Fantastic. Home from home.

My son was with Sarah for a few years on a regular basis and my daughter attended during the school holidays. Sarah was truly fantastic. Always providing a great learning environment with lots of activities and great food. My kids always came home with smiles on their faces having had a great day, and even now they ask if they can go back.

it's not a childminder, it's a home from home

We have found Sarah at the height of the pandemic when we gradually realised that a busy nursery won't be able to manage the complexity and sensitivity of the measures imposed by COVID. This is one of the best decisions we have made, not only because it enables me to go back to work without worrying but also knowing that my child will be loved and disciplined like at home, or even better as evident from eating vegetables that he won't touch at home! There is a good variety of homemade food and fruits on offer everyday, so much so that we aren't worried he skips his dinner occasionally knowing that he has been well feed at Sarah's. During the past 1 and a half years, we have also got the opportunity to know Sarah's husband Simon and sons who generously shared their home with the children. Simon talks gently, with a great sense of humour. Her adult sons are always warm and polite. What better advertise for a childminder than her own family! I highly recommend Sarah for preschoolers for the reason that they won't be taken on school runs instead visiting parks, playgroups and library when weather permits. The only complaint I have is that she only opens 4 days a week!

Highly Recommend

My daughter has thrived at Sarah's warm and inviting home over the last 2 years. Sarah always puts me at ease and I know that my daughter is in a safe, nurturing environment. They always are singing, playing in the garden, eating the best home-cooked wholesome food and going on park adventures. My daughter loves Sarah's home and has made lots of friends with the other children. She was very sad to leave when she started school but gets excited when the holidays come around and she gets to go back. Please don't hesitate to use Sarah, she has made the transition back to work for a first time mum a lot less daunting.

Accommodating, welcoming, all round excellent

I cannot speak more highly of the fantastic environment and support that Sarah provides. As a first time mum, I knew it was going to be difficult leaving my 13 month old with someone else when I started back at work. Fortunately, Sarah completely understood this and went out of her way to help us all through the process. She was more than welcoming in the weeks prior to my son starting with her, inviting us for numerous visits and spending time getting to know him and what toys he liked. When he did start, Sarah made sure she always had his favourite toys on hand and quickly work out what he needed, wanted, and liked. She also, without fail, sends an update and photo each day to let me know how he is and what he's doing - It's so nice to see his smiling face to break up the work day! Additionally, Sarah has been really accommodating in terms of his schedule and adapted her plans accordingly. She checks in each morning so she knows how he has been and anything she might need to know to make sure they have a lovely day together. And they always have lovely days - playing with all sorts of toys, singing songs, drawing, going to the park and out for walks among many other things! I really can't recommend Sarah more - thank you so much for everything you have done for us!

Excellent Childcare and Peace of Mind

We cannot recommend Lili Wen Fach Childminding enough! My little one has come along leaps and bounds under Sarah's care, good food, good company and lots of toys to play with, she has been to Sarah's house from age 1 1/2 to 3. Sarah always put my first-time-mum nerves at ease with her years of experience. My daughter thrived in the loving home environment, and especially looked forward to sunny summer days in the garden. Sarah encourages independent play and exploration. When my daughter is at Sarah's I feel like I am not constantly worrying because I know she is in safe hands. Sarah enabled me to go back to university and work, and I know that she has all the documents needed to fulfill the requirements for student grants, local council grants, or the tax-free childcare scheme.

We will sorely miss Sarah, her house, and the lovely children that my daughter has grown up alongside.
