Child minder for my two daughters - Steph Davies

Cheryl has been caring for both of our daughters since September 2019 and is currently childminding our youngest, Sophia, three times a week. From the outset, Cheryl has treated our children with the utmost love, care and kindness, creating a warm and nurturing environment that has helped them thrive.
One of the most reassuring aspects of Cheryl’s care is the peace of mind she gives us as parents. On mornings when Sophia may be upset at drop-off, we know she is going to a safe and comforting place where she is well looked after. We have never had any concerns regarding safeguarding, and Cheryl consistently maintains a professional and child-centred approach.
Cheryl keeps us updated throughout the day with regular messages and photos, which we find incredibly helpful and reassuring. She provides a balanced and healthy diet, ensuring that Sophia is well-fed with nutritious meals.
Each day is thoughtfully planned and full of variety. Whether it's indoor creative activities or trips outside, there’s always something engaging. Sophia enjoys visits to the park, library, soft play, playgroups, farms, and messy play events, all of which support her development and social skills.
Cheryl has also been very supportive with potty training, offering gentle encouragement and consistency. Her communication with us is excellent, and we particularly appreciate the detailed progress folder she shares every half term. The reports are always accurate and reflective of the children’s true abilities and character, clearly demonstrating how well she knows them – first with Annabelle and now with Sophia.
We are incredibly grateful for the care Cheryl provides and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other families.
