Where Little Minds Shine Bright

My Experience

I have been a mum since 2003 when my first son was born. Since then I have been blessed with 4 further children born in 2011, 2012 and 2016 and my 5th baby born May 2020

I have been running my setting since February 2012, gained experience through training and day to day experiences with the children I care for.

My goal is to ensure that all children feel at home, in my home, and I feel that I have accomplished that over the years with many children feeling that they are part of our family.

Really happy with childcare here. My 10 month old son has been going for a couple of months and is always smiling and happy to go in. Great communication and all staff are friendly and helpful.

I honestly cannot recommend Sara and her team enough, they have looked after my daughter for the last 2.5 years, within this time they have not only been childminders but also friends.
My daughter loved her time at the setting so much! We're gutted her time there has now come to an end, as she will be starting school in September.
Sara is very flexible and tries her best to meet your needs, the facilities are second to none and the staff are so lovely!
If you are looking for a home from home, you don't need to look any further!

I have my 14 months old boy at Sara's since he was 3 weeks old. From the first day I was satisfied with the way they take care of my child.
Every morning I am going to work relaxed and happy knowing that my little boy is getting the best care. Sara is a lovely person and the staff is great. If I have to choose between Sara and another childcare provider, I will choose her every time.

My son has only been with sara for a few weeks but straight from the start she made us and Oscar feel so welcome. Its really is a homely environment which i love. There's so much for them to do and i love love love her cabin outside for the children. I would highly recommend her to friends and family. I feel 100% comfortable leaving my son there. All the girls are brilliant. Always friendly and chatty.
