Shell has been caring for both my sons since October and I cannot fault her . My eldest son didn't speak really but in a few weeks shell had him chatting away building his confidence to talk to people and start to ask for things. He's now achieving to his age.
Shells house is amazing I don't think I can name a toy she doesn't have and if there's one your child likes she does her best to provide it. They always have plenty to eat and drink whilst with shell my youngest loves food and is always eating but she provides healthy snacks for him to pick at through the day.
I have needed advice with my sons and shell is great to give any she can. The setting shell has is a home from home and the children play like family just as she treats them.
I cannot fault her she's a star for us !!

Our son has been going to Shells for almost a year and I can honestly say that her house is his favourite place to be!
After spending 9 months with another child minder where he simply didn't settle and couldn't wait to leave at the end of the day, we now have trouble getting him to come home because he is having so much fun. Shell has a great set-up both indoors and outdoors that simply has to be seen to be believed. The level of play based learning and trips out into the community is outstanding and every day is planned in advance to maximise their time together.
Regular progress reports and updates at the end of each day let you know just how well your little ones are progressing.
We couldn't have wished for a better or more suited person to mind our child and frankly couldn't recommend Shell highly enough. It's obvious that Shell loves her work as it shines through in her care and passion for the children's development.
Anyone considering contacting Shell about their child care needs should stop wondering and pick up the phone. It will be the best decision you make for you and your child!

Shell has been caring for my son, on our first visit my son instantly felt comfortable there. Shell provides a safe, nurturing environment and I'd highly recommend Shell to any parent looking for care. My other son is going to Shell in September, and I know he will be cared for and nurtured there. Highly recommended childminder.

My little boy absolutely loves Shell! I honestly cannot fault her, she is amazing with him and is always teaching them new things and taking them out to different places. My little boy was very shy and quite clingy when he first went, but Shell helped him through it and now he's talking so much more and is the happiest little boy! Everytime we get in the car he's wanting to go to her house, he's always asking after her :-)
Shell has sooo many activities for them in the house too, the garden is its own play park with everything your little one needs!
I would 100% recommend Shell to everyone, she provides everything they need and so much more.
