My Summary
About Me
OFFERING KEY WORKERS TEMPORARY CONTRACTS TO COVER NEEDS OF FAMILIES. PLEASE TEXT FOR DETAILS
At Strawberry Violet Daycare we offer a different and unique, child led setting which is constantly evolving to take into account every child we care for. The needs of each individual family are met to the best of our abilities and will always be paramount to our care giving. We pride ourselves on using teaching techniques favoured by education theorists such as Reggio, Steiner and Montessori. We value empowerment and strong relationships which we believe develop free but morally responsible individuals with a high degree of social competence and creative ability. We love each child and nurture and encourage each personality to be the very best that they can be. Childminding in our setting is much more than a job, it’s a vocation, its something we love. We understand that you are trusting us with your most valuable thing in the world, and we not only respect and appreciate that fact, but we value each family who places their trust in our setting.
Please send me a text to get in touch as I dislike answering unknown numbers.
My Experience
Having spent my entire life in a Kirklees approved and Ofsted registered child care setting I have many years of experience. I worked with my mum from being a teenager and have followed in her footsteps. I can offer a rounded view of many aspects of the vocation. I work with my team to provide a individual and flexible service, suitable for a wide variety of families. We pride our setting on using our knowledge and experience to produce the very best outcomes for all members of your family.
My Qualifications
Details available on request. I have spent my entire adult life in childcare and completed many training courses along the way.

I have had my daughter at Strawberry Violet Daycare since I first went back to work after maternity in 2021. I have since then enrolled my son there after returning from maternity from having him in 2023. Sally never fails to ensure my childrens needs are met, both emotionally, mentally and physically. My daughter has started a nursery placement but sally still ensures safe drop offs and picks ups for her when I am not available. My children are thriving and the support from all the staff has contributed to that massively. I will always recommend and be thankful for Sally and the team xx

Thank you xx
I can't fault Sally! My eldest went to a bigger setting and was struggling got suggested going to Sally as it's a smaller setting and might help and you have no idea how much Sally helped my son! Within a week all the behaviour I was seeing from Mason at pre school the harming banging his head and frustration was gone.... she worked with Mason and he came on brilliant started talking in full sentences and just being a totally different little boy. She helped me get started on the route I needed to take for his SEN and got the ball rolling for me because I was lost on where to start. I started my Younger son there and again brilliant helped out so much with both my boys and still now even though my boys are older and at school she will happily help out and my boys always loved going to childcare and still ask to go see Sally. She doesn't just look after children she invests in them cares for them and the parents wouldn't send my children anywhere else.

Thank you so much! 🥹
I have two children that Sally has looked after for many years now, since they both started junior school. I have nothing but praise for her. She is kind and generous and loves the children that she cares for, making her home their home too. Both my children love Sally to pieces and have never had a day when they havent wanted to attend, both happily running in on a morning. My son goes to high school in September and I know he is really going to miss her. I could not reccomend enough. X
