Sharon is an outstanding childcare provider

5 stars

My daughter clearly loves being with Sharon and the other children. I feel very lucky to have
found Sharon and that my daughter is able to spend time in that environment.

Her service is high quality, friendly, flexible and understanding of different needs.

I would highly recommend Sharon to other parents.

Absolutely Incredible

5 stars

Sharon is amazing! She took my son on at 6 months old and he settled in no problem, his face lights up when he sees her and it feels like I'm leaving him with a family member. She's kind, caring and considerate and when we first went round for an initial meeting she showed us everything we needed to see and had everything ready and was super organised. We just had a gut feeling when we went round and I'm so glad we went with it.
I get sent pictures most days so I can see what he's up to which is an absolute bonus and she's just so lovely to talk to. I genuinely can't recommend Sharon enough!

Amazing childminder

5 stars

My little boy started with Sharon around 3 months ago. I was very nervous to try a childminder as I had a not so great experience with a nursery but I needed someone to help look after my son whilst going to work. I'm so glad I came across Sharon.
From the first time I met her I immediately felt at ease and so did my little boy, everything was discussed and we had a few settling in periods which didn't take us long at all for him to feel at home with Sharon ( to the point where only on the second day he didn't want to come home).
It's now only been 3 months but it feels like we have been doing this for years he's a much happier settled little boy and learns so much each day he is there. I feel he has come on leaps and bounds in such a short space of time and is so happy and content. Truly all a mother really wants.
I'm just so happy I found a excellent childminder so local and don't know what I would do without her.

A true friend to my son

5 stars

My little son aged 26 months now, started going to Sharon when he was only 1yo. It was the first time ever when I used childminding services. Was absolutely scared and nervous but Sharon explained everything to me and made my sons' days so entertaining and full of laughter, that he soon started calling her 'mine'- what he does with relatives only. It's over a year now and had been through bad and amazing times and Sharon have always been very professional and what is most important understanding and open to talk.

She surpises me every day with all the stuff they does. From parks to play groups, teaching songs and discovering new food, trips to cafes, cinemas and other childminders where David makes new friends. I really don't think there is any time they're bored!
I honestly didn't expect so much effort and self motivation from any childminder. When David is covered in paint or mud ( what happens quite often fortunately as I love when my baby is having fun) then I know something is happening, few days later we receive beautiful cards, paintings, photos of David playing and laughing.
When he's not well, she's changing plans so they can stay home cuddling and watching he's favourite programs.
In touch with me at any time about anything and always ready to help. I never felt that there is something she's not able or doesn't want to do or discuss.
If you are unsure about childminders, you have to meet Sharon and you will soon realise how fantastic she is. She has changed our lives for a better and my little boy' experiences for amazing.
