Sally stayed at our holiday caravan with our son while we attended a wedding. She was flexible when we were running late, brought lots of toys for our son so we didn’t have to travel with them, and the next morning he raved about his time with Sally. Would highly recommend! Thank you, Sally!

It was a pleasure to care for your little boy.
I now know all about dinosaurs. He’s a great teacher
Thank you for choosing my services
Having not used a childminder for my daughter before , I was apprehensive but I couldn't be more pleased. Sally has been excellent from the start, reassuring and professional and my little girl says she is amazing! Sally fills the day with activities and my daughter loves telling me what they have been doing. I highly recommend anyone needing a childminder to contact Sally, I am so happy as a parent that my little girl is well cared for and enjoys going to Sally. She keeps me informed of activities and takes a real interest in my daughters likes so that her day can be fun and interesting. I really can't recommend her highly enough!

Sally and her colleague Michelle looked after our friends' kids at our wedding. They did such a great job meaning that all the parents could fully relax and enjoy themselves, and our friends told us that Sally and Michelle filled them with confidence based on how capable, friendly and helpful they were.

Thank you.
We lovely looking after the children.
We recently used Sally to babysit for our son (14 months) and our nephew (20 months) for two evenings at Cley Windmill for our wedding.
Simply put - Sally was amazing. Prompt, lovely, experienced and very capable. I was unsure of booking a stranger from a website to look after the boys, but Sally immediately put us at ease and did such a wonderful job looking after two overtired toddlers! Our only regret is that she doesn’t live nearer to us so that we can use her all the time.
Thank you Sally!

Thank you so much for the lovely review.
It was a pleasure to care for the boys son that you could enjoy your wedding
Sally was very quick to respond to my request to find a babysitter in Holt for my two young girls. As she said in her blurb, Sally offers childcare for weddings so that the parents can relax and enjoy the day and that is exactly what she did. I didn't worry for one moment on Saturday evening. I highly recommend Sally in Holt! Thanks Sally : )

You are very welcome, it was a pleasure to look after you little boy.
Because it was our first meeting, Sally arrived earlier than her 'start' time to allow for a quick introduction/handover, and so I think we were out of the door ahead of schedule which is always a bonus!
We felt very confident leaving Sally in charge of our 4yo and 3yo and didn't have any concerns whatsoever throughout the night, so we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. To us this meant it was well worth the (modest) fee to have Sally babysit for us.
I'm already looking forward to our next evening out, and Sally will be the first babysitter we call.

Sally came to our B&B and babysat our 2 year old when we attended a local wedding in Norfolk.
She was very flexible with timings and accommodated a last minute change in both start time and end time of the session, which was greatly appreciated.
