My Summary
About Me
My name is sharon thorpe, I live with my husband paul and my son Charlie 28 and our gorgeous cocker spaniel poppy. I enjoy walking the dog and keep fit classes. We live in The Ridings which is less then a five minute walk to and from Birchwood grove school and Dicker House pre school, across the road from a small park and nearby nature walks. In my home the children have access to two reception rooms a play room and downstairs toilet with easy access and view to the garden area. We have a good sized secure garden with wooden play house,and a variety of outside toys, we make outings daily to toddler groups, library, soft play, visits to wakehurst place, garden centres and local parks where we have sports days and the nature reserve where we go on bug hunts build dens look at the changes in seasons take crafts and activities. As part of a new exciting new project I’ve recently been given tenancy of an allotment plot near a nature reserve in burgess hill. where the children can learn all about where food comes from encouraging healthy eating whilst also out in the fresh air enjoying some exercise , I provide a home from home childcare in a safe nurturing environment. Great opportunity for children to experience the EYFS in a small setting with the opportunity to have exciting daily outings with a variety experiences, also the chance to socialise with other smaller settings.
