Shekel is the most incredible childminder and our daughter adored going from 8 months old. The learning and engagement level is more like a pre-school, and it was so clear how much she was learning and developing so much faster with Shekel. The one to one learning, small group activities, and whiteboard sessions, combined with the extra activities like pony rides and harrbeeps really do make the care level outstanding. Shekel and all the staff are so loving and wonderful, and sometimes when I went to do pick up my baby didn’t want to leave because she loved Shekel so much. All the updates provided were brilliant for seeing her development, and knowing how she had been all day every day was really helpful. We also loved that she celebrated every culture there, and the birthday parties for each child were mind blowing with how special they were. I couldn’t recommend The Learning Tree more, and anyone who manages to get a space for their child will be so lucky. We miss everyone at Learning Tree so much, and are eternally grateful to Shekel for giving our daughter the best care and start to her education.

Our daughter started at The Learning Tree three years ago and we now send our second daughter there. The setting is second to none and Shekel goes above and beyond for her children there, as if they are her own. Shekel and her team give 100% to the children everyday and our girls have absolutely loved it there. It’s hard to get them to leave sometimes! I know there is no place like The Learning Tree and our children truly have had the best start there, we’ll be very sad to leave!

My son has been with Shekel and The Learning Tree for over two years and we are delighted with the care he recieves, he loves it there. :)
Following a previous (larger) nursery setting that really didn't work out for us we were naturally edgy as parents. The Learning Tree was (and is) miles apart from the other options we considered. Our son receives amazing support (evidenced by his development), love, care and attention. As parents we feel well informed and completely comfortable. Our son looks forward everyday to going in and the challenge of getting him to leave at the end of the day is a testiment to his happiness.
Shekel also goes above and beyond to help us navigate the complexities of parenting (we're first time parents) with lots of tips and tricks. She really listens to what is important to us and works with us to work through any challenges we are having as a team. We also love the cultural diversity baked into the activities, something we feel is essential and often overlooked.
We couldn't recommend Shekel and The Learning Tree enough if you are looking for a childcare setting.
