My Summary
About Me
I have been a registered Childminder for 28 years. I ensure the children are happy and plan their day around topics/themes and their current interests
Parents are sent a report each day so
they can see what their child/ren having been doing during the day, eaten, nappy changes etc., plus photos. Working in partnership is a priority to ensure children get the best start in life.
I have four children of my own ranging from 35 to 21 years old. I live in a detached house in Upper Newbold with a dedicated playroom for the children and a safe and enclosed garden. The children have a playhouse, outside toys and have fun in the sand and water trays.
I like to take the children out so in term time we attend a number of different groups and have visits to the farm and museums. In school holidays we visit different parks, have days out and have as much fun as we can!
We have a 6 year old cockapoo called Mabel.
My Experience
I have been registered for 28 years and have cared for over 100 children. Age range from 3 months up to 13 years. I have kept in contact with nearly all the children I have cared for and have watched them grow into lovely young adults (a few have their own children now) it has been a privilege to have been part of their lives.
My Qualifications
NVQ in Early years and Childhood
First Aid, Health and safety, Food Hygiene and Safeguarding
A number of other short courses on all aspects of Child care.

Sally looks after our 18 month old boy and has done since he was around 8 months. I cannot say enough about how absolutely amazing Sally is. I’d never really considered a childminder before (with nursery being the obvious option) but as soon as we met Sally, we absolutely knew that she was the one we wanted to take care of our little boy.
Sally is the most wonderful human and like a second mum to our boy. He shouts ‘Sally!’ everywhere we go, or ‘Mabel’ the beautiful dog! We get a fantastic update and pictures every single day, I look forward to hearing about his day!
Knowing that our son is with Sally makes leaving him every day so much easier. It’s a home from home for him and I trust Sally more than any other adult in his life (myself and my partner aside!) He loves going to her house each morning and walks in confidently to Sally and his friends.
Each day Sally will fill his day with fun. From play groups, to days in the woods and days in the park, I know that each day will be wholesome for him. At 18 months old, our son is progressing so well and I know that is down to Sally.
Sally gives an honest account of what his day has been like, including the tantrums and will always endeavour to teach him right from wrong. I could go on forever here, but I appreciate everything Sally does including keeping him a little later where she can when we need to be at work.
I would recommend that all parents check out a range of childminders as we did, but I’m sure Sally will be the one you come back to.
We couldn’t love you more Sally, thank you!
