Little Tippitoes's Reviews

A real treasure – fantastic childminder!

Sharon has looked after our daughter since she was 9 months old, now nearly 2, we couldn’t be happier with the service she provides. She is attentive to our daughter’s needs and routine which for us made the settling in phase a breeze. Our daughter always looks forward to seeing her and at pick up quite often doesn’t want to leave!

The children go to regular playgroups, walks and visits to the park. They do baking, crafts and learning through play. She provides them with nutritional snacks and meals and discusses with you your child’s likes and dislikes. My daughter can be fussy with her food at times but this has never been a problem for Sharon.

The daily diary/communication book details what our daughter has done, toys she has played with, food she’s eaten, how long she has slept for and I love receiving the daily texts and picture updates.

We feel very lucky to have found Sharon, she is a real treasure and our daughter just loves her. If you’re looking for a calm and caring home from home environment in which your child can develop and grow then I’d highly recommend Little Tippitoes.

Very happy

Our son Alexander has been in the care of Little Tippitoes (Sharon Long) for 2 years and we could not be happier. Sharon is very professional and has best interest in mind for her mindees from all aspects ...food (meals she provides are healthy), play, learning and development. Communication between us and Sharon has been very efficient and Sharon has always kept us upto date throughout the day what Alexander is up to with pictures, too. Could not fault Little Tippitoes and the setting at all. Highly recommend.

Excellent childminder highly recommended!!

Sharon started looking after my daughter when i returned to work a year ago. I was nervous about going back to work and was so happy when I found Sharon to care for my daughter. I knew instantly that Sharon would be the perfect childminder to look after my dsughter. She has such a kind, caring and considerate nature.
I am kept up to date daily with texts, pics which is lovely and each day I have a diary to read which is great. I know that my daughter is in good,safe loving hands. The house is always clean and child friendly with a home from home feel. I know my daughter makes herself at home when there! ?
Sharon does daily activities with my daughter and they go out each day to the park or toddler group which i know my daughter loves.
I would highly recommend Sharon as a childminder she goes a fantastic job looking after my daughter.

Wonderful Childminder

Sharon has been my son's childminder since I went back to work. I was quite nervous about returning to work especially about finding the right kind of childcare for my son. As soon as I met Sharon I knew she was perfect for us. Sharon is very professional but she is also kind, warm, caring and friendly and has provided a very special home from home environment for my son while I am at work. She has a flexible approach to her work and made a special effort to get to know my son from the start which helped him to settle in. I think because of the way Sharon works my son was able to settle in very quickly and happily. He always looks forward to his days with Sharon and gets very excited to see her when he gets dropped off. Sharon provides a range of activities all of which encourage learning and play, both in her home and outside either at the park or toddle groups. I always look forward to reading his progress book which updates me on what he has done that day and is written from my sons point of view (this has been especially valuable to me as I don't get home from work until he has gone to bed). Sharon is very approachable and very easy to communicate with. She is also very reliable and has not had any time off sick since my son has started. I feel so lucky to have found her. I know my son will miss his time with her massively as he will be at home with me while I am on maternity leave.

Excellent childminder

Sharon has looked after my son since he was 10 months old and we have been extremely impressed with all aspects of her service. She offers a warm, loving, family environment, lovely home cooked meals and we have watching him thrive within her care. She has a clean and very child friendly house, with a lovely playroom and garden and also takes the children on trips out come rain or shine!

She is wonderfully enthusiastic about the children in her care and full of energy and creative ideas. As well as being very caring, we have also found her to be very professional. She is keen to hear all about the childrens' weekends and holidays and to work with parents to provide the best possible routines and activities for the children in her care.

We have always been kept fully updated with regards to his progress both through daily texts and a communication book and his learning journal has been completed regularly with great care and attention.

I would thoroughly recommend Sharon as a childminder to all who are looking. We have had nothing but compliments for her since day one!
