A great first childminder for our daughter

5 stars

Our daughter started with Sara when she was 10 months old and I was returning to work after my mat leave. This was understandably quite a fraught time for our family so it was great to have Sara as a caring and honest person in our lives. She is clearly very experienced with looking after children. Our daughter has loved the activities Sara provides and playing with the other children. Sara is friends with other childminders which has enabled our daughter to get to know lots of different children. We have also really appreciated Sara's flexibility on the odd occasion when we have needed to extend our daughter's hours due to work commitments. The only reason we are moving on from Sara as our childminder is because we are moving to Southampton. Sara, thank you for looking after Ivy so well!
