Sally is an outstanding childminder.
My daughter has been going to Sally's several days a week for more than a year now (she is now 20 months old). She loves it there. It is such a pleasure to see her jumping for joy when I tell her we are going there!
From day 1, I have been fully confident in Sally.
She creates an open, friendly environment where children play safely and build self-confidence. She proposes them various activities both indoors and outdoors. Her own children are very welcoming and play with smaller children as well.
Sally is also very flexible and does her utmost to meet parents' needs and schedule, even with very short notice.
I can only recommend Sally to anybody looking for a childcare!

My little girl is 14m at the moment and has been going to Sally everyday for a year now. She loves it there and is always happy to see Sally and reach our for cuddles.
Sally's own children are great with her when they are there too. She has also looked after my older girl (4yrs) every now and then which is a great help.
Sally is very caring and makes the children at home, also taking them out to playgroups and parks etc so there is a good social aspect. Most importantly they are happy and well cared for and very much at home with Sally. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a happy and friendly place to leave their child.
I have just read this to my oldest girl and she wants me to add that Sally is very good at playing!

My 2 year old daughter has been going to Sally's once a week for nearly a year now and she really looks forward to her time at Sallys.
My daughter is always happy and excited to see Sally and her children and to stay and play when I drop her off. I always feel at total ease leaving her knowing she is going somewhere where she feels safe but also has lots of fun too.
Sally is great with the children and really approachable too and I would 100% recommend her to anyone seeking child care.
