Sarah and Andy are taking care of my 2 years and 7 months old son since November 2024 and we see them both as part of our family because of the all the pure love and good care they offered to my son every day since. My husband and I fully trust Sarah and Andy when our son is under their care and we absolutely love all of the educational activities they do together every week, including arts and crafts on special occasions, like Christmas for example. Our son comes home super happy all the time, he is always well fed too. There are times at the weekend when he is even asking to go Sarah and Andy because he misses them and mentions that Andy plays football with him in the garden and that they sing songs and have fun. On ad hoc bases at bedtime he will again mention Sarah saying “Sarah again mummy?” And when I say “yes baby tomorrow” he will put a big smile on saying “yay!” and then he starts a song they sang recently. Words can’t explain my appreciation and respect for Sarah and Andy. All I can say is that both are super professional and that they both do an amazing job taking care of my son and that I am very grateful for this. Thank you both, we are lucky to have you in our lives. Loads of love xxx

As a family we absolutely love Sarah and Andy and have done since our first visit. They were so welcoming and helped an anxious twin mum feel settled immediately. Our boys have been with them since they turned 1 (now almost 3) We chose Sarah and Andy due to having experience with twins and it was really important to us for them to have the home away from home environment. The boys absolutely love going to there and even want to visit at the weekends!! I wouldn’t hesitate with recommending them to anyone who is looking for childcare.

We chose Andy and Sarah as our childminders after visiting their home and feeling as though our daughter would be welcomed as part of their family. A specific appeal was that Andy and Sarah are a couple with their own grown up children. It is important to us for our daughter to see both males and females as caregivers, and so we felt it was very special and quite unusual to find Andy and Sarah.
Our daughter has been with them since 13 months. She settled well, because Sarah and Andy took the time to respect our routine and requests for her care. We have since had another daughter and have already made arrangements for her to start with Andy and Sarah after having such a positive experience.
Andy and Sarah are always in regular contact and are very approachable, flexible, kind, fair, trustworthy and, importantly, very fun!

We couldn’t be more happier with Sarah & Andy they are the most kindest and caring people. We are so grateful we came across them to look after our son. Our son has been with them since he was 10 months old & he is now 2 years old, he has learnt and grown so much while being under their care. If I could keep my son with them forever I would.
Would highly recommend.

Sarah and Andy are honestly brilliant. They offer a home from home environment which enables children to really thrive. They embrace all of the children within their settings differences and ensure all the children are treated with care and respect. They nurture the children like they are their own children and everything they do is with care and consideration.
My daughter started going to Sarah and Andy’s from 11 months old. As a first time mum I was extremely nervous leaving my child at all. She had never been away from me for longer than a few hours but from the minute I had our settling in sessions I knew I had made the right choice. My daughter adjusted to their setting so quickly and developed a secure attachment to both Sarah and Andy, She really did become part of their family and them part of ours.
The way Sarah and Andy have such a passion to provide the best level of care is clear to see. They both supported my daughter to really thrive. They helped me every step of the way from supporting with transitioning from being with me full time, to potty training and then her school nursery. I know the effort and dedication they put into my daughter really helped her with all transitions.
They regularly visit local parks as well as groups and other activities which was lovely and filled my daughters days with fun as well as many learning opportunities. I enjoyed the photo updates of her days. They offer a flexible learning approach which was perfect for my daughter as they embraced her interests and would incorporate the children’s interests into their learning opportunities. My daughter especially loved their garden which is full of age appropriate toys and activities and their music group they would attend.
They do so many different activities from baking to making “keep crafts” which I have kept every one of them. The food they provide is brilliant, my daughter was open to trying so many foods within their setting she originally refused at home. They offer a balanced diet and all snacks and meals were full of variety.
They celebrate different cultures and religious events and supported my daughter’s learning and curiosity through play and activities, she especially enjoyed their Christmas crafts and I treasure the hand prints she made.
It was a very sad day when our daughter left their setting to move onto nursery within a school setting as she had outgrown there setting and was ready for the next step, however due to all their support she adjusted so well and really settled fast. She already has the skills and tools she needed to access her nursery due to all the support they provided for her.

We highly recommend Sarah_Andy_Martin childminders, who cared for our child from 6 months to 3 years. She provided a warm, inclusive, and nurturing environment where our child was happy, settled, and clearly loved.
They gave us complete peace of mind as parents, knowing our child was safe and well cared for every day. The only reason we moved on was because our child had outgrown the setting and was ready to transition to preschool in preparation for school.
We are extremely grateful for their care and would recommend her without hesitation.

A brilliant home from home environment with Sarah and Andy. A caring, fun house with plenty of indoor and outdoor toys to use. Great for early drop offs and school pick ups. Thoroughly recommend 😃

My twins settled instantly with Sarah and Andy and have built a lovely bond with them. Communication between us is fantastic and they look forward to going. So much easier when the child is happy and content. They have a fun packed home from home environment and enjoy their day. Their routines are kept to. Happy children = Happy parents.
