About Me

I have 1 space available on a Wednesday from September ’25. Potential to increase days in the future.

Welcome to Nightingale Childminding. I’m Sarah and I have been working within the Early Years sector since I was 18. I qualified as a teacher in 2012, mostly working with Reception and Nursery aged children. My passions with the early years include providing rich learning experiences using natural resources and using the outdoors to explore, play and learn.

Since having two children of my own I have chosen to become a childminder which has been a hugely exciting transition for me and my family. I live with my husband, daughter, son, and our tortoise shelled cat, Jessie. During the day it will only be me home with your child and we will walk daily to Hayesdown School to drop off and pick up my children too. We are a friendly household with lots of love and friendship to give. Our family is very much looking forward to welcoming you to our home.

Please do get in touch if you’d like to know more.

My Experience

My philosophy as a childminder is to create a safe, stimulating, and fun setting where young children can experience a ‘home from home’ environment whilst learning and building bonds with new friends. As a family we very much enjoy the outdoors and build this into our care each day with daily outings, exploring our local area. The children will be able to visit a local toddler group each week and meet up with other childminders and small groups of children at times. We will also have opportunities to visit local parks, woodland, libraries, soft plays, Longleat and other places within a 15mile radius.

Warm, happy, nurturing childcare

5 stars

We are so thrilled to have found Sarah. She is a warm, friendly, fun and nurturing childminder. Our little boy is developing so many new skills, words and experiences through spending time with her. She is amazing at communicating everything we need to know, keeping in touch with regular updates and photos and end of term reports, all which are very grateful for. She has a lovely home with spaces for the kids inside and out. Our little one is very found of Sarah, her family and the other children she looks after - as are we! Thank you so much Sarah!

Exceptional Care and a Loving Environment

5 stars

Sarah is an outstanding childminder who provides a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, happy, and valued. Her patience, creativity, and dedication to each child's development truly set her apart. Coordinating pick-ups and drop-offs at Hayesdown First School has been seamless, and seeing my son run to her each morning, excited for the day ahead, speaks volumes. It has been the best experience, and any child in Sarah’s care is incredibly fortunate.

Fun, educational, creative and kind

5 stars

We are so lucky to have found Sarah - I cannot recommend her highly enough. She creates the perfect environment - fun, educational, creative and kind. Her background in teaching means that she is always well-prepared with a wide range of activities - crafts, days out, playtime - everything a little one needs. She can look after toddlers and babies together, ensuring that their different needs are met. And her two lovely kids - both of whom our daughter adored - are very much a part of the gang.

Sarah was our daughter's childminder 3 days a week for around 8 months, it was an absolute joy from start to finish, and we were all teary-eyed when the time came to move on to nursery.

Thank you Andrew. We really did have so much fun! Huge amounts of luck at nursery 🥰

Highly recommended!

5 stars

We were looking for a childminder in Frome and were recommended Sarah by a mutual friend. After visiting her at home we quickly knew our daughter would be happy as she began to explore Sarah’s own children’s toys.

Drop offs and pick ups were always very smooth and communication clear. We really appreciated the wide range of activities Sarah created for the children and the regular photos she shared with us.

Our daughter is now starting at a Nursery with many more children and we feel her time with Sarah has helped build her confidence and broaden her experiences.
