We’ve been sending our daughter, Sienna, to Sharon since she was 6 months old. At first I was very apprehensive of leaving Sienna however I have never felt the need to worry whilst she is in Sharon’s care! Her beaming smile when Sharon opens the door really shows how much Sienna loves being there.
Sharon has been extremely patient with our little girl and we couldn’t be happier with the progress she’s made since going!
There’s lots we absolutely love about Sharon:
She is incredibly helpful, thoughtful, professional and friendly - everything you’d want in a childminder!
Her home is always a safe place and is totally immaculate!!
Sharon has a whole room full of educational toys and Sienna absolutely loves song time etc.
The keepsake crafts Sienna brings home for occasions such as Fathers Day and Halloween are so thoughtful and beautifully done.
We would honestly be lost without Sharon’s help. She’s an absolute gem and we really are lucky to have found her - we couldn’t recommend her enough!

After visiting many settings when we needed to return back to work , we visited Sharon’s home for childcare for our 9 month old daughter, we knew straight away it was the best setting for our little one .
We were able to relate to Sharon , talk things through with her , and she made us feel at ease straight away . She was happy to follow our daughter routine schedule from home , to make the transition over to her care as easy as it could be .
Her home is so well equipped with gorgeous natural learning resources , in a designated playroom , her home is beautiful clean and spacious , with a fully enclosed garden for outdoor play . I got photos and updates regular , the range of activities and art work , special keepsakes , that our daughter brought home I will treasure forever.
Our daughter has now moved onto reception , and we have been told from
Her new teacher how advanced she is and a happy confident little girl . We are so proud . We will all miss Sharon so much , and I just wanted to say our total appreciation that our little one had the best start in her early years .
Can’t thank you enough !

Our son has been with Sharon since he was 7 months old. She made sure to continue his routine and kept me updated on his milk feeds and naps etc.
He’s now 11 months and thriving in her care! She gives home cooked meals now that he’s on solids and he absolutely loves going to her! Her home from home means our son settled so quickly and she has been so flexible with our work hours.
We get picture updates that show us what he’s been up to and she’s always just a message away if we need anything.
We cannot thank Sharon enough for everything she does for our son. Thank you!:)

I always felt our child was safe, well fed and well entertained when at Sharons. she took the time to plan plenty of fun activities and supported all the family at tricky times such as potty training. she ensured she made occasions such as Xmas and birthdays special. she treated each child as an individual, caring for their specific needs and giving lots of care and attention to all that attended. sharon offered to help us when our previous childminder stopped providing care at short notice. thanks for being such a great childminder Sharon 😃

Our little boy has been with Sharon since he was 9 months old and has now left her care due to starting Reception. We have been so blessed to have met her during covid and how quickly she helped settle our boy into her setting. Sharon has always gone above and beyond with crafts and special occasions. She takes time to get to know families and has a great sense of humour. We will surely miss her and the caring, loving and happy environment she has given to our son. We are so proud of how far he has come and the engaging day to day activities Sharon has provided him with have helped him to excel in all areas.
Thank you Sharon, you have been a second mother for our son and we will miss you so much!

Sharon is absolutely amazing, I couldn’t ask for anyone better to take care of my little boy when I’m at work. My little boy comes home everyday in the best mood because he’s had such an amazing day. Sharon has a lovely home with a great set up for the kids inside and out and her house looks immaculate.

We’ve been lucky enough to have Sharon mind our youngest daughter Emilia for almost 2 years. Sharon has been absolutely amazing to my daughter, we are regularly updated with pictures and texts. Emilia makes fantastic pictures & Sharon goes above and beyond with all these types of things. A prime example, my other daughter is 4 (she’s at school) and whenever Emilia makes things - Sharon will pop extra bits in a bag for my other daughter so doesn’t feel left out!
Sharon has been incredibly flexible with hours as we both work and nothing is ever too much trouble. I’ve had to change hours a few times and Sharon is more than happy to accommodate. Emilia is so happy here that we’ve decided to keep her at this setting for as long as possible. The first time I met Sharon ahead of Emilia starting, I will always remember how Sharon immediately put me at ease. Sharon explained everything so well and gave me a very thorougher and detailed welcome pack.
My daughter enjoys her time so much at Sharon’s and loves to tell me what she’s been up to. Her vocabulary, play skills and social skills are brilliant and Sharon plays a huge part in this.
The setting itself is great, immaculate and so equipped. My daughter loves crafts and there’s every type of craft available. When weather permits there’s a great choice of outdoor play as well.
Sharon is a true professional, knowledgeable & caring. Sharon always knows the answer to any question I have. I could not recommend Sharon enough, she is one of a kind!

Words cannot describe how amazing Sharon has been for both my children, I first took my son 8 years old now when he was around 6 months old and it was the smoothest process and Sharon made it easy with him being my first child! I since then had a second child who has been there a year now and it’s been the best decision I ever made taking him to the same place as my first.
Sharon has always been flexible with hours and is able to have him different days when needed.
The setting is incredibly clean with a huge variety of toys to play with as well as Sharon doing so many activities with them.
I love always getting art he has created with Sharon for all occasions. Also love when he comes home with new words and numbers he has learnt
I feel my child is very safe and I can go to work worry free.
Would 100% recommend Sharon to everyone

Sharon came as a recommendation from a neighbour, after using a nursery with my other daughter I was unsure what to expect but it turned out to be the best decision!
Sharon is amazing and like a second Mum to my daughter Sophia who has been with here since 5 months old.
She constantly keeps you updated with your child's progress with photo's and text messages and always on hand if you have any concerns.
Her setting is immaculate (I don't know how she does it) and there is a large selection of toys and educational equipment.
Sharon is always very flexible if we need to add extra days or have Sophia stay a little later which is great as we both work full time.
I can't recommend Sharon enough to everyone

If you are lucky enough to get a space with Sharon you won’t be disappointed, from the first meeting to date we have been so impressed with her setting , her professionalism and her ongoing commitment to this profession. Sharon is someone you are able to talk to , she keeps you updated with everything , her ongoing training to support parents , and an update of how my little one is getting on during the day . Her setting is immaculate , and well equipped with toys and learning resources for all age groups , Sharon follows routines , and makes the settling in stages as easy as can be for a returning to work parent . We were so lucky to find Sharon on the recommendation from a friend , and we are so happy we did . We can’t thank you enough for caring for our little one and we continue to tell everyone about you and your setting. Thank you

Sharon is a fabulous, we have been so happy with the care provided to our son whilst in Sharon’s care.
Our son attended the setting from 9 months though until a couple of weeks before his 4th birthday.
Sharon always went above and beyond, and our son has had a brilliant start to early years education as a result of his time spent with Sharon. The setting is fantastic and well equipped and our son always had a large rage of activities he did every day.
Communication was always excellent and I felt at ease straight away sending our son to Sharon, something I was extremely anxious about.
Even after a house move we chose to keep our son in childcare with Sharon, as we believe it was the best care he can receive.
I cannot recommend Sharon Amos services more! If we are fortunate to have another child we will want our child to go to Sharon!

My daughter has been with Sharon from the age of 8 months old and just recently left as starting school nursery, Sharon is amazing at her job and my daughter has enjoyed every second spent at Sharon’s setting. I was always kept up to date with everything going on while my daughter was at Sharon’s. Thank you for everything. We will miss you.

I sat searching for a childminder as a first time mum returning to work after lockdown and came across Sharon’s incredible list of qualifications and decided to call her. BEST decision I made. She listened to me cry the whole phone call and reassured me that all of my feelings were valid and she would be there to support me, my son and my partner as a family to make this work for us all. She did exactly that. She kept a very anxious mother up to date with photos and activities and meals. In such a short period of time I could see that my son had formed a bond with her which is all i hoped for. He asks her for a cuddle when he leaves and some days I’m sure he prefers her house to ours as it’s so much fun there. I will never be able to thank Sharon for the things she does for our family. We’re over a year in and she’s been consistently amazing. I feel so at ease knowing my newborn daughter will go to Sharon’s when im ready to return to work as she already makes so much effort with her and offers me priceless advice when I need it. I couldn’t recommend Sharon enough.

I was really really apprehensive and a nervous wreck about sending my daughter to childcare, I was recommended Sharon by a good friend and I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! My daughter absolutely loves going to Sharon’s and she has since day one. She’s just everything parents want in someone who they leave their kids with, I can honestly say I go to work and know she’s having the best time with her little group of friends and Sharon herself. I don’t think five star ratings is enough to be fair she absolutely exceeds that. Her times are very adaptable around our working hours and she’ll go out of her way to help us anytime. Thank you for everything you do for us, we’d be lost without the help of Sharon!

We met Sharon in August 2020 and introduced her to our very clingy ‘lockdown’ 9 month old. Sharon was so informative from the start and provided us with all relevant documents to put us at ease with her high standards and professionalism. Before we knew it, our little boy was much happier and quickly settled into his new routine. Since then we haven’t looked back, we can’t believe the progress he has made so quickly in the time he’s spent in Sharon’s care. Our little boy has made outstanding progress in his social skills, his speech and language, his attention and interests. We are so grateful to have met Sharon, she is such a caring and warm person who is always ready to greet us with a smile. She can be flexible with arrangements when needed and makes every effort to get to know families and bond with the children in her care. We don’t know what we would have done without her 🥰

Sharon was everything we wanted for our little girl, she attending Sharon's setting at 1yr old and left at 4yrs for full time school.
We couldn't of asked for a more passionate, caring and friendly childminder for our daughter. Such a bright stimulating, fun and clean atmosphere!
Sharon always always accommodated our childcare needs!!
Our daughter was always happy from day 1 to go into Sharon's setting we never had any settling in issues (always so welcoming and so were the rest of Sharon's family!)
Any issues or problems were always addressed to us with excellent communication. We always had messages, pictures and feedback about our daughters day.
Sharon made all the children feel so special on every occasion /celebration, always so thoughtful.
The children always came home with homemade pictures or artwork they made in their day, Sharon really engaged the children getting them involved in the different seasonal events.
My daughter always loved Sharon's choice of food and snacks, all nutrious, healthy homecooked meals and snacks.
We really couldn't recommend a better childminder, all fantastic memories (from days out to the park to fun play days in the garden!) for our little girl from start to finish. I wish we could do it all again!! Our daughter has gained excellent manners, become very bright and has great social skills, all with the help and encouragement off Sharon- having a great home to home environment.
I would give more than 5* if I could!!

Thank you so very much for the lovely review in these uncertain times .
I have continued to remain open to provide a service to all my families that needed my support during Covid . I have followed the government guidelines set , and also the information given from the Department of Education , to keep routines for all children be as normal as they possibly can be .
Thank you so much for continuing to work with me and support me in these times , and make me feel as appreciated as you have , and I look forward to welcome and care for the new edition of the family 😊
From the initial meeting with Sharon, she was attentive to my child’s needs and development. For example, she presented toys that were appropriate to my child’s age (10 months) such as rattles and teething toys. Sharon has followed my babies routine consistently to a ‘T’ including sleeping, feeding and play. My sons socialising and playing skills are shining through. This is all thanks to Sharon. In short, she is a fantastic child minder. My son has developed a great relationship with Sharon-where he now feels secure and happy to explore. As a mother, that’s all I could ask for!

I rarely leave reviews but for services such as someone looking after your most prized possession on earth, a glowing feedback is the least you could do to help other parents put their minds at ease.
Sharon has been absolutely wonderful with our girl. She invited us for a visit and her place is immaculate and very child friendly. There are various designated children's areas which was clean and organised. We brought our little one with us and while she was interacting with her, our daughter gave a big smile and that's when we kind of knew we made the right choice. She started going to Sharon one day a week when she was 4 months old and I can honestly say that it has benefited our daughter's socialization skills. She is 7 months old as I am writing this and she shows no signs of separation anxiety when we're out and about or when new people (our friends and family who she's not met or seen for a while) hold her. She never failed to give me an update especially during the first few days when I kept checking my phone (as you do). We started our daughter on a routine which includes sleep and feeding times to which Sharon maintains so you don't have to worry about breaking any patterns you've already established. To show how serious Sharon takes you and your child's privacy, she is also GDPR compliant.
Thank you for all that you do and for being a part of our daughter's life.

Our son has been with Sharon for a few months now after having a awful experience in a nursery setting. I can't thank Sharon enough for the time and effort she has put into our sons care. Sharon has a beautiful home that is clean, spacious and her playroom is fabulous. Sharon sends a detailed learning journal home for us to see our sons development, which is full of activities he has done , and lovely photos to show us just how settled and happy he is in her care.
Sharon is someone you can talk to as a friend as well as in her professional role.
If anyone is looking for childcare, we can highly recommend her as a childminder, we are so happy that Sharon had the availability to care for our son , and we can't thank her enough.
