My Summary

My Experience

The team

Samantha Steedman:
My name is Samantha and I am married to Paul. We have raised five children. I have over 15 years’ experience in the Childcare Sector. I started out running a mums and tots group, before working within a busy baby room at a Nursery, following this I worked as an Ofsted registered Nanny; all prior to becoming an Ofsted registered Childminder in 2015. During this time I have worked with children and young people with SEN and trained as a level 3 Senco. Such experiences have not only enhanced my knowledge, understanding and empathy of the individual needs of every child in my care but also allowed me to gain invaluable experience. As part of a small team at Childminding 4 U, I am passionate about working in partnership with parents to provide an environment in which your child’s world is enriched with caring and learning experiences that will foster their all-round well-being and developmental potential.

Paul Steedman:
Following a 22-year career in British Army aviation, I join my wife and daughter providing young people with the opportunities to develop into fully rounded individuals who are interested in the world around them. I’m utilising the skills, knowledge and experience acquired through many years of management and training experience to be part of the children’s explorations as they discover the world around them, as well as discovering and developing their own abilities and interests. I have a genuine passion for motivating and inspiring people with learning that encapsulates them.

Chloe Cox:
Chloe is our eldest daughter she has been working as a childminder assistant since 2016. Chloe has lots of hands on experience including some special needs experience, Chloe has some understanding of Makaton and sign.
