Brilliant

Really happy with childcare here. My 10 month old son has been going for a couple of months and is always smiling and happy to go in. Great communication and all staff are friendly and helpful.

Outstanding

I honestly cannot recommend Sara and her team enough, they have looked after my daughter for the last 2.5 years, within this time they have not only been childminders but also friends.
My daughter loved her time at the setting so much! We're gutted her time there has now come to an end, as she will be starting school in September.
Sara is very flexible and tries her best to meet your needs, the facilities are second to none and the staff are so lovely!
If you are looking for a home from home, you don't need to look any further!

The Best

I have my 14 months old boy at Sara's since he was 3 weeks old. From the first day I was satisfied with the way they take care of my child.
Every morning I am going to work relaxed and happy knowing that my little boy is getting the best care. Sara is a lovely person and the staff is great. If I have to choose between Sara and another childcare provider, I will choose her every time.

Excellent child care.

My son has only been with sara for a few weeks but straight from the start she made us and Oscar feel so welcome. Its really is a homely environment which i love. There's so much for them to do and i love love love her cabin outside for the children. I would highly recommend her to friends and family. I feel 100% comfortable leaving my son there. All the girls are brilliant. Always friendly and chatty.

Fabulous

Sara is absolutely lovely.She and her team are careing my twin boys. They were absolutly in love with her. Both of them enjoyed staying at her. There's a real family atmosphere about the house Both my children, settle very will since the first day(no cry at all) Sara is an extremely committed professional, always giving children her full attention during the time At the same time she's able to talk easily to the parents and pass on anything she knows will interest . My boys had a huge improvement on their language skills since they start . Overall, a really impressive childminder.

Excellent

My son has been coming to Sara since September 2019 and as an anxious first time mum, leaving my son with anyone other than his dad was a huge deal for me. Sara and the girls have been fantastic with us both and have really put my mind at ease. My boy loves going and is absolutely thriving. He settled straight away and I know it's because he is receiving excellent care.

Fantastic

My daughter has attended the setting since she was 13 months old for 2 days which has recently increased to 3 and thoroughly enjoys going; So much so that she asks to go every morning! . Having moved through each of the rooms from babies through to preschool, you can clearly see how her development has progressed. Sara has a structured approach to learning and it really shows.
I cannot fault Sara or the other staff, they are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. The facilities are great with a large outside pay space, including a mud kitchen that my daughter especially enjoys playing in.
Any question I've had has always been answered quickly and clearly and my daughter always has a big smile on her face when I collect her. I would definitely recommend!

Sara has been amazing in settling our nerves with us leaving him for the first time and is very reassuring and answers any and every question we have .My little boy is really enjoying his time spent here and loves the girls who work there too. Excellent all round x

Excellent provider

Sara and her team have always been so accomodating to my work schedule, and my daughter’s changing needs. I’ve always been so happy with how they treat my child and she’s always been so happy at the setting-we’ve been with Sara and Active Little Learners for just over a year and I can honestly say that I am so pleased with my daighter’s progress in her learning and speech development. I’ve also found that Sara encourages the individuality of each child rather than treating them as one and the same, and I think that that’s so important in developing personalities.
