The best childminder we could have asked for

Sarah has been looking after our daughter for 2.5 years and she's just started looking after our 1 year old son, who is so far absolutely loving going to Sarah's and has settled in very quickly. Both my children absolutely adore Sarah and we couldn't be more grateful for the quality of care she provides. She is friendly, personable, loving, full of great ideas and treats our children like her own. I like especially the wide variety of activities she involves the children in both at home and outdoors, taking them to many different groups every week as well as lots of outdoor adventures. She is also a great cook and makes tasty meals that both my children enjoy. My daughter has developed so much in Sarah's care and she continues to do so in preparation for starting school in September. Sarah is always available for any questions at any time of day and is always ready to report anything that might have happened during the day. She is super organized, efficient and she's a lot of fun too. We consider ourselves blessed to have found her and wouldn't know what to do without her. Highly recommend her to anyone who might be looking for a childminder who considers children in her care as family rather than just her business.

Fantastic childminder and setting

I am a primary school teacher. Sarah is the only person outside of our family that we trust to look after our child.

Our son is provided with a warm and welcoming environment, he is loved and he is encouraged. He is constantly provided with new experiences and activities that help with his mental, social, emotional and physical development. As a teacher myself, we were looking for a childcare setting that would be as comfortable as home as well as keeping him stimulated so that he was ready for school. We feel that Sarah provides that challenge so our son can hit his developmental and early learning goals. We have been impressed with the well thought out activities, the trips, the social groups he attends and the learning through play that Sarah provides. Despite a difficult time when the pandemic hit, Sarah remained professional supporting us as a family and making sure that our son had routine. She kept in close contact with us updating us on her procedures. She was determined to create a ‘normal’ experience for the children as much as possible. Our son was provided with activities and play in a safe environment and we are thankful that his routine was maintained. We think it is due to Sarah, and the care that she provided, that our son had maintained his social skills. Through every developmental stage Sarah has provided advice, support and reassurance every step of the way. She has assessed where she thinks he is with his development and targets to move him on. We are always aware of how we can support him at home and what she is working on in the childcare setting. Sarah sends us daily pictures,videos and updates which we really appreciate. Sarah promotes an inclusive environment and celebrates diversity which we believe to be very important. Sarah has quickly become part of our family and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to look after their child.

Horrible

My daughter was being taken care for 6 months and she always arrived at home with cuts, bruises, pinches mark and had two food poisonings.

I won't recommend this person as I didn't not have a good experience with her, paid her monthly and she was going sick every two weeks.

Refused to develop my child learning as she told me " I'm not that type of childminder", my daughter didn't learn anything with her actually, she withdrawn her personality.

Had an episode that my child has fallen and fractuded the coler bone while playing in the park with her and her children and she didn't take responsibility, instead call social services to blame me for it but I had prove of all marks pictures and conversations in regards to my daughter tried to tell me a 1.5 years of age.

Please parents think again if you want this lady to take care of your children.
