Amazing childminder

I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Sara - I’ve been extremely happy with the care provided. Sara has cared for my 2 year old daughter for roughly half a year and in that short time, I’ve seen her flourish.

Sara initially made me feel confident in returning to work for the first time since having my first baby and made the whole settling in process for both me and my daughter really easy.

Sara has a wonderful approach to childcare and education and has a warm ‘motherly’ manner. Her home is lovely and clean and she has a large garden for the children to explore freely.

I love that I get a daily update of the food eaten and activities done in a special book, and the reports are also fantastic - full of photos and comments so I can really see how my daughter has progressed within the EYFS and how much fun she's had in the process.

I also love that Sara takes the children out and about to playgroups, soft plays, parks, farms, theme parks… you name it! My daughter also has fun at her house with all the toys and books, baking, arts and crafts and playing in the garden. The balance between play and leaning is done extremely well and I’ve not only seen my daughter progress her skills and confidence in all areas, but she’s so happy to be there and loves telling me about her day with Sara and the other children!

If we weren’t re-locating, I would have continued using Sara for many years - she will be missed by us both! I can’t recommend Sara enough and we hope to stay in touch!
