Sara has been looking after my daughter 2 days a week since 2018 (from 12 months of age) and my son as well from 2021 (from 11 months). Sara's house is clean and provides a separate area for the children and has an amazing outdoor space to care for them. Both my children can't wait to go to Sara's and my daughter often don't want to leave. She provides all meals (home cooked) which the kids love and means I don't have to cook for them when they get home at 6pm, just a bit of fruit and they are happy (unlike their nursery days, in which they require a substantial meal when they get home)!

In my experience of both childminders and nurseries, Sara provides far more feedback and sends me photographs and records of the children's day-to-day activities. My daughter has learnt so much from Sara as opposed to the nursery setting. She takes the children on day trips, teaches them about animals (growing butterflies, frogs), baking, arts and crafts etc. Sara also knew when my daughter was ready to be potty trained and within days she was fully trained (far before any children at the nursery). All the children that go to Sara are all so kind and happy and get so much out of their time with Sara.

I am very pleased and comfortable and can't thank Sara enough for everything she does for my children. My daughter will be starting school this year at Hinchley Wood and she will continue to go to Sara before and after school as well as school holidays along with my son.
