About Me

Hi there, my name is Hayley, I am an Ofsted registered Childminder graded Outstanding for the second time. I live in Sawston, South Cambridge with my Husband Neil and our three children aged 13, 8 and 6. We also have a cat called Chester and a dog called Luna.

I work alongside my Assistant Tina, a former primary and preschool teacher. Tina has a huge amount of experience working with babies and young children, which ensures the care and education on offer is of an excellent standard.

We provide a home from home environment that your child will be immediately welcomed into. Your child is unique and our aim is to ensure they thrive, are stimulated, and learning through various types of play. We use an online system called Baby’s Days to track development, and ensure that each child is making progress in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage. We adapt the way we deliver this in accordance with each child’s abilities. We are passionate about ensuring each child is able to access fun and enriching activities and resources, that they are offered age-appropriate challenges and equal learning opportunities.

A typical day will include lots of garden play, cooking, crafts, trips to the park, shopping, painting, reading and many more. I encourage my mindees to express themselves and use their independence to choose the types of activities they wish to pursue. We also encourage deep exploration of personal interests, effective communication with carers and peers, and support with all aspects of social, emotional, personal and physical development. Healthy foods and drinks are also available throughout the day, we promote independence with choice, self care, and expression by supporting the children as they navigate their early years.

Myself and any assistants within the setting have the following:
Full DBS clearance
Full Paediatric first aid qualification
Full, clean driving licence
Fully insured
Non-smoking household


We regularly undertake training in a range of subjects to ensure we can offer the best to your child.

I am happy to discuss training that may benefit your child directly, please just let me know.

***Please note that we service Icknield Primary and Pippins Preschool Sawston only, I cannot drop or collect from any other school at this time***
