My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Sam, and I am a registered childminder in Seafar, Cumbernauld. I reside with my husband, who is a retired Police Officer but returned to work in a civilian role with the police as he missed the activity.
While under my care, your children will enjoy a variety of activities, including arts and crafts, outdoor play in our garden, storytime, and educational games to stimulate their development and imagination.
Our home is a welcoming and friendly environment where all children will be embraced as part of our family. I am registered with Care Inspectorate and bring ten years of experience as an Early Learning Practitioner, with six of those years dedicated to working with children with additional needs.
For the convenience of parents, I offer drop-off and pick-up services for Ravenswood Primary School and St. Mary's Primary and Nursery School in North Lanarkshire. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further information or inquiries.
