Sarah has been caring for my 2.5yr old since she was 6months old and my daughter loves going there. Sarah is kind, patient and has a very friendly attitude. Her environment is lovely and is inclusive to children of all abilities. She provides fun and engaging activities and regularly takes her mindees out for various trips or visits to different playgroups etc. Sarah provides daily updates and will work together with parents to support their child’s development. I’m glad that I chose Sarah rather than a nursery. I love the home from home feeling and the fact that my daughter can just be herself! My daughter is thriving in her care and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

Sarah is fantastic with my daughter. She always takes her to fun places such as soft play, interactive museums and countless parks! Always reliable and I have complete confidence in her. I would highly recommend her.

Sarah has been taking care of our little girl since she was 9 month old. In her care, our baby has had a tremendous social and intellectual development. Sarah maintains a diary so that we can view the day-to-day fun activities that she has carefully planned for the children in her care. We have always felt that Sarah welcomes any discussions or suggestions regarding our daughter's care with lots of patience and great attitude. Sarah has also shown lots of flexibility, for the odd days which may finish slightly earlier or later than usual. I can see that our baby girl has truly bonded with Sara, and is enjoying a full range of daily experiences that I am not able to give her due to my work constraints. As a mum, I can feel that Sara truly cares for my daughter, which enables me to go for work with my mind fully at peace.
