About this home
About our tiney childminder
I provide high quality care for children to ensure they have the best start in life and to prepare them for starting at school. I will discuss all the children’s needs and requirements with parents/carers. I offer a home from home setting including a playroom full of toys and activities for children of all ages, and have a separate room for sleeping. My home is smoke and pet free. Included in my fee are all meals and snacks. I ensure that all meals are homemade and healthy.

What others are saying about this home...
Ruth
My 2 year old daughter loves her time she spends at Sam’s, she goes off into the playroom with a smile on her face. Sam is very kind and caring, and the environment is fun and stimulating. Sam is great at communicating, I love seeing the photos of what Rose has done throughout the day. I would definitely recommend Sam to friends and family, thank you for taking care of Rose.
Dominic
My daughter has become more confident the more time she has spent with Sam. She loves exploring and learning and gets to do this with lots of care and support. My daughter feels like she is at home with Sam, with the added benefit of socialising and learning new things. Thank you Sam!
Leah
I have known Sam for many years. I find her to be kind friendly and reliable. She has spent lots of time with my 2 children age 7 & 11 since they were both babies. Our eldest child is disabled and this has never phased Sam. She has always been patient with her taking time to understand her including her in what she is doing. Both the children are excited to spend time with Sam and enjoy her company.
