My son has been with Sharon for a year and a half, since he was 1 and he is really happy there. Her house looks like a nursery, it is full of toys and the walls are covered in colourful posters and learning charts. She also has a garden full of outdoor toys. This all creates a very warm and welcoming environment. The park is also very close and they go there often.

Sharon and her daughter (also a registered childminder) look after the children together, this means they can have more than 3 children. My son really enjoys the company of other children and finds it very stimulating. When I pick him up I am always amazed at how well behaved they all are. Often they are are all sat around the table doing a puzzle or game together, taking turns and sharing.

The days are structured with regular meal times and nap times. My son has lots of food allergies and Sharon has been very understanding about catering for him. She provides breakfast, lunch and tea for him. I know Sharon is very safety conscious and I feel confident that my son is in very safe hands.
