About Me

ONE SPACE WILL BE AVAILBLE FROM SEPTEMBER 2025 & ONE FROM JANUARY 2026 FOR CHILDREN AGED 15 MONTHS OR OVER

I am an Ofsted registered CM with all the statutory requiremsnts. Prior to becoming a Childminder, I worked as a TA for quite a long time. Above all I am a mother who cares about my children & genuinely cares about other children too. I see the children in my care as my own and I do my best to look after them with excellent care routine & making them feel safe, happy & loved whilst they are with me. I maintain a healthy relationship with parents & support the children in their learning & development, help to improve their vocabulary, listen to them, promote good behaviour, teach them good manners, safeguard them & support their wellbeing & give them lots of attention and most of all, lots of love, what they need the most.

I am married. I have two girls, aged 11 and 14. We live in our own house in a peaceful & safe neighbourhood.

I love travelling and trying new food.

My Experience

In my setting I work in accordance with the EYFS framework and I use the Development matters curriculum, as a guidance, so that your child gets the best start in life.

I carry out activities such as art & craft etc.. to cover the areas of learning so that your child won't miss the skills, knowledge & understanding they must have at each stage of their life. I provide lots of toys to enjoy and learn. Therefore, children learn & develop well in my setting and I teach them good values, behaviour and manners. Most of all they can have lots of fun by being who they are. The children in my care are kept safe and healthy. Every child is unique to me and I respect individual needs. I am very positive and passionate about my job and able to build positive relationships with children.

I have a setting that is a very homely. It is very secured, where your child will instantly feel like at home and feel loved and safe & gets lots of attention. I want the children in my care to feel safe, happy, loved & for them to enjoy their time with me and for parents to have peace of mind whilst they are at work.

She’s the Best!!!

5 stars

Sam is one of the best childminder we know. She had a lot of patience when it comes to the children. My son loves her, every time he went to their house he had a lot of words and song to sing, We’re very satisfied with her service. She’s very friendly, warmth and kind too. We’re lucky to have her as our childminder. She’s a 5 STAR for us!!!

More than a childminder

5 stars

I found Sam when I was going back to work when my youngest was 10 months old. The idea of putting my tiny baby in a nursery was filling me with dread, I wanted her to spend her time away from me in a place where she would be adored the way she is at home. From the moment we met Sam she instantly made us feel like family. She is one of the most warming, kind-hearted and energetic women I have ever met. I couldn’t have asked for more. When we drop her off to Sam’s house it feels like we’re leaving her with family and she clearly loves our daughter very much. Sam’s family are amazing too and our daughter has taken a real shine to them all. Thank you Sam for everything you do and looking after our daughter so amazingly.

Sam is the best!

5 stars

I would never choose another childminder for any children after meeting Sam. She is a very happy person, always with a smile. She is very positive, patient and flexible and always tries to help and support the parents.
Kids have loads of fun with her and her house is impeccable. We all know kids can be very messy, for me is really important to keep hygiene and be as much tidy as you can in a kid's environment.
She is the best person to look after your kids, no doubt it! ❣️

Sam is AMAZING!

5 stars

Sam has been absolutely amazing with my daughter. From day one, she has open my daughter with open arms. My daughter always comes home happy and content after being with Sam, she always talks highly of her time with Sam. I feel Sam’s childminding is home to home, and my daughter felt extremely comfortable in Sam’s care. We always had updates on what they had been up too, and what food/fluid intake my daughter had. My daughter was always busy and was never bored with Sam.
I knew from my initial meeting with Sam, that Sam was the right childcare provider for my daughter.
Sam’s home is a clean, positive environment for children.
Sam has fantastic personal qualities
- Children in her care are important to her
- Friendly
- Fantastic communication
- Always on time.

Sam has been looking after our little boy on and off for a couple of years now. We've always been very happy. She's very good with children and provides a nice environment for them. Would definitely recommend her.

Highly recommend

5 stars

I had my kids with Sam for a year and we have been very happy with her services. Unfortunately, we moved away from Milton Keynes and need to look for another childminder.
My kids were very comfortable with Sam and happy to go to her home.
Sam is a lovely and nice person. She has a good environment and a clean house and this was most of our important thing when choosing her.
Highly recommend Sam!

Brilliant Childminder

5 stars

Sam has been looking after my daughter (aged 3) since January and is great. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds and always asks to go to Sam’s house when she’s at home. My daughter has said she enjoys playing and painting and trips to the park.
My son (aged 6) has also been to Sam’s a few times, he is at school so either before school or in the holidays and has really enjoyed his time there and has asked to go when his sister goes as he likes it so much.
Sam is very welcoming and sends lots of updates and has helped us out so much. I’d 100% recommend Sam to anyone who needs childcare
