About Me

Hi I am Sam!, I'm a mature and experienced Childminder with a real Home from Home atmosphere to make your little ones feel at ease and eager to learn!

I’m married and have raised 5 children of my own and I have 2 grandchildren. Still have teens living at home and are sometimes around and are positive role models for younger children and always popular! We also have cats and tropical fish as pets.

My setting is called Hippo Hollow Childcare Corner, it’s conveniently located on Monks Road, near Lincoln Hospital, Lincoln Prison and not far from Anglian Water and Lincoln College. I'm right near the bus stops on a main bus route ( 3 and 17 buses ) and only a 15 minute walk into the town centre.


I have built up an established reputation based on trust and relationships with the families I have helped. I provide a support for families who may not have extended family to help them and I go above and beyond for my customers.

I offer a warm and welcoming home from home atmosphere, making parents feel instantly calmed when they may have been previously anxious in finding a suitable fit and the right person to look after their precious bundle.

I have dedicated playroom for under 4s and lots of space in the rest of the house for children to explore and play with traditional toys as well as their favourite characters. I follow the EYFS curriculum as well as making sure the children learn by lots of play.
Because I am home based, children are not tied to a timetable and can take things at their own pace and follow their own interests and rest when they want to.



I accept funding for children from 9 months up to 3 years then support transfer to nursery school for older children. I also accept tax free childcare and workplace childcare vouchers.
