About Me

Sairs Caring Bears

I’m a mum of three children. I’m a OFSTED registered childminder, living in Balby. Doncaster. My name is Sarah. My children are 20 17 and 15. My eldest Daughter is taking a gap year from University and is currently working with me in an Assistant capacity and is fully trained in all aspects required.

I also work along side a Co-Childminder at the setting, also OFSTED registered. We work together to ensure we can help all our children and families throughout the year

We have recently taken on two part time staff so we have more flexibility for our parents. So we can stay open 7am to 6pm

PLEASE NOTE from September 2025 we will be doing Pick up and Drop offs to Schools but will NOT be doing lunch time Nursery runs at all

We have two dogs, very loving and friendly. We also have a rabbit. All can be handled and looked after by the children (fully supervised)

Our setting is a home from home environment. Closed in safe and secure garden with many outdoor activities. The whole downstairs is set up for the children with an outdoor playroom for free flow play indoors and outdoors). We are out all weathers. Even have puddle suits to hand. We all love it

Inside I have all forms of learning for all ages. We love messy play. Play doh. Arts and crafts and baking. Older children I have many board games and ICT

We do wrap around care for the older children and cover Mallard and Warmsworth Primary school

Meals can be provided and children can also help with this if they wish as we love them being involved (contribution to costs is appreciated)

We attend groups and love going out Astrobound, Clumber Park, Cusworth Hall and much more

We visit parks and play areas and feel that children should have fun in many environments encouraging social skills. I have a seven seater car so trips out are not a problem, my staff also drive too. We have had trips to Magna in Rotherham, The Butterfly world, seaside and Conisbrough Castle

We love working with children and seeing them grow and develop and feel its essential to have open communication with the children and the parents. I use the Baby Days App for logging the children's daily activities and photos, plus this also records your child's learning framework all linking to the EYFS

I have my childcare qualifications and currently studying my degree in child development and doing an Autism course. So do my staff

We originally started our journey with Rutland now we have moved over to OFSTED

Any question. Please ask
