My children have been going to Sharon for nearly 8 years now from the age of 1 and they absolutely love her. They now go to her before and after school and during the holidays. I feel lucky that we found such a caring, dedicated childminder. During the school holidays they can’t wait to go to Sharon and Stephen as they always put on activities and take them out on adventures. Even before and after school they are busy playing games, crafting etc. Sharon and Stephens house is a great setting with lots of toys, book, crafts etc and a lovely big garden for them to play. I would highly recommend Sharon and Stephen to anyone looking for a childminder and feel my children have benefitted hugely from being in their care.
