Sarah has looked after our first born son Oliver since he was 11 months old and he will hopefully stay with Sarah till school next year.

My review is split into two halves - some of the practical elements and some of my more emotive thoughts!

Her home is clean, tidy and practical for the children. They all eat at a small table, all have their own cots to sleep in, have regular outside time, nutritious meals and she offers advice when needed. Sarah also works with our nursery on Oliver’s development (Oliver wouldn’t go to nursery if Sarah worked 5 days which is a massive credit to her).

Sarah has a loving family that resides in the house and are visible and active with the children which I believe to be a great asset as Oliver has more people to interact with.
Oliver greets Sarah every morning with a huge cuddle and converses with her about the things that toddlers do. He is clearly comfortable in her home and in her care.
She does plenty of things with the children, often going to playgroups, busy park, library’s, swimming pool (when Oliver was on his own one particular day), summer picnics, planting flowers, painting … the list is endless!

I hope Sarah knows how much we have loved having her as our childminder - I have my fingers crossed she will take our second newly born son Louis next summer as it’s hassle free and stress free which for busy working parents is a must!

I’m happy to answer further questions / give more information if anyone needs more info on Sarah…. But I have no hesitation in 100% recommend her .. and do to all my mum contacts / friends!
