My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m an Ofsted registered Childminder, based in Wallington. I have 2 grown up daughters and became a Childminder as I wanted to provide the same loving, nurturing care to other little ones that I gave to my own children. I have been Childminding for over 18 years and have achieved two Outstandings and three Goods at my Ofsted Inspections.
I constantly aim to provide the best possible care for the children in my setting, their safety and wellbeing always being my upmost priority. I strive to create a warm welcoming environment so children feel secure, safe and cared for, always ensuring consistently high levels of clean and hygienic practice. I have a good range of equipment and high quality toys to meet the children's needs. I have a good relationship with the parents ensuring they are fully informed of their child's achievements and daily activities, as well as keeping in line with parents' wishes and feelings. All regulatory documentation is well recorded. I attend various toddler groups, library story times, soft play centres, singing groups as well as going to the park and farm trips. I have a fully enclosed garden available for outside play which has slide, trampoline, sand pit and various other toys.
My Experience
I have cared for children from 5 months to 11 years old.
I worked part time as a community Childminder for the Children’s Daycare Team of Sutton Social Services caring for a 15month old boy with delayed development.

My daughter has been going to Sarah’s for just over a year now and she loves it! We just moved to the area so she didn’t have a proper settling in period but she settled in very very quickly and on her first day came out so happy! It’s so reassuring to us as parents and Sarah is super lovely and nurturing I know my daughter is being well looked after. Sarah also gives us daily updates and sends pictures.
My little girl has become very close to Sarah and the other little ones so will be very sad when it’s time to leave.
I would recommend Sarah to anyone she is providing a clean, safe home away from home environment and really cares about the children.
Thank you so much Sarah! Xx

My daughter has been with Sarah for almost two years now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she receives.
Sarah provides such a nurturing, friendly and welcoming home environment where my daughter is always happy, settled and loved.
As a parent, knowing that your child is safe, happy and genuinely cared for is everything, and Sarah gives us that peace of mind every single day. I drop my daughter off each morning knowing she is going to be well looked after, surrounded by warmth, kindness and love.
We are so grateful to have found Sarah and feel incredibly lucky that my little girl has had such a wonderful person to care for her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy and loving childminder.
