Sara is amazing and we couldn't be happier her childcare services. We found Sara & Emma through a glowing personal recommendation and now we understand why she was so highly recommended in the first place! Our 17month toddler comes home so so happy, it's amazing to see her development come on so much (She was quite a clingy baby and is now a toddler who's full of confidence!). We receive amazing photos + updates of all the themed activities, trips and crafts they get up too everyday! The personalised Christmas baubles and cards are incredible and never fail to make us laugh - mementos we'll keep forever! Sara's approach strikes the perfect balance of everything, she's professional, organised, honest and her communication with us is amazing. Sara & Emma provide a kind, safe and fun environment which is focused on development - they celebrate every single milestone along with us which is so lovely!

Our two-year-old toddler is always happy to go Sara's to play and learn... what else can you ask for? :)
Sara is warm and loving with children as well as honest and welcoming with parents.
She offers an excellent service not just by looking after our son, but by teaching him and by offering him a safe and joyful environment.
Very happy with her!

Our daughter was born during Covid and had little socialisation prior to starting with Sara and the rest of the team when she was 7 months old. From day one until now, three years later, she has absolutely thrived in terms of her development and she has also loved every last second of her time there. Everyday we get the most gorgeous photographs of all the activities they get up to and we have lots of precious, lovingly crafted mementos brought home by our daughter for Mother's/Father's day, Christmas etc. We really couldn't have asked for anymore in a childminder and Sara, Emma and Racheal have all taken the most wonderful care of our daughter. Our family will miss them all as our little one moves on to her next steps at school. Couldn't recommend them highly enough!

We had our Daughter with Sara from 7 months old and we could not be happier with the care she has been given. Sara and her girls have provided a fun, safe, caring and clean environment for our daughter to learn and grow, whilst also entertaining her with regular trips out! The most important thing is she absolutely adores going to Sara's and we couldn't be happier she was able to have her. Can't recommend Sara and Emma highly enough as they are brilliant child care providers!

Sara is a fabulous childminder and we couldn’t imagine our little boy going to anyone else. He started when he was 11 month and is now 15 month. He absolutely loves going to see Sara every week and has even started shouting her name with the biggest smile on his face.
The first time we met Sara, we could tell she was going to be amazing. Her passion & caring attitude towards her job is everything we wanted and more.
Sara used a monthly book to engage the children in different activities and learning opportunities. We are informed which book this is going to be via WhatsApp. This allows us to discuss and also engage with the book at home which our little boy loves. They are currently exploring “Going On A Bear Hunt”.
Additionally, Sara uses WhatsApp to contact us with photos, activities that have been done without the day aswell as any key messages/information. It is such an easy way to communicate as grandparents collect and we don’t always have the opportunity to see Sara.
Overall, I couldn’t recommend Sara enough. She makes going into work so much easier for us both. Our little boy absolutely loves going & it is lovely to see him enjoying his time with Sara and other children/adult.
Keep being you Sara 👏♥️

I decided to go back to work full time from maternity leave earlier than expected and as any mum would be, I was nervous to leave my little girl and be away from her. First of all… Sara is AMAZING! From the very first time we met she instantly made me feel at ease and made the whole process of me returning to work a-lot less daunting. I could tell straight away that Sara absolutely loved working with children and her years of experience backed that up. She is extremely professional and so kind! I feel like I drop my little one off and I have full confidence that she will have a fantastic day! They go out on day trips, explore the garden, play with what seems like unlimited toys and have story book themed weeks to give children the opportunity to learn while they play! I honestly couldn’t be happier and I’d recommend Sara 100% all day. One of the biggest things for me was fear of missing on on seeing the smiles, milestones and funny moments but I don’t feel left out at all because Sara and the team capture all the important moments! i get daily pictures, videos and updates on what she’s been up to that day which is nice to look at on my lunch break. I can also see a massive positive change in my daughters progression and milestones! What I love most is Sara and the team celebrate these just as much as I do! It’s like one big family!

Sara, Rachael and Emma make such a wonderful team. They are so nurturing and professional and our little boy loves his days with them. Sara went above and beyond to make sure our little one settled well into her setting. As first time parents we were nervous to leave our 10 month old with someone new but Sara has provided a home from home that he feels so comfortable in.
The setting is so nicely set up and incredibly child centred which was exactly what we were looking for. The children enjoy such a range of experiences with Sara and the team, both inside their home and out and about.
We love receiving photographs and updates on the days our little boy is at Sara’s, such a lot of effort goes into all that they do.
We would highly recommend Sara as a childminder.

I am a single parent of 4 gorgeous boys and I returned to work when my fourth was 6 month old and contacted sara and arranged a meeting. Everything is professional up to date protocols, safeguarding/health and safety is to the highest standards/priority. My 8 yr old and baby now 2 love Sara Rachael Sophie Emma Spence toby.
I know my children are looked after and kept safe and that means the world to me and my boys, they are monitored and encouraged to be independent, work as a team and 100% playing kind.
Great location easy to find and can access via local bus or car. Newsletters and weekly rotas updated via WhatsApp of events/educational learning tools that all children learn through play.
Can’t thank everyone enough !! We love you all and a massive thank you for your continued support !!

Our little girl has been cared for by Sara and her team since she was 6 months old. As a first time mum to a very young baby I was anxious but from the first meeting Sara's knowledge of child development, professionalism but also approachable and understanding manner put us at ease and we could tell how passionate she was about children.
Settling in visits were organised thoughtfully and tailored to our child's needs. Nothing was too much trouble and our daughter therefore settled really quickly into being at Sara's house. The atmosphere is positive and children of different ages interact and learn from each other- it really does feel like a home from home and a second family, which is more than we ever could have hoped for when looking at childcare options.
The children's playroom is a clean, well-equipped area with lots of sensory and roleplay opportunities. Sara plans activities linked to books to encourage children's literacy skills and organises lots of visits to the local area and outdoor play too.
We receive regular newsletters and communication about our child as well as photo updates throughout the day and, most importantly, our child is happy and safe in Sara's care.
We would recommend Sara and team in a heartbeat.

I have been leaving both of my children with Sara for around a year now and she is absolutely outstanding! My little boy has been with Sara since he was 1 and my little girl since she was 4. Initially I was very nervous about leaving my children with a childminder and trusting someone else to take my eldest on the school run. I spoke to a number of childminders however within minutes of being in Sara’s house she put me completely at ease with her professional, confident yet absolutely caring manner. She understood my anxieties and talked us through how we could start with our settling in sessions to help my children adapt at their own pace. There was some real flexibility on Sara’s behalf to ensure my children were as happy as they could be and an extension of the settling sessions to help my youngest (who was particularly clingy) be as comfortable as he could be.
Sara’s house is so comforting and very child oriented that both of my children feel completely at home there. I often just get a wave as they walk in the house and sometimes not even that. It’s such a positive feeling to know that the children are so happy to be there. Sara shares photos on a daily basis to keep us up to date with what is going on and, also keeps a track of which developmental aspects have been met by the children with evidence. During school holidays she ensures there are a wide range of activities which suit the age ranges of the children she has. Days out to aquariums, soft plays, parks, farms, you name it she does it and the children absolutely love it. They even love the stay at home days with films, popcorn, colouring, messy play.
I honestly could not wish for anything more from the person who I trust with my children. I would always recommend Sara’s services for anyone who is looking to have a happy child whilst they are away at work, she is simply amazing!
