My Summary
About Me
I am a fully qualified Ofsted registered Childminder based in Bradshaw, Bolton.
The children have a home-from-home environment where they feel safe, secure, relaxed and able to enjoy their time whilst learning through play. Throughout the week, the children and I visit childminder groups as well as other community groups, where the little ones can mix with children of different ages and stages as well as local toddler groups, children's play centres and libraries.
The children that attend my setting love to be outdoors - we spend as much time as possible outside, exploring local parks and woodlands where the children can learn from an outdoor environment. Inside we mainly work from the playroom whilst taking part in our daily activities.
The playroom has access to the garden where the children enjoy playing with a range of resources, including mud kitchen, wooden easel for mark making as well as lots of other outdoor resources. We like to grow our own flowers and vegetables too.
I follow the EYFS and offer the new 15 hours, 2, 3 and 4 year funding whilst providing parents with high quality childcare which is convenient, flexible and affordable.

Our little boy went to Sara's for around 3 years. He was born with a physical disability and we had previously taken him out of a nursery due to him not being looked after properly. Sara bent over backwards to help our little boy and did everything she could to provide him not only with the support he needed but also extensive stimulation. Our child thrived in Sara's care and we saw him making massive progress as a result. He started school in September and we were worried as to how he would adapt. We didn't need to as the care he had received at Sara's fully prepared him. He is thriving in all areas and comes home with daily star of phonics! We would highly recommend Sara to anyone and love that we still get to see her out and about.

Our son has been in Sara's care for over a year and in that time he has grown into a confident and adventurous child. From the other children he engages with whilst in Sara's care, and the activities he takes part in on a daily basis he has learnt so much.
Sara provides us with daily updates of the indoor and outdoor activities she provides, and the trips to the local parks which our son loves.
He's always very excited when we arrive to drop him off and he's equally excited to see us after enjoying fun-filled days with his friends.
I'd absolutely recommend Sara to anyone looking for a kind and caring childminder who will look after your child as if they were part of the family.

My little boy has been in Sara's care for over a year and during this time has grown into a happy and confident little boy. Sara provides a home from home from home environment and my son has always been happy to attend.
I get daily updates of all their fun learning and outdoor activities and Sara always informs me of any concerns or worries.
My son has learnt so much since being in Sara's care, from his manners to being able to count to 10+.
Knowing your child is in a safe, fun and loving environment is so important and I would 100% recommend Sara for your childcare.

Sara has provided amazing care for my little boy for the last 2 years. Everyday they are engaged in a huge range of activities in the house and outdoors. My son adores her and has learnt so much in her care.
I get photos and updates from their adventures every day.
I do not hesitate in recommending her.
