Brilliant Childminder
Our little munchkin has been with Sharon for 5 months and we are so happy we made the choice to send him to her. We had a personal recommendation from friends whose child was with Sharon for several years so that made the choice easy for us and we want to pay that forward. Following the recommendation we met with Sharon to find out more about her ethos/approach and so she could get to know us a little as well. Sharon approach aligned with ours however she is willing to adapt or discuss your wants. For example she was keen to engage with us about our sons eating and sleep routines to have continuity of care. As first time parents we were of course apprehensive about leaving our 8 month old son in someone else’s care however Sharon is the best choice we could have made- we have no regrets!
From the get go it’s been very easy to drop our son off in the morning as he has such a good time at Sharon’s- his face lights up when he sees her. From Australia and not having family close by we really appreciate the evening chats we have with Sharon where she fills us in on our son’s day and answers our questions on all things babies/toddlers such as sleeping and dealing with tantrums. This also ensures that our approaches align. Sharon has a great setup and nice homely environment with a yard which is exactly what we were after. In addition she takes him out most days for activities and to the park. She truly cares about each child and fosters their stepwise development with a personalised approach. She is always looking for ways to support our son’s next developmental step including doing EYFS reviews and providing feedback and toys/strategies to foster learning. It’s without reservations that we recommend Sharon!
