My Summary
About Me
My name is Sarah, I live with my husband, Gavin and our 3 children, Micah, Lydia and Taylor.
I was an an Ofsted Registered Childminder between from October 2010 and now own my Preschool with my husband in West Sussex. I was manager of the preschool from April 2015 until June 2022 and have received an Outstanding Ofsted report. I am now also an OCN certified Infant Sleep Consultant.
We moved to Lincolnshire in 2022 and although I thought I’d like a quiet life in the country, I am missing working with children so much and would love to start doing some babysitting again. I am free daytime and evening.
My Experience
As well as being a childminder and Preschool manager, I also have experience with children from other areas in my life. I have worked with children in a school based (4-11 year olds) and nursery based (3 months - 4 years) setting and I am a mum to 3 gorgeous children. I have been a Brownie and Guide guider since 2002, so have a lot of experience with older children too.
In February 2025 I qualified as an OCN registered Infant Sleep Consultant.

Sarah looked after our daughter from 9 months until she was 18 months. Sarah ensured that there was an excellent settling in period before our daughter went to her full time, allowing them both to get to know each other. We were really pleased with the care our daughter received and she enjoyed going every day. Sarah created a warm, safe and inviting setting for the children and our daughter enjoyed the various activities through the week. Sarah kept us well informed of what our daughter was doing each day. In addition, Sarah was flexible with cover and was able to take our daughter earlier, keep her later if we were delayed at work. We would not hesitate to recommend Sarah for a childminder.

Sarah looked after my little boy from he was 7 months old until just over 2 years old. I do shift work and sarah was very accommodating and flexible and worked around my crazy shifts.
My son loved going to see her and he fitted in well within her setting. My husband and I were both able to go to work feeling confident that our son was in safe and very capable hands.
I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone searching for a friendly and reliable childminder

She has made me feel so comfortable trusting her with him and my other children as she has time to give to all on an individual basis. Full curriculum of learning, play and relaxing.
