Sarah has looked after my son for the last year and is absolutely fantastic. d I am sad that her time looking after him has come to an end which is only down to him being offered a free place at the nursery where my son attends school and my husband losing his job.
I have used the services of 4 other childminders for both my children and she is head and shoulders above the rest. She treats it as her full time job (which it is!) and not just as an easy way to earn money by dumping the children in front of the TV or dragging them around the shops every day which many others do. She takes all the children out for activities virtually every day which include soft play, toddler groups, parties, walks, the park, woods, visit to Santa and many more. She always ensured he was well looked after, entertained and fed whilst in her care. She has helped him with his speech and spends time drawing, reading and doing arts and crafts with him.
My son adores her and Diesel the dog (who is a softy so no worries about dogs and children!) He made friends with all the other children and was always happy to be dropped off and happy when collected which is of paramount importance.
I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah to anyone and will keep in touch with her as we are both sad that due to financial reasons we no longer need a childminder.
