About Me
*Funded/private spaces available | School holiday cover available
Hi! Welcome to my home-from-home setting :)
This is a trilingual setting - We speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish!
My name is Sara and I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I am 31 years old and have a 3 year old son. I also have a very friendly 4 year old cat, her name is Lola.
With over 4 years of hands-on experience caring for babies, I understand how important those early months and years are. From feeding and changing to helping with naps and early development milestones, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each baby’s unique rhythm and needs.
I create a nurturing environment where babies feel safe, soothed, and engaged. Whether it’s tummy time, sensory play, or quiet cuddles with a story, I ensure your little one is not only cared for, but also gently stimulated in age-appropriate ways. I have a 4 seat wagon, which is amazing for our outings and the little ones love it! We often go out on picnics to the local parks, we also visit the library, etc.
I know how precious your baby is to you. That’s why I keep you in the loop with regular updates, photos, and open communication. Families often tell me they feel a huge sense of relief knowing their child is with someone dependable and genuinely caring.
I’m based in Epsom, right by the town centre, making drop-offs and pick-ups easy. I’m available Monday to Friday, from 8am to 6pm, and I’m happy to discuss your family’s routine and preferences to make sure we’re the right fit.
My Experience
I have over 4 years experience. I started as an assistant with a 20+ years experienced childminder and friend.
I love studying, so I often look for new books and courses to make sure I can provide the best care possible! For instance, the Children's Psychology course is something that I'd love to study in the near future.

Sara looked after our 3 year old pre-schooler during the summer holidays. She was warm and friendly from the start and our little boy was very happy in her care. Sara is communicative and flexible, adapting activities to suit the child and sending updates. She also supported him with his speech & language development. Definitely recommend!
