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!
