My child Annabelle has been with Sharon for just over three years now, Sharon has been an excellent childminder and has helped me teach, love and make sure my child is always safe. From our first meeting I knew Sharon was going to be the best choice for us and has supported me and annabelle over the last three years. Anyone looking for a childminder who is always willing to help and put your child’s interests first above anything else then Sharon is defiantly the one you need to be contacting.

Sharon looks after my kids like they are her own, both started when they were 2 years old under the 2 year funding and are now 5 and nearly 3.
As soon as you walk inside you’re made to feel welcome, and the kids love sharon and can’t wait to back week in week out.
She’s always out and about with the kids no matter the weather, helps them learn as they play and always there if you have worries about your kids.
Open, honest, friendly and a home from home.
