Mamabear's Reviews

Highly recommended, Sarah is a Gem!

We’ve been with Sarah mainly during school holidays and teacher training days, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly!

She is incredibly caring and creates such a warm, welcoming environment that my children always feel comfortable and happy in her care.

One of the things we really value is how much time she spends outdoors with the children. They regularly attend forest school sessions and enjoy a variety of activities like trips to local parks, the zoo, and the farm. It’s great knowing they’re not just being looked after, but are also learning and exploring.

She is very approachable and easy to communicate with, which gives real peace of mind as a parent.

Most importantly, my children absolutely love going to her setting and always come home full of excitement about what they’ve done that day.

We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any family looking for reliable, nurturing childcare.

Thank you for such a lovely review. I am really glad to hear you are happy with the service I provide for you and your family, and most importantly it is amazing to know that the children really enjoy it and get so much out of what we do.

I am proud and honoured to be apart of your children's learning journey and look forward to many more adventures together.

Exceptional Childminder – outstanding 🌟

My 3‑year‑old daughter has been with Sarah for a while now, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Sarah creates such a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment that my daughter looks forward to every single day.

What really stands out is the variety of activities Sarah offers. She takes the children outdoors regularly, from parks and playgrounds to forest school sessions, giving them plenty of fresh air, exploration, and hands‑on learning. She also meets up with other childminders, which means the children get to socialise, build friendships, and develop confidence in different settings.

Indoors, Sarah is just as creative. My daughter comes home with lovely crafts, new skills, and endless stories about what she’s learned. The balance between outdoor adventures, social activities, and creative play is perfect.

Sarah is patient, kind, and genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing. I feel completely at ease knowing my daughter is in such caring and capable hands. I couldn’t recommend Sarah more highly, she is truly an exceptional childminder.

Thank you so much for your kind words—it truly means a lot. I’m so glad to hear that you and your child have had such a positive experience. It’s been an absolute pleasure caring for her and watching them grow, learn, and develop their personality each day.

Building a warm, safe, and engaging environment is really important to me, so it’s wonderful to know that this has come across. Your support and trust mean everything, and I feel very lucky to be part of your child’s journey.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback—it’s genuinely appreciated 💛

Excellent childminder

Sarah is an excellent childminder extremely nurturing, caring and dedicated. Since my son has been in her care he has come on so much often coming home singing new songs. Sarah provides a wide range of engaging activities from Forrest school, soft play and fun trips to the zoo. Sarah also cooks a wide range of homemade fresh meals which is a huge bonus.
Choosing Sarah means you can feel confident that your child will be well cared for, supported and genuinely loved.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to hear how happy your child is with me that is always my biggest priority.

Im so pleased that you value the range of experiences I offer, from the forest school sessions to trips to the zoo and farm, as well as the soft play and stay-and-play opportunities. I strongly believe these activities play an important role in supporting children’s development, confidence, and enjoyment.

It’s also wonderful to hear your feedback about the nutritious, home-cooked meals I provide. I take great pride in ensuring the children enjoyable range of healthy, balanced food, so your appreciation really means a lot.

Thank you again for your support and trust—it’s a pleasure to be part of your child’s learning journey.

Wonderful childminder

Sarah looked after our 1 year old 1 day a week for a few months, and we were so happy with the care she provided. Our daughter had loads of fun with her, they went out on loads of outings and I felt very safe leaving her in Sarah's hands. Thank you for providing such lovely warm care :)

Thank you for your lovely comments. It was a pleasure sharing your child's learning journey we had so much fun and made lots of memories x

Would recommend Sarah

Sarah is professional and friendly, she is experienced and dedicated to providing a high standard of care. I really like how she plans outside activities like forest school and library trips every day, and cooks from scratch for the children. I also like that she is competent with using sign language because I think this is beneficial for all chilldren. If you are looking for a childminder in the local area definitely consider her before she gets too busy!
