Pinky Dinky Childcare ✨Spaces Available From September✨
About Me
Hi, I’m Sara, an Ofsted-registered childminder, mum, and experienced childcare professional.
I created Pinky Dinky, a home-based childcare setting, to offer the kind of individualised care I would want for my own children.
With experience working with children as a nursery teacher, nanny and as a parent, I support each child’s learning and development through play, creativity, and everyday experiences.
We are a Spanish–English bilingual setting, where children are naturally introduced to both languages through songs, stories, games, and daily routines.
Children will enjoy regular visits to libraries, playgroups, playgrounds, and local outings to encourage learning, social development, and exploration.

She has looked after my two children, aged seven and three, and we have always had such a lovely experience with her. She is warm, caring, patient, and very attentive to both of their needs.
My children always felt happy, safe, and comfortable with her, which gave me great peace of mind. I could leave them in her care feeling relaxed and confident, knowing they were being well looked after.
She is kind, trustworthy, and wonderful with children of different ages. I would happily recommend her to any family looking for a caring and reliable childcare provider.

Sara looked after my two daughters with so much care, kindness and patience. They loved spending time with her and always felt happy and safe. My children absolutely adore her and I always had trusted her.
We have now moved out from London, otherwise my youngest daughter would definitely be going to Sara's childminding setting.
I would highly recommend Sara to any family looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy childminder. Your little one will be in great hands. 😊
