Sarah has been great over the last year or so with helping us out, even with my crazy schedule Sarah has been amazingly accommodating.
From our initial meeting with Sarah, Hayden and Cristian instantly felt comfortable and happy to be with her, as she is very caring and accommodates each child’s likes etc.
All the children have lots of lovely things to do there, from crafts to splashing in her paddling pool on the hot summer days, they are going to miss her very much.
We highly recommend Sarah.
Thank you Sarah very much for everything.

My daughter Darcy absolutely loves Sarah. We Changed from a minder she wasn’t settling with and tried a second time with Sarah, Darcy instantly settled and has been in Sarah’s setting almost 2 years. Sarah’s super friendly and professional and we will both be sad to say our final goodbye. Highly recommend

Sarah is a lovely and very caring childminder. My daughter (4 years old) and my son (2) loved being with her. We stayed in Colchester for just two months, but during this time, my children developed a strong bond with Sarah, and even now they keep on asking about her! Every day she would give us a detailed report of what they did and the places they went (sometimes including pictures!). I definitely recommend her!

My son first started with Sarah when he was 9 months old. I hated the fact I was leaving him, but Sarah totally made my mind at ease. From day one, my son loves seeing Sarah and will often ask for her at the weekends too. Every morning, he jumps out of my car and runs to Sarah for a hug and climbs into her car with no issues. I also love the fact that the rest of Sarah’s family treat my son as if he was part of their family.
Sadly, we recently moved away from the area and had to say ‘see you soon’ to Sarah and her family. My son, who’s now 2, still asks for Sarah. We miss you!

Sarah is just fantastic and was the first childminder I met. Her place is home from home and I was delighted with how the kids all interacted with each other and how she dealt with them when a couple were having a breakdown (which only lasted a couple of minutes). We phased my daughter (now 9 month olds) in over a month and when I went back to work, knowing Aideen was so happy there mad it so much easier. Sarah is a amazing and she just loves looking after the kids. They are all delighted to be there. I get a progress report each day with activities Aideen has done, how she has slept, what she ate and what her mood was like which we love.
My daughter was literally jumping into Sarah's arms each morning when I dropped her off.
Sarah and her family are very welcoming and I cant rate her enough. Unfortunately we are moving to a different area later this year and I cried telling Sarah as we wish we could take her with us!
