Best start to early development and nurturing!

My little girl has been cared for by Sharron since she was a few months old (she’s now almost 6) and I couldn’t be more grateful for what Sharron has done for our daughter.

Sharron’s setting is second to none! The physical learning environment and resources are remarkable and are regularly enhanced to reflect the children’s interests and present learning. Sharron is constantly striving for excellence and as a result has recently completely overhauled the outdoor learning space. Children now have free flow access to learning indoor and outdoors. Provision reflects the requirements of the Early Years Curriculum ensuring children have all necessary opportunities to develop and flourish.

The initial reason for wanting a child minder instead of a private day nursery is because we wanted a “home environment” for our young baby and felt a nursery would be to formal and institutionalised. With Sharron, young children get the best of both! Our daughter benefited from familiar routines and structures whilst also napping on the family sofa cuddled up watching a movie!

Over the years my child has built strong bonds with Sharron and her family. She honestly loves going and looks forward to seeing the adults and all her friends.

Before starting school our daughter also benefited from attending jungle junior sessions (communal church building next door) where Sharron and other Childminder’s and children meet up weekly. This experience helped to develop our daughters confidence, social and communication skills when meeting other adults and children. These sessions also built great foundations for school as she was familiar with a number of children who were in her nursery and reception class.

Sharron ensures parents are fully informed of each stage of their child’s development, i was informed of her strengths and and next steps and together we worked on these to ensure my child was making progress in all areas of her development.

Communication between parents and Sharron is excellent. We use several platforms including a private Facebook group, wats app group, texts and calls.

Sharron is incredibly flexible and accommodating, she goes above and beyond her role for the needs of the children and families she works with and is more than helpful if parents need additional days or hours than normal.

My little girl is now in full time school but still goes to Sharron for before and after school care and holiday club and all these years on loves it!

I couldn’t recommend Sharron enough, for us it’s been the best decision we have made for our daughter so far.
