SarahDee's Reviews

Below are the reviews that SarahDee has written.
Kim was the most highly rated childminder on the childcare app in our local area so we felt very lucky when she had availability for our then 9 month old. Very quickly we learnt why she's an incredible childminder - our son adores her, every day she takes him on adventures at local centres and the outdoors, she was great managing his routine, flexible when his needs changed and she offered us some great advice along the way. Kim brings so much laughter and positivity every day and I was very impressed with how organsed and clean her home environment is. Our son always came home really happy and he couldn't wait to jump back in her arms again! We are so sad to have to leave, if it wasn't for the fact we moved home further away from her I would certainly have kept my boy with her until he reached school age. Kim, we cannot thank you enough for building Noah's confidence and helping him to really enjoy his first experience socialising with the other older children in your care.

Kelly is an incredibly warm, calm and kind childminder and our son adores her. She looked after him from 9 to 12 months old and in that short time he cannot wait to jump into her arms in the morning! Every day is an adventure, lots of fun stimulation everyday at playgroups and at home and she's been brilliant managing his routine whilst also being flexible when things changed for him. She communicated with us really well and I could not have asked for a better childminder for my son - sadly we moved further away and I know our son will miss her! Thank you so so much!

Bowie and I often say how lucky we are to have found you. Since Noah has been with you from 11 months old you have consistently been nothing short of an incredibly caring, attentive childminder, and I would go as far to say a great role model for him.
Every day is filled with adventure whether it's outdoors exploring woods, parks and other green spaces, or in the cosy comfort of your home where he has developed a love for reading books, singing, dancing and most recently playing football! It's clear you manage the dynamics between the children in your care so well and Noah has grown really fond of the others.
You have really nurtured his explorative, sociable character whilst also teaching him to be polite and kind to others, we cannot thank you enough for the positive values you've instilled in him from such a young age. You have a routine each day that I know brings him great comfort, but you're also flexible and adaptable to change when needed. He loves your healthy lunches and dinners and I'm so impressed that he naps every day with you during the same nap window.
We really appreciate the daily updates you send to us on WhatsApp detailing what he's done, eaten and the daily pictures you share with us are lovingly shared with our families. We have always felt your communication has been excellent, letting us know when other children are unwell with potentially contagious bugs, when Noah has not felt himself, etc. Our Noah adores you and we are forever grateful for all you do for him.
