Average Rating: 5 stars (5 from 10 reviews)

Sharon is a wonderful childminder who has created a home from home for my son and all of the children that go there - the only difference is that it’s much more fun than home because there are more children to play with and much more to do!

Sharon runs a safe and organised environment , where rules are fair and everyone is respected and listened to.

As a full time working mum, I appreciate her brilliant organisation skills with regards to invoicing, holiday, hours of work and any changes or special instructions.

My son is extremely fussy with food, and Sharon cooks a large variety of healthy home cooked meals all of which my son loves and I find he is experimenting more now when at home, especially with vegetables.

There is always a lot for the kids to do and Sharon is very encouraging of my son’s love of drawing - he said himself that he loves this time to draw and see his friends.

My son settled very well into Sharon’s care and I never feel I have to worry about him when he is there. I know he is being cared for and looked after as if he was with a family member.

My daughter started with Sharon earlier this year when she started school. Sharon is so friendly and welcoming from the moment you meet her which is what made my decision so much easier after some trepidation about going down the childminder route after only ever using a private nursery.

My daughter is very happy going to Sharon’s house and looks forward to it. She is a bit of a fussy eater and Sharon has gone above and beyond to accommodate that in order for her to continue having dinners which is what we wanted. Sharon’s home is a warm environment but also offers structure which is important. Sharon has also looked after my younger daughter on an ad hoc basis and she is very happy there as well.

Finally, Sharon is unbelievably organised which is such a huge bonus when life is generally pretty chaotic. Highly recommend!

I couldn't ask for a better childminder for my little girl. We had to move childminders at the end of year 2 and my 7 yr old daughter has settle right in at Sharon's. She is looked after, she's happy and she is always well fed!

She's made friends and always looks forward to dinner at Sharon's.

From a paren't point of view, she is communicative, warm and friendly

I would recommend Sharon in a heart beat.

My eldest son was with Sharon from 5 to 11 years old. My youngest started with her at 2 years old and he’s still with her; so they’ve had many years of Sharon’s excellent care.

From potty training, to trying new foods, and pushing boundaries etc – we’ve been through it all and Sharon has been caring and supportive throughout.

From a parents’ point of view she is fair, organised, communicative, inclusive and really gets to know the children as individuals.

From my son’s point of view – he loves and respects Sharon. He feels like part of the family and he’s already told me he doesn’t want to leave her when he goes to secondary school (he’s only 8 years old!). He enjoys her home cooked meals, the various crafts and games/garden; and especially the trips to the beach and various parks during the school holidays. He feels safe and secure in her care, they have a lovely bond.

Look no further, Sharon is an outstanding childminder. I hope you’re lucky enough to get a space with her!

Sharon has looked after my two children for the last year, full day care for my daughter aged 4 and before and and after school care for my son aged 10 and I feel very lucky to have found such a great Childminder. Sharon’s setting is homely and genuine, her manner is kind, caring and fun.

It is tough leaving your children in someone else’s care and some children do not adapt to change well but throughout this year Sharon has been understanding and supportive. She helped the children settle quickly, reassured me whenever I have a worry and has made this last year stress free in regards to childcare.

The children feel safe in her care, she makes sure that everyone is included and has a wide number of activities to keep everyone involved.

I am very thankful to Sharon and cannot recommend her highly enough!

My little girl has been with Sharon since she was 9 months old. The entire process of going back to work was made possible by the fact that my daughter was so happy with Sharon from day one. I’ve always been impressed by the activities that the kids do on a daily basis and I enjoy hearing about all of the things she gets up to.
Recently we’ve just been through toilet training and while I started the process during my holidays I was really impressed with how Sharon reinforced things and actually her consistency was the key to successful potty training.
Overall, I have been very lucky. My little girl is more than happy to go to Sharon’s every day and she has flourished so much in her care. It is a warm, family based environment and I would highly recommend it.

Sharon has looked after my son since he was 10 months old. He attends full time and I have no doubt that he thoroughly enjoys every day.

I am extremely happy with the care he receives. Sharon's home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my son loves playing with the huge range of toys available. His favourite place is Sharon's garden which is the perfect setting for a safe outdoor environment. Sharon's family are all so friendly and kind and there is a real loving atmosphere to her home.

Sharon provides a fantastic range of weekly activities including multiple outings to toddler groups and the library. I also receive lots of handmade crafts made by my son as keepsakes which I love. My son's confidence has grown tremendous amounts since being in Sharon's care and he is now a wonderfully outgoing little boy.

Sharon has great communication with me as a parent. I receive a daily update of where he has been, what he has eaten, nap times etc. I often receive pictures and I'm always advised of new words or actions that he's learnt.

I would absolutely recommend Sharon as a great and reliable childminder. I feel incredibly lucky to have her look after my son.

Sharon has cared for my daughter throughout her primary school years during term time and school holidays. As my daughter has been the eldest child in Sharon's care, I could have worried that she would feel left out, but, she has always been made to feel part of the gang! She will miss Sharon now that she is going off to secondary school. Sharon is a very fair childminder treating all the kids equal. I can't put a star rating for the food, as in more recent years my daughter has only been with Sharon from 7.30am to the start of school, but, prior to that, Sharon accomplished the impossible, and got my daughter to eat some fruit!

Sharon looked after our little boy full time from when I started back to work. Her setting is beautiful and her care second to none. We were so reassured that our son would be looked after and loved. He had so much fun. We felt like part of the family
