About Me

'Sam's Little stars childcare’

*Full Day Places Available for September 2024*

As being a mother myself i understand how precious your children are to you and how you want to feel fully comfortable with the childcare you choose. So come and meet me and my family and have a chat and see how l provide a warm, safe and friendly atmosphere where your children have quality care and will be treated like part of the family.

We are based in balby near the warmsworth roundabout, this is excellent access to all routes around.

We provide daily communication on the Babysdays App for under 2yr olds where we record what they have eaten, slept, toileting, activities they have done and their general mood which is posted every day on the app. On this app we also post all children’s photos and record stages of their development progress which can see whenever you please.

We provide stimulating activities and toys for your children and take them out on educational and fun outings.

We have a fab playroom for the children and a very large garden with toys and activities for all ages.

When we can we take trips to the woods, park or the duck pond which is our favourite!

We follow the ‘Development Matters’ for our curriculum guidance and work to making each child ready for school by the time they leave.

We make fresh home made nutritious meals every day for dinner or tea. We encourage healthy eating and lots of fruit and vegetables.

My sister is my assistant and together we work together to achieve all this, she also has an nvq qualifications in childcare and has previously worked in a private day nursery. She has done first aid training and is also a driver.

I live with my husband and our two boys, we are a very loving, loud and happy family!

Sam has now looked after my son for almost 3 years and she is truly amazing. She is kind hearted, gentle and caring and knowing that he is well looked after and safe makes being a full time working mum so much easier. I absolutely don't know what I would do without her!
