Our Summary
About Us
Hi, I'm Sarah, I'm 39 years old and I live in Tunbridge wells- with my partner and 2 son's who are 20 years old and a 8 years old.
I currently run a large childminder setting with assistance but in August of this year (2022) we will be opening up a home from home day care setting inside a local school.
I have 20 years+ in childcare and all my staff have between 1-12 years experience behind us.
we are now accredited in the curiosity approach and soon to be Hygge in the early years.
we provide a curious but calm environment for the children to explore.
we love exploring nature, baking, going on walks, inviting special guest into the setting, large and small loose parts play and attending our own forest school.
we play with beautiful wooden or authentic items from around the world.
we follow the children's interests and all provocations are set up around this.

Sarah is a fantastic Childminder, who is extremely dedicated to her job.
Sarah plans every day, ensuring the activities are educational - and they certainly always look lots of fun too! We get pictures and updates during the day which are great.
Most importantly of all, Sarah is a very caring, happy natured person and our son loves being with her.
We're particularly impressed by the mix of activities - lots of baking, messy play and arty crafty fun, outdoor/garden play, and a chance to play with toys of course... We feel extremely fortunate to have found her!

A very friendly and sociable childminder. My daughter loves going to play with her. She is great with my special needs daughter. Provides lots of stimulation for the children and she is very kind and caring.

Thank you for your very kind words Chloe, xx
I went to Sarah at short notice so we couldn't do the usual settling period but quite frankly I didn't need to. From the moment my little girl walked in she was playing happily. Sarah makes the effort to really help my daughters' development through activities, play and days out - she also gives me a run down on her day on collection which is also covered in her day book. She keeps me updated throughout the day as to my LO's welfare which is great as working mum I get to still feel connected. Sarah is thoughtful in her approach to child development, kind but will guide the child in the right direction and I have no hesitation in recommending her!
