Sarah was child-minder for our 2 sons, Isaac (2) and James (8) from October 2012 to July 2013. She has looked after Isaac for 3 full days a week and picked James up from school twice a week.
Both boys settled in to being cared for by Sarah immediately, she provides a safe, caring and stimulating environment for all the children she looks after.
Isaac has really thrived in Sarah’s care. She has a large array of toys and activities, indoors and outdoors and also takes the children on lovely trips out to playgroups, parks or even to fab places like Wisley for the day. She provides thorough and informative daily feedback on what they have been up to each day with a diary and also completes a developmental progress record in line with EYFS guidelines. Sarah also takes some great pictures of what Isaac gets up to and regularly emails them.
Sarah is a very approachable and knowledgeable child-minder and it’s easy to see why she is rated by Ofsted as outstanding.
Both our boys are very sad to be leaving Sarah’s care and we are only moving on having managed to secure a nursery place for Isaac that perfectly matches my complicated shift working pattern.
It is a big wrench returning to work and leaving young children in someone else’s care but we have learnt that a child-minder is the perfect first step and Sarah is the perfect child-minder!
Thanks so much from all of us x
