My Summary
About Me
“Full until further notice” Hello Parents! My name is Shanice Doyle, I’m a Forest school Teacher turned Childminder based in Trumpington, Cambridge. I loved being a Preschool Teacher/ room Leader but chose to become a Childminder when my Daughter was born in 2019, and I’ve never looked back. I’ve found that the transferable skills I gained working at various nurseries has lead to me be able to create a wonderful growing and learning environment for the children I currently take care of. I am a patient, fun and experienced teacher who loves getting messy, singing songs and due to my forest school background I take any chance I get to playing outside with the children. I am available Monday to Friday please message for Availability.
My Experience

My DBS, Safeguarding and First Aid training is all up to date. I have experience caring for newborns right up to 15 year olds. I also have personal experience with children with Autism and those that require additional needs support.

My daughter was looked after by Shanice for around 18 months. She absolutely loved going to Shanice, she made good friends with her daughter who was the same age which was lovely. Shanice was always accommodating to whatever my daughter needed. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder.

She is so warm and caring to my little one. My daughter has always struggled with nursery and always cried when i would leave her there but since she started with Shanice within a couple off days she happily went to her and no more tears when id leave her. Made me feel so at ease leaving my baby with her. We are moving at the end off the month and i really wish i could take Shanice with me shes so lovely, caring and supportive i highly recommend she is just wonderful and we will miss her dearly.

Shanice has been looking after our nearly two year old daughter for a year now and we could not be happier with the care she provides. I trusted her immediately because of her warmth, friendliness and impressive qualifications /expertise. Shanice has her own two year old daughter who is an extremely happy, intelligent and sociable child so I know that Shanice is an amazing mother who gives the same care and attention to all the children she looks after.
Shanice provides varied and stimulating activities. Our daughter loves her time with her and always has a lot of fun. Her confidence has grown, and she is quite advanced with her play and speech, which we greatly attribute to Shanice's carefully thought-out activities and attention. Shanice sees fresh air and outdoor play as very important which is great. She also makes healthy but appealing snacks and meals and our daughter eats very well there. Shanice gives daily reports at the end of the day and also sends lovely photos of our daughter having fun which is always lovely. We could not recommend her highly enough and feel extremely lucky to have found her.

Shanice has cared for our son three days per week since he was 7 months old; he is now 21 months old. We are very fortunate to have found her. She has provided a lovely home away from home environment for our little boy.
Our son happily walks into Shanice’s home in a morning, giving us piece of mind. We have no doubt that he enjoys spending time with Shanice, her daughter and the other children. He is always entertained with lots of toys and activities, and it sounds like he really enjoys the Spanish lessons on Wednesdays.
Shanice has greatly contributed to our son’s development. We have really appreciated her advice in helping him to reach milestones, such as crawling, walking, and saying his first words. It has been lovely to receive photographs of our son having new experiences and acquiring new skills.
Shanice has shown a lot of patience. She has allowed our son to make a lot of mess at meal times so that he can learn to feed himself. There have been days where our son has been unsettled due to teething and has required a lot of attention. Shanice has always comforted him very well.
The communication is excellent; Shanice responds quickly to WhatsApp messages. We receive feedback on our son’s day at time of pick up or via a daily care sheet, including: meals and snacks, activities and nappy changes. Shanice offers a range of healthy meals and snacks throughout the day which our son seems to enjoy. She always makes an effort to take the children outside to the local park, which our son loves :).
We highly recommend Shanice! Any child would be very lucky to have her care.
