Mark making , arts, crafts , paint, playdoh, gloop, bug hunting, bird watching, gardening, cooking, singing and dancing are a few of our favourites.

outside area has a safe play area slide, the pirate ship was definitely a favourite . a grassed area with a mud kitchen. Paved area with sand and water, balls, playhouse, ride ons and pushalongs,

I have knowledge of different approaches Hygge, curiosity, in the moment planning .
And offer my own blend of all and we have lots of fun and learning new things everyday.

My daily routine includes free play, days out, planned adult lead group activities, one to one time, stories, singing with instruments, puppets, all fitted around meals and snacks. A balance of time inside and outside depending on the children who are here.

Added benefit at the moment I do not do before and after school care only on Wednesday and Friday only , so I can concentrate on my under 5’s having the most fun all day.

Excellent, Caring and Professional child minder

Sharon looked after my daughter Grace since 8 month old baby. From the day we kept
her she made us at an ease. We are very glad to have sharon as childminder. She plans lots of indoor and outdoor activities and takes for a walk. She has a lovely outside space where children can play. She has always updated us with all the activities and daily routines.
Thank you very much for your time on taking care of Grace.we miss you .

Highly recommended for anyone looking for caring , trustworthy and professional childminder. She is the best.

Absolutely great

I used Sharon to look after my child when I went back to work. As a new parent it can be a stressful time leaving your child with anyone but I felt so at ease and he loved going back everyday.
He learnt so much being with her and the other children and I highly recommend Sharon to anyone and everyone!
