Sarah

The best setting for any child to grow.

I don’t think it’s possible to put In to words the caring nature and love Sarah shows. Every day over a period of 8years (two children) Sarah has helped develop, nurture and teach my children in to become well behaved, well educated, and polite children. My oldest has all ways looked forward to the holidays asking if she can go to Sarah’s.

Sarah has always shown nothing but passion for the children she cares for as I have seen over the years, daily trips out to parks, sea life, zoo, baby/toddler groups, the art the children bring home and it’s seen at Halloween/Christmas times as her home is turned in to Santa’s grotto.

Sarah has been like a second family, pouring so much love and care into helping them grow into the amazing little people they are today. From the moment they started, I could see my kids light up—whether it was learning new things, like their first words or how to share and play kindly, or just having a blast with fun activities that sparked their curiosity. Sarah has got this magical way of making every day feel special, teaching them manners, confidence, and so much joy. My kids are thriving, and I know it’s because of the heart and soul Sarah puts into everything. Sarah is not just a childminder —they’re someone who’s helped shape my kids into kind, happy, and curious little humans, and I’m so grateful for her!

I remember looking for a childminder 8years ago and being so worried about leaving my children, I very quickly realised I was leaving my children with someone who loves and cares for them as much as me.

There was nothing Sarah wouldn’t do for the children she cares for and she goes above and beyond and follows that through to the children’s family’s.

I have recommended Sarah to all my friends who have recently had babies. I have been able to go through 8years of photos, videos and art work with them and show them they will not find anyone better.

Thank you Sarah for helping my children grow each day and grow in to the beautiful children they are today!

Thank you so much for this beautiful review. I cry every time I read this! You really are a beautiful family inside and out and I feel so lucky that you chose me!

Sarah is AMAZING

My child attended Sarah’s setting and absolutely loved every moment spent there!

From the very first day, Sarah made us both feel so welcome, creating a warm, caring, home-from-home environment that instantly put me at ease. She has such a natural way with children – patient, kind, and full of energy – and it’s clear she truly loves what she does.

You can see that each day is thoughtfully planned with lots of days out and fun activities, from creative crafts to outdoor play, so the children are always engaged and learning in different ways. The daily updates were such a comfort for me as a parent, and I really valued being able to see what my child had been doing, learning, and enjoying each day. It’s those personal touches that make Sarah stand out – she goes above and beyond to make sure every child feels special, valued, and cared for.

You can see how much the children adore her and how comfortable they are in her care. Knowing my child was safe, happy, and thriving made all the difference. I honestly couldn’t recommend Sarah highly enough – she’s an incredible childminder who creates a truly loving and supportive environment for children to grow in.

Thank you so much for your beautiful review! I feel so lucky that you chose me to take care of your little one! 🥰 I love seeing how he is doing now and what a fantastic young man he is becoming 🥰

The most amazing care!!

Sarah is absolutely amazing, where do I start??

My little boy has been with Sarah for well over 6 months now and he’s absolutely thriving, he goes to Sarah with open arms every morning , he is now at 18 months running down the street and into Sarah’s garden, likes to ring the bell himself, and then runs into Sarah’s arms for cuddles and even helps close the front door as he goes in!!!
I am updated every day on his day, the he has the most amazing and educational outings, he loves his healthy meals with Sarah and most days it’s hard to get him to come home!! Always has to give Sarah one last cuddle! The bond between them both is unbelievable.
He has learnt how to play with others, share and he has maintained a better routine at home encouraged by Sarahs consistency!!
I would say what Sarah has created is more of a family. If you want an exciting, caring, loving, friendly and safe environment, Sarah is the person to create that for your little ones.
I was once an anxious first time mum, nervous to leave my son, and after the first settling in session I knew this was the right place for my boy.
Sarah is fantastic, her care for these children comes so natural and can tell it’s so much more than just a job for her. Me and my partner feel so unbelievably lucky to have found her!

Thankyou so much Sarah.

Thank you so much for your beautiful review! I feel so lucky that you chose me to take care of your little boy! 🥰 His big smiles from the minute I open the door, he makes everyone have the best day with his happy character 🥰

What a lady!

My nephew attends Sarah’s childminding service and I’m always nervous as I have a childcare background but Sarah is fantastic!

Harry loves to tell us about his adventures with ‘his’ Sarah. He goes on lots of outings and is always busy. His speech is developing rapidly since he started which is amazing.

I love all the updates on Facebook as we can show him this at home which creates lots more conversations about the adventures he’s been on.

I would highly recommend.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this review! I’m so lucky I get to share your nephew, he is a fantastic little boy and I have the best day when he is here with his big smiles 🥰

Amazing childcare provider

Well where do I begin about this fabulous setting and the Amazing Sarah. My daughter attended from the age of 6 months till 3 Years old. The love and care she received was outstanding! The bond between Sarah and my little one was wonderful to the point my daughter who is 7 still talks about Sarah and points out her house everytime we pass. Sarah goes above and beyond to create a fun, nurturing and a home from home environment. I would absolutely recommend Playtime care to anyone wanting a safe, secure and loving environment for their most cherished, it really is like a little family.

Amazing, my daughter loved it!

Where do I begin! Sarah is amazing she welcomed our daughtes from the get go and made them feel like they was at home. She felt more of an extended family rather than childminder. We would go anywhere else!

The best childminder

Sarah came highly recommended, and from the moment we met her, I knew she was the perfect childminder for us.
Harry absolutely loves going – he’s always excited to see Sarah and the friends he’s made there. They’re always out and about doing fun activities, and I love that he settles in so happily with no tears at drop-off. I honestly couldn’t recommend Sarah enough – she’s fantastic! She loves the children she cares for and that shines!

We couldn’t recommend Sarah enough

Playtime care is well truly amazing. My little boy absolutely loves Sarah. He goes in happy and comes out even happier and most of the time he doesn’t want to come home he’s having that much with Sarah. The bond Tommy and sarah have is incredible. Knowing they have such a good bond makes me happy.

Sarah is always going out each day to different types of activities such as play groups, the park and Tommys most favourite one the zoo. Sarah knows what each child is interested in and will always do activities around there favourite things.

Tommy has been going to Sarah since he was 10 months old. Tommy has come on leaps and bounds since starting playtime care. From walking, to feeding him self, to talking and to becoming a good little boy. The best thing about Sarah is if you need any advice or help she’s is willing to help.

The love and care Sarah provides to Tommy is wonderful. She treats the children as they are her own. Sarah has gone out of her way and got the children their wash bags personalised. It’s the little things that matter and Sarah loves to make it special for each and every child.

When it comes to birthday and occasion. Sarah goes over the top for them. She makes sure each and every family member gets a card and a present. Which she makes with the child and it’s the little things that matter.

Sarah will always work along side of you and this is what I love as we work together as a team. The communication with Sarah is excellent as she is so easy to get along with and if she has any problems she will tell you straight away. Sarah will alway send you update, photos, their updates and what they’ve had for dinner.

I honestly couldn’t recommend playtime care enough. I wouldn’t want anyone else to look after Tommy. He’s developing into a smart and caring little boy because of the time and effort you put in. We would well and truly be lost without you. Thank you for being you and doing everything you do 😊

Thank you so much for such a beautiful review! I am very lucky you chose me to look after your little boy and I look forward to his brother joining me next year 🥰

Disgusting Childminding.

I would not recommend this childminder due to the fact, that my nephew was visably distressed and upset whenever we picked him up or brought him home.
When walking by the street, he would get upset and say "Not Sarah's" & we would have to reassure him many of times that he would not be going that day.
When he was home, he would comment that Sarah was 'naughty' & shouted 'BED'. This caused my nephew problems for my sister to settle him at night times because of his experience within this childminders setting.
There was constant times where the childminder would send him home, saying he is 'not well' or 'poorly' and referring it to as he got 'man flu' when he is only 2 years old.
Also my sister had a message of Sarah within half an hour of my nephew being dropped off with a threatening message saying 'You need to pick you're son up or I'm ringing social services'.
My sister how now had to pull my nephew away from this situation with immediate effect because of the consequences around her son.

What a shame you feel this way after I took care of your nephew for nearly 2 years I wish him all the best for his future.
Children cannot attend my setting if they are poorly as I have a duty of care to them and other children in my setting.
I would only contact Social services if I had safeguarding concerns and this is not the platform to discuss this.
