Outstanding Childminder
Our little girl has been with Sarah almost 2 years now and she absolutely loves going there. First of all, the communication is outstanding. All parents are given ‘home link books’ where you will find an overview of your child’s day, so you never get to worry that you won’t know if your child had a nap or ate lunch. All health concerns are flagged immediately via a phone. Sarah also prepares very detailed developmental reports for children. For example, we found it useful when our little girl had a review with a health visitor as we were given Sarah’s notes along with pictures. The health visitor was very impressed and it was reassuring to know that our observations as parents match Sarah’s. Secondly, you will find evidence of continuous development as Sarah does a lot of online trainings and that proves that she really wants to be the best at her job. Third, every day is different for the kids as they do so much there – arts & crafts, baking, fancy dress, water painting etc. Every activity teaches the kids something. For example, the kids would build towers out of Lego Duplo blocks but at the same time they would also recognise the colours and name them. Sarah also provides a lot of healthy snacks for the kids – plenty of fruits and vegetables. There is this lovely family atmosphere in Sarah’s house and you can really feel it. Oh, I almost forgot! Sarah has a dog named Milo and the kids adore him. He is very friendly and loves kids. Finally, Sarah has been granted an ‘outstanding’ rating from Ofsted and I can definitely see where that came from as she very dedicated and hard-working.
