I have met very few people who have such a natural affinity with children! My son has been going to her for eighteen months now and the whole experience has been fantastic. Sarah's so welcoming and her house is like a second home for the children she looks after. She is very knowledgeable and practical and yet is also extremely kind, with a great sense of humour. My son has just turned three and is now off to nursery, but I'm genuinely sad that he won't be going to Sarah's anymore- he has had a great experience with her. Thoroughly recommended!

Sarah has looked after our son, who’s now two and a half, for the last year. I cannot speak highly enough of the care she’s provided. He came to her having been very unsettled at nursery, becoming very distraught when I left. But with Sarah, he settled in immediately, and has gone from strength to strength under her care. He now shares with other children, always says please and thank you, is potty trained and has learnt so much from all of the activities they do. Not only that but she has been an incredible source of advice on all things toddler; such as potty training and difficult behaviour. You name it, she’s got a solution. I really don’t know what we’d have done without her!

Sarah is simply amazing! My little one loves going to hers and when he comes back home he can't stop talking about Sarah and what he has done through the day. Sarah is also amazing in helping out through a child's milestones (poti training and remove of the dummy). Very easy and comfortable to talk to and she focus on the children 's wellbeing.

Sarah has cared for our son for the past year, from age 1yr 8 months to 2yrs 8 months. He settled in quickly & soon loved going to her house and playing with the other children there, going out to playgroups, etc. I can't thank her enough for all the care and support she's given our son. Under her care, he has developed in leaps and bounds: learning to share toys and take turns, showing kindness to younger children, saying please and thank you. He's changed from a big baby into a little boy that we're proud of.

Overall
Our daughter went to Sarah at a time when she was struggling with the hustle and bustle of a nursery setting. Sarah's expertise showed, as she quickly built an excellent relationship with our child, bringing her on enormously in terms of her speech, confidence and well-being. Sarah is not only highly professional, but warm and caring to children and parents alike - I would not hesitate to recommend her to other parents looking for high quality childcare.
