We feel very lucky that we found Sarah! Her setting has been perfect for our son who started when he was 14-months-old. He's been with her for 18 months now and has been really happy - he settled in very quickly indeed and is extremely comfortable with Sarah and her team. He's chatty, happy and confident and I know that Sarah's nurturing, home-from-home setting has had a big role to play.
My son loves playing with the other children - and Sarah also puts a lot of effort into educating and provides regular updates on your child's progress. He'll be heading to nursery soon, but we're so pleased we chose Sarah for those early years before he does. I've recommended Sarah to all my friends who are looking for childcare.

We didn’t know what a child minder was before moving to the area but are so grateful we found Sarah! Our son loves going there, and all our concerns about his ability to nap or eat in a new environment were put at ease. Strongly recommended overall.

If only words could do justice to the service that Hawthorn Learning Tree provide. I have twin girls who are quite demanding, very active with very different personalities so I was very nervous about leaving them. Sarah and her team provided a personalised focus on introduction to her childcare setting, taking time to understand the individual needs and personalities and adjust things accordingly. They settled incredibly quickly and absolutely love going to Hawthorn Learning Tree. They are only 20 months old now and when I tell them they are going to Sarah's, they run to the door to put their shoes on (and these are two usually clingy children!).
Sarah and her team provide an extensive range of activities that keep the children of all ages constantly engaged, learning and enjoying their time. Activities include messy play (yet they still come home clean!), water play, outside play, imagination games, singing and learning suitable topics for their age amongst an endless array of other activities I just am unable to provide for them at home.
My girls also have specific dietary requirements and Sarah goes above and beyond to feed them appropriately, trying different healthy foods that they love.
The setting is impeccably clean and there is a suitable focus on cleanliness and hygiene. It is very organised with daily communication and Sarah clearly runs a truly effective and love filled childcare setting.
I honestly could not ask for more from a childminder looking after my children. I feel that all their needs are met and more and there is nothing more important to a mother knowing that your children are truly happy, learning, healthy and safe at child care whilst parental choices are also respected.

Finding the perfect childcare setting for your precious little one is such a big decision, and not one I took lightly, however I was filled with confidence the moment I met Sarah, as my daughter immediately bonded with her. There is nothing more reassuring for a mother.
Hawthorn Learning Tree is a homely, safe and immaculately clean space. I often joke saying I wish I could attend as well, as each day is filled with a variety of fun activities (arts n crafts, music time or physical outside play to name a few), and the food is healthy and delicious! My daughter honestly has a ball each day.
The standout for me though is the personalised service that Sarah and her team offer. Sarah is flexible and accommodating of the specific needs of my daughter. She keeps me updated throughout the day, and truly goes above and beyond to ensure that not only is my daughter happy and comfortable, but so I am. This is a true partnership.
I could not recommend Sarah more highly. We are thrilled to have met her, and we have never looked back!

I was very nervous to leave my son with anyone when I was due to return to work. Not least because he had spent much of his first year in lockdown and so wasn’t used to being with anyone other than myself and his dad. But Sarah has been incredible.
I have seen my son develop so quickly too in the time he has been going to Sarah - he is happy and excited to attend and his day is always varied with different games and toys to keep him occupied. He goes full time and enjoys 3 nutritious meals a day in an immaculate setting, the house is always very clean and the garden is wonderful and safe. Sarah keeps me updated throughout the day which I love. My son and I and all my family love Sarah and we would be lost without her. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Sarah has been a blessing to our family by accommodating our 4 1/2 yr old daughter to spend part of summer holidays with her.
Her home is so welcoming, immaculately clean and very well organised for the children with lots of toys and different activities to keep them occupied and engaged in play.
Our daughter has Autism and Sarah has had an amazing approach with her by being attentive to her needs and knowing how to avoid triggers. It was a joy for our daughter getting ready in the mornings knowing where she was going and being so happy!
Sarah has a natural gift of caring for children and a lot of experience. She's a wonderful person and would highly recommend her services.
Excellent communication and always on top of providing updates during the day of how your child is doing.

Sarah is a fantastic childminder, my 1 year old is excited to go in the mornings and is in good spirits when I pick her up, which as a parent is so reassuring.
Sarah has a friendly and positive attitude. My daughter attends full time and gets given three nutritious home cooked meals a day and lots of activities to keep her busy. Sarah keeps me updated during the day which I really appreciate.
Hawthorn Learning Tree is really homely, is always immaculately clean and is kept very safe for the children. The garden is wonderful and enclosed so the children can play in it all year and Sarah has lots of toys which my daughter loves!
I had been worried about nap times but Sarah's gentle approach worked wonders with my baby who previously only slept in the pram or being fed/rocked. I'm glad I sent my daughter to Sarah as she's been accommodating to my daughters routine and dietary requirements.
Thanks for doing a brilliant job Sarah!

Thank you chrissy always lovely to hear kind words and appreciation.
Sarah has set her place like a little nursery full of stimulating activities that she often changes. Her place is always very clean and organised!
She genuinely cares about children. She was fantastic helping to settle my little girl and making her feel happy, minimising the anxiety of starting childcare. My daughter loves going there!
She is also really good communicating how my daughter has spent the day.

Thank you debora i had so many laughs looking after your little princess! With her fun personality and impressions of me are hilarious! Dancing and twirling around the house like a true diva!
Really I was lucky to find Sarah to give childcare to my 2 years old son. Firstly, Sarah's house really organised and hygiene quality on high level. When you enter the house you will find it as wonderful nursery with a lot of activities indoor and outdoor. When I have come back to take my son he denied and insisted to stay with Sarah. That reflect how children get along with Sarah.
No doubt If I will recommend Sarah as professional childminder and babysitter.
