We have been fortunate enough to find Sam Fisher to look after our son Noah for 2 days a week.

We had 2 or 3 childminders to meet before we made a decision of who we should ask to look after our little man. After meeting Sam ( the 1st person we saw) there was little point in seeing the others as our minds had pretty much been made up.

She is a wonderful, kind, engaging childminder who Noah loves spending time with. She updates his diary daily with what he has been doing and his reactions to things and circumstances. She also sends us pics on whatsapp of him during the day. They regularly go on outings and have a variety of activities. We honestly couldn't have wished to pick a better childminder. If I could rate 6 stars, I would.
