About Me
OPEN DAY Saturday 29th July - 10am - 4pm - please get in touch if you'd like to come along
Thank you for looking at my profile, my name is Sharma and I've been a registered childminder for 6 years now, I would describe myself as a bubbly, kind and caring person with a passion for children.
Our setting comprises a playroom, nap room, dining / craft room, dedicated nappy room and a big beautiful garden - all on one floor.
During the summer we spend most of the time in our large garden, doing messy activities, playing with water and ice, eating our meals outside and playing with our friends. I would love to welcome you to our setting and show you the type of care we offer to families.
My Experience
I have lots of experience caring for children and I am dedicated to my role, I have worked for 6 years as a registered childminder and have done countless hours babysitting for our lovely families and their friends families.
Children in our care benefit from a warm home from home atmosphere where the focus is on each individual child's needs. We follow the child's routine from home and plan activites designed to spark their curiosity.
Each child has a learning journal which we use to document their activities, milestones and steps along their development journey.
We communicate regularly with parents throughout the day using whatsapp, sending photos of your child doing activities, playing and having fun. We also send details about what we've been up to including meals, snacks, nappy changes and how theyve been getting on that day generally so you have a run down of the type of day they've had.

Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Sharma. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Sharma is such a warm and bubbly person who we have been using for nearly 4 years. She’s amazing with my painfully shy little girl and gives her a wide range of experiences which has really ‘brought her out of her shell’. Sharma works with other childminders allowing my child to socialise with more little ones, just not as many as a nursery which I think is the best of both worlds.
