Sandra has been looking after our daughter for 2.5 years now and my daughter absolutely loves her. She always returns home with a big smile on her face!
Sandra is very caring and organised, she is super easy to work with.
We feel so lucky to have her!

Sandra looked after my little boy full time from age 1 to 2.5yrs and he loved his time in her care. She always had a great routine with morning activities / group outings and afternoon naps which my son always needed as he is so active. Sandra has fantastic crafty ideas and garden toys/equipment to keep them all busy whatever the weather. She even helped my son learn how to count in Spanish! He often cried when I came to collect him as he loved it there so much. Thanks for your great service Sandra :)

Sandra was very good to my daughter. She helped us during settling and hard time. My daughter loved to go there and played with kids. Sandra has her own daughter that was very useful during school holiday as my daughter loved to play with her. My daughter was with her from 2 years old until 3,5, full time. And Sandra was always polite and very detailed.

Sandra is such a lovely person and great childminder.
The settling period was very smooth and our little one accommodated so well.
My son always looks forward going to Sandra every day, and there were times when he did not want to leave her to come back home :).
They do plenty of creative and playful activities, and he really enjoys himself.
They also play a lot in her friendly garden and always have fun activities.
We are so grateful to Sandra and we highly recommend her as a childminder :)

My daughter has been going to Sandra full time since she was 17 months and I cannot fault her. Sandra is a fantastic childminder who does the best for all the children in her care. Every day is fun and well thought out with written feedback each day. Regular play groups and outings means my daughter has experienced playing with a wide group of children in a variety of new places. My daughter has flourished and come on in leaps and bounds since going to Sandra and learns so much. She was settled and felt comfortable with her since day one and absolutely adores her. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I have used Sandra as the childminder for my daughter from the time she was 9 months old.I am a single working parent and having dependable childcare is essential. I cannot express how happy I have been with her. Her setting is a small family home with many toys, activities and challenges for my little one. She regularly takes the children to childminding groups, activites and playgroups in the area. My daughter is now doing the EYFS curriculum with her and will be going to school in the autumn. My little girl sees Sandra as a 2nd parent and I recommend her to anyone wishing for dependable childcare with someone who really cares for children.
Thank you

I cannot recommend Sandra highly enough. I am actually very surprised nobody else has written a review for her.
She is a very kind, loving, fun, sweet and experienced childminder who has been great for our 2 year old boy. As in the past we had negative experiences with other childminders, I have really noticed the difference between Sandra and our past failed 'attempts'.
My son looks forward going to Sandra every single day, and there were several episodes when he did not want to leave her to come back home. They do plenty of creative and playful activities, and he really enjoys himself.
The settling in period was dealt with very sensitively and it didn't take long for my son to fall in love with Sandra, her daughter and all the children there. Actually they 'clicked' almost instantly. It's a complete Godsend to know that when I drop my son off, I have total faith that he is safe, happy, stimulated, having fun and loved. I can only hope this relationship will continue in the future.
Sandra will devote herself fully to your children, with all her heart and experience. What else can you ask for from somebody who is looking after your child for longer hours than you'll do?
