Since starting with Coutts Childcare our son’s confidence and independence is going from strength to strength, he is excited to see Samantha at drop off and is happy with his day at pick up. We feel this is a calm and supportive setting and really like Samantha’s approach. Highly recommend.

Thank you for your review.
It is a joy seeing his face light up when he arrives, a pleasure working with yourself and your son.
I've had the privilege of knowing Samantha for 8 months now since moving from London to Essex which was quite hard for me. I have a son who's now 3 and I'm a single mum. When I first registered on this site to find the right childminder for Harrison she stood out among the others. She read my profile with empathy and it wasn't just pound signs for her or just another child it was to help. She has such a warming kindness which is rare to find and endearing. She has a lovely welcoming approach, shes got a really nice spacious play area for the kids and a beautiful garden with lots of plants, herbs and veg for the kids to eat, feel, smell and learn about including yucky worms and spiders but hey, as long as they dont come home in his bag I'm happy Hahaha. She really is exceptional and Harrison is so happy when he is there more so than being with me sometimes.
The reason I'm writing this is so that more parents can get a better understanding of her character and how brilliant she is at her job. She's a wonderful teacher to him and gives the best cuddles which to me is really refreshing. Shes outspoken and easy to approach. I'm so lucky to have her in our lives and maybe other parents will too

thank you for the review, it's been a pleasure getting to know you both
Very professional service from start to finish. Coutts daycare helped me at very short notice. Excellent communication with pics of the daily activities of your child. Her surroundings ate very clean , tidy and organised. Most importantly kids are happy there. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great childminder
