Below are the reviews that Anna has written.
Shemsy looked after all three of my children from the age of nine months until they started school. She is a wonderfully caring, supportive, and knowledgeable childminder who provides a wide variety of fun and educational activities every day.
Compared to a nursery setting, Shemsy is able to be far more flexible in tailoring her plans and activities to the individual needs of each child. She thoughtfully designs experiences that support their development and help them grow their skills. The smaller group size means the children receive much more care and attention, and my children truly thrived in her care.
Shemsy regularly attends playgroups and organises activities with other childminders, ensuring the children are comfortable and confident in larger group settings. Because of this, all of my children transitioned to school with ease. I’m often told by teachers and other caregivers how mature, responsible, and quietly confident my children are — and I credit this to their time in Shemsy’s care and the real-world learning and experiences she gently introduced them to.
Shemsy’s household is warm and loving, and my children always felt very comfortable there. She shares her home with her three older children, who are a real asset — wonderful role models both in their behaviour and achievements. Although they are older now and often busy with their own lives, they always make time to interact with the younger children, and mine absolutely adore them.
Overall, I would recommend Shemsy without hesitation. She has given my children the very best start in life and has always been reliable, communicative, and supportive to me as a parent. Choosing the right childcare is such an important and difficult decision, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found Shemsy — I truly couldn’t have asked for more.
