I have been leaving my ten month old daughter with Sara since I returned to work following maternity leave and she has made this transition much easier than I feared. I have a particularly clingy child and we knew this transition would be a challenge. Sara communicated with us through the whole process so we were very well informed about how the transition would work and what would happen. Once we started leaving her we realised more settling in visits would be required. Sara was amazingly responsive to this extra need and without hesitation sorted out these visits. We slowly increased the length of the visits over the days and through each visit we received photos and updates from Sara about our baby. This meant a lot to me as I felt I could concentrate on my work and not have to worry. If she was unsettled Sara didn't try to push and was very aware of the baby's comfort level and put this first in her decision making. We have now settled in lovely and my daughter is always happy to go. Sara shares photos of what she has been doing through out the day and has a variety of activities. All the activities she does seem to be well thought out from a developmental and social aspect as well as being varied and fun. Letting the child explore and expelling all that energy they seem to have. The communication Sara has with her parents is excellent and she very loving and warm to all the children that come to her. I am very happy and comfortable that we chose Sara to look after our most important person.
