Leaving your precious baby is a scary thing to do and I was so worried about doing it, I dont have family around to help out and had no idea how I was going to cope when I went back to work, until I met Sharon. She was the first childminder I met with and I knew she was 'the one' straight away; she is so warm and friendly and I knew in my gut my little one would be safe and have fun with her. Ollie started with Sharon when he was 11 months old and he has had an amazing time from day one; he loves her to bits and so do I as it is a massive weight off my mind knowing I don't need to worry about him when he's with her. He has come on so much socially and developmentally in the time he has been with her, its a joy to see. They go on lots of adventures, to play groups, sing and dance in the house, have lots of yummy food and generally have a great time. Sharon's husband and boys are so lovely too and really do treat him like part of the family, he is so happy there and runs in without even a backward glance most days. Sharon is not the type of childminder you see sitting around the edges at soft play scrolling through her phone, she is right in there laughing and playing with the kids. She clearly loves her job and for my husband and I that's been the biggest selling point; it helps so much knowing our precious little one is with someone who really cares and has fun with him like we would. Really cannot recommend Sharon highly enough!
