Welcome to my website - EYFS for childminders
Hello! My name is Sarah Neville.
I have been working as a registered childminder for 30 years and I have been graded outstanding by Ofsted 4 times.
I am committed to supporting all Ofsted registered childminders to make the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) work for them.
I have been writing e-books to support colleagues for many years and I have thousands of satisfied customers.
I also offer support to childminders via my Knutsford Childminding website and Independent Childminders website because I want to help all childminders make the EYFS a success!
My main aim is to help other childminders get to grips with the EYFS and make time for the important things in life ... like building train tracks and taking the teddies for a walk round the garden.
I believe the keys to being a successful childminder are -
- Having a supportive family around you - it really does take a village.
- Putting paperwork systems in place so you are organised.
- Prioritising children's play.
If you are a newly registering or training childminder you will find lots of advice on this page - all available free from Childcare.co.uk and written by me!
