Arthur and Evie have been going to Sarah for nearly six months. In that short time we have been overwhelmed by the care, generosity and warmth with which Sarah has welcomed them into her home.

We feel total confidence in her ability to look after our children - to keep them safe and happy, and to nurture and stimulate them. We particularly like the happy family atmosphere, and the sense that they are with a friend who really cares about them. We have been delighted with the variety of activities which she undertakes with Evie, who always comes home exhausted. We already have lots of examples of artworks that they have created together.

Both Evie and Arthur settled very quickly. After just a few weeks, Arthur was reaching out to be cuddled by Sarah when he arrived in the morning, and Evie was talking a lot about Sarah at home. They both also quickly became very attached to Sarah's daughters, and they very much enjoy the time which they spend playing with them.

Sarah always seems calm and in control, and this has been very reassuring, especially given the medical issues which Arthur has had. She has always been careful to adhere to the routines that we have in place for the children, and has been receptive to feedback and requests. We find reading the children's diaries very helpful, as they give such a detailed account of what has happened in the day, including a very impressive range of imaginative and creative activities.

We honestly could not imagine anyone that we would rather have looking after our children.
