We are so lucky to have found Sarah. She's an incredible child minder and all around human. She's been taking care of our little one since he was 6 months old and we can't recommend her enough. She's loving, caring and very knowledgeable. Always willing to help and to be flexible when needed. We are really grateful to be working with her.

Sarah is super caring and attentive with our daughter. She's been with Sarah for the last six months since just after her first birthday. During this time they've developed a wonderful bond that is great to see. Sarah has helped our daughter take her first steps, and progress in her phonics & language. They also go on plenty of adventures which we always get pictures of. Sarah has been real asset to us as first time parents, using her years of experience to help us navigate toddlerhood! Overall we're very pleased with Sarah and would highly recommend.

Sarah has been looking after our little boy one day a week for the past four months, beginning just before his first birthday. Sarah has always been super communicative, and sends lots of photos of the children on their adventures during the day! She finds great activities for them in the local area. We are so grateful to her for her advice re: naps, weaning, bottles etc. Spending days at Sarah’s has helped our little boy become more socialised and used to playing with other children. He is always happy to see her in the morning when she collects him which makes things so much easier. Thankyou Sarah!

Our daughter absolutely loves Sarah, as do we. She's supported us and been so communicative and helpful, especially in helping us to feel ok about everything at the very beginning. She takes the kids on really fun trips and keeps us updated all day long with pics and observations. She's very invested in our daughter's development and is great at recommending things to help her e.g crawling/eating etc. It's very clear to us how genuine Sarah's love and support for our daughter really is. We feel so at ease with our daughter in her care; she can't wait to see her each morning and gets so excited.

Sarah has been looking after our son for two days a week since January 2021, when he was 13 months old. We feel so lucky to have found her. Sarah is a kind, intelligent person who is at once easy-going and extremely responsible. She has seemingly boundless energy and a brilliant sense of humour. We wave goodbye to our son in the mornings confident that he will be spending his day in a loving environment, where he will have lots of fun and have his mind stretched by the amazing activities and outings that Sarah organises. We can't imagine a better childminder.
