About Me

I am a OFSTED registered chidminder who finds working with children a very rewarding career. I have received a GOOD for my Ofsted for my inspection, which was in September 2018.I happily married and have 2 children of my own.

I hold a full clean driving licence.

I have excellent contactable references.

My Experience

I have had 2 children of my own. I am an OFSTED registered childminder, and I have completed my ICP training and I have just finished my NVQ level 3 training in childcare.
On a daily basis we attend local drop in centres which are run by Ofsted registered childminders and also the local children centre. We also go to the local library for story time/ rhyme time,we have picnics in the park and in the summer months we take planned trips to the seaside and museums. Our indoors activies include baking, painting, drawing, playing with playdough. All of which children find extremely enjoyable.
I have quite a large garden which is well equipped with garden toys. These include slide, water and sand table and different ride on toys.
I also have excellent contactable reference. I offer a settling in period to get to know the child and the child can get to know me and my home.

I believe children learn through play, I follow the EYFS framework and and write a daily contact book for you read and see what your little ones has been upto.

I look forward to hear from you.
Please feel free to give me a call.

Kind regards

Sarah

5 stars

Sarah is a lovely person. She has been caring for my two children since my daughter was 6 months old and she is now 4 years old. I would highly recommend Sarah to any parent looking for a childminder as she very reliable, trustworthy and understanding. I am happy to give a reference to any parent. Thank you Sarah and your family for everything, you will be missed. Sarah would still be caring for my children if she had not moved out of the area. From Louise and family x
