We are the proud parents of a little boy who has been cared for by Sherry for 7 months. He started when he was six months old when I had to return to work on a full time basis. Finding the right childminder is daunting and feels very risky. Until your child starts you can never be sure you've made the right choice.
What we were looking for was someone to look after our son in a safe environment but in a home from home setting. We feel so luck to have actually found Sherry and her family, who do not just look after Oliver but care and nurture him as one of the family. Oliver settled within a day and now only has to be told that he is going to Sherry's for him to run and get his shoes. Oliver has lots of fun, which is evident on a daily basis. We now have a art gallery at home with all the great things he has made and photos of him enjoying lots of different activities. For us the most important thing is that our son is happy and feels secure when we are at work. Oliver beams when he arrives and now we are lucky to get a backward glance in the mornings, he is in too much of a rush to get into the playroom for the morning story. Oliver is also happy at the end of the day ready to tell us about his adventures with his friends.
I recommend Sherry full heartedly as a fantastic childminder and if Oliver could speak /or write then I know that he would too.
