Amazing childminder! ❤️

5 stars

Sarah is an absolutely amazing childminder! My daughter always has so much fun and comes home telling me about her adventures with Sarah for the day! Sarah takes the children to play group each week to socialise with other children as well as the park and library! My little girl has learnt so much since being with Sarah and I am so glad they have an amazing time together!
Thank you for being amazing Sarah!

Thank you Bethany. It is so lovely caring for him and watching him grow.

Sarah is Amazing 🤩

5 stars

My son has been with Sarah for a while now, and he loves every second.
She does so much with her little ones, park trips, playgroups, days out, and walks among many learning activities.
Prior to going to Sarah he was in a nursery, not settling and his speech was not coming.
I knew I needed to look for a more personal childcare.
I found Sarah on here and arranged a time to meet. From that very first meeting I knew she was perfect.
My son has thrived with the care and love Sarah has given him. And she has taught him so much he can even write his name, and he doesn’t start school until September.
I cannot recommend Sarah enough!!
We have daily updates with photos during each day as well as a contact book. Any concerns/worries and Sarah is always happy to help and support in anyway possible.
She will be very missed by us when he starts school!

Thank you Carrie for your lovely words. He is a superstar. I will miss our bug hunts in the garden!

Amazing childminder!!

5 stars

My son( aged 2 ) has been with Sarah only a short time but his development has come on brilliantly!

She is always keeping him super busy by taking to play groups to socialise with children his age. She also takes him on days out to the farm which he really enjoys and learnt all the animals sound from. When they’re not out at the farm or library they’re playing in the garden or going for a walk on the beach !

Sarah is patient, kind and always has my sons best interested at heart.

My son is alway so excited to show me his art work and things that he has learnt when I collect him.

I Know my son is in safe hands while I am at work. Sarah is truly amazing with my son and they have created such a great bond with him.

Thank you Kelly. We have lots of fun on our adventures!

5 stars

My daughter is currently undergoing assessments for autism and I have been very wary of leaving her with someone because of her communication but Sarah has made this process so easy and reasurring for us all. I am regularly updated with activities that my daughter has been taking part in and can see how much she is enjoys her time with Sarah. She has always supported progression with my daughter and has helped her come so far in the period she has been there. I am so thankful that I have found Sarah to support me and my daughter on this journey and would recommend Sarah to anyone. My daughter will definately be staying with her for as long as she can.
