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

Sylvia looked after my two kids from 2015 to 2019, and even now that,my kids are grown up, I still drop them off during the holidays. I would definitely recommend this lady, she is experienced with kids, my kids absolutely love her, and used to look forward to going to her.

Thank you 😊
My son had been with Sylvia for about three years, he really enjoyed being with Sylvia which gave us peace of mind at work. Sylvia is very caring and always gives her full attention in every aspect of the child's growth, be it playing, eating, learning- everything really! My son is very respectful to elders, good with his eating habits, also excelling in his studies which all started from Sylvia. Thank you very much Sylvia for taking care of our son, we are forever grateful to you! :)

Thank you for taking your time to share this positive rating. I am delighted to hear that the care and early years education I provided is still making positive impact on your child's overall development and education.
Sylvia was a lifesaver. She was like another mother for my son when I was at work. I had piece of mind at work as I knew that she would do the right thing when needed. She is dedicated, committed and a great teacher. Thank you for all you’ve done for us.

Thank you so much for taking your time to leave a review and to rate my service. I enjoyed looking after your child.
It was the first time l used a childminder for my 3rd child. To be honest I was a little apprehensive but now I wish I had used Sylvia for my first two children. They would have really benefited from it more. Instead we juggled it between ourselves.
At all times l felt my daughter was safe and happy with Sylvia.

Thank you for chosing and using my service. I enjoyed looking after your child.
I have been using Sylvia's setting since 2015 for after school care for my daughter who is now 10 and my son from 3 years till when he was off to starting school. They both loved being there. Sylvia is warm and welcoming and has a great house full of educative toys to stimulate and develop little brains. Sylvia truly goes above and beyond and offers regular outings which give children the opportunity to explore and be adventurous. I would highly recommend Sylvia's setting as she cares a lot about the children in her care.

Thank you for choosing my service
I went to Sylvia with my son at the age of 8years till he was 11 years and as a working single mum working in the care sector, I started work pretty early and finished late. So I really relied on Sylvia to drop my son and pick him up from school and later drop him to the next minder. She was really gentle, caring and brought my son out of his shell. He still has memories of going to the indoor Skate park with Sylvia when I worked weekends. You went above and beyond the call of duty. THANK YOU😊

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to be part of bringing up your daughter. I extremely enjoyed looking after her.
5 stars
She is very good at taking care of children .my daughter gone till 2019 and she likes to go instead of school’s after clubs. She does many activities at home and will encourage to do what kids likes to do, will not force them.Sylvia has a lot of patience with children and very friendly with parents too and also will talk about the child’s activities and send us pics whenever we need. I will definitely recommend her.

Thank you for the review and for trusting me to look after your amazing daughter.
Sylvia is everything I hoped I'd find in a childminder. She put me and my daughter at ease immediately as this was my first time leaving her outside of family. My little angel loves being with Sylvia She is so patient and creates a fun and educational environment and is attentive to development opportunities and logs these, so I never feel I miss out on important milestones. I even get a lot of recommendations from her regarding developing her skills etc,. She is beautiful and humble human being. She kind, patient person and fantastic childminder. I am very glad we found her!...I would always recommend her to parents.

Thank you. I was a pleasure to look after your beautiful Daughter/Thank you for keeping intouch.
I was stress free when i had my little one with Sylvia. He was taken care of very well and also fed on time. I was sent pictures of his daily activities for which my mind was at rest knowing he is fine. She has helped in his development with playful activities. The setting is always nice and warm. Sylvia has a lot of patience with children and thats whats mainly required. As a parent she understood my concerns and has helped us by providing a place for our child. I will definitely recommend her.
