I feel incredibly fortunate to have Shelley as a childminder to both my daughters. My eldest has been with Shelley since she was 11 months old and is now 4 and a half. As daunting as it can be finding someone to look after your children, right from the start Shelley, Mick and Abi created a warm, nurturing and safe environment.

Not only do they provide excellent care they also encourage learning through creative play and outdoor activities in their garden with thoughtful activities for children’s birthdays and celebrations throughout the year. Many of the children have also been with Shelley for the time my eldest has and she has formed some wonderful friendships.

Communication is always clear and Shelley is always available to contact. We receive updates through the Baby Days app and lovely photos are shared daily making us feel involved in their day to day experiences.

It’s plain to see that it’s not just a business for Shelley, Mick and Abi as they really go above and beyond and show care for all the children. It is a second home for us, my daughter often asks if she can go to Shelley’s on the weekend! I would highly recommend Shelley and her family.
