Sarah Ki's Reviews

Very professional and a very happy child

Sarah has been childminding our daughter T for more than 14 months now since March 2012. It has been a very wonderful experience both for T and us as parents. Sarah meticulously maintains a record of activities for the day and it helps us to understand the T's development well.

T is very happy to go in the mornings to Sarah and starts calling Sarah's kids' name even before she gets to the door. That reflects how happy she is with them and loves playing with the other children in care and Sarah's own children as well. It is not all fun and games, and T gets involved in lot of activities such as colouring, baking, learning and also regular visits to the park and Wisley gardens. T loves Sarah's cooking, and Sarah also never cuts corners whether it comes to food or toys, and have always used the best options available.

We are very happy with Sarah's services and would certainly recommend her if one is looking for a very professional and family child care in welcoming and happy surroundings.

Thanks so much for your lovely review we will all miss T so much

Delighted

Sarah has been looking after my 17month old son for the last 7 months and we have been absolutely delighted with the individual care he has received.

My son's confidence has grown hugely under Sarah's care and her lovely family house is a real 'home from home'. Her own children are a credit to her.

Every day we leave Sarah's house with a notebook telling me what they have been up to on that day and it is always a good variety of stimulating activity and fresh air.

My son really enjoys all Sarah's homemade food. He also sleeps very well in peace and quiet which makes for a happier toddler at the end of the day.

We have been really delighted with the care my son has received and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sarah to anyone wanting professional childcare in a lovely home environment.

Peace of Mind

Sarah has been looking after my baby daughter since September of last year. I have always felt M receives excellent care and attention at Sarah's. She is always happy when I drop her off, never cries and sometimes looks positively unhappy to be leaving Sarah's house in the evening!

My husband and I received a home-made Christmas card from our daughter, lovely finger-painting pictures and regular photo updates of how she is playing and developing during the day.

Sarah's children play with the babies and children and really add to the positive, happy atmosphere in her home. I'm very fortunate to have found such good care for my daughter and would happily recommend Sarah's services.

Thanks so much we miss you all too!

A very nice person

Sarah has been childminding our 13-month old daughter Emma for nearly 2 months now, Monday to Friday from 9:10am to 2:10pm.

Emma loves her and we are very happy to see our little one having such a good time with Sarah and the other babies/toddlers.

She has 3 lovely kids and a cosy and loved home, surely a nice and stimulating environment for our daughter.

Sarah is a very nice and trustful person and I would recommend her as a child-minder (actually I'm already doing that with my friends!).

I like her personal but professional approach

Sarah has been childminding our 14-month old son for nearly 3 months now, 3 days a week (8am-6pm) and we have been very happy with her. D is treated as part of her family and I can tell he has loved the attention from her own three children as well as making new friends with the other babies / toddlers in her care during the day.

He enjoys the balance of routine and variety that Sarah manages - mornings going out to play groups or to other childminders or for walks, then lunch and a nap in the cot. In the afternoons Sarah does a short school run into Surbiton, then it’s tea with all the family and lots of attention from Sarah's children during play time. His development has come on well eg. walking, spoon and cup use, playing with cars etc. He loves the animals and enjoys the food. He is well settled and the atmosphere and care at Sarah’s house clearly matches that he gets at home.

Sarah keeps a careful diary of all Daniel has been up to (food, activity, nappies & naps as well as developmental areas) and sends photos occasionally. She communicates by text, phone and email if necessary during the day. She sent me texts during the early settling in days to keep me updated as I started back at work. I still feel I don’t have to worry about him while I’m at work.

Having worked until recently as a solicitor I feel Sarah understands what it's like as a working mum and is very supportive.

I like her personal but professional approach. She is confident and enjoys doing focussed activities with all the children in her care. Her own children set an excellent example to the children she cares for and actively participate when they get home from school, giving a real family feel to her care.

Sarah is registered with Childcare Vouchers (formerly known as Accor) online for easy and tax efficient payment.
