I am writing this reference as I really want to express how fantastic Sarah is. We came to Sarah just over two years ago when we already had two very bad experiences in childcare. Izzy was finding it difficult to settle due to these recent changes but she instantly took to Sarah and her family and ever since then has been so happy. Even after we go away on holiday for two weeks when you would expect her to find it difficult to go back, she runs to Sarah. It’s a great feeling to know that Izzy is so cared for when we are working.
Sarah provides a great range of activities and tailors them to each child, she quickly saw Izzy’s love of arts and crafts and allowed extra time, resources and flexibility to do this, which we really appreciate.
Throughout the year there is a new theme each month which means that nothing is ever the same and Izzy learns so much from all the different approaches to learning that Sarah implements such as the themed crafts, stories or toys.
Throughout the day through Sarah’s updates I really feel involved and part of it, through the pictures and videos sent. This is something I again I really appreciate as Izzy and I like to look through the pictures together and talk about her day.
At every key milestone Sarah has been so supportive both to Izzy and us, an example is the effort Sarah puts in to supporting Izzy learning German by purchasing special books, providing us with example resources and counting together. Another example is with potty training, Sarah saw how well Izzy was getting on and gave me the confidence to continue and extend to trying it at night. Without her insight and encouragement I believe we wouldn’t have made the move as quickly as we did and it worked out perfectly.
Sarah records all the milestones in very detailed learning journals and puts so much effort into these that are really a testament to how dedicated she is.
Sarah is thoughtful, caring, insightful, supportive and dedicated and we all love her and feel so lucky to have her looking after Izzy.
I honestly cannot rate Sarah highly enough.
