Sarah_May's 5 Star Reviews

100% Recommend!

I’m struggling to find the words to express my gratitude for the service Sarah provides! Going back to work after my youngest seemed like such a dreadful thought as she was very attached and I couldn’t bare the thought of her upset without me. I was so shocked when within a week my daughter would throw her arms out when she saw Sarah and would leave without even looking back! The reassurance and constant communication Sarah provided me with really made the transition going back to work a joy! Not to mention the pictures and video updates throughout the day of my little girl laughing and playing away. Sarah attended a playgroup with my little group and I have really seen her social skills grow since then, she’s come on leaps and bounds since attending Sarahs service. Sarah provided me with constant information and answered any of my questions I had regarding development and kept me updated on her development milestones and how we could best work together to make sure my little girl was thriving! The home to home feel Sarah provides is something I haven’t found anywhere else. She provides a safe, loving, nurturing and fun environment. She’s always open for a chat and really does become like one of the family! Not to mention the yummy meals- safe to say I was jealous some days picking up my little one and I could smell the delicious dinner! I will forever be thankful for the time my daughter spent with Sarah and I would highly recommend her to anyone!!!!

Wonderful Childminder!

We've used Sarah to look after our little boy for over a year now and honestly, couldn't ask for anyone better. She is caring, diligent, kind, trustworthy and fun! Our little boy comes home full of the fun things they've been up to and I know I just don't have to worry when he's there because he's always having a good time. She has the patience of a saint. I'm so glad we picked Sarah (and our little boy is too!)

The best childminder we could have asked for

Sarah has been looking after our daughter for 2.5 years and she's just started looking after our 1 year old son, who is so far absolutely loving going to Sarah's and has settled in very quickly. Both my children absolutely adore Sarah and we couldn't be more grateful for the quality of care she provides. She is friendly, personable, loving, full of great ideas and treats our children like her own. I like especially the wide variety of activities she involves the children in both at home and outdoors, taking them to many different groups every week as well as lots of outdoor adventures. She is also a great cook and makes tasty meals that both my children enjoy. My daughter has developed so much in Sarah's care and she continues to do so in preparation for starting school in September. Sarah is always available for any questions at any time of day and is always ready to report anything that might have happened during the day. She is super organized, efficient and she's a lot of fun too. We consider ourselves blessed to have found her and wouldn't know what to do without her. Highly recommend her to anyone who might be looking for a childminder who considers children in her care as family rather than just her business.

Fantastic childminder and setting

I am a primary school teacher. Sarah is the only person outside of our family that we trust to look after our child.

Our son is provided with a warm and welcoming environment, he is loved and he is encouraged. He is constantly provided with new experiences and activities that help with his mental, social, emotional and physical development. As a teacher myself, we were looking for a childcare setting that would be as comfortable as home as well as keeping him stimulated so that he was ready for school. We feel that Sarah provides that challenge so our son can hit his developmental and early learning goals. We have been impressed with the well thought out activities, the trips, the social groups he attends and the learning through play that Sarah provides. Despite a difficult time when the pandemic hit, Sarah remained professional supporting us as a family and making sure that our son had routine. She kept in close contact with us updating us on her procedures. She was determined to create a ‘normal’ experience for the children as much as possible. Our son was provided with activities and play in a safe environment and we are thankful that his routine was maintained. We think it is due to Sarah, and the care that she provided, that our son had maintained his social skills. Through every developmental stage Sarah has provided advice, support and reassurance every step of the way. She has assessed where she thinks he is with his development and targets to move him on. We are always aware of how we can support him at home and what she is working on in the childcare setting. Sarah sends us daily pictures,videos and updates which we really appreciate. Sarah promotes an inclusive environment and celebrates diversity which we believe to be very important. Sarah has quickly become part of our family and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to look after their child.
