Found shell on this website, at short notice, temporary childcare for my 2yr old, whilst nursery shut for summer..
I am so happy with shell's care, I would even consider taking my boy out of nursery full time as, he had such a great time, day trips galore... Even I wanted to go!
Shell provides really personal care to each individual child, in small groups which I think is a nice touch compared to big nursery numbers, in a really friendly family environment, plenty of activities and a great equipped garden, and very happy children.
Highly recommend.

I am SO GLAD I found Shell to look after my very baby girl in November 2015 while I am at university. She adores my little girl and is adored back! She is reliable, informative, understanding, interactive, sympathetic and flexible. My daughters development from 3 months old has been incredible and is testament to Shells involvement in her life, as well as Shells family environment. Her entire family are supportive and friendly and we both feel very comfortable spending time here. I would vehemently recommend Shell to anyone looking for childcare and it is upsetting I will be leaving Oxford in June as I know my daughter would do so well to stay here until pre-school. I trust Shell completely and I am eternally grateful for her providing care for my daughter that I can not fault.
