Hi, I’m Sarah, a friendly and experienced childminder with 27 years in Early Years and a mum to three lovely children of my own.
At Sarah’s Playhouse, I offer a warm, home-from-home setting where little ones can learn, play, and grow with confidence. We love getting creative, exploring outdoors, and having plenty of fun along the way!
If you’re looking for a caring, reliable childminder who treats every child like family, I’d love to hear from you. Come and visit Sarah’s Playhouse — where learning and laughter go hand in hand!
