Nanny Sheila is amazing

We found ourselves in urgent need of alternative childcare and was browsing several profiles. Sheila reached out and the next day we went along to meet her. My son warmed to her straight away and I found her to be exactly what I was looking for. 2 days later we started the settling process. My son was with her for 1 year (age 2-3) and during that time he went on different adventures to the library, water park etc. Her sons were also really good with him. He felt like part of the family and would often ask for them.
Nanny Sheila kept me updated with picture of the different activities he was up to both indoor and out door play.
I wish I started with her from when my son 1st went into childcare. She is a safe and loving pair of hands.

great childminder in Borough

Sheila is an excellent childminder. She has looked after both my children for nearly 3 years now, looking after my youngest from about 10 months. She is kind and caring and very affectionate. She is also strict when needed and raises children to be polite. She is very knowledgeable with regards to raising children through her extensive personal experience as both a mother and childminder and also through additional studies she had undertaken which she applied in her work. We supply food for our children and they have up to all 3 meals with Sheila depending on the day/situation.

I consider her to be a friend now after all these years and how close she is to our family. Her own children are also very kind and thoughtful. Our children have been very happy in her care. I have no hesitation in recommending her as a childminder.

Great, Friendly & Caring Childminder

Sheila is a very warm, caring and friendly childminder who treated our daughter as one of her own. Sheila looked after our daughter from the age of 1. Our daughter really loved the time she spent with Nanny Sheila and she often asks of her even now that she has left. Sheila took her to weekly softplay sessions and also on visits to the local library and had a number of indoor activities set up for the kids. We were happy with the care provided and would recommend her childcare services to anyone enquiring.

Amazing Second Time Experience

We've known Sheila since she looked after our son, five years ago, until he started school. When we were expecting our second child, we contacted her again to secure a place, as we knew she was an exceptional childminder and thus could easily be fully booked. Our daughter was with her full time for 18 months, and she has thoroughly enjoyed her days at Nanny. She's learnt lots, played lots and had so much fun, despite the restrictions and uncertainties due to the pandemic. We wouldn't want to repeat what was said in our first review (see below), as our opinion of Sheila has remained very high. We are very grateful to her and her sons for their warm and loving approach - each child becomes part of the family - and she will remain our go-to childcare option whenever needed in the future.

Wonderful!

My son was 11 months when he started with Nanny Sheila. He was initially in a local nursery and hadn’t settled after many weeks but in Sheila ‘s warm and loving care, he settled quickly and has been very happy there for the past 14 months.

Sheila provides a warm, welcoming clean environment with lots of well maintained educational and fun toys to play with. As well as free play, she provides structured activities such as drawing and play dough as well as phonics and reading. She takes the children out regularly to the library, parks and soft play as well as having lots of fun in the garden when weather permits.

My son has become a confident, independent, well mannered little boy under Sheila’s care.

Sheila is very flexible and reliable, allowing us to change our days regularly as well as adding extra days and has not had a day off sick in the whole 14 months. She has a very calm nature and is very easy to talk to, accommodating our changing needs with ease.

I cannot recommend Sheila highly enough. I just wish I had found her sooner.
