About Me

Experienced, fun and caring Childminders in Tadworth.

We’re two Ofsted-registered Childminders who have been working together since 2014. We offer a warm, safe, and stimulating environment for children from newborn to 10 years old.

As mums ourselves, Siobhan and I understand the need for flexible childcare and aim to accommodate different hours and days. I live in Epsom near the hospital, I have a daughter born 2008 and Siobhan has 2 boys born 2011 and 2018. We plan a variety of fun activities indoors and outdoors—cooking, arts and crafts, park trips, and more—to support learning through play following the EYFS.

We have experience with twins, allergies (nut, dairy, asthma), speech and language delays, and regularly use Makaton. We currently offer school drop-offs/pickups at Shawley Way School.
Any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us, we would love to hear from you!

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
3 April 2023
Children thrive in an environment with clear learning goals and strong safeguarding measures. A recent inspection rated all areas as 'Good', highlighting effective education and care. Partnerships with parents are strong, and children benefit from a broad curriculum. The childminder generally models speech and language skills well. However, there is room for improvement in communication techniques, particularly in allowing children more time to respond to questions.

My daughter has been with Cassie and Siobhan since January 2022 and has been very happy ever since then. They offer lots of varied activities messy play, sensory play, crafts and activities. I really appreciate the extra effort that is made with Mothers/Fathers day, christmas etc when we receive hand made cards and gifts that have created wonderful memories over the years. They also go on various outings such as soft plays, toddler groups, library visits, parks and the farm. The communication is very good and we always receive pictures of what she has been upto each day, which gives a lovely snapshot into her day. Both Cassie and Siobhan are very reliable and accommodating which is so important as a working parent.
They have helped my daughter develop in all areas over the years and she is such a happy, sociable confident little girl and i know they have both contributed to this. I am so pleased to have found Cassie and Siobhan they have given my daughter the best start in life and i am forever grateful, i would highly recommend them both to everyone.

Our daughter has been looked after by Cassie and Siobhan for 18 months and we are very happy with the care provided. Our daughter settled in very quickly with them and is obviously very happy in their care. Cassie and Siobhan take the children to a variety of places (playgrounds, soft plays, library, park, playgroups etc) and provide a wide range of activities (outdoor play, sensory play, messy play, role play, art and crafts etc) which our daughter has loved. This has supported her development in all areas. The communication has been excellent and Cassie and Siobhan send us lots of photos so we can see what they have been up to which is really nice. There is also always opportunity to give a handover or discuss anything at drop off or pick up. Cassie and Siobhan have been very reliable and accommodating. I would highly recommend them.

my daughter has been going to Cassie and Siobhan for 2 1/2 years now and loves it. They were amazing when she first started by putting my mind at ease an helping to settle my daughter in her new environment. I Feel that she has really learnt alot from being with them and surrounded by the other children in a smaller setting. I am very happy with the service they provide and can be safe in the knowledge that she is well looked after.

The guys looked after our 12 month old son Oliver while our other son was undergoing rehab at the Children's Trust. This was a very difficult time for us and the girls were absolutely amazing and Oliver enjoyed every day he was there. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone as they looked after Oliver as their own....

I used SS Childminders whilst my childminder was on holiday. My 4 year old twin boys had a great time, lots of fun activities and outings. A fun, happy, caring environment. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for childcare. Thank you.

Cassie has done several ad hoc babysitting sessions for my 14 month toddler son since he was 9 months old. Each time she has arrived on time, and at the end of the session she always gives me feedback about all details of their time together. On times when my son was unhappy to leave me, Cassie would send me a text when he was fine again, to put my mind at ease. I still use her services and I highly recommend her.
