Sarah has been looking after my son, James since he was 11 months old. I was absolutely dreading going back to work so we implemented regular settling in sessions a few months before he was due to start with Sarah full time. Sarah is welcoming, patient, caring and generous. It is obvious that children under her care are looked after as if they were her own. She goes to great lengths to plan educational activities on a daily basis and my son often returns home with arts & crafts (which take pride of place on the fridge!)

The children have the luxury of a spacious house and garden, as well as a fully equipped play room. She will often take the children out to local activities such as childminding group where they benefit from socialisation with other children. My son’s development over the last couple of months has been incredible as a result.

Sarah and her family have been so welcoming. My son has a lovely bond with Sarah and her own children. My husband and I feel very lucky to have found Sarah and incredibly blessed that James has her in his life.
