Sarah has been our childminder since April, for our 1yo Teddy and 3yo Florence. We struggled to find childcare locally that felt right for our children, and after several false starts found Sarah, who felt right from day one.
Her settling-in process was thorough, offering enough time for our children to feel secure in her care, and for us as parents to know we could go to work and not worry about our children.
Teddy attends 2 full-day sessions, and Sarah provides care post-preschool for Florence on these days, even collecting her from school. In school holidays Sarah has been flexible in allowing Florence to spend full-days with her.
Both children have formed a close bond with Sarah, and the “family” they spend their days with. We’re particularly impressed with Sarah’s structured approach to learning through play, and her attention to detail when it comes to progress reports and daily diary entries. It’s clear that a great deal of effort goes into planning care and sessions for all those Sarah looks after, and this shows in our children’s continued development in their time with her. Additionally she has been happy to continue our baby-led approach to Teddy when it comes to naps, food and play routines.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Sarah when we did, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!
