Children thrive in an atmosphere that encourages independence and exploration. A warm and nurturing environment fosters close attachments, while effective learning assessment and planning contribute to good progress. Activities challenge children and promote independence. Areas for improvement include enhancing communication during activities and reducing waiting periods between tasks. Overall, the childcare promotes children's development through a balance of affection and structured learning opportunities.

Thank you so much for this 😊 xx

Best childminder ever

5 stars

Sharon has been an amazing childminder to both of my children. They both have so much fun when they are with her as she provides a wide range of creative, active, messy, indoors and outdoor activities. They love going on there little trips out with her even when its rainy and they are always asking when they are going there next. Shes been great doing early morning starts and school runs. I would highly recommend her to anyone. 😁
