My Summary
About Me
I have two daughters who are both grown up and work full time. I am very family orientated and love spending time with my own family in the evening and at the weekends. I have always worked with young children since leaving school and love to watch children learn and grow and feel honoured to be a part of their lives.
My Experience
I have worked with young children since leaving high school, I specialise in early years and have completed my degree at university. I have worked in private and public nurseries, schools and residential homes in Blackpool. I keep up to date with latest training, legislation and regulations and continue to do so as a childminder.
We go on some fantastic outings such as the zoo, sealife centre, the beach, parks, farms and much more, following your child’s individual interests. I have been inspected by ofsted and I am very proud of the “outstanding” rating I was given!

I would not recommend this childminder due to the fact, that my nephew was visably distressed and upset whenever we picked him up or brought him home.
When walking by the street, he would get upset and say "Not Sarah's" & we would have to reassure him many of times that he would not be going that day.
When he was home, he would comment that Sarah was 'naughty' & shouted 'BED'. This caused my nephew problems for my sister to settle him at night times because of his experience within this childminders setting.
There was constant times where the childminder would send him home, saying he is 'not well' or 'poorly' and referring it to as he got 'man flu' when he is only 2 years old.
Also my sister had a message of Sarah within half an hour of my nephew being dropped off with a threatening message saying 'You need to pick you're son up or I'm ringing social services'.
My sister how now had to pull my nephew away from this situation with immediate effect because of the consequences around her son.
