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!

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 🥰
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.
