My Experience
I have been a childminder for 8 years and I care for all children as if they were my own. My home is well adapted to suit children of all ages. I have a large variety of indoor and outdoor toys and learning activities.
I like to make sure I have an activity for the children to do everyday, be it a trip to the park (usually Danson Park, Russell Park or Swanley Park), Hall Place, library or various playgroups. We do cooking, cake decorating and arts and crafts together. I also have activities for the children in the garden to use, water/sand table, play house, tunnels etc.
I do drop offs/pick ups from PELHAM PRIMARY SCHOOL

We chose Sam over a number of care providers simply as she was so open, honest and caring from our very first encounter. Sam took care of our daughter and her needs in a very professional, friendly way, creating an excellent environment for all her children. Giving our daughter at 9 months old was a difficult experience, yet Sam made the decision very smooth and our daughter blossomed under her care. Sam is structured, very clear, yet flexible and engages parents really well to understand children's requirements. We would highly recommend Sam as one excellent , trustworthy childminder.

Sam has been my child minder for over 4 years and cannot recommend her enough. She has been so accommodating and my children love spending time her. They always have a packed day full of activities planned. My eldest got on so well with her that I continued to use her with my youngest even after we had moved away from the area. Cannot recommend her enough!
