Sofia is an amazing childminder. Right from our first visit to her lovely home, I knew she was exactly who I wanted to care for my daughter.

My daughter has blossomed since being in her care. From being an extremely fussy eater, she now eats a variety of foods and I can only put this down to Sofia's easy-going and patient approach, as well as her focus on good, home-cooked food and wellbeing. My daughter frequently tells me what is healthy and good for her and this is thanks to Sofia.

Friends of mine who have seen my daughter out with Sofia remark on what a great childminder she is and they and my family say I'm very lucky to have found her.

From strawberry picking to visiting a castle at Halloween and weekly visits to the museum and library (plus all the playgroups in between), the variety of activities Sofia does with the children is extensive and the diary and photos are perfect for keeping us up to date.

Sofia is very reliable, very friendly, very kind and very welcoming. I cannot sing her praises enough.
