Wouldn't go anywhere else now

5 stars

I moved from Manchester to Northwich 4 years ago. I needed alot of support as we had no family in the area. We came across Sharon when searching for a childminder. When we visited we knew it was right for our daughter as it had a home from home feel. We loved the fact our daughter had trips out with Sharon each week. Grozone to play groups , to the salt museum. We have had the most thoughtful pictures, cards etc on mother's day , fathers day that we can keep forever. I could not recommend Sharon enough, not only supporting our daughter growing but supporting us as a family. Sharon is always trying to help where she can. My review could go on but hands down the best childminder and if we had a second child I hope there would be a space as I wouldn't want to go anywhere else!

I would not hesitate to recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a home from home childminder. My little girl absolutely loved attending Sharons, made lots of great memories. Sharon takes them out on adventures which is great that the children are out and about and learning. Sharon is very accommodating to the parents and would always do her up most to help and have the children when needed. We really will miss you Sharon thank you for being instrumental in helping Alex grow and learn new skills :)

HOME FROM HOME FUN CARING ENVIRONMENT.

5 stars

We have no problem in recommending Sharon to anyone who is seeking a home from home fun caring environment that would suit kids of all ages.
We tried many nurseries before we came across Sharon - Rocco took to her straight away and has been happy throughout his time under her care. We will be sad to leave in September.
We also use Sharon for our daughter Brooke who is 10 throughout the school holidays.
Rocco always enjoyed the outings they did and activities within Sharon's home.
Creating cards on special days eg Mothers day,Fathers day,Christmas was a nice touch.
If your child is particularly reluctant to leave you it can be very upsetting, Sharon sent me texts and little pictures early on to assure me he was happy.
Sharon is the real Mrs Mary Poppins, we will miss her.

Parent Review

5 stars

Everything that Sharon states on her profile is true!!
She has been a childminder (and now friend) to my 2 children since they were both a few months old. She always cared for and nurtured them as if they were her own whilst I was at work. They are now 5 and 7 years old and still go to Sharon's before and after school. They have always been happy there and continue to be.
Sharon has always been both flexible and reliable and there have been times when we would have been lost without her as my family do not live locally.
I would highly recommend Sharon (and her boys!) to anyone looking for a childminder.

Fantastic childminder - definitely recommend

5 stars

My daughters (2 years and 9 months) have now been going to Sharon for a couple of months. I don't usually write reviews for anything but I am so pleased with Sharon that I had to write a review this time. My eldest can be quite clingy around people she doesn't know so I was quite anxious about them both going to childcare. However, both of my girls have settled in from day 1 without any tears, the need for settling in sessions or me needing to stay for a while at drop off! They both have such fun filled days going for walks, playbarns, doing lots of craft and playing in the very well equipped playroom. My eldest even asked if she could go back again after her very first day! I can't thank Sharon enough for making the transition of me returning to work so easy as I knew the girls were happy and being looked after by someone who cares for them.

I wanted to leave a review on here because I always think it's very difficult to choose a childminder by just reading their profile. There's no better way than finding out from the parents of the other children they've cared for.

Sharon was my son's childminder until he started school this September. She also cared for my daughter during school holidays on occasion.

My son loved his time with Sharon. She has a friendly, open nature and is a really warm person. My son always felt happy to spend the day with her and enjoyed a wide range of different activities while he was there. Sharon takes the children out to toddler groups, playbarns, for walks and to playgrounds to let them have fun, run around and mix with others their own age. She also does activities and games at home with them. She's got a great environment for kids and my son particularly loved the playroom full of great toys and things to do!

I've always found Sharon to be really reliable - she never had a day off ill in the whole time we had her as a childminder. She was also really accommodating if we needed an early start, which was so helpful to me.

I've recommended Sharon to others already as I think she's a great person, a fantastic childminder and someone who I would completely trust to care for my children.

Review for Sharon Spalding

5 stars

Sharon has looked after my baby for the last 3 months, since she was 9 months old. My daughter loves going to Sharon's house and has a huge smile for her every morning. I wanted a place that was as close to our home environment as possible, which is what Sharon provides. She takes her to various activities which are good for her development. I have found Sharon very helpful and flexible. She has often gone beyond what is expected of a childminder, which has made my life much easier and less stressful. All in all I have nothing but praise for the job Sharon does. 10 out of 10 from both of us :)
