My Summary
About Me
I am a registered childminder with four grown up children and six grandchildren, I have many years experience of caring for children and I have been registered since 2020. I care for a range of ages of children in my setting from 0 to 10yr old. I have a very patient character and have a caring approach about me. Our setting is warm, bright, playful and encouraging to all children.
My Experience
I have many years experience with children including my own and grandchildren. In my experience the best part of my day is when the children walk down my path with a beaming smile and are very happy to start their day of play and happiness.
I have the relevant qualifications for childcare, however, I truly feel the experience you share with a child is far more enjoyable than the qualifications achieved.

I have to start my review by thanking you for the most amazing 2 years that my children had under your care.
My kids absolutely loved every single day that you took them out for parks and trips and they always considered you as their closest nanny. :)
Sharon is an amazing childminder and great person. Always flexible and trying to help me, whenever I struggled with my busy schedule as a single carrying mum.
My kids will definitely miss the time spent with you from September.

You are very welcome, caring for your children has been a joy and I will surely miss them too.
My little girl has been going to Sharon for around 5 months now and she loves it, she is constantly asking to go there. The childcare setting is excellent with a play room for the kids and a separate outdoor section making it very safe. You wont regret sending your kids to her, my little one has thrived since being there.

Thank you Michelle,
We love having Ella here she is a happy little girl and loves all the other children. She is a pleasure to care for.
Flo has been with Sharon for two years and absolutely adores her. Flo was always very clingy and it was a large concern of mine when finding a childminder but Sharon was fantastic with dealing with her and now she is a lot more independent. Sharon’s is definitely a second home for Flo who constantly asks me if she can go to Sharon’s which makes me so much more at ease seeing how much she enjoys her time there. You can never ask to much, she is amazing with the kids and Flo has progressed in things such as ABCs and numbers since being with Sharon. If I could keep Flo here forever I would!!

“Sharon was our childminder for both my little girl from the age of 1 and also for my little boy for after school care. We used Sharon for 2 years and in that time her setting has grown brilliantly. She has cared for my children like they are her own and I trusted her implicitly. Leaving your children at such a young age is scary but with Sharon I never had to worry. My daughter in particular has grown hugely in confidence and social skills since she has been with Sharon and she will miss not going there now that she goes to nursery. Would recommend Sharons setting to everyone.”
