Sophie has taken care of my son from the age of 11 months - 2 years old; we are only leaving her because we’re relocating outside of London, otherwise I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

She has provided Rory with fantastic love and care and has had a hugely positive impact on his development. Each day he comes home having had a lovely time at play groups, out in the park, playing with his favourite toys or making crafts on rainy days. Her communication is fantastic and we always know what he’s up to or if there are any problems.

Through the challenges of COVID she has provided him with a safe haven whilst my husband and I (both key workers) were at work. He has been treated as part of their family and chatters happily about her two boys as well as Sophie herself.

As a first time mum returning to work Sophie made me feel safe and calm about the settling in process, which made the end of my maternity leave much easier.

I would not hesitate to recommend Sophie incredibly highly to anyone looking for a full time childminder or wrap around care for school or nursery.
