Our boys have been going to Sara’s since they were both 9 months old (one nearly 14 and one 10 yrs). From being there full days before starting school to before and after with Sara doing the school run. With working full time I wanted the boys to have somewhere safe and homely that they could go and this is why is continued when they started school as I felt it would be better for them than staying at after school clubs (especially if there were issues at school). Sara has consistently provided them and all the other children in her care with a safe space to learn and grow into themselves. She has provided so many experiences and learning opportunities over the years, more than I would have been able to offer them. I truly believe their time spent with Sara before starting at school prepared them for being at school full time.
One thing Sara loves is a celebration - you can bet any Calender event will be celebrated & my favourite celebration will always be the little graduation party she does for those going into full time education setting.
Due to the boys ages and with both being at high school this year we have made the decision to stop sending them but they will forever hold the memories made with Sara and look back on these with smiles and happy hearts.

Sara is not only a fantastic childminder she has become a family friend. Any children in her care are lucky as they are given lots of opportunities to try different things, and celebrate lots of different events. Sara supported us through family changes and a world pandemic. She goes the extra mile and I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone.

Our eldest daughter has been going to Sara's for 7 and a half years, and our youngest for a year now and the care she provides goes above and beyond any other childcare setting we have ever experience. Sara creates a home from home for the children so they are always excited to go to be in her care! Sara puts on activities for the children for all occasions which they thoroughly enjoy and talk about continuously after. The days out she does with the children are beyond our expectations and are both engaging, educational and enjoyable for children of all ages. We couldnt wish for a better person to look after our children and they have both thrived in her care. The caring nature she has towards every child individually is second to none, and she takes the time to learn every single childs likes and tailors activities towards these too! We will never be able to thank Sara enough for all she does for our children.
