Sharon looks after my nine-month-old two full days a week. Leaving him so young was never going to be easy but Sharon has made the whole process so much more bearable - she really is a home from home and my son has settled in so well and loves his days with Sharon.

When I drop him off and pick him up he is smiling and I can see how well they both interact together and that he is happy and enjoys his time there.

Sharon is always smiling - she is a positive, calm and happy influence and looks after my son in a way akin to my own parenting, offering him consistency. Her home caters for children brilliantly and my son loves being around her own children, learning and watching what they do as a positive influence.
