About Me

Hi a little bit about me, i’m a mum to 3 but all are adults now.
I have been an OFSTED registered childminder since early 2007. I have also worked in nurseries and as a nanny, and an au pair overseas. I am able to accept the government funding for 9mth,2, 3 and 4 yr olds. I only care for a small number of children at a time to provide a secure home from home environment, where the children develop close binds with their peer's. We attend lots of different activities library, art galleries and museums but we are at our happiest in the great outdoors. If you have any questions please contact me via the message board, text or email and I will be happy to answer any queries.

Sam has been looking after my 16 month old daughter now for eight months. My little one can't wait to get in the door as soon as we get there and has been very content since day one. This is very reassuring while i'm at work and I am confident Freya is getting all the care and attention she needs. I was very nervous about leaving my little one when returning to work, however I felt very at ease with Sam straight away and never looked for another childminder. Sam provides a wide range of activities/trips out as well as time in doors, providing the right balance of rest and play and we get a diary at the end of each day telling us about everything she's got up to.
Excellent childcare provider, wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
