 Brilliant

Our daughter has been going to Midget Gems for nearly a year now and is really enjoying it. She has made lots of friends and never wants to leave when we go to pick her up. They have been very flexible and supportive to us recently as we have had some health problems in the family and it has been great to have that support. Our daughter loves the range of activities that they do there and the diary that they keep is brilliant.

Brilliant, Fantastic, Great!

My 3 year old son has been going to Sarah, since Easter 2013. He now attends 3 days a week using the childcare vouchers. He loves going and always comes home with a huge smile and full of the adventures he has been on. Sarah is amazing, she cares about every child. She takes them out and about but also uses the garden and fantastic play rooms at the house. I receive a daily diary telling me what he has been doing and I also write things in to help them talk to my child about what he has been doing at home.

Highest quality child care

Sarah has been providing before and after school pick up for my daughter since February this year. My daughter settled in very easily. I do think this was because of Sarah's fantastic setting for her business and Sarah's very obvious love and enjoyment of the work she does. Sarah is also flexible where possible and very professional. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Wonderful childcare provider

Sarah looks after my 9 month old boy. She is both very personable yet professional. She has a wonderful set up with plenty of play area and areas to learn. The children are also taken out for days out. I am very pleased with the service they provide.

Wonderful family feel

Our son has been attending Midget Gems for after school care, with some additional sessions in the holidays. He is always happy to go and whenever we collect him he is immersed in an activity enjoying himself. Often he wants to stay rather than come home. For those times he's been for a full day he has taken part in many wonderful activities.

It is a real home from home atmosphere and I would recommend Midget Gems to anyone.

'The decision to go back to work and leave my daughter was a very difficult one, but was made so much easier knowing that she would be cared for in a fun and safe environment. The experiences that she has had since joining Midget Gems have been amazing, lots of craft, trips out and developing social skills. It has sometimes not been an easy process leaving my daughter as she has never been left anywhere before, but Sarah wealth of experience has helped both myself and my daughter through what is a fantastic part of her growing journey. ' Felicity Greenwell.

Beatrice (age 4 years 4 months) has been attending Midget Gems since she was 1years old. Beatrice has always been very happy in Sarah's care, enjoying the wide variety of activites Sarah provides. As a parent I have always found Sarah to be highly professional, committed to her professional development, and most importantly of all friendly.  Sarah Anderson (Health visitor 

I think it's really nice at Sarah's and she caters for a wide age range. It's an enjoyable environment and the foods nice too!! (William Neale 12 years)

Lily thoroughly enjoys going to Sarah's after school. There are plenty of activities to entertain her and they always go out and about in the warmer months. She has made many great friends there and never seems to want to leave when I pick her up.
