My Summary
About Me
I provide year-round early years education and care to babies, toddlers and preschoolers including funded sessions for 3 and 4 year olds, and wrap around and holiday care for preschool and school aged children. Currently children in my setting range from 1 year to 13 years. I have 17 children on my books, with varied patterns of attendance to meet their familys needs. I may care for only 1 under 1 year old at any one time. In addition to this I have my own maximum of 3 minded children at any one time, regardless of upper age, meaning ratios are low and I have more time for each child.
My Experience
I am an experienced OFSTED Registered childminder of 9 years and early years professional (Level 5 qualified) with four children of my own, three of whom are at secondary school. My setting was awarded an Outstanding Grade in both 2008 and 2014.
My Qualifications
In 2013 I successfully completed my Foundation Degree in Early Years with the Open University. My own professional development is very important to me and is reflected in the service and care which I provide to children and their families.
My Availability
Availability is limited to 1 space until 3.00pm on a Thursday and 1 all day space on a Friday. However please contact me to check whether additional spaces may become available.

Sarah has been looking after my 2 year old son for around a year now and I only can say positive things about her. She has gone above and beyond for my son who has recently been diagnosed with Autism. Sarah has done everything she possibly can to support and help my son and also me through his diagnosis! My son doesn’t usually like to socialise with anyone else apart from myself but his face lights up as soon as he sees Sarah on the days she has him which shows what calm, caring, loving and understanding nature Sarah has. He has made amazing progress throughout this year with learning new things, trying new foods and building confidence to try new sounds. Highly recommend ☺️❤️
