Fantastic Childminder

Reviewed

Sara has played a huge role in both my children’s lives and they look forward to ‘Sara days’ each week. Not a tear has ever been shed by either of them at drop offs and I pick 2 happy (and often exhausted) children up at the end of the day. The big problem is sometimes getting them to leave!

My son has been with her for nearly 2 years (he is 4) and my daughter a year (she is 19 months). Sara has played an active role in their development and understands who they are and what their needs are.

Their days are filled with lots of fun activities both at home and out and about – there is no such thing as a boring day with Sara. She has a good network of other childminders who she meets up with on a regular basis so the children have lots of opportunities to interact with other children. Excursions are always exciting and purposeful.

I receive a daily diary at the end of each day so I know exactly what has happened that day. She also keeps a learning journal which I see every few weeks which is done beautifully with photos of excursions and various pictures/crafts they have done.

She has 2 delightful and well mannered older children who my children love and look up to.

Sara is a childminder who goes the extra mile and does far more than anyone can ever expect from a childminder. Whilst she is warm, caring and loving towards my children she is firm and disciplined and goes about her job in a very professional manner. It is so reassuring for any parent to leave their children in such capable hands.
