We moved our son to Sam after a really negative experience with another local childminder. Since being with Sam he returned to the happy young man we knew. I felt confident in leaving him with Sam and some days, instead of waiting at the door for me, I would have to go in for a half an hour chat while he finished playing!
Sam has provided excellent care for J and he always comes home happy and content. She has a really good manner with the children and reinforces positive behaviour. Her two daughters are testament to her skills as both a parent and childminder. They play with J and are fantastic role models for him.
Sam has been really flexible with the childcare she offers and has always done her best to fit around our busy and ever changing schedules.
J says his favourite thing about going to Sams is his friends and the wooden trains! Sam always shapes the play and learning around the children's interests. J is now down to 1 day a week and almost ready for school. We are very grateful for the support Sam has given us with J over the last year+.
