My Summary
About Me
Vacancies available from September '25
My name is Sarah. I am an Ofsted Registered childminder with over 20 years of experience in caring for children from birth upwards. My aim is to provide a professional high standard of childcare in a friendly, safe, and secure home setting. I work in partnership with parents and value your input and ideas as you are the primary carer for your child and you know them best. By working together, we can ensure that your child's individual needs are met.
I live with my husband, (who is also my assistant), and 3 children and 3 dogs, in a detached property, which provides children with an environment with plenty of space to have fun and enjoy their time with me. I have a dedicated playroom so the children have the freedom to select and choose their own activities as well as take part in planned activities.
I have a park within walking distance which we visit. I also have my own transport so that I can take children to enjoy soft play areas, toddler groups, other parks, and play areas. I am situated on the outskirts of Hessle, just off Boothferry with excellent links with the A63 and the Humber Bridge. I am 5 minutes from Kirk Ella, Hessle, Swanland, and Willerby.
My Experience
I am an Ofsted Registered childminder and also a member of Pacey. I started childminding over 20 years ago, and I have worked with children from birth to 12 years. I have a grading with Ofsted as Good.
My Qualifications
I have a level 3 qualification in Home-based childcare, Pediatric First Aid Level 3, Safeguarding Children Level 2, Food Hygiene Level 2 and many more, these can be seen during your first visit. I regularly keep up to date with changes to childcare by attending any courses put on by my local authority and other providers.

My son has been going to Sarah’s for just under 2 months, it was a very quick change for my 3 year old son due to his old nursery setting closing quickly and Sarah could not have helped him settle in more, I really feel at ease whilst he is there, and always receive little updates and pictures throughout the day which is lovely, he always comes home happy and looks forward to going again. Sarah’s has gone above and beyond what I would have expected, and the home from home suits our son perfectly and wish we’d found Sarah when we put our son in a Nursery! 100% would recommend to friends.
