My Summary
Ofsted Registered Independent Childminder
About Me
My name is Sarah Gough and I live with my husband and our four sons.
We have an array of pets who are all very child friendly!
I offer a welcoming and secure home for children to play, learn and develop at their own pace. The children also have access to our garden where they can play games and explore.
All children in my care are treated with equal concern and I provide stimulating activities for all ages and stages of development.
We love to go for walks, take trips to the park, local woods and the beach. On other days we enjoy baking, creative activities and playing games that encourage turn taking and improve socialising.
I adhere to Ofsted standards and work in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage guidelines - ensuring that children's learning and development is constantly supported and extended.
I can currently drop off and collect from:
Grove Bluebell Nursery
Grove Primary School

My little girl started with Sarah at Bumblebeez after her other childcare provider closed, and she settled instantly. We have been so impressed with the care Sarah provides. Fantastic activities are planned every day for the children; outings, crafts and a huge range of toys both inside and out (as well as a large selection of pets!). We receive photo updates and videos of everything they get up to, which is so reassuring as a parent. The Babysdays app is used for communication/invoicing which makes everything easy. You can really tell how much Sarah cares about providing top quality childcare and the children all adore her because of the enthusiasm and care she shows. We are so pleased we found Bumblebeez ❤️🐝

when our kids started being looked after by Sarah they were 3 and 5. My son struggled with his speech and Sarah used to help him read his school books after school. As parents you worry so much about your children Sarah reassured me as l found my son improving with his speech. He also started exploring new words and was always excited to be going to Sarah. My little girl enjoyed going to Sarah's as they would go exploring out with other children groups doing different things. I have never felt any safer as my children were well looked after and did loads of learning . I would recommend anyone to Sarah she is really lovely and has the knowledge and skills to look after children of all ages.
