I joined this website and Shelly was the first childminder that I saw. I'm a first time mum and was looking for a childminder to have my little boy who will be seven months old. I read her statement and the reviews and really liked what I read. We exchanged messages first and I already knew I was going to like her.
I was invited to meet Shelly. Straight away I was made to feel welcome. The environment is lovely and so is Woody the dog! There is a great range of activities for the children in different rooms of her home. I particularly like that she cooks with the children and there's story time every day. Her garden is amazing with lots of personal touches. She clearly has a great understanding of how children develop and learn. She emails photos of what the children do with her which I think is a great way of sharing those special moments.
It's very daunting thinking of leaving my little boy whilst I go back to work but Shelly has put my worries at ease. I know Teddy is going to be happy and cared for. Thank you Shelly xxx
