About Bookies Babes
About Us
Bookie’s Babes originally came to be in Stanmore when Sarah first set up as an Ofsted registered childminder. She ran this very successfully from home for 3 years and then in 2015 Sarah moved Bookie’s Babes out of home and into new premises and Bookie’s Babes nursery was founded at Edgware Reform Synagogue.
Things to consider
You will need to attend online training with your Assessor for 10 days out of your 13-month apprenticeship, for your classroom-based learning and you will be working within the nursery for the rest of the time with the support of your dedicated childcare assessor.
