"The childminder and her assistant recognise the uniqueness of each child in their care and provide affection and stability. Children's needs are exceptionally well met and they develop a strong sense of belonging, which helps to support their emotional well-being."

Testimonials from my Facebook page:
"April has been going to Sarah for over a year now and I am delighted that we chose her to care for our daughter. She is warm and caring yet always remains professional. April has a better social life than me, always out and about making new friends and exploring new places. I think it speaks volumes that April races to the door when I announce she is going to play at Sarah's! Not only is April socially improving she is quite clever for her age (if I may say so myself) and I credit this to Sarah and her learning in an environment of children of the same and different ages. I really am so pleased we chose Sarah and I would highly recommend her to friends and family."
Laura Mason
"Our son has been going to Sarah's for about five months and he's loved every minute of it. He gets out and about all over the place, having fun without realising he's probably learning things too.
From our side, getting regular photos and updates throughout the day is great - albeit I get a bit jealous when he's playing in the park and I'm sat behind a desk - and the daily diary updates make you feel like you were there.
Sarah is professional, caring and super-organised and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder."
Mike Nolan
"Sarah has made returning to work a lot easier for me! My little girl has settled in so well there and loves all the days out they go on.
I love receiving all my pictures throughout the day and it's lovely seeing her so happy there.
I would definitely recommend her."
Kerry Hutchison
"Sarah and Gary have been looking after our little girl for almost two years now and we couldn't ask for better. My child is happy and content and everyday is full of fun and learning. She comes home full of stories everyday! I would recommend Sarah Woodward Childminding to anyone needing care for their little one!"
Keri McCourt
"We are so lucky to have found Sarah and her wonderful family! She has been taking such good care of my little boy Oliver since March last year. He is so happy there and is in his element there thanks to the way that she and her famlily have welcomed him into their home.
Sarah puts such a huge amount of effort into providing lovely, fun, creative experiences and especially lots of outdoors time where Oliver is at his happiest! She is always going the extra mile - I don't kno...w where she gets her energy from. It all seems to be based on the interests of her mindees.
Sarah is great at listening to any requests we have (I think I am one of those fussy first time mums so there have been plenty of those!!) and accomodated his dairy and egg allergy fantastically.
The service is also very professional, I have always felt confident Oliver is more than safe in her care. The whats app updates and very personalised diary makes me feel a part of his day and gives us lots to talk about when we all get home.
Overall we couldn't be happier with the care Oliver has had and can happily recommend it to anyone looking for the very best in early years experiences!!"
Laura Bradley
"I can honestly say I would be absolutely lost without Sarah. Not only is she an amazing childminder but she's just an amazing person. Jayden has been with her for about 18 months now and not only is he well looked after but she has truely brought out the best in him. It's brilliant how she can teach them and have fun at the same time.
Top things:
1. I love the daily pictures I get sent of where they've been and what adventures they've done.
2. The daily diary is so detailed....
3. The schedule of what they are doing that week.
4. The themes of the week.
5. I couldn't have imagined a better person looking after him and getting him ready for big school in September. It feels like he's part of the family.
As you can see I have nothing but fabulous things to say. Would highly recommend her and Gary as well."

"Sarah takes my daughter Lucy to pre-school and she absolutely loves her! She skips into the car every day. She somehow manages to do crafts etc with her in the short time she's there before pre-school. I would recommend Sarah's services without hesitation!"
Isabel Morison

Loved by all students, Sarah's fun loving personality and love of children never tires. Wishing you the best of luck in your new venture Sarah xxx"

"We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sarah's childminding. She looked after our two children on a number of occasions during the summer holidays.
