Very highly recommend Sylvia. She has been amazing with both my boys and my youngest was with her from 6 months until he started school. I skipped preschool with him because Sylvia was that good. Best decision I ever made. He was totally ready for school and has made an excellent start and has impressed his teachers with all he learnt from Sylvia. Her home is truly a home away from home. My son has so much love for Sylvia and still talks about her and misses her dearly. Takes lots and lots of photos and does so many different activities with the children. Plenty of outside space to play and lots of imagination toys on offer as well as learning tasks. My son was always running to Sylvia's door of a morning and ran off without saying goodbye most mornings - just because he was that excited to be with her. Definitely some outstanding childcare offered!
Thank you Sylvia, truly x

Thank you very much!😊. I thoroughly enjoyed looking after your boys and being part of your youngest learning journey.
Slvia was an absolute gem as our daughter's childminder. From day one, she created a warm, nurturing environment where our little one felt completely at home. Sylvia's genuine care, patience, and dedication are evident in the way she engages with our daughter, made each day full of fun and learning. It's a comfort to know she was in such capable and loving hands. Highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone truly special!"

Sylvia is an excellent childminder. My daughter had a great time with her. Sylvia was caring and communicative, sending lots of photos and videos. She also takes the kids on outings, often at the park and local library story time.

Sylvia has been foundation Childcare for my child and she has lot of positive influence on my child. She is patient and loving. Very understanding and supportive of early Childcare. It was stress free once my child was at her place. Her place has a homely vibe where kids are free to play in a safe environment.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you,
Shweta
