Sharon Palmer Childminding stands for learning through play with structured activites to suit each individual child's needs, whole hearted commitment and holistic child care. Increasing demands are being made on child care facilities, since all parents want the very best for their children, right from their very first learning experiences. In addition, there is now a marked trend towards intellectual education for children, but still children also need to play, move, get enough exercise with fresh air and discover their own bodies.

Our Home-based setting achieves all objectives by offering space for moving around, plenty of opportunity for play with an emphasis on playing and learning outdoors.  The number one benefit of Home-based Childcare is that it should feel like home - the kitchen, the lounge etc is always open and available to all children with safety measures in place.

Our aim is to support each child through his or her own development.

My home is smoke free, and has plenty of space for arts, crafts and playing. I have lots of toys for all ages which are added to on a regular basis. My garden has a playhouse, climbing frame, slide, under cover sandpit area and trampoline as well as lots of grass to play football, all in a private and secure setting. We have a pet tortoise and fish that all children are encouraged to interact with. All entrances to my home and garden are protected by cctv for added security and peace of mind.
