Sarah has been looking after my Son Daniel since Summer 2013. I have found her to be an excellent childcare provider who offers a caring and stimulating environment for all the children she looks after.

She has a great choice of toys and activities in her home and children are guided in play. One of the points I particularly like about Sarah is that she takes the children to different groups everyday allowing them the opportunity to socialise and mix with other children by joining in the various arts, crafts and activities offered. Daniel comes home every day with something he has made or done at a class which is lovely to see and be part of his days activities. He also takes part in messy play, songs and story-time. In the summer there are plenty of trips to the park and they get out into the fresh air as much as possible.

During school holidays they have trips to music/movement classes held at the Lights or trips to the farm (with parents permission and parents fund) I feel this adds variety to Daniels days and allows him increased opportunity to mix and socialise and learn about the world around him.

Sarah is easy to communicate with and is very caring and loving with all the children. Since attending Sarah's setting Daniel has increased in confidence and developed lots of great self care skills including beginning to get himself dressed, putting his shoes and coat on etc, he has also developed with his manners saying please and thank you for example. Sarah works hard to encourage good manners and caring for each other in her setting which leads to a calm environment.

I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a childminder who is dedicated to child development and well-being. Sarah is a very experienced and knowledgeable childcare provider and this is evident in her work and how much she cares for the children . Daniel is certainly very happy in Sarah's care.
