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.
