I stumbled across Sarah and Graham’s childminding after I decided to pull my little one out of nursery. My little one did not like nursery and we felt a smaller setting might be more to her liking. Thank goodness we did and found them!
Nursery had really distressed my little one and she was struggling to settle with anyone but me. I was dreading leaving her as well after the nursery fiasco but Sarah and Graham were beyond brilliant. I was warmly welcomed into their home to meet them and instantly felt like they were the team for us. After explaining our previous experience they were more than accommodating. Straight away they said about following our little ones needs which I couldn’t be more thrilled about. To help her settle in, we have gone slow but steady and this has helped massively. After 6 weeks, we are all agreed our little one has settled and I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have found them! My little one has now started going in with full smiles and it makes me feel so happy that she’s happy.

Sarah has looked after my son since he was 5 months old. I honestly can’t praise her enough, she is kind, loving, caring and has become part of my family. My son absolutely adores her.
She keeps the children busy during the day with a range of activities and trips, there is no chance of them being bored. The children are always happy and settled in her setting and get on beautifully.
Sarah has helped shape my son into the wonderful, polite and helpful little boy he is today. She is keen on teaching good manners and most importantly great kindness and empathy for others.
She has helped prepare him for School and although we are back in the holidays it’s great loss to both myself and my son not seeing her on a daily basis.
You couldn’t ask for a better Childminder!

She is amazing! I would not wish for anyone else to care for my children!
Back in 2008 I was so nervous about leaving my daughter, but Sarah made the whole process easy and supportive for my partner and I. Then Elena grew up and had to go to big school. She had the most amazing time with Sarah. 2 years later and we was back at Sarah's with our 9 month old son PRAYING she had a place for him! ( I mean she is that good I would of cried if she said 'no room').
Sarah cared for him until this Christmas when we emigrated to Australia. Now I know I have a challenge trying to find anywhere half as good for him.
Sarah is kind, supportive, understanding and above all very professional.
I have never seen anyone have such a calming effect on kids.
Would I recommend her? YES!!!!!
And if you are looking around for someone then you must give her a call to see if she has any places left!

Sarah has looked after my son for the last year and is absolutely fantastic. d I am sad that her time looking after him has come to an end which is only down to him being offered a free place at the nursery where my son attends school and my husband losing his job.
I have used the services of 4 other childminders for both my children and she is head and shoulders above the rest. She treats it as her full time job (which it is!) and not just as an easy way to earn money by dumping the children in front of the TV or dragging them around the shops every day which many others do. She takes all the children out for activities virtually every day which include soft play, toddler groups, parties, walks, the park, woods, visit to Santa and many more. She always ensured he was well looked after, entertained and fed whilst in her care. She has helped him with his speech and spends time drawing, reading and doing arts and crafts with him.
My son adores her and Diesel the dog (who is a softy so no worries about dogs and children!) He made friends with all the other children and was always happy to be dropped off and happy when collected which is of paramount importance.
I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah to anyone and will keep in touch with her as we are both sad that due to financial reasons we no longer need a childminder.

I am sad to say that my daughters time with Sarah has come to an end. We began to use Sarah back in 2008 since our daughter was 18 months for 5 days a week. However she is bigger now and must go to school.
In the past 3 years our daughter has really blossomed into a well rounded individual who is confident, imaginative and polite. She has made a beautiful connection with Sarah and the other children.
I have never had any cause for concern with the care provided, I would even go as far to say that Sarah IS outstanding!
I would recommend Sarah to anyone and also in the words of my 4 year old, 'Sarah's Bear hunts are the best!'
