About Me

Hi! I’m Samantha a qualified BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies childcare professional based in Portsmouth. I love creating fun, engaging, and meaningful experiences for children, whether it’s a quiet evening at home, a weekend adventure, or a special bank holiday treat!

My approach is inspired by the Curiosity Approach and Reggio Emilia philosophy, which means I see children as capable, curious learners. I love encouraging imagination, creativity, and play — while making sure every child feels safe, happy, and included.

I also have experience supporting children with SEN and physical disabilities, so I can provide calm, confident care for all little ones. Whether it’s arts and crafts, games, outdoor exploration, or just being a friendly companion, I aim to make sure children enjoy themselves as much as the adults!

Flexible, reliable, and enthusiastic, I’m here to give parents peace of mind and children a fun, engaging experience whenever you need it.

My Experience

I have 16 years of nursery experience, working with children from birth to 12 years old. During this time, I have gained extensive knowledge in child development, safeguarding, and behaviour support, ensuring children are safe, happy, and thriving.

I am also a parent to an 11-year-old, so I understand first-hand what it’s like to raise boys — the laughter, the energy, and the challenges! ?

I have specialist training and experience supporting children with SEN and additional needs, including:
• Muscular dystrophy
• Diabetes management
• Global developmental delay
• Autism
• ADHD and neurodiversity

I bring a playful, curiosity-led, and inclusive approach, inspired by the Curiosity Approach and Reggio Emilia philosophy, ensuring every child feels valued, supported, and able to explore their interests.

With outstanding safeguarding knowledge and a calm, warm, and confident approach, I can create enriching, safe, and engaging experiences for children of all abilities — whether it’s a quiet evening, a weekend adventure, or a special day out.

Well Recommended

5 stars

We have only used Samantha once so far and we are going to again this weekend and hopefully many more evenings dependent on finances of course and timings. My immediate reaction was a positive one as my 6 month old boy adapted to her extremely well and our 4 year old.
Upon returning we were very pleased that the children were calm, the house was tidy, everything done correctly and samantha had written a full A4 page description with times and notes.
We already have a big confidence in Samantha due to her calm and confident manner plus her forward thinking without being prompted.
