My Summary
About Me
Hello there! I'm Samantha, with 17 years of experience in childminding under my belt, I'm here to offer a warm and nurturing environment for your little ones.
Nestled in the Sundridge Avenue area, my home is conveniently close to Elmstead Woods and Sundridge Park train stations, as well as several bus routes. Whether you're looking for full-time care or part-time flexibility, I've got you covered with options to suit your needs.
As a mum myself, I understand the importance of providing a safe and enjoyable space for children to learn and grow. That's why we make the most of our time outdoors, exploring our large allotment where we plant, play, and even care for our own chickens!
But the fun doesn't stop there – we're always on the lookout for exciting adventures. From visits to local parks and museums to seasonal nature trails and farm outings, there's never a dull moment in our schedule.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the help of my wonderful assistants. And with my own family by my side, including two grown-up children, you can trust that your little ones will be in good hands.
So, if you're searching for a welcoming and enriching environment for your child, look no further. I can't wait to welcome you into our loving community!

I literally cannot thank Samantha and Chloe enough for all that they have done for us. Beau loved his time with them which showed everyday when he'd kiss me, wave goodbye and walk off in the door, not even looking back, when he was the most clingy, mummy's boy there was to begin with!
Beau blossomed so much with Samantha and Chloe, he went to the allotment, playgroups, museums, even to the seaside, never a dull moment and the food Samantha provided was perfect, healthy and nutritious.
The love and care they showed for Beau was just beautiful and made me feel at ease to leave my son, as he had never been left with anyone else before. We are going to miss you guys so much!! xx
I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone.

Samantha is the best childminder in the world! We love her so much! From arts & crafts, fun at the playgrounds, spending time in her amazing allotment, exploring lots of museums, fun at the beach & so much more, Daisy has blossomed in her care!

Samantha was recommended to us by our other childminder when we needed last min extra childcare over the school holidays, it was great to have such a strong recommendation and we couldn’t believe how quickly our daughter settled. She was playing and comfortable within the first day and then didn’t want to leave!! Samantha and her team provided great care, food and outings as well as regular communication, photos and notes and our daughter had so much fun. Highly recommend!

I have been fortunate to have had Samantha and her team care for my daughter for over 3 years. They have provided excellent care and attention to my daughter throughout this . would highly recommend Samantha and her team to anyone seeking care for their child

Our son was not settling in well at a large nursery so we decided to try out a smaller setting at Samantha's house. It has by far been the best decision for our family. He settled in right away, has been so happy going there and made loads of little buddies. Samantha shows such great care to all of the children. The setting is nice and tidy, with a large garden, and the children are always participating in fun activities or going on outings. Our son has really grown in his confidence since starting there. I would thorouhly recommend to everyone, and we will be sending our daughter to Samantha's once she is a bit older.
