Choosing child care was very stressful for me. I was in the process of splitting up from my son's father and going back to work full time. Robin was 16 months old when we first started at Sam's.
From the moment we met Sam and saw her lovely home, Robin ran straight into the playroom to play. He didn't want to leave!That set the tone for us really...I would drop him off and he would run straight to the playroom to see all his new friends with hardly a backward glance for me!
Robin's confidence and social skills have developed enormously in the 2 years he has been with Sam. This comes from regular outings with other childminders and from the children in Sam's setting. Her genuine love for her job shines through and Robin frequently tells me how much he loves her!
Having 3 son's of her own means there's not much Sam doesn't know about raising children and I'm very grateful for the part she has played in helping me and Chris raise our son.
One of the best things about Sam's care is that they go out everyday..even in the rain!Lots of fresh air and fun means Robin sleeps like a top. I cannot recommend Sam highly enough. Her sons are a credit to her and the children are all so happy and settled.
