Samantha Dove
Hello my name is Samantha and I live in Mansfield. I am an Ofsted registered child minder. I have two children of my own. I have vast child care experiences and have just completed my Certificate in Early Years Practice (level 4 qualifications). I also have gained my paediatric first aid. I have had a lot of experience within nurseries and within a child minders home working as a Childminding assistant. I can provide references from previous parents/carers if required. My setting offers a home away from home and I can currently have availability for children claiming the 2 and 3 year funding.
