Both of my children have been with Sarah since they were 12 months old, she’s like part of the family
My son is now 7 and still wants to spend time at Sarah’s in the school holidays and my daughter is 3 and just starting school nursery.
Sarah has looked after both my children full time while I worked, she sends updates all day long, photos and texts which really puts your mind at ease, and makes you feel less bad for having to send them to childcare as you know how much fun they are having.
Sarah ensures the children are never bored she is constantly coming up with new ideas to keep them entertained and occupied, she regularly takes them to parks, play centres, museums, playgroups, libraries and many more places
Sarah’s house is set up perfectly as a childcare setting and is immaculate.
I have always felt at ease leaving my children in Sarah’s care she is fully insured and regularly takes extra courses so she is up to date with the latest rules and safety guidelines.
I could not recommend Sarah to anyone enough.

My eldest child has been with Sarah for nearly three years (he's just left to go to pre-school) and my younger son is still with her now. She's an amazing childminder and I'm so glad I found her.
My first son started childcare with three miserable weeks at another childminder and thankfully I realised that there must be better out there and reached out to Sarah. He settled at hers within two visits!
She takes them to loads of different playgroups and does lots of special activity days with them - they've been to various museums and farms and soft-plays with her. Her home space for them is also lovely and full of toys and games, and is immaculately clean.
She's fantastic at keeping in touch with you throughout the day about what your little one is up to and sends lovely photos through to you. She's made some really special gifts over the years using the photos.
Sarah is always proactive in communicating any issues that come up e.g. if it's an appropriate time to potty train/any behavioural issues, and is very supportive and generous with her knowledge and experience from decades of childminding. However, she has always respected my choices/opinions.
She is incredibly helpful and my sons have both loved going to hers and ask after her when we're away on holiday and get excited when they know they're going to see her again. I know my eldest will miss her a lot and that my toddler will continue to thrive with her.

There are not enough stars to rate Sarah highly enough!
Our now three year old has gone to Sarah for almost a year now, and I couldn’t be more happy with the care she provides. Our son absolutely loves spending the day with her, and she offers such a wide range of activities for the children. Every day, the children are taken out to a group, activity, or class. They frequently have picnics or lunch out, and when at home, Sarah cooks a meal for them.
Her house is perfectly set for little ones, as is her car for transporting them from place to place, providing all the carseats needed for travel so that parents don't need to.
Sarah really settled my nerves when leaving my child for the first time with her, by providing frequent check-ins throughout the day, letting me know what they were doing, nap times, what he’d been given for lunch, and any other details that she thought we’d like to know. She has continued to do this every day since, and it really makes a huge difference, knowing that he is happy, enjoying his day, and eating well. I love getting pictures of my child seeing him having an amazing day with his friends and with her.
Thank you Sarah for the significant part you have played in our son’s toddler years so far. We have loved having you look after O.
Sarah’s flexibility has also helped us out a number of times, when needing last minute childcare on days we wouldn't normally need, changing hours, or childcare over the school holidays. She really goes above and beyond to help where she can, and we are so grateful to have this.
There is no doubt. She is absolutely fabulous.

Tali has been coming to Sarah a year next month, she really helped me taking care of tali during holidays. I’d remembered when I was so desperate but she’s the only one who accommodate me and I’m a glad.
Tali likes her so much and always looking forward to come every school holidays and I am very please.
Sarah is very nice lady and kind and I’m very lucky to find her, she’s a gem.
She took my girl in any places with plenty of activities, which tali is looking forward and Sarah always gives the best activities to children.
I am very lucky to find her

Where do I start?! Sarah has looked after my two children for a total of 2.5 years, after I took them out of nursery for a cheaper alternative. We, very sadly, had to say goodbye last month because my 3 year old son has now started pre-school but I would happily have sent my children to her for years to come!
Sarah is extraordinary. The perfect mix of kind, caring and nurturing towards the children, pro-active and always thinking of new ideas and activities for the children. She is flexible and accommodating and has helped me out on countless occasions for last minute requests for childcare or if I’ve been running late. She communicates throughout the day with updates and photos or explains why she can’t for any reason. The children adore her and clearly feel safe and happy in her care. She takes the children out to numerous interesting places and no two days are the same. She has taken mine to the beach, to the Peak District on the train, museums, safari parks, water parks, farms!
She has a close network of other childminders and so my son could socialise with bigger groups of children as well, which I liked. She knows every play group in Greater Manchester! She can deal with any problems or hiccups wonderfully and with patience and calm. She has a lovely home and a sweet family, who are always very pleasant.
I can’t recommend Sarah enough. She has been life changing to my family. I’ve been so confident that my children are safe and happy with her. I would have another child just to use her again! Thank you.

Our daughter Anya has been going to Sarah since she was one. We are so glad we found her she has been amazing. Anya was very shy to start with but connected and felt at ease with Sarah straight away, and Sarah has really helped bring her out of her shell & overcome her confidence issues. Sarah has a lot of patience and great energy with the kids and always goes above and beyond. She gives the kids such a great variety of experiences, going out to different places each day, such as playgroups, parks, museums, and exciting day trips in the holidays. We receive updates and pictures throughout the day of her activities which we love to see and really appreciate.
Anya is 3 now and due to start pre-school next week. She will be sad to leave as she loves Sarah & has made some close friendships with the kids in the group, but she will still go back to Sarah during school holidays, which she will really look forward to. Thank you Sarah for everything!

Our son Toto has been with Sarah for two years now. Right from the start she greeted him with love and affection, making the difficult task of leaving him so much easier. Her home is clean, warm, inviting and fun. Toto’s days with Sarah are jam packed with play groups, walks, park visits, train journeys and even a trip to Gulliver’s World. My husband and I are kept updated throughout the day with photos, videos and information on his eating and naps. We are so thankful for the wonderful care of our son. He loves her and will miss her dearly when he starts school this week. Thank you so much Sarah!

Sarah has had my son Cillian since he was 9 months old. I was very nervous leaving him but Sarah instantly put me at ease. I always had regular updates on how he is and his progress.
My son has a bad dairy allergy and Sarah helped so much with this within his meals etc. Sarah would also cater for Cillian when they were out and about which saved me so much time.
My son had an amazing time with Sarah and when he went in to a school nursery (due to location) we still wanted to keep him with Sarah Atleast a day because she was so amazing. She has an amazing energy and truly cares for all the children in her care.
Thank you so much for everything whilst Cillian was with you. If we had not moved then he most definitely would still be with you. Xx

What can I say, Sarah has been absolutely fantastic!
I’m a first time mum and my daughter was 8 months old when I found Sarah.
I needed to do a few ad-hoc days at work and Sarah was totally flexible with the dates I needed and with a few additional days I needed to add on within the agreed period.
My daughter had only been going to Sarah for a few weeks when she became very ill and was hospitalised for a few weeks. Sarah was so supportive and especially so when she went back to Sarah after coming out of hospital.
Sarah looked after my daughter as if she was her own. They did activities everyday which my daughter absolutely loved. I noticed my daughter started eating better and more after a couple of days with Sarah.
My daughter came home spotless every single day with everything clean and back in the changing bag (I remarked to my other half on more than one occasion that I simply “don’t know how she does it”!)
I know my daughter enjoyed her days with Sarah and I’m gutted that she will now be going to Nursery.
If you are lucky enough to have Sarah as your childminder you need not ever worry, she’s absolutely brilliant and I would trust her wholeheartedly with my children anytime - she’s a real-life Manchester Mary Poppins!

Sarah was just amazing with my son, I got regular updates of his activities, she goes above and beyond to make sure the kids enjoy their time with her. Regular visits to parks, playgroups and plenty of toys to keep them entertained. Would highly recommend Sarah.
