My Summary
About Me
***currently advertising for a Jan 2025 space***
Hi all,
I live in Sandy (Laburnum School catchment) and am a OFSTED registered childminder. I am available for daytime, holiday, weekend and evening care and aim to be as flexible as possible. I accept payments from the tax-free childcare scheme and childcare voucher scheme for all services too. I was last rated 'GOOD' by OFSTED in September 2023. I work Monday-Thursday, 8am-5.30pm, all year round besides personal holidays (taken in school holidays).
My aim is to provide a service in which your children are treated as they are at their own home. My home is very welcoming, has lots of free play resources and is always a hub of fun and play. I can provide breakfast, lunch and dinner if required. I have worked as a childminder for the last 3 years whilst raising 3 children of my own which has given me a wealth of experience. I am educated and qualified in childminding through Central Bedfordshire council. I am also fully DBS checked, safeguarding trained and hold a paediatric first aid qualification. I am also trained in Type 1 Diabetes and administering related medication.
If you think I may be a good fit for you, please pop me a message.
Thank you,
Daisy x

Daisy and her family have been amazing. Her service is high quality, she is friendly, flexible and understanding of different needs / home situations. My 2 have enjoyed being in her home and Daisy has gone out of her way to ensure they comfortable and involved. They also enjoy their sleepovers and always look forward to them. Its a blessing to have Daisy look after my children and the kids Pray for her Every Morning.
Me and My Family highly recommend Daisy to other parents.

My little boy has been going to Daisy for 4 weeks now and he settled in so quickly and so well. He puts his arms out for Daisy at every drop off which just proves how much he loves going to Daisy.
From my first meeting with Daisy, I received such a good feeling from her home and Daisys friendly energy has been unmatched. Her home is so child friendly and lovely. It really is the perfect little setting for children.
My older son Leo also went to daisys for a day, when we had an issue with his childcare arrangement. He settled right in and didn’t want to come home at the end of the day. There were no tears, at all.
Daisy really has made the transition from having my baby at home with me, to being in somebody else’s care three days a week, so relaxing and has put me at ease.
I am so grateful I found Daisy and that my son gets to spend so much time with her.

Daisy has been, and continues to be, a godsend to us with her exceptional care. My husband and I work in sporadic, creative industries so our childcare requests are often quite unusual. Daisy not only rose to them but exceeded all our expectations and our daughter, Izzy, adores her. (In fact she’s always asking when she’ll next see her!) She caters to Izzy’s dietary issues without question and always updates us too.
I cannot rate her highly enough apart from to say please leave some booking time for us because we don’t know what we’d do without her! Genuinely the safest pair of hands to leave your little ones in. Xx
