Sandra has had my girls since 2018, (6 years).
She has been kind, organised, and welcoming.
She takes care of my girls like her own, goes above and beyond for them, she communicates effectively and efficiently, keeping us up to date with any changes.
There have been NO complaints from the girls.
Highly recommended.

Thank you so much I love having the girls š
Both my daughters have been with Sandra since they were babyās and I couldnāt be any happier with the care that she provided.
My children were treated with love & respect and were made to feel like part of her family. Sandra has a warm and welcoming but no nonsense approach which I believe makes her stand out from other childminders.
My children both love Sandra and we are all very disappointed that due to starting school and nursery they will no longer be in her care but I couldnāt recommend her enough to anyone looking for childcare.
Sandra is very good at keeping you updated on anything to do with your children and always tried her best to accommodate if I needed last minute childcare.

My little boy has been with Sandra for just less than a year now and he absolutely loves it, He really enjoys his time there and is usually crying when it's time to come home! I couldn't thank Sandra enough for being so amazing with him and helping him come on so much ā”

Aww thank you Nicole I love having him he makes my day with his big smile š
Sandra always went above and beyond for me and my children and my both my children were made to feel like part of the family. Both my girls loved the time they spent with Sandra and I would send them back in a heart beat.
Sandra sent regular diaries and would keep me updated on my childrenās activities and behaviour.
Sandra, treats all the children in her care like they are one of her own.
I canāt think Sandra enough for all the help she provided me with, she was always happy to help if I needed last minute childcare.

Thank you niki for your lovely review your two children are amazing I miss them and there big smiles so much I will have them back in a minute šā¤
From the first day we went to meet Sandra both my kids aged 4 took to her straight away. Her kindness and welcoming family made them feel very much at home. Didnāt take them long to find the toys ! When I drop them in the morning they bolt in and shout bye mum!
Sandra always goes above and beyond for all the kids, and this shows. Fabulous

Sandra started looking after my daughter in August and she has settled in really well. She loves playing with the 2 other girls there and Sandra's children are all fantastic with her. My daughter has a few health issues and Sandra has dealt with them amazingly š

Sandra has been truly a star for me. Was needing a childminder very quickly and came across Sandra's page. On the first meeting with Sandra with my 6year daughter she made us feel like home and when it was time to leave my daughter didn't want to go cause she was having so much fun!
Lucy has settled in so well and loves going before and after school. Sandra send me daily diaries and has a great bond with Lucy. She gets on really well with Sandra's family and loves spending time with them, they treat her like one of the family. I am so Thankful for Sandra's help.

Aww thank you kellie for the lovely review love having lucy in my care she has settled into the route well and gets on well with all the children here
My two kids go to Sandra two days a week, my 2 year old is not used to being away from us and Sandra has dealt with her amazingly. She has allowed her the time to settle on her own and after 3 weeks she is fine. Sandra sends daily diaries to update us on what the kids have been doing and they are great to read, she has made returning to work hassle free for my wife and we couldn't ask for a more amazing childminder, she treats the kids as one of her own and the kids have a great bond with her.
