I would like to firstly clarify, I never give 5 stars to anyone or anything, I save the fifth star for those that goes way beyond the expectations.
Sarah has been truly exceptional. She has been more than a childminder, she became an advisor, our support, a person that went beyond her professional duties to help us, her invaluable experience both as childminder and as mother, specially at the beginning, helped us greatly. Not having any family close by, Sarah became less a childminder and more a grandmother, a person we trusted, that cared enormously for our daughter to the level that when we notice something was wrong with her development, was the only person that really cared and saw the little details that indicated our daughter suffered a stroke while she was still in the womb, not even the health visitors cared enough at the time.
Of course leaving Sarah has been really emotional for all, she has delivered amazing care during the three years she has been our childminder and will be greatly missed.
It is worth mentioning that Sarah's setting is perfect, before we decided to choose he as our childminder, we visited quite a few to compare, with only one exception, all other childminder we had seen at the time had terrible settings for the children, Sarah welcomed us on a Saturday, when she was not caring for any children and gave us a small tour of her house. Over the time we've seen Sarah develop her place, upgrading and purchasing new toys and facilities so the children could enjoy a safe and clean environment.
Another thing we really liked of Sarah was that she often visited a lot of places and groups, meeting with other childminders, giving us the feeling that our daughter was never enclosed in the same place with the same people, it felt more like if she was in kindergarten, but with a full time teacher looking after her. This was really positive for our daughter's development and confidence interacting with other children.

I feel so sad writing this review as Sarah is the most amazing childminder, we are moving home and it is too far a commute to continue with Sarah (we even thought about not moving just so we could keep Lily with Sarah!) Sarah and her family are all lovely and we couldn't have asked for a better lady to leave our child with, she is so kind and Lily couldn't wait to see Sarah every morning. I cannot recommend Sarah enough, we are going to miss her very much and any child would be lucky to have her as their childminder. xx

We spent quite a while trying to find a suitable childminder for our son Ollie who was 10 months old at the time - when we found Sarah I know instantly she was perfect! Sarah is incredibly kind, caring, honest and just all round amazing with children. My son has some allergies and needed medicines, nothing was a problem for Sarah. We were so sad to leave and Ollie misses her all the time. I would recommend Sarah to all my friends and family. Thank you Sarah! Xxx

I have been very happy with Sarah as a childminder for my daughter. She has been very caring and thoughtful towards her and adapts to meet her needs as she develops.
My daughter has always been excited to go to Sarah's in the morning amd enjoyed showing me what she had created in the afternoons when I picked her up.
I would definitely recommend Sarah and would seek to use her again should I return to work following the birth of my second daughter.

My biggest fear about leaving my son (Thomas) with a childminder was that he would be dragged around and his needs would always be second to the childminder's own children. Not with Sarah. She treats Thomas like a part of the family and he has a brilliant relationship with her two children. I can't speak highly enough of her and what she does for and with Thomas. She is friendly, reliable, flexible and a very genuine person. Thomas loves going to her house and it makes me happy to know he is happy. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Sarah.

Meeting Sarah and her adorable family for the first time I instantly felt comfortable..not only the way she interacted with our son but the way he took to them. Discussing arrangements for childcare with sarah she instantly offered options to help me in any way she could to suit round my job. I haven't come across any childcare provider that could offer the type of care that adjusts to working parents to the standards she has, they often go to play dates and walks in the woods, shes just all round amazing, so sad to have to leave - wish Sarah could come with us.
