My Son is still currently at cheeky monkies, however will be starting school in September, he has been attending since he was 9 months old. From day one i felt confident and reassured by what Sam did for Ethan she logged everything when he was a baby in his own books each day he was there. So i knew what he had , when he slept ect and I was not worrying about his routine, Sams house and family are wonderful and they a great play room plus educational. Ethan has regular items from Sam which help him with his speech he has made great progress, his singing and learning words has come on over these past few months and this is down to Sams efforts and how she understand what each child struggles with and does everything she can to help them. Sam also plans special days out and they have regular days out which include play and education, Ethan cant wait to come home to tell me everything that they have done and seen. Sam is very flexible and fits to what schedule I have and this has been like this for 4 years, there is always enough time if Sam books holidays for myself to sort any other arrangement out but this is never a problem. There is no other childminder I would rather of chosen to take care and tech Ethan. The best thing is knowing when I leave him I don’t have to worry, knowing that he has fun and he learns so much when he is there he has made several friends some still there and some have left. Sam brings all the children together no matter what age group. I know Ethan will be sad to leave Sam full time as they have become so close and for Ethan to trust her the way he does makes me feel safe in knowing that he is. I would recommended Sam to anybody I know, she has been a great credit to Ethan’s Progression and I know there is much more in the future, I so happy with Sam and thank her for everything she has done for myself but mainly Ethan.

My son attended Cheeky Monkies childcare for nearly 3 years and was very happy,settled and thrived in the child friendly environment provided by Sam. For example; my son speech and walking development much improved. He was entertained and stimulated by different activities in and out her home including a playroom,twice weekly play groups, outdoor play/climbing frames,trips out and environmental visits ie. plane spotting,baking, soft play centre, beach and zoo. Theo has behaviour problems and he responded very positively to Sam's behavioral reinforcement tactics for example; time out. I personally found Sam a great with Theo behaviour and owe her many thanks. Sam was always very well prepared and looked after my son like he was her own. To this day at aged 5years old Theodore still speaks about Sam and her family. I would recommended Sam every time and insure your child is in great care at Cheeky Monkies.

My grandson attended Cheeky Monkeys Childminding run by Samantha Wallwork for approx 16 mths. 
During this time he was extremely well cared for by Sam. Sam is a very caring person easy to talk to and interested in how my grandson was. I found her to be very efficient and professional . 
Sam was always prepared for all activities and provided all necessary equipment. eg sun cream and hats if I had forgotten them. She even provided animal costumes when they attended a fund-raising event. 
I had a report every day when he was picked up eg what he had eaten , toilet movements ,any naps he had had and general info on the day. My grandson thrived while in her care I cannot praise her enough. 
He left to go on to Nursery. I will and have recommended her to anyone who is looking for a safe caring and happy environment for their child. I work in Education with primary school children and know a good establishment when I see one. Cheeky Monkeys is to be commended. Many many thanks

My daughter has been with Cheekey Monkies since May 2011. The difference & personal development my child has gained since May has been un-recognisable. Her talking / speech, behaviour & attitude has come on ten fold and I’m so pleased, grateful & thankful for all the hard work Sam has put into my daughters well being & development. My daughter was experiencing severe speech issues and only making sounds, since being with Cheeky Monkies she can now participate in a conversation, teel you how she feel and knows about 600 new words. She can now enjoy playing with other children & share toys, food etc. She loves spending time there and ask’s to go to Cheeky Monkies over the weekend. The constant communication daily is brilliant. Cheeky Monkies keeps a record of my daughters achievements & days out. Cheeky Monkies are always out & about from picnic’s to trips to the museum, the’ve made learning fun & interesting for my child, as well as informative & educational. I could not recommend Cheeky Monkies highly enough. The transformation in my daughter has been amazing – Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we will miss you!
