Sarah is a fantastic childminder. She first looked after my son 7 years ago with her mum and he continues to attend now and thoroughly enjoys going. She has always looked after my son like he is one of her own. His days there are filled with fun, laughter and learning and he has developed in to a very happy and sociable boy. My problem is trying to get him to leave at the end of the day! I now have a 16 month old daughter who is completely different to my son, she was very shy and had severe separation anxiety and I was anxious to leave her, even though I know how much of a fantastic childminder Sarah is. Sarah reassured me that if my daughter found it difficult she would let me know and do whatever it took to settle her in gently and make her and myself feel at ease. My worries were for nothing, she has settled in beautifully and I couldn't have asked for it to go any better. I am regularly sent pictures of her activities throughout the day and she is always smiling and happy. To be able to go to work and know your children are safe, happy and cared for is huge thing for a parent and I couldn't have done it without Sarah.
