My Summary
About Me
Hi My name is Sandra and I am married with a 26yr old daughter. I live in the West Derby area of Liverpool (very close to Alder Hey Children's Hospital).I am NNEB trained with over 30 years experience working with children. I also hold a Certificate of Professional Development in Early Years Education.
The children in my care enjoy a warm loving relationship with myself and my family in a home from home environment.
Through play and fun I will nurture the most precious thing in your life and develop their life skills as well as the language, number and social skills that they need within our world. I have a fully enclosed garden which is well equipped for all ages to access free flow outdoor play. You can rest assured that your son / daughter will have the professional care of a qualified Nursery Nurse as well as the homely care I will provide. We go for daily walks, to play groups, Children's centre, library and lots of trips out (Safari Park, Acorn Farm, Parks etc).
Nutrition is important for a growing child and I provide delicious home cooked meals and snacks every day.
Above all we have lots of FUN !
OFSTED Say

My Experience
I have worked with children for over 30 years. I have been a Nanny, worked for Social Services, worked in a Private Day Nursery and in Education Nurseries where I have just left my last school after 16 years. All of my Ofsted reports as a Childminder were 'GOOD' in all areas. I have childminded children aged between 3 months and 8 years old. I have been child minding since 2009 and can honestly say its the best thing I have ever done.

I am first aid trained and have recently completed a training course in Safeguarding Young Children.

I have an advanced CRB check.

My son has been with San for a year and I can honestly say he has loved it, he would go in happy and would come out smiling, she provides a wonderful safe, secure, place for him to play, grow and learn which was exactly what we wanted, and he has learned so many vital skills. He talks all about Auntie San, Wayne and Katie all the time. He will miss them all massively. We Highly recommend Auntie San.

Thank you for this lovely review. It's been a pleasure having your little one in our home. Things are definitely quieter without him x
My son has been with San for 2 years and has loved every minute. ‘Auntie San’ as she’s known is a kind, caring and nurturing lady who loves and cares for those she looks after like they’re her own. My son has come on leaps and bounds since he has been with her, and always has the best fun at her house. Whether it’s going to playgroup or playing in her lovely garden, he always has the best time and loves going there. San’s house is like a home from home, and from the start I knew she was the best person to leave my son with. I would recommend her 100%.

Thank you so much for this lovely review. Your little one has brought so much fun into our home it has been a pleasure looking after him x
Sandra is a wonderful childminder with a welcoming home. My son thoroughly enjoyed his time at Sandra’s. He loved playing in the well-equipped garden, going to the park and going to several playgroups during the week.
My son was provided with home cooked meals daily in a fun and safe environment.
There were plenty of toys and activities to keep my son engaged and busy.
My son’s development was well documented too so I could track his age appropriate milestones.
He was happy going in and loved his time there. The children have wonderful friendships too due to the loving and caring environment in a family home.
Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for this review. It was so much fun looking after your little man and watching him grow and develop so much xx
My little one has been with Sandra since September 2020 and will sadly be leaving this year. He was with Sandra more or less full time and our experience was second to none! He loves his Aunty San as he calls her. She provides a very comforting setting for the little ones and I was put at ease from Day one. My son has come on in leaps and bounds with Sandra learning songs, numbers, alphabets, trips to play groups and fun days out. We will be so sad to leave but will most definitely be returning to Sandra when the time for baby no.2 comes along. Words can’t describe how amazing she has been for our little boy.
