Welcome, my name is Sam, I am a recently registered childminder with NHSCT and fully insured with NICMA - the childminding association.

I grew up in a family home were my mum was a childminder and also both parents were foster carers so the house was always filled with children and I believe this played a big part in my carer with children.
