Sharron Ward

Brilliant Childminder

My son Carter has been with Sharron since August’23. Had we not have moved somewhere further away, Carter would have remained with Sharron. Carter thoroughly enjoys going to Sharron’s and often closes the door in my face when it’s time to come home lol. He often comes home with crafts and baking, trips to the park and loves interacting with her lovely dogs. He’s come on leaps and bounds since being with Sharron. Thank you so much and we will miss you. X

Thank you Leanne. We will miss Carter too. He’s changed so much from when he first came to me and I’m sure he will settle well within his new setting. Keep in touch x

Amazing childminder

Sharron has looked after my daughter for 5 years after school and my son for 1 year after school. She’s extremely accommodating, flexible and always has been supportive of the children’s needs.
My children have been happy in her care and love her dearly. I asked my daughter and in her words she said “she’s really fun and kind”
She’s been there when we needed her and gone above and beyond for us as a family

Sharron the Super Childminder!

Our daughter Rinoa has been with Sharron since June 2022, The progression that we have seen in her skills from 1 1/2 years to 2 1/2 years has been amazing. she has developed so well under her care and Sharron will always be clear and concise about what they have been doing and what they have eaten.and Rinoa always makes little things or pictures to bring home.

We couldn't have asked for better care for our daughter. Rinoa used to not want to leave mommy and daddy and now she will knock the door and walk into Sharrons home and can't wait to get in and play with her friends there. She also loves to see the dogs and really enjoys stroking them. If you need a childminder whos kind, considerate and will cater to your needs for your child then look no further.

We would have preferred to stay with Sharron over the nursery we have had to have for full time care, but unfortunately Sharron does not do Fridays :) but otherwise Sharrons care for the children she looks after is top notch. Our daughter has always had good days with her and has grown and developed so well under Sharrons care.

Thank you so much for your lovely words Kevin. I will be sorry to see Rinoa go. She was here 4 days a week and reduced to 2 days from January and now totally leaving my care. She has developed so well and it’s been a pleasure to see her grow in confidence and social skills. We will miss her and I know Millie our Bichon Frise will miss her cuddles too 😀

Great childminder

My daughter Oria came to Sharron at 10 months old as I was returning to work. I was looking for a home from home and somewhere that would replicate her sleep schedule which I’d worked hard to put in place for her and Sharron was more than accommodating. Sharron understood my anxiety over leaving Oria for the first time but I needn’t have been anxious at all because Oria was absolutely fine once she settled in. Oria has developed so much under Sharron’s care and I can’t thank her enough. Highly recommend!

A wonderful childminder

Our daughter started with Sharron in June 2020 at the age of 4.
She was due to start in the September 2020 when she was starting school and we required before and after school care.
When our daughter's nursery decided not to open in June 2020 and I was due back work, we asked Sharron if she would have our daughter sooner than initially requested. Sharron was more than happy to help us out and care for our daughter for 3 full days a week, until she started school. Sharron made the whole induction process and form filling so easy for us, while also abiding by Covid restrictions at the time.
Since starting in June 2020, our daughter throughly enjoys attending Sharron's and she enjoys all the engaging activities Sharron provides.
Our daughter is a fuzzy eater but this is no problem for Sharron she will provide meals that she know's our daughter will eat, but also encouraging her to try new meals. A lovely, caring and kind childminder who our daughter loves 😊

Thank you Louise! I shall miss having Gracie around and her non stop chat and happy character, but I know I will still see her and you regularly on the school playground. Have a well earned rest in your career break and enjoy it while you can.

Fantastic child minder

Our daughter started going to Sharon’s when she was 7 months old, I was really nervous and Sharron put us at ease straight away. Our daughter takes a while to warm up to people but with Sharron it felt like it happened quickly - now my daughter is 18 months old and welcomes Sharron with open arms and a huge smile every morning which is so lovely to see.
Sharron has a beautiful home which I know for our daughter feels like a ‘home from home’. Not only does Sharron clearly have brilliant relationships with all the children she looks after, her family are also warm and welcoming and have developed amazing relationships with our daughter too. Her son is a natural with the children too, it is really nice to see him speaking and playing with the children when we pick her up! It really feels like a family environment which our daughter has been welcomed in to.
Sharron’s communication is brilliant we always feel well informed about how our daughter’s day has gone and the wide variety of activities she has been doing.
We couldn’t recommend Sharron highly enough - she has given our daughter the best start in life and made going back to work a lot easier than I thought it would be!

Thank you Lily for such a lovely review. Myself, my family and the other children that come to me will miss her so much. X

Great Local Childminder

If you are looking for someone to look after your child and have that 'home from home' environment then Sharron's house is a lovely place for them. Sharron's family are so welcoming and do their very best to make children as comfortable and settled as possible. She is clear on her communication with you and made some fantastic hot dinners for my son, which he fully enjoyed !

Thank you so much for your lovely review Jo. Will miss him a lot xx

Fantastic Childminder

My eldest Son attended Sharron's before and after school and absolutely loved it there.
Sharron is an excellent childcare provider, but what makes her special is that you feel like your child is a part of her family.
A very welcoming home with great activities outdoors and indoors for the children. Also my son was a big fan of Sharron's home cooked meals.

I would highly recommend Sharron for anyone looking for Childcare in the area.

Thank you so much for those lovely kind words Jodi. I have missed him a lot due to Covid circumstances but at least I still see him on the school run. Xx

Treats your child like one of the family..

My daughter Matilda has been with Sharron since she was 8 months old, with my Son I always struggled to find a childcare provider thats made me feel 100% happy and confident that he was getting the support and 1-2-1 development he needed. So when it came to Matilda I wanted to make sure we got it 100% right.

We met with Sharron who made us feel welcome, she talked us through how she worked ect, we felt confident that Matilda would be happy in her childcare setting.
Matilda is now 4 and is starting school in September and its really sad that she will be leaving, Sharron has really developed and supported Matilda which I think you'd loose in a nursery setting as there is no 1-2-1 time or smaller group learning.
She treats Tilly like one of the family and she loves being there.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Sharron, she has been great for Matilda and has been really flexible and adapted hours where needed to support through my transition with setting up a new business.
