My son started when he was a baby, and he is now 2 years old. I can highly recommend Sharon. To describe Sharon as a Childminder is woefully inaccurate. She is simply the most wonderful person you will meet who intrinsically adores children. We have increased days and hours, and I have been able to concentrate on my work. You can't put a price on good childcare, save to say that it has enabled me to work harder without any feelings of guilt. Its never easy leaving your little one, especially when they cry, however Sharon is very reassuring and has a magic way. Always communicating exactly whats going on, and there is a fab online diary you can log into to read about your little ones day, including photos and videos. The best part of Sharons care I believe is the 'Memory Bus' they go out most days, up to Wakehurst or to Sheffield Park to see the trains. This is invaluable and provides my son with a varied fun filled day. He is always shattered, well fed (all organic, homemade and non-homogenised!) and very content after his day in her care. I believe in Sharons abilities so much that I have delayed his start date at Pre-School, as he follows the EYFS under her care and is doing so well there. Sharon's husband Geoff is a registered helper and my son is also very fond of him too! One of my other children (5yrs) has also been there on inset days, and he had a great time too! If you are lucky enough to have found Sharon, and she has a space go for it! Thank you Sharon for all you have done for our family, without you and your care we wouldn't be where we are today.
