I wanted to leave a review on here because I always think it's very difficult to choose a childminder by just reading their profile. There's no better way than finding out from the parents of the other children they've cared for.

Sharon was my son's childminder until he started school this September. She also cared for my daughter during school holidays on occasion.

My son loved his time with Sharon. She has a friendly, open nature and is a really warm person. My son always felt happy to spend the day with her and enjoyed a wide range of different activities while he was there. Sharon takes the children out to toddler groups, playbarns, for walks and to playgrounds to let them have fun, run around and mix with others their own age. She also does activities and games at home with them. She's got a great environment for kids and my son particularly loved the playroom full of great toys and things to do!

I've always found Sharon to be really reliable - she never had a day off ill in the whole time we had her as a childminder. She was also really accommodating if we needed an early start, which was so helpful to me.

I've recommended Sharon to others already as I think she's a great person, a fantastic childminder and someone who I would completely trust to care for my children.
