Below are the latest reviews for Sandra . Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
My two children (age 6 and 3) have been attending Sandra's since August 2021 and they both absolutely love it there. Both kids settled in so quickly thanks to Sandra's caring nature and have been absolutely thriving since. They look forward to the days they attend Sandra's and ask regularly about going. This shows me how safe and comfortable they feel there. Sandra goes out of her way to make sure each child feels respected and happy. There are weekly groups she attends and lot of fun activities she organises to keep the little ones entertained whilst developing their skills through play. I could not recommend Sandra's childcare enough she has been great for our family and we appreciate all that she does.

I was a very nervous parent who had never sent my child anywhere apart from Nursery and even then I would pick my child up early every day. But when we met Sandra my little one just settled in right away no issues at all. And I was pleasantly surprised by it all. So I have to say Sandra is just a natural with kids and us parents who have all the concerns in the world about our kids.
I 100% would recommend Sandra to anyone she's has been an absolute blessing in disguise for our family in more ways than one.

Our daughter Bella has attended Sandra's childcare since before she was 1 year old and will continue to, until she starts school.
Bella loves going to Sandra and Scott's, and always has a great day! They do lots of lovely outings too, including book bugs and toddlers.
Sandra always sends pictures of what Bella has been up to that day and keeps us up to date, which is amazing! The kids always look to be having so much fun!
Would highly recommend 😀

My son Niall attended Sandra’s childcare from the age of 10 months until he was almost 3 years. Sandra made my transition of returning to work very easy, as she keeps in touch throughout the day and sends pictures of the children’s day. He loved it there so much that on some days he would come home and call me ‘Sandra’ and, he always talks about her when he is not with her. Sandra is extremely organised and, has the days planned for the children in advanced. Sandra was also a great support when it came to potty training. I can’t thank her enough for everything she has provided for my son whilst I wasn’t there. If I had to choose a childminder all over again, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Sandra.

Isla-Rose has been at Sandra and Scott's since she was
9 months old! She wakes up in the morning, now almost 2, full of excitement shouting "I GO TO SANDRAS!!!" She absolutely loves her time with Sandra and Scott. There is never a dull moment with walks in the park, toddler and book groups and the odd visit to castles, country parks and Zoos.
On rainy days there are dance parties in the living room and arts and crafts, I have a box full of creations to show for it, from calenders to paintings and Christmas decorations. All of which are fun and aimed at helping the children develop.
Sandra keeps me up to date with regulators and messages. She even send me pictures of Isla-Rose during the day of she does something new or cute. Sandra and Scott listen to how I deal with and tantrums or bad behaviours and this allows a consistent approach for my daughter out with my home, which is very important for her development.
Each child has a development folder with goals and notes on all the new things they can do.
I can't fault anything with the service I receive from Sandra and Scott and more importantly neither can Isla-Rose!
Sandra is also far cheaper than the nurseries I looked at and the family atmosphere is far better for children.
