Our daughter has been with Sonya since she was 10 months old when I went back to work.

During that time Sonya has supported our family through my daughter learning to eat, to walk, to talk, to use the toilet, and through a pandemic!

As a result I can honestly say we have trusted Sonya with our lives, and she has been amazing.

It felt very quickly like we had established a parenting partnership, and Sonya has been instrumental in nurturing our daughter through her formative years.

Happiness

I know our daughter has a wonderful time with Sonya, not only from the regular updates that we get throughout the day, but because she runs in excitedly in to Sonya’s in the morning and can’t stop telling us about her day when she gets home. She regularly asks to go to Sonya’s on the weekend.

Education

Sonya follows the early years foundation. She has a great range of educational activities as well as play time resources, and I’m sure we owe our daughters good manners and grasp of numbers to Sonya’s teaching.

Food

Sonya cooks delicious meals from scratch and I know our daughter enjoys them. She is considerate of nutritional needs, avoids added sugars and checks with us before offering new foods.

Activities & Safety

I feel confident that Sonya always puts the children’s safety and happiness first, and I feel very happy knowing our daughter is doing fun activities with Sonya throughout the day.

Why we’re leaving

Recently Sonya has been helping our daughter develop her independence in preparation for nursery (she’s about to turn 3), and while she is ready to move on to nursery, I’m not sure I’m ready to leave Sonya and the comfort I have knowing our daughter is with her everyday.

We were hoping to send our youngest daughter to Sonya but we are moving away, and will be very upset to say goodbye to Sonya and her family.

We really couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
