About Me
Hi. I am a mum to an almost 4 year old little boy. He is not due to start school until September 2026. His current childminder is due to go onto maternity leave in July which is why we are looking for a new one.
My Requirements
Both my husband and I are shift workers so our requirements would be different each week. Sometimes this would include early starts, before 7am and occasional later pick ups which would be 7pm.
We will know what day/s we require childcare for several months in advance.
Some weeks we need less childcare than other weeks. We are eligible for 30 hours funded by the government so are happy to use these as a minimum each week.

My son has been with Sparkling Steps for almost a year now and he loves it.
Hazel provides a vast range of activities for my son and the other children, of which she provides updates throughout the day. My son has learnt so much thanks to Hazel.
My husband and I are shift workers and require flexible childcare, Hazel provides this. We are grateful to have found her and we would highly recommend her.
