Tiny Town Tots

Cannot recommend enough

Sharon and her team took our 1yr daughter on and we could not have been more happy with our choice. This is our first born so as expected we were a little nervous naturally but we had communication with Sharon during the day and on pickup to put us st ease. Very kind and accommodating group and we could see the development and learning in our little girl almost immediately. Such a shame we had to take her out but our move away from London dictated that

Wonderful childminders

Our son Leo has attended Tiny Town Tots since he was 10 months old. Myself and my partner are so grateful for all of the love and care Sharon and her daughters have given to Leo. He is so happy when we drop him off there and it has been amazing watching how much he has learnt. He is always coming out with new words and sounds, he now says his version of "thank you" when you give him something, he knows lots of different songs, all of which we know we have not taught him (!); all have come from the time he has spent in Sharon's home. They are always doing lovely activities with the children and he often comes home with different pieces of art. We are sadly leaving as we are moving to a different area, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sharon.

Caring, Reliable, and Lovely Childminder

Our daughter had a wonderful time at Tiny Town Tots and really bonded with Sharon and Nicola. She was there from 11-27 months and she learned so much! We also started with Sharon during the first winter of covid and our daughter had never been looked after by anyone but me and my partner. It was such a comfort to know that she was in loving hands with Sharon and Nicola. I especially liked that she was in a small group and built meaningful relationships with the other kids. Would definitely recommend Tiny Town Tots to anyone looking for a warm, caring, and reliable childcare option.

Wonderful loving care

I'm so so happy I chose Sharon and Nicola to look after my daughter. Dora is thriving in Sharon's care. I was quite nervous about sending Dora to childcare as with covid she'd only been looked after by family. Sharon made the settling in process easy, with a graduated start. On Dora's first half day, Sharon sent me several updates by text which was so reassuring.

I very much feel we work as a team, communication is excellent, we've worked on Dora's eating and naps together. Sharon is very flexible, and if I tell her we've had a hard morning for example coming back after a holiday, she gives Dora extra cuddles and care.

I like that because Sharon works with her daughter, she takes more children, so it operates like a small nursery, so Dora has more interaction with a small group of pals and access to lots of equipment, but with all the benefits of continuity of care in a small setting.

Sharon has a big focus on outdoor fun, and as she has a minibus takes the kiddies out on regular trips to different parks. I also like that the house is on a quiet residential street, so time in the garden and yard is away from traffic.

Dora's learnt so much while at Tiny Town, before she was two she's learned to count to ten including be able to point at numbers and name then, and one day she came home and recited the alphabet, we were amazed! :O She picks up nursery rhymes and brings home cute craft projects.

All in all I couldn't recommend Sharon enough, I feel she is an extension of the family. First class care.

Wonderful childminder

I was so nervous about our son going to the childminders as he was just 6 months old when I went back to work, but I really needn’t have been. Sharon has been utterly fantastic. She is incredibly good at her job and so brilliant with the baby. We work together as he is growing and developing, and he is coming on leaps and bounds on all fronts!! She has also been incredibly patient and kind to me, which has made the whole experience so much easier.

If you are looking for kind, highly competent care, and a safe and happy environment for your baby I would really recommend Tiny Town Tots.

Kind, trusted, competent childminders

Our daughter has been going to Tiny Town Tots since she was ten months old. She’s now a little over two. She’s loved her time with Sharon, Natasha and Nicola. She always comes back beaming and often with a new drawing or craft project she’s done.

As parents we fully trust Tiny Town Tots to look after her with kind, caring and professional approach. Evie comes back clean (cleaner than mummy/daddy days) fed and rested. We discover over time all things she is being taught: words to songs, to count to ten, dance moves. Now she can talk she tells us all the things they do together during the day. When she was younger we really appreciated the more direct and kind care she received in this homely setting.

I would whole heartedly recommend Tiny Town Tots for anyone looking for childcare.

Wonderful childminder

With Covid, we felt like our son had missed out on the fun activities he would have done in baby groups etc.

Since starting with Sharon at 8 months old Santi has loved going to Tiny Town Tots Monday-Thursday, where they do loads of learning activities fun play time.

We always feel well informed and love receiving daily updates on what they have been up to. It's great to feel assured that your child is in a safe and kind environment.

We are sad to be leaving Sharon, Nicola and Natasha and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a childcare solution.

Amazing childminder where you child will flourish!

We had previously been nervous about our son entering childcare, as for a large proportion of his life, he had only had contact with myself and my husband due to the COVID pandemic.

Meeting Sharon instantly eased my worries – we were wow-ed with her friendliness and professionalism, all in a homely environment where our son has absolutely thrived from the moment he started.

Our son loves going to Sharon’s house and always returns home well fed, rested, and having had a brilliant time with a plethora of toys. As parents, we love seeing all the new ‘tricks’ he has learned, like actions to songs, and new words, and always feel well informed of Coen’s day-to-day activities through his ‘book’, as well as a friendly chat at pick-up time. We are incredibly grateful that Sharon has allowed our son to flourish and really let his (very energetic) personality shine.

We are so sad to be leaving Sharon, Natasha, and Nicole (due to relocation) and really wish we could take the Tiny Town Tots team with us!!

We can whole-heartedly recommend Sharon and know that any child in her care will be so very happy.

Excellent care

I was nervous about returning to work in November and leaving my daughter in someone else's care for the first time but on meeting Sharon I knew I had nothing to worry about.

Sharon has provided Ruby with a safe, clean and engaging place to play and learn. She keeps us well informed on what Ruby has been up to in the day.

Ruby has a great time at Tiny Town Tots and is always happy to see Sharon and her family - they have obviously bonded which makes me happy too.

Excellent care, lovely people

I can wholeheartedly recommend Sharon’s setting. My son started here when he was 10.5 months old and has only recently moved on to a bigger nursery/preschool (he's nearly 3) in preparation for school – he absolutely loves Sharon and her family, and we had to think long and hard before making the move.

The first thing I noticed when I went to meet Sharon was her warm, professional attitude, and the absolutely immaculate condition of the setting. There are lots of toys and resources, but no sense that the playroom or garden are crowded or disorganised. My good first impressions have held up, and it’s clear that Sharon and her daughters take their responsibilities very seriously. My son always ends the day well-fed, well-rested and happy, and I never worry about his safety or wellbeing because I know he is being carefully looked after.

He clearly also has a lot of fun. The children do drawing and craft activities, have storytime, dance, go outdoors, and play with all the toys and equipment provided. After the weeks of 2020 lockdown, I was worried he would be reluctant to leave home and go back to childcare, but my son was actually excited to go back! (He also settled quickly here at the beginning; I was particularly concerned about naps and sleep, but that seems to be really well handled here, and even my 'bad' napper got the hang of the routine within a day or two.)

I hadn't considered a childminder until my husband suggested it and I visited a few settings before settling on Tiny Town Tots, which was by far the most impressive and reassuring. A safe pair of hands for your little ones.
