About Me

Hi, I'm Sam!
I'm 35 years old and live in Blaina with my partner, our daughter and our much loved dog. I'm a Qualified Teacher and CIW Registered Childminder with over 14 years' experience working with children.
I created Sky Meadow Childcare to provide a warm, home from home environment where children can learn, play and thrive through meaningful experiences, outdoor adventures and child led play.

Based close to Ystruth Primary School, I offer 30 Hours Funded Childcare, Flying Start places and school collections.

I'd love to welcome your family to Sky Meadow Childcare and show you everything we have to offer.

My Experience

I have over 14 years' experience working with children and families. As a Qualified Primary School Teacher, I have taught children aged 4–11 years, as well as running after-school clubs and holiday/summer clubs. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about creating safe, nurturing environments where children can grow in confidence, develop independence and enjoy learning through play. I bring this experience into Sky Meadow Childcare, providing a warm, home from home setting where every child feels happy, valued and supported.

My Qualifications

I am a Qualified Teacher (QTS) with a BA (Hons) in Childhood Studies and a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Children's Care, Learning and Development (Advanced Practice). I am also CIW Registered, Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding and Food Hygiene trained.
With over 14 years' experience working with children, I have extensive knowledge of supporting children with a wide range of individual needs, including Additional Learning Needs (ALN), speech, language and communication needs, social and emotional development, and promoting inclusive learning. I am passionate about creating a nurturing environment where every child feels valued, supported and encouraged to reach their full potential.
