My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Sabrina, and I run Piccolini Childminding. I am a qualified teacher with full Teacher Status and a wealth of experience in education, social care, and early years. Over the years, I have taught Health & Social Care and Early Years qualifications at both GCSE and A-Level, giving me expert knowledge of the EYFS and the skills children need to thrive as they grow.
I integrate Makaton signing into my practice and will also teach children in my care to use signs to support their communication. This not only encourages inclusivity but also gives children another way to express themselves confidently.
My Approach
My childminding setting is homely, warm, and designed to feel like an extension of the family. I combine professional teaching knowledge with care from the heart, offering a safe, stimulating environment where children are guided, inspired, and encouraged to explore, play, and grow.
My Experience
Before qualifying as a teacher, I worked across a wide range of early years provisions as well as in social care, supporting children and families in different settings. This background has given me a deep understanding of child development, safeguarding, and the importance of providing a safe, nurturing environment for every child.
My Qualifications
I hold a strong academic background in childcare, social care, and teaching, which underpins my practice as a childminder:
Level 3 Diploma in Children and Young People’s Workforce
Level 4 in Child and Family Studies
BA (Hons) Degree in Social Studies
PGCE Teaching Degree with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
This combination of qualifications reflects both my theoretical knowledge and practical expertise in supporting children’s learning, development, and wellbeing across a range of ages and stages.
