My little boy has been with Cheryl for nearly a year (he has been with her since he was only 4 mths old) and is with her 3 full days per week. When looking for a Childminder, we met several before Cheryl but were being indecisive but once we met her, we had absolutely no doubt that she 'was the one' and snapped her up quickly and we feel so grateful and blessed that we found her.

He settled in with her much quicker than I ever imagined and he absolutely loves her and her family - he is looked after as if he is one of the family and when I bring him there in the mornings, his face lights up without fail each and every time he see's Cheryl. He also comes home a happy boy every day and really enjoys his time there.

Cheryl keeps us up to date every day with lovely photos and activities via Whatsapp which is so lovely so we get to see all the cool fun and educational things that he gets up when he is there and we get a diary log at the end of every day which details what he has eaten, nappy situations and what he has been up to throughout the day - we love reading this when we get home after picking him up! His physical, emotional and mental development are all advanced for his age and I definitely credit a lot of that to his time with Cheryl.

Have a read of her Ofsted report which is rated outstanding - I can 100% confirm that her report is truly reflective of her and her childminding practices and procedures and she is definitely worthy of the highest outstanding grade.

Cheryl is friendly, reliable, knowledgeable, trustworthy and she is a superb childminder. We wouldn't change her for the world!
