I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Sheila for the outstanding care she has provided for my son. He is now four years old and has been attending Sheila’s setting since the age of one.
My son has sickle cell disease, which requires careful monitoring and a high standard of care. From the outset, Sheila demonstrated an exceptional understanding of his needs. She followed his care plan rigorously and worked in partnership with me to ensure his wellbeing. Even his specialist consultant was surprised and impressed to note that he had not been unwell for over a year while in Sheila’s care a testament to her vigilance and dedication.
Sheila’s home is immaculately clean, safe, and well organised, creating an environment where children can learn, play, and develop. My son has made excellent progress, learning his alphabet, numbers, and colours well ahead of expectations. Sheila provides a variety of stimulating activities and regular outings including visits to the library, local docks, and farms which have significantly enriched his learning experiences.
Communication with Sheila is consistently excellent. She always provides advance notice of any changes, which is invaluable to me as a full-time working parent. She is accommodating, reliable, and transparent in everything she does.
What sets Sheila apart is her passion for her work and her genuine concern for the children in her care. She not only supports my son’s development and health but has also offered me personal encouragement during challenging times. Her compassion and professionalism have been a source of great reassurance.
I wholeheartedly recommend Sheila as an exceptional childminder who goes above and beyond in every aspect of her role.
