The thought of going back to work for any parent can be highly stressful, with the care of your child being your main priority, it is essential that you are able to find the right carer who will meet your child’s individual needs, and I feel we have found this with Sharon.
Micah has now been at Sharon’s for 2 years 7 months and we have a good partnership of care when deciding on how my son is looked after. Sharon encourages positive behaviour as we do and I am happy to say we are able to be joint partners in the care of Micah.

Sharon’s home is smoke free, immaculately clean, safe and stimulating environment which are all important factors to me. It is immediately noticeable how hygienic Sharon is with the use of gloves at nappy changing time and regular wiping of the equipment and toys.

Sharon provides all the meals and snacks that Micah requires throughout the day. There is a weekly menu for parents to see what the children will be eating for the week. The menu is frequently packed with nutritional meals and the children always receive a healthy and well balanced diet.

Sharon has a large variety of age appropriate toys and there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor play as Sharon has a covered garden which means the children can be outside even when it rains! She also has an extensive amount of outdoor toys, along with walks, trips to the local park, play groups, indoor play centres and museums!
The opportunities are excellent for social interaction and time for bonding with other children of all ages. All Sharon’s equipment meets safety standards and we never doubt the safety of our child as Sharon constantly updates her qualifications.

Micah thoroughly enjoys the company of his peers! When I arrive to collect him, he is always content and usually reluctant to go home as he is having a good time playing and singing along to nursery rhymes.

Sharon provides regular feedback on how Micah is doing and provides parents with a diary which entails all Micah’s activities completed for the day as well as how many naps, nappy changes and what food he has eaten. .

Sharon has gone above and beyond her duties, I value her not only as Micah’s childminder but someone who truly cares for my son and his happiness and wellbeing.
