I would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for an experienced childminder. She has a lovely big house with large garden with lots of toys. She regularly takes my daughter to playgroups and brings back little arts and crafts they’ve done together. My daughter gets excited when I drop her off and sometimes gets upset when she has to leave which is a good sign that she enjoys her time with Sam! Sam is a very warm and friendly person who obviously loves children, she has a lovely family of her own who are all very good with young children which makes it a real home away from home setting, which was what I wanted for my daughter who started off going to Sam from 9 months. She also has a large folder of childcare certificates and paperwork to view and is quick to respond to any messages or queries. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Sam again if I go on to have another child.
