I have been using Sarah as a before and after school childminder for about 5 years. Origionally for both of my children but now just for one, my eldest is now at senior school.
Sarah offers a stable, nurturing environment which both of my children flurished in. Sarah is patient, fair and respectful for every childs needs. The knowledge that Sarah has is so valuble in times of need that us parents sometimes have. She is happy to help in every way possible.
My children (even my eldest who hasnt been for over a year) really enjoy and like being in Sarahs company.
If your in need of a childminder i can't recommend her enough. She's like a part of the family.
