About Me

Hello my name is Sammie and I am an early years educator. I have many years of experience with working with children of all ages.
I was previously a baby room supervisor for a well known nursery chain but as I have children myself I wanted to work from home and still fulfill my career path with children and education.
I live at home with my husband and children including my baby grandson. My home is never empty as I seem to be like the pied piper, all of my friends children enjoy being here. I love family time and my children are my world.
I like to give the children that I care for all the experiences I can, in doing this letting them fullfill their learning and development potential.
I often take them on trips to zoos, farms and other places of interest. I also do music and movement sessions and occasionally attend playgroups at my local sure start centres.

My Experience

I started my career as a nanny with a lovely family they are all grown up now with families of their own. Worked with the EYFS whilst in the nursery setting and now use it at my setting.
I am paediatric first aid trained and have had extensive experience within the child care sector.

I have recently been graded by OFSTED as GOOD.

My Qualifications
