About Me

Hello, my name is Sally. I am a child minder based in Sutton Coldfield

We currently have spaces available, so please message us with your enquiries.

My Experience

I have always loved working with children, it was my dream from a young age.

For 16 years I worked in a 53 place private day nursery. I was employed as the Officer in Charge for the final six years, I carried out this role with commitment and professionalism, and I was responsible for a team of 12 staff and the day-to-day running of the nursery.

In 2012 I left the nursery, after the birth of my second Daughter and decided to become a childminder.



Sally’s Playhouse was born in June 2012, in Solihull. I moved back to my hometown in Sutton Coldfield in August 2024.

I currently employ 2 members of staff, Chelsie is on Maternity leave until August 2025 and has been working with me for almost 9 years. Chelsie has many years of experience working in childcare. She has experience working in several nurseries. She has also worked as a teaching assistant in a school before working with myself. We have a great working relationship.

Simone has been working with me for 3 months, having previously been a parent of a child we looked after in Solihull. This is her first childcare role and she is proving to be a very amazing and caring staff member. She has settled in very well.



When your child first visits Sally’s Playhouse, we like to find out what their interests are. This is through discussions with the people who know them best – their family. We also use the information on the admission form and our own observation skills, to determine what your child does and doesn’t like, and we strive to make that child as happy and as comfortable as possible.

Sally’s Playhouse provides many learning opportunities and different activities to stimulate your child.

We use planned and unplanned observations to fine tune activities and learning.

Our vast experience in childcare means that we are able to understand that children’s interests can change on a regular basis, or may remain the same for some time, and by continuously observing your child We will know, if and when their interests change.

At Sally’s Playhouse, we learn everything through play. We adapt the activities to meet all of the children’s needs, and this helps to make these activities interesting and exciting – ultimately enhancing the learning according to the stage of development each individual child is at. I have a vast experience in working with children with SEN and have been at the forefront of getting families the support they need.



Activities that the children will have the opportunity to explore are on this Childcare account.

Good
17 August 2023
A recent inspection found that children are happy and settle well in this childcare setting. The curriculum is broad and varied, tailored to children's interests, with a strong focus on outdoor activities including forest school sessions. Children are encouraged to be independent and learn about good health practices. While safeguarding arrangements are effective, improvements could be made in involving parents more in assessments and planning adult-led activities with more precise learning intentions.
