Sarah is simply the most easy going, down to earth, trustworthy person you will ever find to look after your children. Finding childcare for your children after a year off and finding someone who is not a family member or a friend was one of the most nerve wrecking times for me but when I met Sarah early in 2019, I instantly knew I wanted Sarah to be our childminder. Sarah had a friendly manner over the phone and when I met her in person was so welcoming. Sarah’s house is always spotlessly clean and safe.

Our daughter Isla has now been with Sarah for nearly 3 years and has had the best start in her learning journey. They go on days out to the farm, adventurous walks, attend play groups and visit other childminder’s houses which has enabled Isla to develop her social skills and make really strong friendships with other children and adults along the way (including Sarah’s own boys and husband who Isla absolutely adores!) When they have days at home they are always busy baking, making, doing puzzles, having story time and playing in the garden… the list is endless.

Sarah and I have both recently had house moves to different areas but throughout Sarah was very flexible in helping us make our childcare arrangements suit our working needs. If plans change last minute, Sarah is also very accommodating. On occasions where Sarah has needed to talk to us about Isla, Sarah always remains very professional and is very approachable and understandable if we too have had any issues with Isla ourselves.

Isla is now due to go to school in September and as much as she is excited for that, I know she will miss Sarah a lot. However, we are lucky enough to be able to send our son Jaxon from March so Isla will still be able to see Sarah too. Jaxon has already visited Sarah’s a few times whilst I have been doing KIT days and it is safe to say he has already become part of their little family!

Thank you Sarah for everything!
