Below are the latest reviews for Sarah. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk.

My son started with Sarah in April at 9 months old, the day we went to meet her in her home I instantly knew she was the one, she had toys out for my son to play with and spoke me through all the details of her services and took the time to answer my questions. My son was initially very reluctant to separate from me but Sarah was so great and flexible with his transition allowing him to settle in at his pace. He now jumps from my arms and happily goes to her each morning. Sarah sends regular updates and takes the children out for a variety of activities throughout the week, my son comes home exhausted each day from all the fun he has had! I can't recommend or thank Sarah enough for how fantastic she has been for my son and my family.

My now two year old daughter has been with Sarah since October. She absolutely loves it there and has made a really special bond with her. It is a home from home environment and Sarah has now become another member of our family. We would highly recommend Sarah, and are so glad we found her for our daughter.

Sarah has been looking after our youngest for 4 months. She has been kind and understanding throughout with open communication and transparency. Our daughter has always struggled with new people however by month 3 she now happily attends and has come on leaps and bounds. I put this down to Sarah and how she helps and nurtures the children in her care.
We are extremely happy with our experience with Sarah and glad we choose her for our daughter.

Sarah had my little boy when he was just 3months old. She is very kind and caring and super easy to chat to! Nothing is too much trouble for her either, due to me being a nanny I had to leave early and Sarah always accommodated that! I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a childminder! We had spoke to a few other childminders and when we met Sarah we knew that she was the one to look after our little boy!
Thank you so much Sarah! 💕

My daughter started with Sarah when she was 5 ½ months old (February 2021). Sarah was so welcoming and our daughter settled in immediately, to the point now where she runs off to Sarah without even looking back. Sarah offers a range of activities for the children to do and likes to get them out as much as possible. We are really happy with how our daughter has developed under the care of Sarah.
