Mentoring, Consultancy and Training for the Wraparound Care and Childcare Sector
Backed by experience and delivered with integrity
I help organisations develop and grow whilst staying true to their vision and values. Ensuring they get it right for themselves, their teams, the children, families and other stakeholders. I’ve experience every aspect of the founder’s journey growing to seventeen settings, a staff team of 150+ and working with over 4,500 families. I appreciate the highs and lows of running a childcare business and how at times it can feel you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders and you just need someone to support you!
I love supporting others, sharing insight and strategies, as well as pitfalls to avoid, so they can grow and scale sustainably too. A recent mentee said I’d help ‘ignite a spark in him and his business’.
Mentoring

INSIGHTS from having been there, done that and got the t-shirt and
QUESTIONS to give you the space to reflect on your journey so far and
CLARITY on where you’re heading and most importantly,
HOW to get there!


Consultancy
Backed by experience and delivered with integrity.
Are there tasks you don’t have the skills, the time or the desire for?
Whether completing a funding application for Wraparound Care Funding, need support and help to set up a new club, help creating and developing policies and procedures, staffing, creating and analysing your profit and loss accounts and advising on profitability, support with staffing and practice within the setting plus more.
This year alone I have secured over £150,000 of funding for clubs and one provider said ‘they would not still have a business’ without me advising they applied for funding and completing their application for them.
Training
Backed by experience and delivered with integrity.
I have delivered 1,000’s of hours of training to teams, providers and Local Authorities. Having a Primary School teaching background, a train the trainer qualification and years of practical childcare and play experience I know what is needed to make training engaging, informative and impactful.
One recent course participant said ‘Sam is very professional, but also patient and understanding, giving opportunities to the cohort to network and discuss some of the most challenging topics. Sam’s approach to training is empowering; each member of our diverse group was given the opportunity to express themselves and ask questions, as necessary. Sam made sure everyone was listened to, she brought the group together with her excellent resources and activities.’
