I met with so many childminders before finding Sofia and James but no one was the right fit. When I first went to meet them, the way they interacted with my daughter and built a rapport with her so quickly put me at ease straight away and I knew they were the people I would trust with my child. I’m happy to say that I’ve never regretted that decision. They are professional, caring, flexible, and reliable. I couldn’t say enough good things about them!

The main thing to say is that my daughter thrived with them. Sofia and James understood her and cared about her as an individual and knew how to support her to develop and shine. I always felt they worked with us, and supported what we were trying to do at home, so she had consistency.

James and Fia have backgrounds in teaching and early years. This really comes across in the way they communicate with the children and understands their needs. They also put so much work into making their setting really tailored to young children, working on different themes and skills as appropriate to the children in their setting. They are clearly passionate about their work and it is more than ‘just a job’ to them.

Fia and James always prepared home cooked food so I knew that she was eating well when she was there which was important to me.

I really couldn’t recommend them enough and I’m so grateful for the way they took care of my daughter.
