There are childminders and there are Super childminders and Sally and Michael definitely are the latter. Their entire house is transformed into a mini nursery which in fact has more facilities/toys than nurseries themselves (our older sons nursery didnt have even half as much stuff). Our 16 month old son has been going there since he turned one and he settled very quickly. He loves playing with all the toys. soft play etc and he is looked after really well.
Sally caters to all dietary needs and that was especially comforting for us as our son does have allergies/reflux to deal with. Being one of 8-9 kids is also great vs the much bigger numbers at nurseries.
We were looking to get a nanny to get personal attention but are actually so happy we chanced upon Sally's and wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
