It’s hard to really describe in words how fantastic Sharon and Geoff are!
When we first had our little boy back in 2017 we started asking around for recommendations for childminders and nurseries and we were soon put in touch with Sharon and Geoff and we were invited to visit their home.
With this being our first baby we really didn’t know what we were really looking for but from the moment we stepped foot in their house we were welcomed with nothing but kindness, reassurance and friendliness and we knew from then that a childminder setting was what we were looking for and that this is where we wanted F to go.
He was only very young when we reserved a place for him as we didn’t want to lose out as they were so highly in demand.

He first started with them when he was 11 months old and I can honestly say we have never ever looked back. At the time of him starting I lost my dad so not only did I have the nervousness of leaving my first born child but I also had a lot going on personally but Sharon and Geoff couldn’t have put my mind at ease any more and went out of their way to make us feel as comfortable as possible.

F settled very quickly and has honestly become such a wonderful little boy. I genuinely believe that a lot of this is down to them and the fact that they provide such a loving home and teach them everything that they could possibly need to know means that they have become an extension to our family. Every day he goes in with a smile and comes home telling me how much fun he has had that day. He has made some wonderful friends and now at nearly 3 he has come on so much not only in his own personality but with his development in terms of speech, language, relationship building etc etc and this is all part of the fantastic service Sharon and Geoff offer.

They genuinely care and love for all of the children in their care and to know that your child is happy, having fun but also being taught all the necessary early years foundation skills makes you relax and be able to get on with work or whatever it is you need to do.

I really struggled at first with feeling guilty that I had to go back to work as I felt I should be with my son but I have now grown to realise that by sending him to Sharon and Geoff I have given him more than he could ever need. He has his mum and dad but also an extra family that he sees daily and has the most wonderful time.

They have fantastic home cooked meals daily and they keep you up to date on their activities via an app so you can see what they are up to.
When F started there he had a dairy allergy and severe reflux which meant he was on a specialised diet. None of this was ever a problem and we were kept up to date with what he had eaten on that day and he was always catered for so he never felt left out at meal times.

I can’t recommend them enough and can guarantee that your child would be in the safest of hands here.

The only downfall is that he can’t stay their forever and will eventually have to go on to school but if I had my way he would stay with Sharon and Geoff until he was ready to leave home 😊

Thank you Sharon and Geoff for everything you do for F
