I cannot sing Sarah’s praises enough! She has been absolutely wonderful looking after my son.
Being a first time mum, I was quite nervous about leaving my son and returning to work. However, Sarah did as much as she could to help him settle in gradually and from the first day it was clear that he adored going there.
Throughout the day, Sarah takes the time to feedback and send pictures, so I never feel as though I am missing out on anything. She has always been exceptionally flexible with my hectic teaching schedule and I never feel as though she is watching the clock, but rather, she takes as long as I need to answer any questions at the end of the day.
She has also been very supportive with my son’s dairy allergy providing a specialised dairy free menu. Through Sarah’s caring, loving nature, my son has thrived, I could not be happier with the care she provides.

Sarah has been caring for my daughter since shortly after her first birthday. She is an outstanding, well-organised childminder who demonstrates a wealth of knowledge about the relevant frameworks.
She plans healthy meals and snacks according to a rotating plan which are all home-cooked and also encourages the children to learn to bake and cook now that they are getting older.
Activities are well thought out, focusing primarily on arts and crafts activities- my daughter has become quite an accomplished painter since being with Sarah.
She also takes my daughter to a weekly Monkey Music class which is part funded. It's quite rare to find a childminder who will include a paid for activity so we really value this as the classes allow my daughter to socialise with a large number of children.
The most important thing for us is that it feels like our daughter has become part of Sarah's family. They have built up a really close bond and my daughter feels very close to Sarah's children as well. I trust Sarah 100% to make the right decisions regarding the care of my child which is what any parent needs when you are going to work and leaving your little one with someone else!

Overall
My son has been with Sarah for over a year and has benefited from some outstanding child care. As a new parent and in education myself, my choice of childminder came with much deliberation and anguish. I am very happy with the progress my son is making in this setting as he has new and exciting challenges every day linked in with the EYFS.
Overall
Sarah is such a wonderful childminder.
Our daughter started at 6 months and has loved ever second with Sarah and her family.
Sarah always has clear weekly plans of the actives she will be doing and we regularly get given photos of her doing these activities or great examples of artwork to be put on the wall.
I work in education myself so was very picky when it came to choosing a childminder.
Sarah made the transition of going back to work for me so much easier. She is a complete natural with children.
There is no doubt that she is hugely experienced. The atmosphere is so warm, welcoming and fun.
My daughter waves goodbye to me with a huge grin when I drop of off in the morning and in my opinion there's no better sign that she is in very very good hands.
