Sarah has been looking after my little girl since Summer 2021 & she is absolutely fantastic. She has developed such a beautiful relationship with my little one and she is really happy to be dropped off and spend the day with her. Sarah goes out her way to help my little one progress with her developmental stages, keeps me updated throughout the day with texts and photos on what she is getting up to and always does different things with her such as; playgroups, going to the park, and playing with an assortment of different developmental toys. I also have a daily diary sent over after her day so I know how long she’s napped for and what she has eaten too which is very helpful to know.
I cannot recommend Sarah enough, she is truly a fabulous childminder :)

Sarah has been looking after my son for around 10 months. She takes pride in offering a warm and safe environment for all the children she takes care of.
My son has developed so much during the time he's been at her's. She does so much with him like the library, outdoor activities and general learning activities that are really fun and engaging.
She is a very genuine and loving woman that truly cares for all the children she looks after. I would recommend her to anyone.

I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. Sarah has cared for both of my children over the past 5 years and is an ideal childminder.
From day one of both our childrens care with sarah they developed a lovely relationship. They had so much fun and learning time with sarah. She treats the kids to walks in the park, fun in the garden and trips to the library and soft play areas within the carlton area
Sarah is kind, caring and trustworthy and incredibly thorough in meeting her Ofsted requirements. She is a true professional.
She always has a good range of ages in her care meaning the kids all learn from each other. All of the kids in her care are pleasant and polite and sarah works really hard to achieve high standards throughout.
She takes great pride in providing a warm,very clean and loving place for kids to grow and learn and quickly puts the worries of leaving your little ones to rest She is knowledgeable and willing to provide advice when needed but not intrusive in any way.
We would have no hesitation in recommending sarah to any parents considering her. In our view you will not find better within the nottingham area
