About Me

School drop off and pick up for Deansfield nursery and Primary school only.

Hi, my name is Sara and I run Sara's Little Sunflowers in South Ruislip. I am a former Primary school teacher with Early years experience. I am a mother of three. I have a 12 year old, 8 year old and a 3 year old. I provide a holistic environment which enables children from a young age to learn independence through play. As a former Primary school teacher I have been very fortunate to have a range of experiences. I have worked within early years, key stage one and key stage two and have also trained newly qualified teachers.

Working with children has always been a passion of mine. I have created a fun and nurturing setting in which children can blossom in my care. I have an indoor open plan space which is welcoming, safe and clean as well as a dedicated outdoor space with designated learning areas. I follow the EYFS framework in which I use my skill set as a teacher to tailor any needs your child may have. I am honest, caring and committed to fulfilling the needs of your child. If you would like to see my setting and have an idea of what I offer please view my website.

My Experience

From babies to children I offer a service on both of the Ofsted child minding registers. I like to gage an understanding of where you as the parents believe your child is at before they start with me. This helps in assessing their development and milestones through learning through play. I use a range of observations, structured and non-structured play to help support the children in my care with their development. Most of all I aim for your child to always have fun. Parents can expect termly updates and are welcome to discuss how they feel their child is progressing in my care.

I provide Maths and English support for those children in Key stage 1 and 2 who would be in the after school session. Mini Maths and English booster sessions will be planned using their school year groups curriculum map for the term. My aim here will be to boost the individual child’s confidence and to go over their previous learning so that when they are at school they feel more independent with their learning.

The best way to know if I am the right person to care for your child is to arrange a visit with your child. For more information about me and my setting please feel free to view my website.

My daughter has been with Sara since she was 10 months old for over 2 years and she recently took on my baby boy. My daughter has come on and developed well under Sara's care. She plans the weeks well with themes around books, seasons and special dates. Sara is flexible and made my return to work easy. She gives regular updates throughout the day which is nice when at work.
