I've been sending my little one to Sally's since she was 4 months old. And now she turns to one, Sally's is the second home for her, she loves every family member and they are super nice to her.
Sally work from Monday to Thursday ,and every morning they take the kids to the playgrounds, chssington adventures, pet shops ,gardens etc. my little one really enjoys it.
btw Sally always keep her house nice and clean.
Perfect childminder ,definitely recommended!!

We love having her here and can't believe how fast she is growing.
My twins have been going to Sally and Michael for almost a year now. They are a loving and caring family and my twins love going there.
The house is a stimulating environment full of lots of different interactive toys and activities. The outdoor area is fantastic and the jungle themed play area is brilliant. They are always making the most of the local area- regularly visiting parks and the river,
The meals and snacks are healthy and freshly prepared.
My twins have learnt so much since being with Sally and Michael which I see this when they are at home.
I highly recommend Sally and Michael as childminders.

Thanks Colleen,
The twins are great and we just love having them here.
They are learning so much and have made good friendships with the other children.
Sally and Michael are wonderful carers and our two year old has thrived in the year that he's been with them. The house is filled with lots of different toys and activities, the outdoor area is great, and they always take the kids on outings. During his time there, our son learned to count to 10, the alphabet, and his language and social skills increased exponentially. We were really sad to say goodbye and it's only because we relocated out of the area. Highly, highly recommended.

Thank you, he's such a lovely boy to look after.
My son has been with Sally and Michael for before and after school care and he has absolutely loved it. Starting school is already a big transition so I was anxious about introducing a new childcare set up for him to adjust to too but he settled straight away thanks to the welcoming space and kind care. There is so much at Sally and Michael’s house to entertain the children and it is a happy and vibrant place to play. I’d certainly recommend them and when my younger son starts school, I’m sure we’ll be back again!

My daughter has been with Sally and Michael for a year, before and after the school day. And she loves it. Sally and Michael have created a wonderful setting for the children with fantastic outdoor space, paint shed, play house etc.
In holidays they make the most of the local area, visiting Richmond and Bushy Parks and the river.
On a more practical level, Sally gives plenty of notice of her holidays which really helps with planning. And the house is always incredibly clean and tidy!

Thank you Alex,
she is a pleasure to look after.
Only have positive things to say about Sally and Michael. Will try not to write a book.
My daughter started at 7 months, almost 2 months before I started work, we made her go from 1 hour and gradually more and more to 21 hours per week. So we had no problems adjusting.
Sally is absolutely great with her, everytime our daughter sees her she gets so excited, she just loves being at Sally 's!
I always see the kids behaving well.
She takes the kids out for walks on a daily basis (unless weather is too bad of course)
Sally always makes super healthy foods, never gives sweets, only healthy alternatives. They are also great with dietary needs.
There are many toys and things to play with, and it's put so only the big and safe toys can be reached from the little ones.
The whole place is like a paradise to a child, especially the garden. And it's all made so its childproof and safe.
She makes sure the kids get their naps, even if our daughter can be really difficult to get to sleep.
They have pets, which for us is a big plus, as we can't have any here, and we want her to get the experience of growing up with animals too.
Sally and Michael has also been the best help when I was ill. They've come to pick my daughter up straight after my husband called to say I was ill. picked Jessica up in the morning and had her extra hours and brought her back later. They are just amazing.
Would give more stars if possible.

Thank you.
It's a joy to look after her she is learning so much every day :)
Sally and Michael have been looking after our daughter now for 3 years full time to start with and now before and after school. They are a great team - honest, friendly and well organised.
I particularly love how they make it their mission to ensure that the environment is fun and engaging for the children. Their creativity is amazing! They have a fabulous garden which include an art shed, sand and water play and a great selection of toys, books and games. It's obvious that they truly enjoy what they do and know each child inside out!
My daughter settled in really well and absolutely loves going to their house... in fact she never wants to leave!!! :-)

Thank you.
We love having her here, she is always full of fun and ready to play.
Our 3 year old girl has been going to Sally and Michael's for nearly two years. She really enjoys going, which was a massive relief after a not great experience at a local nursery. Our daughter particularly loves their garden which is incredibly well set up for kids with climbing frames, water play, sand play, painting and an "icecream shop". On rainy days they have a brilliant selection of games and books. We also really appreciate all the outings they take the kids on on. One thing we liked when looking for a childminder was the fact they have animals, as we wanted our daughter to get used to them. This has worked out really well as she used to be very scared of animals, and now loves them.

Thank you :)
We have enjoyed every day and are looking foreword to her baby sister joining her soon.
Sally and Michael are simply the best childminders I could have hoped for, for my daughter! They have been looking after Martha since September 2016, just before her first birthday and she simply loves going to their home, in fact I rarely get a kiss goodbye from her because she's raring to get in the door and go and play.
They have a great set up in their home, having basically turned it into a nursery. They provide home cooked meals for the children, as well as plenty of snacks. They have a huge amount of different toys, books and dressing up clothes for children of various ages to play with inside the house, as well as provision for different craft activities.
Their garden is simply to die for as it is very large and they have a playground area with slide and climbing apparatus in one part and then in an undercover area there is a ball pit and sand pits of different heights. There's also 2 small out buildings, one where the children can paint and do art work and another one that's set up like a little kitchen/play house. Finally, there are of course all of the lovely animals, which was what had initially attracted me to meeting Sally and Michael in the first place.
Even though Sally and Michael are set up with all these amazing things in the house, they usually take the children out and about in the morning which is terrific as it gives my daughter lots of different experiences, as well as that all important fresh air!
Sally and Michael clearly love their job and are extremely bubbly and enthusiastic. Their own children are just lovely and very well-mannered. They have clear rules and all the children I've met very obviously love being with them as much as Martha does. I simply can't recommend Sally and Michael highly enough, they are absolutely brilliant!!
