Our son Will has had the most amazing time at Mini Moons over the last three years. He started with Sam & Billy when he was 18 months old, and right from the beginning it felt like he became part of the family. His relationship with their daughter Penny has also been so special, and he’s absolutely loved coming each week.

One of the things we really appreciated was how thorough and reassuring Sam was at the end of every day and in her updates through the tiney app. We always knew exactly what Will had been up to, how he was doing, what he’d eaten and any little milestones he’d hit. They also took him on some brilliant trips including London Zoo, Leeds Castle and Legoland.

Their home is fab for kids, including an amazing garden which Will loved especially during the summer months. The whole setup really gave him that ‘home from home’ feeling, which has been so important for him. He started out as a very shy little boy, but thanks to Sam & Billy, he’s grown into a confident, happy 4 year old ready for school!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’re so grateful for the care that Sam, Billy and Penny have given Will over the last few years. They’ve given him the best possible start, and we’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for a brilliant childminder.
