Sammy is amazing with my son. Really caring, fun, in a lovely home from home setting. Does lots with him, playing, playgroups, and other activities. My son gets upset when it’s pick up time. Having so much fun. He looks forward to the days he goes. So happy to have Sammy looking after him.

My daughter is very happy when in Sammy's care. The communication is great throughout the day, and is also happy to update in the day how she is getting on. She goes to the park, playgroup and the zoo and has a great time. Sammy also has next steps to support my daughters development.

Sadly my experience with this childminder was not positive. My son initially was not given a safe space to sleep, or adequate napping time for his age (12 months). Childminder communication was poor and left me feeling uneasy with leaving my children in their care, for this reason I terminated the contract early as I felt my children were less important than the money being made.

Very happy we found Sammy, She has put me at ease with the level of care my child receives whilst with her. My child is always happy around her and he has learnt so much already he never wants to leave when it's home time which speaks for itself. I'm glad we picked Sammy when looking for recommendations.
