Exceptional care

5 stars

We are so grateful to have found Shaz and Dream’s childminding. From the very first meeting, we felt comfortable and confident in her ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. Shaz is warm, approachable, and truly passionate about working with children.
She has a wonderful approach to learning and development, always planning activities that are both fun and educational. Both of my boys have flourished in her care.
The setting is exceptionally clean, well-organized, and filled with toys and resources that encourage creativity and learning. Shaz communicates with us regularly, keeping us updated on our child’s progress and events that happen throughout the day.
Above all, we feel completely at ease knowing that our son is in such capable, caring hands. We highly recommend Shaz and Dreams childminding to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and genuinely kind childminder.

AMAZING CHILDMINDERS

5 stars

Shaz and Becky have exceeded my expectations as childminders, they really do treat the dreamers as their own children and go above and beyond to meet their needs!

Sending your children to someone else’s care is the most terrifying thing to do as a parent and they really do make me feel 100% comfortable in doing so, I know my son is in the best hands!

Couldn’t ask for more - thank you for being the best!!!

Wonderful Childminders

5 stars

Sharon has been absolutely wonderful with our daughter. From the moment she started with them, they made her feel right at home. Sharon’s warm and friendly approach has not only made my daughter excited to go each day but has also given us complete peace of mind.
The setting offers a variety of engaging activities that my daughter thoroughly enjoys, from arts and crafts to outdoor adventures. It's evident that Sharon tailors her care to each child's interests and developmental needs, ensuring a fun and educational experience.
Communication with Sharon has been fantastic. Regular progress updates are shared through an online app and is always open to discussing any concerns. Her professionalism, combined with her genuine love for what she does, makes her stand out.
We are incredibly grateful to have found such dedicated childminders through the childcare app. Sharon has become an integral part of my daughter’s life, and we couldn't be happier with the care they've provided.

Goes above and beyond for children every day!

5 stars

My son has attended Dreams Childminding with Sharon ( and Becky) since being 12 months old. Sharon is the kindest sole, with the biggest heart and goes above and beyond for the children (and their families) every single day. Communication is clear, and regular , activities and EYFS curriculum is structured, tailored and fun. My son's development academically and personally, has been incredible. Sharon, as his key worker, has helped him gown in confidence, with the perfect combination of a welcoming & warm, loving & fun environment, whilst maintaining professionalism and high expections. He absolutely loves going to Dreams each day.

We would wholeheartedly recommend sharon and Dreams Childminding to anyone. They are truly the most wonderful people we have and have the pleasure to work with.

Couldn’t ask for a better childminder

5 stars

Sharon (Shaz), alongside her co-childminder Becky, looked after our two girls at Dreams from before they were 1 right through to 4, when they started school. Our girls had a wonderful time at Dreams and the start that Sharon has given them positioned them perfectly throughout their early years and for starting school. She played a huge part in their development, from fine motor skills when they were little to interpersonal skills and making friends as they grew older. She fosters a kind and caring environment that meant our girls absolutely loved going to Dreams each day. Sharon goes beyond what many other childcare settings provide and we feel lucky to have so many keepsakes that were sent home so that we can remember what our girls were like at this age - priceless as they grow up!

Above all we’re proud of how kind, confident, curious and fun (with a healthy dose of cheekiness) our girls have become as they’ve grown, and much of this is down to the girls’ time with Sharon and Becky. We would wholeheartedly recommend Sharon and Dreams to anyone looking for a warm, professional and caring environment for their child.

Could not ask for better minders

5 stars

Becky & Sharon go above and beyond for their dreamers making sure each day is fun but educational. They have little visits and fun walks, baking and so much more I couldn’t list. The little trinkets and thoughtful gifts are something else, you can tell they adore each and everyone of the little dreamers. The updates throughout the days & pictures make me smile while I’m working!
I remember the day I dropped off my daughter for her first day at 10 months old, walking to the door with tears in my eyes and being unable to speak, the little poem I was given and told to read at home with a box of tissues cemented my decision that I had chosen wisely with Becky & Sharon.

Fantastic

5 stars

Sharon is simply wonderful and she brought my daughter on brilliantly. Sharon would often give me helpful pointers which would help and assist me with things like getting her talking, doing things independently and down to complex things such as potty training! Sharon is very approachable & her ability to “pretend play” is phenomenal. My daughter loved playing with her, wether it be cafes, or babies, sharon was brilliant at communicating and helping and egging my daughter to do things independently. I love how passionate sharon is, others will know how at christmas, halloween, easter and everything in between the children used to come home with little keepsakes and beautifully personalised art work, the effort sharon puts in is outstanding!! I loved reading about all her developments and I was always kept upto date with milestones reached ect. The playroom is always wonderfully set out and toys are frequently rotated to support the children’s learning! Very good, Would defo recommend!!

Amazing Childminders!!!

5 stars

My daughter has been at Dreams Childminding since 2019 and will be leaving them to start school this September. The care and love Shaz & Becky show our little ones is wonderful. They nurture the children to enable them to meet their milestones and include the families in their learning, regularly changing topics and keeping the children engaged with learning.

Having personally gone through some extra difficult times recently, Shaz & Becky have gone above and beyond with my daughter and I can honestly say she absolutely loves them and looks forward to seeing each day.

We will miss them terribly when she starts school in September, we have loved our time with Shaz & Becky but we will always be apart of the Dreams family and come back to see everyone as much as we can.
