Sarita

Fantastic Childminder

We've had our son with Sarita since he was in P2 (he'll shortly be going into P5) and I can honestly say that we're sad she's no longer covering our school as we would have kept our son with her until he started high school.
Our son has been really happy with Sarita and has felt so comfortable and welcomed. Sarita is really loving and caring with the children and makes sure they are happy and healthy. She goes out of her way to have activities for them, whether that's board games or a trip to the local park when the weather is good. Ourselves and our son will be very sad to say goodbye to her. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing childcare.

Outstanding service

I’m alone parent and Sarita has been huge part for my child and we as a family for the last 18 months; I’m grateful for that. Sarita is reliable, kind , caring and welcoming. Sarita’s openness made me feel comfortable to discuss anything with her about my child. My nine old son loved and enjoyed going to the park and a wide range of activities that Sarita offered such as monopoly. I am happy and satisfied with the care that my child received from Sarita.

Fantastic childminder

Sarita has been looking after our two boys age 7 and 9 for the last 18 months before school. We would highly recommend Sarita as a childminder. Our boys received a high level of care. Sarita is kind, caring and loving to the children. Our boys loved to go to Sarita in the mornings before school, where they would get breakfast and according to our 7 year old "Sarita has the best breakfasts" The boys were made to feel completely at home at Sarita's. On the kids birthdays they would get a treat and quite often at the end of term Sarita would take the kids for a fun afternoon at the park then home for party games. Unfortunately Sarita doesn't cover our school area now and as a family we are gutted. The boys are really going to miss Sarita and the environment she has created in the mornings. As a family we knew our kids were in safe hands.

Lovely, fun and caring childminder

Sarita looked after my P1 son after school and on occasion for a whole day during the holidays. The kids are a lovely 'crew' and clearly feel really at home with Sarita and at her home. She cultivates a family atmosphere and integration of the children she looks after so they become friends, including with her own son. Whenever the weather is good, she takes the children to the park, providing a variety of snacks and really putting in effort to offer something for the children's tastes and family preferences. At home, she has plenty of toys and activities on offer, including puzzles and Lego. If she were in the area (at the park), she'd always offer to drop off at our house. A really nice touch is that she celebrates popular holidays and occasions with the kids, making decorations and giving them presents.

Outstanding Childminder

Sarita cared for our son for about 6 months after his nursery days, including nursery pickups. Her impact was incredible in such a short time. Our son quickly grew attached to her kind and caring personality, making the transition smooth.
Sarita's dedication went beyond basic childcare. She regularly took the kids to local parks, creating enriching outdoor experiences. Special occasions like birthdays, Christmas, and Easter were celebrated with enthusiasm, and she even gave thoughtful presents.
It's evident Sarita genuinely cares about the kids. As our son started P1, saying goodbye was tough. Her ability to form such strong bonds is truly remarkable. Sarita is an excellent choice if you're seeking a nurturing, attentive, and fun childminder.
In conclusion, Sarita's brief but impactful role left us grateful for the joy she brought into our son's life. Highly recommended!

Great friendly, reliable childminder

Sarita looked after our 3 daughters before and after school for over 2 years and also for whole days during the holidays. She provides a relaxed homely setting which the girls really enjoyed. They had access to her garden and regularly visited local play parks as well as playing games and undertaking arts and craft activities in her home.

Sarita is friendly, caring and reliable and provides a very personnel service. She is very communicative and it was great to receive regular photos of the girls undertaking various activities. We would definately recommend her child minding service to others.

Highly recommended

Sarita is a real gem of a find – we can’t recommend her highly enough. Our daughter was 3 when she started with Sarita; for 12 months Sarita provided pick-up from pre-school and after school care, which was always excellent. She provides a relaxed and homely environment for the kids, is extremely caring, reliable, and trustworthy. Our daughter loved her time with Sarita and the other children she looks after; they often went on trips to local playgrounds, did all sorts of crafts and fun activities, and generally had a great time. Highly recommended!

Sarita was excellent

Sarita looked after our wee one for about a month and a half while nursery was closed. She was fantastic. My little one felt at ease immediately after entering her home and absolutely loved it there throughout the whole period. She cried on her last day as she didn’t want to leave which shows how fantastic she felt at Sarita’s house.

A warm, caring childminder

Sarita provided part-time care for my 3 year old son this summer. She was absolutely wonderful, very warm, caring, and great at providing activities, both in the setting and through trips to local playparks and walks outdoors. My son seemed to connect with Sarita and her family immediately, and always enjoyed his days there with the other children. She was very patient when he experienced a potty training regression. The setting is impeccably clean, and feels very comfortable, with a variety of toys and things to do. Sarita provided snacks and varied meals, which my son thoroughly enjoyed. Communication was excellent, and we enjoyed the photo updates on activities, and she was lovely to have a wee chat with at drop-off and pick-up.

All in all, we heartedly recommend her services. She provided care at a time when we were struggling to balance work and childcare, and we are very grateful for her help.

Great experience

Sarita provides excellent care for our 3.5 year old daughter. She showed great flexibility to accommodate our needs. Our little girl enjoyed her time with Sarita, her son and the other children. We received many pictures showing us what she was up to during the day. It was great to see her so happy and engaged with a wide variety of activities.
