We cannot thank Salomi enough for the incredible care and attention she has given to our daughter. When Niamh first started, she was very shy and deeply attached to her mother, but thanks to Salomi’s nurturing approach, she has blossomed into a confident and sociable little girl. Salomi’s warm and patient manner has worked wonders in helping Niamh come out of her shell, and we are amazed at how far she has come. We feel so fortunate to have found Salomi, and we are deeply grateful for the positive impact she’s had on Niamh’s development.
Thank you, Salomi, for everything you do!

Thank you so much 🙏🏽
We started with Sal at 10 months and appreciate the comfortable and clean enviornment.
My son enjoys his time with Sal and the other children, as well as the trips to the park and the library.
Sal is very caring and sends lovely pictures of the days activities.
She also gives helpful recommendations to help my son get more comfortable and we appreciate that.

Salomi is absolutely great! My son spends most of his day with Sal and he has shown so much improvement in his social and motor skills and he has become independent with a lot of things he would usually expect me to do for him. I can go to work feeling secure because I know my son is happy and safe.

Once I met Salomi for a tour, I knew that “she is the one for us” as being stressed about early return to work, Salomi provided so much information and reassurance, kindly answered all my questions and etc. that I’ve concluded Anna will be in the right place.
We started childcare since Anna was 9mth old, Salomi’s individual approach is especially remarkable her recommendations are very practical, handy and useful as we went through crawling/walking/teething all together.
Anna absolutely loves going and always goes in with a massive smile on her face. For myself as a working parent, knowing that she is happy and being really well cared for is such a fantastic support.

Thank you so much for your kind words.
My daughter, Maisie, is 3 years and half old, and absolutely love Salomi. What a good feeling to know that she is looked after and loved. Why? Because she can't wait to go to hers. Yesterday she been drawing her, also she goes to sleep saying goodnight to her and her friends that goes there. (Without asking or questioning)
Salomi she is such a lovely, smart, and caring person.
Always makes time to talk about my little one day and also send me pictures that literally melts my heart.
Maisie looks to be busy there with coloring, going to the parks, playing games that's helping her development.
Thinking now that one day, Maisie will be big enough and she will go to school and she may not attend to Salomi..Salomi will be forever part of our life!
I can't thank her enough!

Thank you for a such a lovely review
Sal is professional in her approach and is very conscious about hygiene. My daughter really enjoys the time she spends with Sal and has made friends with the other children. She is always happy to go there. It is great that Sal's kids engage with the little ones and my daughter has formed relationships with them.
There are always lots of activities to do and Sal makes sure to keep you informed of what they have done and sends pictures. I find that really helpful and reassuring, particularly in the early days when my daughter first started and was settling in.
This is a good place to be in and I am glad we chose it.

Sal is an excellent childminder. She had helped my daughter adapt to her setting as quickly as she could; she has also helped her progress in so many ways.

Salomi provides highly professional service for our daughter. She is loving, friendly and passionate about her job and improvements our daughter has made during past few months are incredible. If you’re looking for something more than “just a playtime” for your children, definitely choose Salomi’s care. 10/10!

Salomi provides a home from home environment. She has provided me with very flexible and reliable childcare. My son is very active and she manages to keep him entertained and is always out and about doing lots of activities to keep him busy. He has come on leaps and bounds since being with Salomi and looks forward to going there everyday. She is kind and caring and provides lots of advice.

I was delighted when Salomi said she was able to look after my son as I've known her for many years and know her to be an extremely dedicated and experienced childminder. My son loves spending time in her home as she's so warm and kind. I would highly recommend her!
