About Me

'Sam's Little stars childcare’

*Warmsworth Primary Before & After School places available 2026*

As being a mother myself i understand how precious your children are to you and how you want to feel fully comfortable with the childcare you choose. So come and meet me and my family and have a chat and see how l provide a warm, safe and friendly atmosphere where your children have quality care and will be treated like part of the family.

We are based in balby near the warmsworth roundabout, this is excellent access to all routes around.

We provide stimulating activities and toys for your children and take them out on educational and fun outings in the school holidays.

We have a fab playroom for the children and a very large garden with toys and activities for all.

We encourage healthy eating and lots of fruit and vegetables in breakfast & light tea.

I live with my husband and our two boys, we are a very loving, loud and happy family!

We have had 4 ofsted inspections:
October 2010
June 2015
June 2019
June 2025
All being awarded a 'good' grade, check them out and read the full reports!

A well-planned curriculum and strong focus on independence characterize this childcare setting. Children form strong bonds with caregivers and benefit from a carefully structured learning environment emphasizing mathematics and self-reliance. Parents report good communication and noticeable development in their children's confidence and speech. Areas for improvement include accessing additional non-mandatory training and consistently involving professionals to support children with speech and language delays.

Sam has now looked after my son for almost 3 years and she is truly amazing. She is kind hearted, gentle and caring and knowing that he is well looked after and safe makes being a full time working mum so much easier. I absolutely don't know what I would do without her!
