has a lovely garden for the children to play in and they've had fun learning about all the vegetables she grows as well.

Sandrine pays a lot of attention to each childs learning, teaching them new skills, new words and using every opportunity to help their development. We have marveled each day at the new words Alice comes out with and the new skills she has learnt, and have loved displaying her artwork and crafts on the fridge.

Sandrine keeps us up to date each day with photos and videos of what they are up to - it makes going back to work a lot easier seeing Alice's happy face. Sandrine has been very flexible and accommodating and understands balancing work and being a parent is hard.

We're only leaving because we've decided to move out of London and closer to family - we only hope that the next childcare we have will offer the same loving and stimulating environment that she's had with Sandrine.
