Sophie is the most wonderful childminder. Our son was in her care from 11 months - 2.5 years. She provides a home away from home where we knew our son was happy and cared for. Sophie builds such a lovely bond with the children she looks after and is so incredibly warm, caring and patient with them.

Sophie puts so much thought into the activities for the children; how they will encourage their development and support their learning. Our son loved all the creative play and making as well as lots of time outside in her engaging garden and allotment. Our son's development rocketed while with Sophie; a result of her attentive care and teaching. It's amazing that Sophie takes the children on days out, making the most of what’s in the local area and beyond, providing such an enriched experience. Communication is excellent and we received daily updates with pictures and a summary of the morning. Sophie always took time at the end of the day to pass on how the day has gone and any observations she’s made. Highly, highly recommend!!
