Reviews

These are some reviews that a handful of our parents have written recently.

Sarah has been caring for our daughters for 6 years now since they were both babies. The care, comfort and love she shows each and every child in her care is amazing. My daughters come home from a day with Sarah talking about all the fun they've had with friends. To my mind one of the best things about Sarah's set-up is that the children play outside in some form every day - a trip to the zoo, the park, a PYO farm, her amazing garden. Sarah is so experienced and immediately reassuring. I am confident that there is no childcare scenario that she has not encountered and similarly trouble-shooted. I can honestly think of no one better to leave my children with and I dread the day when they no longer go to Sarah's.

Sarah is the best!

We were recommended to Sarah by several people living in our area, and deciding to put our children with Sarah, Mark and Rachelle has, without a doubt, been one of the best decisions we have made.

Our son (who has been with Sarah for 2 years, since he was a toddler) has flourished under Sarah’s care. He enjoys a really good mix of outdoor and indoor activities organised by Sarah, ranging from visits to the zoo, children’s farms, parks, the nature reserve to museums, toddler groups and doing arts and crafts and other age-appropriate activities. These experiences have really broadened his understanding of the world around him, and has helped him become comfortable quickly in a variety of different settings. He also joins Sarah for her school runs, and we attribute his smooth transition to pre-school in part to Sarah familiarising the children with the concept of school from an early age.

Our son’s social development has improved tremendously since joining Sarah’s. Being part of a group of children of varying ages means that, whilst he has a core group of children his age to play with, he is also very comfortable interacting with children of other ages which is great to see and something which we would not have got if we had put him with a nursery or with a nanny.

Sarah’s extensive experience in childcare shines through in everything she does and she is so helpful and flexible with us as parents that we really don’t know what we would do without her. From snippets of practical advice when your child is going through a difficult phase, to being flexible and understanding if the trains are running late to even helping potty train our son, Sarah has gone over and above her role as childminder.

Sarah is also very happy to look after babies from a young age and, when we gave birth to our daughter we were delighted to find that our son, having been taught by Sarah on how to behave around young babies, was so helpful, gentle and caring when his sister arrived on the scene. Our wonderful experience with Sarah meant that we did not hesitate to put our daughter into Sarah’s very capable hands. The love, care and attention that the children receive from Sarah, Mark and Rachelle is second to none and our children absolutely love their time there. We would recommend Sarah to anyone!
