My Experience

I enjoy looking after children and working with parents to achieve a reassuring childminding and friendly environment. I feel that childminding is very rewarding, especially when the children show a sense of comfort, security, are happy and enjoy having fun. My childminding experience started in 2007.

I have childminded children of various ages, earliest age being 6 months old. I childmind pre-school, foundation age children and 8 years and over.
During these years i have received positive inspections and adhere to legistlation and minimum standards for wales. I do provide parents with all relevant policies and procedures to ensure the best quality childcare and promoting the safeguarding, child protection, of children and young people.

The Welfare of children is paramount.

I hold an NCMA Quality Assured Certificate and I hold an NVQ level 3 in Childcare, Learning and Development. I have recently completed the PACEY (formally known as NCMA) online training for Speech, Language and Communication and an introduction to autism awareness. A level 3 in child protection/safeguarding awareness of children and young people. A brief online course for Schemas, an online brief course into ‘look, say, sing, play’ for babies.

Sarah is not only a competent, affectionate and caring childminder but a wonderful person too. You can tell that she has a year of experience as during 2 years of service she always stayed professional and dealt with all my crazy worries in a calm and supportive way (probably she saw it all). To have such an amazing person to look after your child takes a lot of stress off the working parents. I will be forever grateful for all her work and professionalism. The settling period went very smoothly, and my child was always pleased to stay, and I used to pick him up calm and joyful. Sahar is very efficient, keeps on top of her paperwork, training and ensures there is a high-quality learning environment as children have a variety of things to play with. I highly recommend using this childminder as she is excellent and your child will be in a safe and fun environment.
