About Me

About Me

Hello! I’m a friendly, patient, and experienced childminder dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and feel at home. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and reassured—and I work hard to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and families.

My Childcare Approach

I believe children thrive when they feel valued, supported, and encouraged to explore the world around them. My setting offers a balance of structured activities and free play, helping children develop socially, emotionally, and intellectually. Whether we’re reading stories, doing arts and crafts, exploring outdoors, or learning new skills, I aim to make every day enriching and enjoyable.

My Setting

My home is warm, clean, child-friendly, and fully equipped with toys, learning resources, and creative materials. I provide:
• A safe indoor environment for play and learning• A secure outdoor area for fresh air and exploration
• Healthy meals and snacks
• A calm, caring atmosphere where every child feels included

Activities We Enjoy
• Arts & crafts
• Reading and storytelling
• Music, singing & sensory play
• Outdoor play and nature walks
• Early literacy and numeracy games
• Age-appropriate learning following the EYFS framework

Working With Families

Good communication is central to the way I work. I keep parents updated with daily notes, photos (if permitted), and regular feedback. I believe childcare works best when we’re a team.

Why Choose Me?

I treat every child as an individual with their own strengths, interests, and needs. My goal is to create a home-from-home environment where children feel safe, loved, and excited to learn.

Love her!!!

5 stars

LO has been going to Sarah since January 2014 at 10 months. She loves it there, always happy to go in and always have a fantastic time there. Returning to work full time has only been possible because of how much LO loves it at Sarah.

She learns such a lot from Sarah, counting, singing, colours, social skills... Everything I wanted her to learn! In fact, I think Sarah did a much better job than I would have done myself if I had chosen to be a stay at home mum.

Sarah is also very flexible and easy to work with.
