My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Sarah. I’m an Ofsted registered childminder.
I live in Watford with my partner Oliver and our 2 children Ruby(14yrs) and Flynn(6yrs) we also have a dog called Pugwall.
I offer a happy, loving and nurturing home from home setting with lots of activities to help promote all areas of learning for all ages. I have a great selection of resources so there is plenty to do with lots of variety to keep the children entertained throughout the day.
I do regular observations and next steps so I can plan our days to suit where the children are at with their development.
We spend lots of time out in the garden, at local playgrounds and out on walks exploring.
I provide healthy home cooked meals and snacks throughout the day.
Daily pictures and messages are sent to parents during the day to show what they have been up to via WhatsApp and Tapestry.
Please contact me if you would like to know more or have any questions about availability.

My 2 year old son has been going to sarah for just over 1 year now, I visited 9 other childminders before thankfully finding sarah.
Sarah provides a home from home environment, there was only one day my son cried when we left which was the most reassuring sign we needed, our son loves going to Sarah’s, whenever we drive pass her road he shouts out Sarah’s ( and another little girl that goes there’s name)
Sarah provides healthy balanced meals and has really helped with our sons eating (he eats better for her than us)
She has a calm older dog pugwell, which is a bonus with teaching our son “gental hands” as we don’t have any animals.
Sarah listens to everything I say/ask as mum, she also gives me advice but mainly follows the routine I have in place for our son (which I found hard to find in a childminder)
Sarah sends daily photos of the day, she always has fun educational activities, which is handy for us to follow at home .
Our son’s speech has come on massively since starting with sarah, which has really been a big thing for us!
Overall an absolutely amazing childminder we are so grateful and lucky to have found her xx

Sarah has been caring for our son for a year now and we wouldn't change things for the world!!
Sarah is caring, thoughtful, creative and fun. Our son is always so excited to go to her home and runs through her door to get the day started.
Sarah offers a fun learning environment - with lots of counting, colours and shapes exercises. Bug hunts. Supported with potty training. Wide range of toys, costumes and books. Also, lots of outdoor fun and trips to the park to keep our 3yo occupied.
Sarah really offers a home away from home for our son - clean, comfortable, fun, nurtures development and hands on.
Sarah also keeps us updated with WhatsApp messages throughout the day so we can see how he is getting on.
We have been very lucky to find such a wonderful carer close to home. Would highly recommend her to all other parents!!
