Honest and flexible

Sharon has helped build my daughter's confidence back after an awful 6 months with a nursery. She has taken time to support her become less shy, encourage her to open up again and be the fun happy girl she used to be. She loves going to Sharon's and even on the days she cries for me not to go to work, she leaves the house sad but not in tears or holding the door frame haha. She has made friends there and having a diverse group of different ages has helped her develop much more than a nursery could have supported her to in the last year. Since then, my 1 year old son also started with Sharon and, as previously with my daughter, Sharon is honest about how he is coping, adapting, texts me throughout the day with updates or questions to be sure she provides the best care for him. I really appreciate being told he has cried the first 2 hours of the day but then settled, had another little cry etc than be lied to that he stopped as soon as I left him like I've heard the nursery staff do to concerned parents calling to check in. Sharon puts a lot of effort to helping children with transitions being a new sibling, starting nursery or school. She provides great activities for them too and rotates their toys to keep it engaging. Providing daily updates and pictures, how these activities help their development is very useful as you can't always corelate how is that helping them grow. All in all, I can't fault Sharon for all her flexibility, support, reassurance and honesty in the last 2 years I've used her childminding services.
