Below are the 5 star reviews for Sophia. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members 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.
Our daughter started with Sophia when she was a year old and stayed until she was nearly 3 years old and I cannot recommend a more caring, personable, organised and reliable childminder. Sophia teaches excellent manners, organises days out for the little ones, worked with us through toilet training, and has her finger on the pulse regarding all areas including child development. Our daughter made some fantastic friends during her time there and her language progressed enormously. They provide a healthy and varied rotating food menu (I always thought it smelled wonderful at pick up time!) and I really liked how the children called the staff 'auntie' - it felt like a little home from home. Our daughter was very happy at Daisy Daycare, they are a very personal and attentive childcare service. A big thank you to Sophia and her lovely team ❤️ xxx

Sophia and her team are wonderful. My child settled in so quickly and is always delighted to see them. His day is filled with creative and fun activities as well as healthy food and communication with parents is excellent. We feel totally confident that he is getting is the best possible care and would highly recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a warm and friendly environment for their child.

Our son has been with Sophia and her assistants for over a year after we found her on this platform. We feel so so lucky to have found her - our son goes in happy and comes out happy every day. He’s so well looked after by his Aunties who have really got to know him, treat him with genuine love and care and provide him with everything he needs, creative play, language learning, homemade healthy food, fun activities and music and dancing, from 8 to 6 every day, allowing us to work full time fully reassured that he’s in the most capable hands and receiving so much benefit!

Our daughter started with Sophia at 10 months old, we found the space very well set up for infants with plenty of toys, dining space and access to an outdoor play area. She settled in very well and has become very attached to Sophia and the team, enjoying the different activities including Spanish class on Tuesdays.
For us parents, we love the regular updates on WhatsApp and we can check the Cradle app to see when our daughter has eaten, been changed, napped, completed an activity etc. We also appreciate the regular dialogue on her development.

Sophia is a God sent. I couldn't be any more happier with the care and the peace of mind she offers from her services. Most important my Little one feels at home and secure. The communication is great and almost instant. I would recommend Sophia especially if you're based in Brixton. Her location is central.

My girls are very much drawn to Sophia’s setting where they get a chance to surround themselves with their peers.
I am confident & certain that they are safe and well looked after when they are in the care of Sophia.

Sophia picks my 4.5yo up from school and looks after her until 6:45pm twice a week.
Sophia is excellent with children. From the get-go she has engaged with my child, speaking to her on her level, helping her with her phonics and number work and having fun with her. My child comes home from Sophia’s full of chat about the time she has spent there. Sophia is punctual and reliable, friendly and approachable, professional and caring.
I am so pleased to have found her!

We found Sophia through this website. Our 13 month old started with Sophia a month ago and is having such a good time, he doesn't want to come home and leave all the fun! Sophia and her assistant are fantastic with the kids, keep us regularly informed and send updates and pictures which has made us feel more relaxed about leaving him for the first time. Sophia has so much energy with the kids and is contactable at all times. We're so happy to have found her! Our son even eats better with her than at home, which was a worry of ours as he has been a fussy eater in the past.

My daughter has been going to Sophia since she was just over 1. Prior to that, she had never really been around other children or left with anyone else asides my mum due to lockdown. So naturally I wasn’t sure how she would get on in a different environment.
3 months plus in and I must say that I am very pleased with how things are going. She is happy when she arrives and also when I go back for her. The updates I receive from Sophia show that she enjoys activities with other children. She more bubbly, has become more independent and more aware.
I am really happy and I’m always at ease whenever she’s at Sophia’s as I’m certain she being taken good care of.
Love it!

My little boy has been with Sophia for a month now, starting a 5 1/2 months. He was a typical lockdown baby, very shy and not used to strangers and suffered from an immature digestive system. Fast forward and he loves it at Sophia’s. he is happy, healthy, settled and eating well. Sophia is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, capable and importantly for this first mum who worries - available to answer any questions and works with me regarding my sons needs. Both of us couldn’t be happier!

I couldn't recommend Sophia more, my baby started when she was 8 months and she is super happy when there. When I go to pick her up she is always smiling. Sophia sends us photos of all the activities they do together, and she also has an app where you can check what they are doing during the day. Sophia and her assistant are the sweeter childminder you can find around and I am really happy my boy has the chance to go there.

My 15 month old absolutely loved the two days he was looked after each week. Emotional to have to say goodbye as we are moving house. He was always so chatty when I picked him up and I always looked forward to seeing the updates on the Cradle app. The themed days and parties were always a lovely touch.

We couldn't have found better care for our 2 year old daughter, she runs into their arms in the morning and looks so happy when we pick her up in the evening.
Sophia and Kay are really caring and love the children, we cannot express how happy we are to have found them. Our daughter settled in very fast. We get frequent updates on progress and photos.
They have a great outside play area which is in the building and completely safe. So the children get a varied day even when the covid restrictions mean they can't do the outings. We recommend them 100%.

My son has been attending with Sophia and her assistant Kay who are absolutely spot on with everything they do with the children concerning behaviour, to activities to learning, my son absolutely adores it there and has improved in just a month, they are just amazing and I I’m glad I was able to come across them as I was skeptical but I feel 1000% safe with them thanks again both stars xx

We started using Sophia’s services in April 2020 and we couldn’t make a better choice! Our little one is well looked after with loads of activities for children’s development.
Communication is no.1 priority for Sophia, even when she is busy with our little angels. Our daughter is always happy, well fed and on her “days off” mentions Sophia and the kids a lot!
Pick up/ drop off - always on time!
Flexible and affordable!
Choice of different meals for kids!
If you’re looking for a childminder who is willing to go an extra mile for your little one or your family, choose Sophia. 10/10 - always there for you!

As a parent I am very overprotective and always worry about my daughter when she is not with me, but it comes that time when our kiddies need to socialize with others exept parents. So I decided to take my 2 year old daughter ( which also is Sofia with f :)) to a childminder. And I found Sophia thru this site. Went down and met her and her big smile and the fact that my daughter she just went inside the house and felt so comfortable like she knew the place made me take in that moment the decision that she is the right person for my daughter.
We had some concerns regarding my Sofia because she was not interacting very well with other kids and I explained to Sophia about it. Since she started going to her I can see a big difference in my little one. She comes home very happy and chatty and I can see the work Sophia is putting in every day as I told her many times I will not be able to do her job and thats why I admire her for her positivity.
Sophia send me photos of my daughter throughout the day and always let me know via txt message how she is doing or when she comes how she settles in.
My personal experience is that she is amazing and I can see my daughter loves the time with her so for me thats more than enough.

I just want to start by commending Sophia’s ability to go above and beyond for the children. As a Paramedic I have had to work 12/13 hour shifts and in all honesty without Sophia I have absolutely no idea how i would manage to keep my job and my 6 year old child fed. On one occasion she drove over 45 minutes just to drop off a toy my child left behind, when I tried to offer her some money for the trouble she insisted that the smile on Gemma’s (my child) face was all the payment she needed, me and my daughter are vegan and every time my daughter is with Sophia she makes a lovely meal and sometimes she even sends food home for me as she knows I wouldn’t have time to cook. Sophia makes Gemma feel like family and for that I truly am thankful, when we clap at 8o’clock we not only clap for the NHS but also for Sophia.

Sophia has been so amazing to my two daughters aged 6 and 8. I don’t think I would have been able to work my shifts at the hospital working 23 hours without her. Sophia settled my daughters in so quickly and was ever so friendly. She makes amazing fresh food for my kids, I have contacted Sophia on very short notice as I have been called into work and Sophia has been very understanding and accommodating. One of Sophias many good traits are that she is honest and very genuine. I’m sorry you have experienced this but I can guarantee onSophias behalf and many other parents that Sophia is an outstanding childminder.

We have been for a while with Sophia and her team and we had an amazing experience. My two years old son was always well taken care of, looked after his physical and development skills. He was happy to join in the morning and I could see development every step of the way.
My 7 years old enjoyed the place and activities and always happy to go back.
Clean and very considerate care to the children and parent always meeting our needs and expectations. In addition the food is always great and meet great nutritional needs, always fresh and based on children needs and preferences.
Happy to recommend any time

My daughter has been going to Sophia for a couple of weeks now and she is settling very well. Sophia is very friendly, professional and very caring about her work. It's nice to see my daughter becoming very independent and enjoying her time.
I very highly recommend Sophia's daycare!
