Could not recommend Sara's enough. I know every time they get collected from school by Sara or Gabi that they're in safe hands and they'll be well looked after and cared for. Ultimately all you want for your children is for them to be happy and safe and if you can't look after them yourself then Sara's is the next best thing. She provides a warm and loving environment where they are well fed and nurtured. Sara and Gabi are approachable and very accommodating and I trust them whole heartedly with my children

My girls have been going to Sara's childcare for 3 years now, my eldest who is 9 attends during the school holidays and my youngest who is 3 goes full time as I work Monday to Friday.
Both girls adore Sara and Gabi and I would truly be lost without them! They are both extremely professional, loving and in tune with every child they care for.
My youngest is being monitored for Autism and Sara has been amazing, she has even bought sensory toys to help Jessie with her development and speech. She is always encouraging and very patient with her if Jessie is struggling with something.
There are always activities such as nature walks, arts and craft and trips to the park. Mealtimes are always well balanced and homemade, Jessie will sometimes struggle with different foods and textures but the care and time taken shows me nothing is too much trouble.
I totally trust Sara's judgement and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare.
The little videos and pictures she sends me of the girls get me through my shift...As I say we would be lost without her! Thankyou Sara and Gabi.

My Son, George, has attended Sara's Childminding service since he was 11 months old. He is my third child and the first time I have ever used a Childminder as prior to this my elder children went to Nursery. Unfortunately, I have to work 5 days per week and we have no help from our family so Sara and Gabi are the only support Network we have for George.
George is well looked after, fed well, cared for, meeting all milestones, independent, chatty (above where he should be for communication and language), he is sociable, kind, strong willed, polite, will eat most foods, can take turns, his motor skills are developing well, he is funny, likeable and just full of personality. He has absolutely thrived with Sara and Gabi.
Let's not make any bones here, Sara and Gabi are basically bringing George up for me as I have to work 5 days. Which is so sad for me, but the fact I know how well he is looked after and how much fun he has eases my pain. He took his first steps at Sara's (a milestone I missed because of work), but, because there is 2 of them, it was filmed so I got to see. Sara is doing an amazing job, he is a gorgeous little boy who I am very proud of and Sara and Gabi's input has massively shaped this.
Sara is a fantastic communicator, very flexible, very caring, interested in us and our lives. She plans amazing things for the children in her care and they have all created a gorgeous bond which is second to none. She takes them on fun activities and has an unbelievable knack of getting them to wear rain suits in bad weather! She takes beautiful pictures of them out and about and shares them with us so when we are away from George we see what fun he has which is lovely and helps to ease my full time working mum guilt, which is real.
I completely recommend this childminder and just wish my husband would let me have another baby so I could continue to use them!
Thank you so much for all you do to take care you the children. You are fantastic and we wholeheartedly recommend you to any parents. :)

Sara and her daughter Gabby have been so welcoming towards me and my son Harry.
They are both extremely professional, caring and compassionate. My son absolutely loves going, and he has come on so much in regards to his learning and development.
I would recommend to anyone who has little ones.
The environment is loving and just like a little family!

Sara and Gabi are fantastic childminders. My little boy loves going so much so we will be sending our new baby too. Since attending, my little boy has gained confidence and knowledge about all sorts via trips out to the farm or the local woodland. His speech and selfcare has also improved vastly since being with Sara. She not only is amazing with our little boy but she helps me and my husband out too, giving little tips about potty training or bed time and on the odd occasion our little boy has been upset going in she has always reassured us he has settled down with photographs etc. Fantastic, couldn't recommend enough! She puts her self out for my boy and I couldn't ask for more!
