Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Sara. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
From the moment you meet Sara you instantly feel part of her family. My son loves going to Sara house, so much so he runs to her front door & some mornings I dont even get a goodbye hug because he is so happy to be there, he will just shout bye from the living room. As a parent leaving your babies is such a hard thing to do but this alone speaks volumes. Since being with Sara his confidence has grown, his development has come on greatly. Sara has been great at teaching my son new things, the different activities they get up to I would never have thought of. Sara generally cares for the children she takes care of and it is very clear to see, this is not just a job to her. The regular pictures she sends make my day, it so reassuring. Sara is always there to discuss any concerns you have and shares her tips and tricks to ease them. Honestly I dont know what I would do with out her, I trust her fully. Such an amazing woman!

My daughter Robyn has been under the care of Sara for over a year and a half and I can honestly say I am so happy that we found her. She has shown my daughter nothing but love since the day Robyn walked through the door and has given me the confidence to return to work full time knowing that my child will be well looked after.
Robyn has often come home with stories of all the fun things she has done, places she has been and hands full of arts and crafts. She has told me many times how much she loves Sara and her ‘best friends’ at Sara’s house.
Sara is a very kind and caring childminder who fully supports each child’s individual needs and gives them the tools they need to excel. She reports back to us when Robyn has met a developmental milestone and will work with us if we think Robyn needs any additional support with anything at all.
We receive e-leaflets and physical leaflets with the latest government and childcare guidelines and her health and safety standards are excellent. Every slip trip or fall is reported to us and any medication that Robyn needs to take is logged and discussed. We really appreciate how protocol is always strictly followed while the atmosphere remains a relaxed and enjoyable environment for our children to flourish.
I would recommend Sara’s services to anyone as I believe that any child would benefit from spending time in her safe hands. She truly does treat all children like a member of her own family and I think all of the children see her as a member of theirs.

I have been taking my daughter to Sara for 7 months now and she loves it. Now as being a first time mum like for anyone this was new for me and I was so nervous about going back to work and I had so many questions regarding feeding sleeping etc and Sara just put my mind at ease. Sara constantly updates me with pictures and videos of my daughter during the day.
When I pull up to Sara's house my daughter just goes crazy constantly saying Sara's name and her children.
When I am not working my daughter still mentions her name and her children and even the dogs lol..
I would recommend Sara to everyone she is just down to earth and my daughter loves going there to play I am so grateful everyday for Sara because I can go to work knowing my child is in safe hands and is having a blast everytime that she is there.
Thank you Sara for everything you have done and are continuing to do for our family xxx

My daughter has been going to Sara's for 9 months now and from day one she has loved it. When we pick her up she doesn't want to leave but will spend the whole ride home talking about her day.
She is very open and sends plenty of photos of the kids trying out new activities and learning new skills.
My daughter often wakes up asking if she can play at Sara's house and it makes me so happy that shes created such a lovely bond with her childminder.

Sara started looking after my daughter when i went back to work after my maternity leave ended, she was 7 months old.
I have an older daughter but had never had to leave her with someone who wasn't family so leaving my baby with Sara, who I didn't really know back then, on that first day was like torture but Sara promised me she would take care of my baby like she was one of her own and she really put me at ease. She has never gone back on that promise and she has the most amazing relationship with my daughter even to this day and my daughter is now 5 years old.
Its wonderful seeing the bond between them. My daughter loves Sara so much, she is a second mother to her. I know that when My daughter is having a bad day and I'm not there Sara and her 2 children (who are also amazing with her and treat her like a member of their family) will make her feel safe and give her the comfort she needs.
Sara was also a fantastic help when it came to important stages in my daughters life like weaning and toilet training. I could tell Sara how I wanted to approach it and I could trust that she would follow my instructions to keep the process consistent. Sara would also send me lots of pictures throughout the day so I could see the fun they were having together, which usually ended up with my daughter being wet right through in the summer from playing with the water tray in the garden or covered in paint or sand or planting seeds or whatever other creative activity they had been doing that day, but I never minded because that meant she had had a great time and was learning through play.
My daughter is a very strong minded, confident child and just happens to be a clever little sausage who has always been ahead of her expected age group on the EYFS scale and is still excelling in most of the subjects she is being taught at school.
I am sure my daughter is the happy, well mannered, sociable little girl she is today because of the love and encouragement Sara and her family have shown her over the last 5 years. I am so grateful to them for making being a working mother so easy by taking amazing care of my child. Thank you guys... Love you loads xxx
