I was very nervous about leaving my son with someone else, as a first time mum I definitely needed someone I could trust to leave my baby with. As soon as I met Federica and Sara in person I saw how caring and lovely they are, and how much they know about the different techniques or approaches to learning. My son just turned one when he started his settling sessions with Sara and Federica, and even though it's meant to be a bit of a process, he was so happy with them that it only took 4 days of settling for him to be able to stay full time. I am Spanish and I asked Sara if it was possible for her to talk to Ivar mainly in Spanish to keep up with his learning, and I am extremely happy and impressed of how much he has learnt! He understands so well what I asked him to do, either in Spanish and English. I love that they use all of their languages knowledge with the kids, Federica native language is Italian, and Sara's Spanish. I've never going to forget one day that I went to pick my son up and one of the other kids (British) told me Ciao! as I was leaving, I think it is fantastic. Ivar is learning and very enthusiastic to eat by himself with cutlery now, which it's also thanks to them, and he shows to know lots of nursery songs dances from their music time.
I could be here all day explaining everything I love from them. I feel extremely lucky that I found them, and I am a 100% sure that I won't be changing him to anywhere else until it's his time to start school.
I can't even explain how happy I have been having Sara as a childminder to my son. It was like finding a neddle in a hay stack. Sara is caring and fun, she always had the interests of my son to heart. My son always loved going to hers.
I am Spanish and I asked Sara to speak Spanish to my son as I was worried because Dad is English and my family is not in UK, it was amazing that my son first words were in Spanish and shortly after he started saying all of them also in English, his speech development has been great in both languages from the get go which sometimes is a challenge with bilingual kids.
It was very upsetting when we moved quite far away from the area, and even though I tried to embrace the driving, it was too much, and eventually I had to change him to a closer setting.
I can highly recommend Sara, and I recommend meeting her in person because as soon as you do you will see what a beautiful person she is.
