Sophie has been looking after our son for over 4 months from when our son was 1 and I returned to work from maternity leave. She made the settling in process (that I have to admit, I was dreading) so easy and our son settled in straight away which made it easier for me to get back into work again knowing that he was happy and well cared for.

Sophie and her family make our son feel so welcome and at home and he lights up when he sees them.

Sophie always has fun activities or play groups planned for the children that have really contributed to our son’s confidence and development.

Sophie keeps us regularly updated not only about what they are doing, eating and when he is sleeping but also about what skills he has developed and achieved. We also love receiving pictures of our son enjoying the activities with the biggest smile on his face.

Our son also has a milk allergy and is currently on the milk ladder and Sophie has been great dealing with this.

I would certainly recommend Sophie as childminder.
