Our 2 and a half year old son has happily been looked after by Sarah and her assistant from 9 months old 5 days a week. Having moved to the area when our son was 8 months old finding the right childcare was not only a mine field but also crucial given we have no extended family locally.
Sarah not only settles the babies into the childcare routine but equally important she gives both assurance and reassurance to parents. Frequent texts and photos throughout the early days helped enormously. Our son has developed physically, intellectually but we consider most importantly confidently and happy. He skips into Sarah's house and is helped to the window to wave us goodbye each morning and regularly requests to stay a little longer on an evening. Sarah's family is certainly her best reference; her 3 well mannered children are both caring and sensitive to our son. Sarah and her assistant provide information on activities and the developmental stages however this I feel is the 'must do' and actually the unwritten affection and time which is evident when they are interacting with our son has always assured me that this was the right choice for his 1st stage of childcare. He will miss Sarah her family and Maria (assistant).
