Our son started attending Sarah's setting when he was 10 months old (he's now 4) and has attended full time from the start. We have been absolutely delighted with the care that he's received and our son absolutely loves going to Sarah's and playing with the different toys available, as well as spending time with Sarah's family.

Sarah is extremely welcoming and warm and takes a great deal of effort and thought over the activities that she plans for the children in the setting, adapting to the ages that she has at any time. Learning through play is always age appropriate and Sarah makes great use of the surrounding area with lots of outdoor play available (weather permitting). Sarah encourages independence as the children get older (e.g. putting on a coat and shoes and hand washing) and does so with an incredible amount of patience and support. Our son regularly chats to us about his day and is without a doubt more active with Sarah than anywhere else!

Sarah gives regular updates on activities which gives a little window into a world that we otherwise don't get to see. Sarah ensures that all children have a balanced diet and encourages children to try new things and tells us of new flavours that have been a success so that we can introduce them at home.

We honestly can't recommend Sarah enough, to say that our son loves her is by no means an exaggeration, he's happy, settled and growing in confidence all the time. What a shame he can't stay with her forever!
