Samantha Potter

Childminder

I started working with children when i lived  abroad as a personal nanny,  After having my own children I became a registered childminder in 2003.  My aim is to provide a relaxed homely environment so parents can go to work knowing that their child is getting the best of care and are being stimulated, having fun and are thriving. I have a wide variety of toys and equipment for all ages. I also have a  enclosed rear garden with a variety of outdoor toys. Children enjoy being creative and imaginative both in their play and through craft activities, which I regularly do. I also attend toddlers groups during my working week. Parents are informed of their child’s day through discussion. I love working with children and find it very rewarding. I have references from both past and present parents.
