    The team are inviting and attentive but also help kids learn social skills. The kids were consistently well fed and often would be more adventurous with new foods at childcare centre than at home. The assistance through the pandemic was outstanding. When I needed urgent childcare in a family crisis, the team made an extra effort to accommodate my kids. Sandfield Day Childcare centre have looked after my kids from babies and it has been a second home for them.

    We could not have chosen a better setting to send our daughter to. She absolutely loves every day in ladybirds two, and I often have to take her home in tears because she wants to stay. It’s like her second family. Every single member of team is exceptional.

    The team were enormously compassionate and supportive during the settling-in period and have got to know her truly well. Updates is outstanding, and we consistently get a thorough handover at the end of the day about how she has been. It’s made my return to work so much better knowing she’s in secure and loving hands. Her key worker has shown genuine delight and pride in her when she has hit new milestones like standing, walking and saying her first words, and it is highly clear that my daughter adores her. We have been thrilled with Sandfield Childcare centre for our one-year-old daughter.

    I was nervous about my daughter starting childcare centre, but needn’t have been. Sandfield’s team were so supportive and genuine throughout her setting in, and my daughter has thrived since starting. She has learnt so much and absolutely loves coming in. She consistently has a smile on her face. I have self‑assurance in the team – they all have the kids’s best interest at heart and go above and beyond! Everyone knows my daughter’s name, which feels so personable and her allergies have also been exceptionally well catered for. She is so well looked after her. We adore it. I would definitely suggest Sandfield to anyone.

    She is cheerful to go there in the morning and cheerful when we pick her up again. The team are super welcoming, consistently great at welcoming her and us in the morning and also informing us on how her day has been. The space is lovely, colourful and bright, with lots of excellent playtime areas – and often new themes, decorations and toys to attract the kid’s attention and discovering new stuff. We couldn’t think of a better place for our daughter to be. We adore having our daughter at Sandfield.

    We have been with Sandfield since 2018, with our second daughter starting just before Christmas. The team there is what makes this place what it is; a inviting, nurturing setting that allows the kids to grow socially, emotionally and academically. From the manager to the practitioners and supporting team, they all playtime a key role in ensuring the kids get the best possible deal. The childcare centre is a logistical nightmare for us to get to, but we have made that sacrifice because we have not been able to find a childcare centre that comes even close to what we get at Sandfield. The space the kids have inside and out is exceptional, the activities that are provided are enjoyable and stimulating, the food is outstanding, and the care they provide is nothing short of incredible. In our four years there, we have never had a single thing to complain about. I would 100% suggest this childcare centre. What a special place Sandfield is.

    My son attended here from the age of 1 until pre-school, and I had no hesitation in sending my daughter here. She started at the age of 9 months and has just turned two. My kids’s development has been exceptional whilst attending Sandfield. The team picked up an eye condition my son devolved at the age of one, and we’re outstanding with his ongoing eye care and patching.
    The team at Sandfield are familiar and welcoming faces who are consistently welcoming. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
    My daughter loves going to childcare centre as there is consistently lots going on, and she loves the team; my son still likes to go in and visit everyone at pick-up time. I have nothing but outstanding comments for this childcare centre.

    We have all had such a remarkable six years and we are highly emotional that our journey has now come to an end. Sandfield have truly given my kids the best start and I would highly suggest them to anyone! Both my daughter and son spent four years at Sandfield and I cannot thank them enough for the incredible care and assistance they gave both our kids and to myself.

    They have been so highly supportive and adaptable – it has honestly made a difficult time in our lives that little bit easier. All of the team make an effort to say hello, and they know your kids. My kids sense secure and comfortable there, which makes dropping them off and the parent guilt everyone feels a lot easier. I have a kid in pre-school who has thrived through the years he has been at the childcare centre. He loves being there, and I can already see how he is being prepared for the next transition to school. I also have a son in the Caterpillar’s room, and the ladies in here are incredible. They care for your kid with such adore and compassion. Consistently there with a cuddle if they are upset. They also care for you as a parent, sticking to our routine and never being too busy to update us on how the kid is. On top of that, the supporting team are exceptional, and the manager consistently has time for you. We are so grateful for Sandfield Day Childcare centre. I can not praise and suggest this childcare centre enough.

    They are creative in how they entertain the kids, attentive and compassionate. We receive regular updates on our little one’s development and have been truly pleased with how she has settled into the childcare centre. The team in Ladybirds one have been outstanding.

    Both our kids have gone here (five years old now in Reception at Primary School), and the three-year-old is still here. I can’t speak highly enough about all the team, absolutely every member of them is so lovely, so attentive, so thoughtful with the kids. It is like sending them to a family member, rather than a childcare centre. The food is healthy and consistently prepared with the childrens nutrition at the heart of it (with the odd biscuit here or there!), down to Birthday cakes on their birthdays. They honestly are the best – highly gutted they don’t do after-school club for our 5-year-old or he would be there in a heartbeat! Adore, adore, adore this childcare centre. We adore, adore, adore this childcare centre!

    We couldn’t have asked for a better place for her, and we were so lucky to be there. The team is engaged, inviting and attentive, and they know all the kids so well! Our daughter has been in Sandfield day childcare centre for 4-years, and we have consistently been highly pleased with the care she has been receiving over that time at every stage.

    I don’t think we could have asked for a better childcare centre, and all the team are simply incredible. We miss them dearly.
    The team truly put the effort in to get to know your kid and are consistently there to help out. Our son has been exceptionally cheerful throughout his stay at Sandfield, and we have been most impressed at how the childcare centre adjusted over the Covid pandemic. Excellent team and a lovely and nurturing setting. The Sandfield team has been super with our little boy.

    The childcare centre went above and beyond in making sure the kids were secure and in a cheerful setting throughout the pandemic. The updates we received was outstanding. Our daughter has a fantastic relationship with all the team. She has also made strong friendship bonds with her peers. All the team are attentive, supportive and nurturing. They give cuddles (which our daughter loves) and genuinely take interest in all of the kids. We sense cheerful with all the adore and care our daughter has received. She is now a confident young girl, who is ready to go to reception! – and we have the childcare centre to thank for this! Highly suggest Sandfields. Thank you for being part of our journey, and our daughter will consistently remember her time in Sandfields fondly. Our daughter started in Sandfields in the midst of the Covid pandemic.

    They’re highly compassionate/attentive for the kids. Consistently new activities and looking after them. Daily report for their feeding, activity and what they learn today. Finally, excellent facilitates for the kids. Excellent and welcoming team.

    The team have been fantastic throughout. She is clearly thriving and growing with every move up, as she should be. The setting is highly personal, and everyone deeply cares about the kids. She loves the team dearly, and we are highly lucky to have found such a excellent childcare centre for her. Our daughter has now been at Sandfield Day Childcare centre for a year; she is moving to her third room next week.

    The team that work there are all welcoming and supportive, from the ladies doing the admin side to the key workers and assistance workers, kitchen team to the cleaning team who come in at the end of the day. Every single member consistently greets myself and my daughter with a smile and a cheery hello, even if they do not directly look after my daughter.
    The room team are exceptional at keeping the kids entertained, and the activities they come up with are consistently enjoyable and engaging. The development I have seen in my daughter since starting it is incredible. The food is outstanding and consistently gets demolished by my daughter, which is a excellent sign!
    I can not suggest Sandfields highly enough – thank you for all your hard work. Sandfield Day Childcare centre is an outstanding childcare centre and is highly well run in all aspects.

    He started in the baby room Caterpillars and now is in Ladybirds 2. They keep a log of my son’s day and post it on the app, so I can log in and see what he is doing. Lovely to see photos of my son at childcare centre. There are flexible if you want to change days from full time to 4-days. The meals are nutritious, and they give medicines if needed without any fuss. There are designated drop off car spaces outside the childcare centre. Opening hours are flexible for working parents; 7 am-6:30 pm. I would suggest. My son is truly cheerful here, and the team are attentive.

    He has been in two rooms and has flourished in both, particularly the development of his updates skills.
    The activities he takes part in are exceptionally well thought out in terms of allowing him to be creative and to express himself, something he brings home with him all the time, and I have seen first hand the attention the team give him and the freedom they give him to explore and learn.
    We receive updates on his activities through the app, and the quality and detail provided are exceptional. We sense like we’ve shared in some of his activities through these updates, and it’s hard to overstate how much we value these.
    I cannot thank the team at Sandfield enough for their patience, assistance, excellent humour and the focus they give to my son’s development. My son has been with this childcare centre for many months, and the development of his self‑assurance is remarkable.
