We had our son in a local nursery at 11 months old and our normally happy chirpy chap became introverted and sad and we decided we should look for a childminder. After looking at 4 childminders and Sandrine was heads and shoulders above the rest. We love the fact that she would get them out of the house everyday and take them to waky warehouse or a playgroup or playground which is exactly what our son needed. Although he was shy at the start, it did not take long for him to run off into the house before we had chance to collapse the pram. We would get detailed verbal reports at the end of each day, plus an electronic diary and occasional photos which was amazng. She would also cook lovely lunches and Tom's tried lots of new foods. Unfortunately with emigrating to Australia we only had the pleasure of Sandrine for a few months and I regret not finding her sooner as we could not have left our child in better hands and know I will struggle to find someone to fill her boots.
I can not recommend her highly enough and any child in Sandrine's care will be a very lucky child indeed.
