Sharon has looked after my son and daughter three days a week since they were 11 months old; they are now 4 and 2 years old. She is a professional, caring and calm individual and has provided my children with a safe and nurturing home environment in which they feel happy and cared for.
Sharon provides the children in her setting with a variety of carefully chosen toys and it is obvious they are learning through play; this is enhanced through her conversation and thoughtful questioning. She takes them out daily to local toddler groups, playgrounds as well as meeting other childminders so providing them with a variety of experiences in which to develop. Sharon has got to know my children as individuals and will then taylor make activities to interest them, she identifies targets and next steps regularly and works towards helping them to achieve these. Sharon always welcomes me and my children with a warm friendly smile and provides me with a 'Daily Diary' about their activities.
Ultimately my children are happy and enjoy the time they spend with Sharon, making my return to work easier.
