My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Danielle and I am the owner of sharps little stars, you can also find me on facebook.
I live with my husband Anthony and our two children Reyland who is 10 and Lili who is 4, we also share our home with two cats, chow and maize. They are very friendly and love to spend most of their time outside.
I offer a home from home experience with hope that the children in my care don’t feel too overwhelmed, I believe that less is more, I have a lovely play room for the children to explore as-well as a fair sized garden for them to enjoy. I love to bake and enjoy baking with the children.
I love that our daily routine will allow us to be flexible and go on little adventures, we live within walking distance to a couple of local parks and also the woodlands to explore the wildlife. We have a local sure start group a short walk away and the library on our door step too, we also have a soft play centre local to us. I have a vehicle with the correct insurance so I can also take the little ones out further afield on some days.
I work closely with parents and encourage home achievements to be shared so these can be added to their personal learning journeys. I believe it’s important to have a great relationship with the parents as communication is the main factor to the children being settled and happy.
I have chosen to offer school drop offs and pick ups for Leslie Manser school only.
If you would like to know anything more, please don’t hesitate to ask.
I am currently FULL but do have a waiting list.
Thankyou for your time
Danielle

I’m glad I was recommended to use Danielle as my childminder. Since my daughter has been attending she has come on leaps and bounds. Danielle has always been there to support where needed. Even to the little details of toilet training, Danielle has gone out of her way to ensure that my daughter feels comfortable to toilet train while being at Danielle’s house.
Danielle has always helped with advice and is so friendly and trustworthy, 100% recommend to anyone
