My little girl started with Shelley, Mick and Abi 18 months ago and it's one of the best decisions I made.
Coco has a great time going there and I know she sees them as family. Every day there are plenty of pictures uploaded and I'm frequently surprised by all the amazing activities that they have been doing. Shelley sets up swimming pools, bouncy castles, outdoor crafts.
They play lots of games and activities. There is a daily fruit platter that all the kids share, which wouldn't be out of place in a 5 star hotel!
Coco really loves it there with them, she has all the fun of playing but I know she is also receiving love, support, development and praise. Coco is a lazy eater and everyday someone feeds and encourages her to make sure she has enough.
The whole family is on the ball with every detail.
Shelley is also really happy to accommodate if I need to alter pick up times due to work which is a huge relief. She was also a godsend navigating all the funding paperwork.
As I’m quite an anxious person when it comes to my daughter, I feel I have won the childminders jacket with shelley and her family.
Coco frequently mentions them as if they are part of her family, telling us kind things they have done with her. I know she loves it as she can't get up, dressed and out the door quick enough when she knows it's ' a shelley day'!
I have no reservation at all in recommending them should you want exceptional value for money, peace of mind and your child to have amazing fun whilst also learning good manners and behaviours.
On a final note, I have no idea how she does it but the house is always immaculate!!
