My Summary
Growing Happy Minds: Nurturing Care In A Playful Home - Now Accept Funding For 2+
About Me
OFSTED RATING: GOOD
FOOD HYGIENE RATING: 4/5
FUNDING - I accept the standard 15 hours and extended 30 hours funding (from 2 years +) as well as Tax-Free Childcare
I HAVE SPACES AVAILABLE including school pick up from Downsview School.
I follow the Early Years Foundation program to keep on track with the children's development.
I focus on each child's likes and interests and encourage them if needed.
I am a very creative and energized person who enjoys spending time with little people.
I believe the more time and energy you invest in their development the more you will see them grow.
I keep a daily diary for each child to mark their growth and development, this allows me to focus on each child's needs.
All MEALS ARE FRESHLY PREPARED daily and I ensure the children get all the required nutrients and vitamins. I also provide them with yummy healthy snacks to keep them going.
I have a lovely sunny house with lots of space for children and with a great GARDEN for them to play in with lots of age-appropriate toys and games.
I like to keep the children interested in learning, so I make it fun with lots of colour, painting, baking and treasure hunts and lots of messy play.
We have a lovely big PARK close to us where we go on lots of FUN WALKS and PLAY GAMES in the park and sometimes take our lunch to have a PICNIC.
I also accept childcare vouchers.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sally.
Sally has cared for my 4 year old daughter since she was 9 months old. My daughter loves her time at Sally’s and has made lots of little friends including Sally’s son who is the same age. She often asks “Is it a Sally day today?” and is excited to go. Sally provides a welcoming, warm and loving home from home, with lots of enriching activities and a good range of toys. She makes a variety of home cooked meals for the children and I am confident that my daughter will have an enjoyable day when she attends.
The children all clearly love her and Sally communicates regularly with us via a book and often sends photographs; she answers any queries promptly. I really appreciate the little personal touches such as cards and small handmade gifts and baking for occasions such as birthdays and Mother’s Day etc. The children have enjoyed parties together when one of their birthdays come round.
Sally has been very flexible and stepped in when we have needed extra days at short notice; my daughter is always happy to attend which enables me to leave for work stress and hassle free.

Sally has had our son since he was 9 months old and has a lovely welcoming family home. Over our time with Sally she has supported us and our son to reach his key milestones (from walking to potty training) and incorporates EYFS into the daily activities. Sally knows what our son is interested in and how to keep him engaged, her food is always freshly homemade and healthy and we have been really happy with how she supports our son’s development
All these years on, our son still gets excited to go to Sally’s each week and communication is always great with updates through the day as to what he is getting up to, as well as notice around holidays etc. we cannot recommend Sally highly enough

My daughter has been looked after by Sally since she was 10 months old (now 3.5) and we have loved it. Her home is clean, comfortable and has a lovely playroom full of toys. The children spend lots of time outside when the weather's nice and Sally makes the effort with early years education. She does lots of arts and crafts and cooking with them as well. Meals are healthy and home cooked and she shares activities, photos and menus on a special app which is a really nice touch. Highly recommended!
