Always a smile on arrival when I drop my son off. He loves it there and is taken care of well. Sandra has gone the extra mile for me and my son and I really appreciate all her support and everything she has taught my son. I love the online facility, it is an amazing resource and allows me to see what my son is up to everyday (real time)- I cannot put a price on this! The pictures are lovely to see and gave me immediate reassurance in the early days when it was hard to leave him and go to work.
The set up is lovely, with the additional branded bus! The children go out regularly, not like in nurseries and this really drew me to Sandra's services. In fact that is where I met her at the local library, so when I was looking for childcare, I had already seen how she looked after children well before I was even looking - so it was an easy choice for me.
I love seeing my son and the children go on the days trips with their branded hi-vis jacket.
I highly recommend Sandy Dee Littles stars. It is obvious that Sandra has put her heart and soul her company. Thank you Sandra xx

Thank you so much for your review.
Sandra
Outstanding Services from Auntie Sandra as my children call her. She has given a fantastic early start for our two girls starting from 2018 and the second in 2021. Very professional in all her services yet humble, caring and absolutely motherly. She’s given our daughters a great start into their educational career and empowered them to be more independent and social. Times where we both were caught up at work, Aunty Sandra has always been there for the girls and has never let us down. We have always recommended her to friends and family who have availed and still using her services. Keep up the fantastic work you are doing to our children and community at large!

My two sons have been with Aunty Sandra for 10+ years and counting she is one of the most caring, kind, thoughtful and generous lady myself and my kids have ever known. I pick and drop my child off at her door greeted by a warm smile knowing there are safe and in for a joyous time.
Thank you Aunty Sandra!!
May God bless you in abundance

Thank you for lovely review
Sandra
My son started at Sandys in 2022 and his progress since then has been amazing. He's is confident, sociable and us dry during the days and nights because of help from Sandy. The setting is clean and there is a specific indoor and outdoor space for the children. My son is excited to go into the setting each morning because of the many activities they do during the day. Sandy also uses the babydays app which allows you to stay updated on your child during the day. I don't worry about my son whilst at work as I know he is being taken care off. We didn't just find an amazing childminder, we also found a new family member. I would definitely recommend Sandy.

Thank you very much lovely feedback
Sandy is an amazing exceptional childcare provider, she is the best decision I have made for my daughter marvelous. Sandra is caring, friendly and flexible which was very important for me when searching for a childcare setting. Sandra has a lot of weekly outdoor activities planned for the kids. Sandra makes sure my daughter is always happy and settled and she is always excited to go to Sandra, my transition from mum of one to two had been easy because of Sandra flexibility, she picks up my daughter and drops her off. My daughters speech, personality has greatly improved since she started with Sandra. Am very happy and satisfied with the care my daughter is receiving from Sandra and her assistant and WILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND SANDY CHILDCARE.

Thank you very much lovely feedback.
Thank you Sandra for the BEST childcare for both my boys Kahn from 5 months and Tai 5 years old!!
Kahn is now 9 and top of his class and always has been excelling at school (we always giggle and say it’s because he went to Sandra’s childcare as a baby) ☺️ I remember he learned so much with you. And Tai (now 15) always had amazing handwriting at school it was always so neat and he says he learned at yours you had them practice handwriting! ☺️ highly highly recommended. I always felt as though my boys were looked after as well they would be at home. Your home is amazing for kids especially the garden area perfectly built for little kids and older ones! My kids were always safe, clean and happy. God bless always Sandra! We miss you 🥰

Thank so much its a pleasure working with you & your princess. x
Sandra is an amazing person. She was recommended to me by another parent and I am so happy with the recommendation.
Sandra offers outstanding childcare services in a very clean environment. My daughter is so happy and loves spending her day at Sandra's. She has learnt a lot since she started there .
Each day is like no other because there is always a variety of activities for her. Sandra takes the children out to various places and this has really helped in building my little girl's confidence. I feel very relaxed and happy going to work ,knowing that my daughter is in good hands.
I will always recommend Sandra to anyone who wants the best experience for their child.
Many thanks Sandra for taking care of my little girl!

Thank you so much it was lovely looking after her and working with you x
Sandra,apart from being a lovely lady she is very caring and attentive to the children/parents concerns and worries. My son had a lot of fun while with Sandra,she takes them to loads of fun places and teach them loads of stuffs. Very dedicated to the children in her care, for her its just not a job because she loves what she is does with a passion and she is also very considerate of her clients pockets. One of our biggest mistake was taking him away to nursery because it was closer to the house and because of our previous experiences with other minders. But with our second child now, we are looking forward to going back to Sandra!! TRY HER SHE IS THE BEST!!
