My Summary
About Me
HI I am Sarah; I have been an Ofsted registered childminder since December 2008.
I live with my husband Matthew and our daughters Evelyn and Roslyn and not forgetting our pet dog Wilbury. We moved to our current house in July 2019 and have slowly being making it our family home.
I was born in Barnsley, South Yorkshire but moved to Full Sutton north Yorkshire due to my Father’s career at the age of 6 months. When I was 7yrs old my family moved to Wakefield, and this is where I spent the rest of my childhood and I completed my education, I gain 11 G.C.S.E at Kettlethorpe High School.
Whilst at school I went on to do my Duke of Edinburgh award where I completed my bronze and silver, this is where I began to think about my job prospects, I helped out at the local Rainbows group where I later became one of the leaders. My other passion was horses and I was torn between these two areas for my career.
I decided to take up my love for horses started working in the racing industry around the Malton and Norton area. I achieved an NVQ level 3 in Horse Care and Horse Management. But after a riding accident I decide the racing industry was not for me and this is then I began to look at going in to childminding. I did not go in to this lightly as I have been brought up in a childminding environment, as my mum is an Ofsted registered minder in Barnsley and she has done this for the past 29 years, so I know the commitment that is required and what dedication that is needed to run a successful business. On occasions I have worked for my mum as an assistant and covered in the holiday period.
I have attended a pre- registration meeting where I registered with Ofsted. I have attended quiet a lot of day courses these include: Introduction to Childcare Practice, A Pediatric First Aid in Early Years, Early Years Foundation Stage part 1 & 2 and the reviewed EYFS, Food hygiene and Safeguarding children. I have Completed NVQ level 3 in Childcare, Learning and Development.
I aim to provide a warm welcoming, friendly, playful and safe environment for children of all ages.
I hope this will help you to understand a little more about me
