I had met a few childminders which I liked but I still wasn't 100% sure.

That was until I met Shelly, as soon as I walked through the door I thought this was the one!! Her home is lovely and garden fantastic, plenty of room for little ones to run round and have fun.

She has separate areas for children to play, eat and learn. Even though Jessica will only just have turned one when she starts with Shelly, I like the fact that her days will have a bit of structure and routine, as well as having fun.

Jessica is my first and it's going to be difficult going back to work, especially after over a year off, but I know she will be in safe hands with Shelly.
