About Me

I am Stephanie’s Sunflowers Childminder. Face . Book. I have been Ofsted Registered for 18 years.
We are based in the heart of Wednesfield Village. Where the park is right on our doorstep. Which leads onto our local canal. The local library is also within walking distance.
We have a dedicated playroom with a downstairs toilet. Which is right at hand for little ones to learn hand washing. Then progressing into learning to use the toilet.
Our playroom is full of learning opportunities, where toys and activities all follow the children’s internets.
Our playroom leads out into our garden. Where our huge gazebo will be up as long as the wind stays down! We all love being outside. We have a National Trust Membership. Where we enjoy using our local one’s regularly. We are also big fans of Lower Drayton Farm. Where we can explore all the different activities that are available for us.

Steph is amazing. I'd recommend her services to anyone. As a person that does not leave their child with anyone, Steph made the transition smooth and easy. I left my Son with Steph from 6months old, initially for 15hours per week, then increased to 22hours, then 32 hours . A gradual supporting process. My son is now 19months old and he is absolutely thriving, he has always been settled with Steph, she has a natural ability with children. She is definitely like a 2nd mom to him. If I could chose anyone to help your kid grow flourish in an environment of laughter and learning, with bespoke care and implementing care plans and reasonable adjusments that best suit you and your child, THIS IS THE PLACE. Steph always makes sure you are well informed of your child's stay when in her care and sends lovely picture updates so you still feel present. Thank you Steph

Keira is now 6 and still asks and raves about steph which makes me so happy and i no how much she was taken care of by the live keira still holds for steph.

My daughter was with steph from 7months until she started nursery.
Keira learnt so much and stephanie catered for all her needs. I couldnt have asked for a better childminder she knew the best ways to help keira and supported her in everyway she needed and also supported and advised me when i needed.
I really think keira had the best start with stephanie i would have left her longer if she didnt have to go to school.
When looking for afterschool care after we moved areas i saw otherchildminder settings and was not pleased as i was comparing to stepanies settings as its very well pressented and very clean. There are so many good things i can say the list would be endless. The main thing is i would trust steph 100% with my daughter and not have a single worry because i always knew she was safe, Happy and learning.

Thank you steph.

She spends so much time to help develop your children. They always do different activities every single day and visit so many places
The opportunities she has given my little boy are incredible.
She truly is just amazing and i am so grateful for her!

Steph is a fabulous child minder so glad my daughter has a placement with her. She has come on leaps and bounds since being there, she settled in so quickly and loves being there.
Steph sends updates with photos, takes them out to places for trips and keeps with her needs. If you’re looking for a great childminder Steph is the one

Steph is absolutely amazing. Looking for a place for beaux was the most easiest choice when it came to visiting stephs. She is the patient person when it came to Beaux settling in, has she wasn’t the easiest. She is the most hardworking and thoughtful person. She goes on the most adventures every week. Since Beaux has gone to Stephs, she had grown and developed so much! Beaux now loves going to see Steph! I am so thankful for her!!
