Our son has been with Sarah for well over a year now. He settled in very quickly and any time away due to half terms and holidays he is always happy to return and literally runs into the house on drop offs. Regular updates and pictures of his day are great to see what learning has been captured and what he does during the day. I visited loads of settings within the area and can honestly say they do not provide what Sarah does with her team. The inside and outside space is great for children to explore and learn.
100% recommend!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sarah and the exceptional care she provides for my daughter. From the moment we met her, I felt completely at ease, knowing she would be in loving and trustworthy hands. Sarah is not just a child minder; she’s a true caregiver. She goes above and beyond in making sure my daughter feels safe, happy, and engaged throughout the day.

Our 2 year old son has been attending Sarah's for several months and is very happy there. He has settled in and he is very warmly looked after by Sarah and her team. He has built a particularly strong bond with Sarah and her helper Maria and is very well looked after by the whole team and really enjoys being there. He has made several friends with the other toddlers and been encouraged to play in a social and safe way.
A friend recommended Sarah to us and told us that she was moving to her current location, which was closer to our home so we made the difficult decision to pull him out the nursery he was attending at the time. He was happy at the nursery but was it further away from our home. We were a little worried that he would miss the structure of the nursery but our worries were unfounded as Sarah puts on a lot of activities like painting, role games (he loves playing shop!), playdoh, music and a lot of educationally focused games and activities. There is also a decent sized garden and the whole setup is perfect for an active and curious toddler! He also loves Sarah's home cooking and definitely eats much better at Sarah's than at the nursery.
Overall I think Sarah provides the best of both worlds, a very warm and caring household, home away from home setting, with a good focus on educational and fun activities with just the right amount of structure which is perfect for a toddler. She also minds several babies and I think this has helped our son prepare for the imminent arrival of his sibling. I would recommend Sarah to anyone who needs a childminder.

We couldn’t be happier with the care Sarah has provided for our son since he was just 10 months old. From the very beginning, she has been warm, nurturing, and incredibly attentive, creating a safe and loving environment where he has truly thrived.
Our son has formed a very close bond with Sarah and her assistants. The range of activities she offers, including music lessons, keeps him engaged and helps with his development.
Sarah taken excellent care of our son, especially when he’s not feeling well. She always keeps a close eye on him and ensures he’s as comfortable as possible. Communication is excellent—we receive daily updates.
Sarah provides all his meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—which is a huge help for us as working parents.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Sarah, and we highly recommend her to any parents.

Sarah is truly a wonderful wonderful person. My child has been with her for 2 years and I have just started my baby with her too. Both boys have learned so much in her care and are very happy to be dropped off and when I pick them up. She is so caring and nurturing and the boys do a lot of learning too. With her nursery experience, Sarah teaches them first sounds for reading as well as mark making skills to set them up for when they start school. They do a lot of singing and counting and often come home with a new song to teach us. I can’t thank Sarah enough for what she’s done for us as a family, I would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone interested in choosing a childminder in the area. 😊

We had an amazing experience with Sarah. My son completely loved spending the day in her care and when I picked him up he was very happy.
Sarah is very friendly and helpful and answered all my questions. She also sent me updates during the day which was amazing as it was the first time my son was staying with her.
I will definitely send my son back again and would highly recommend her.
