Shelley is amazing. My daughter started with her in September when she was 11 months old and has settles brilliantly. She loves Shelley and all the children already and is so happy to see them every morning, which has made leaving her that much easier knowing she is safe and happy.They do so much from outdoor play, arts and crafts to playgroups and parks.We have noticed such a positive change since being with Shelley and we cannot thank her enough for all she does for us and our daughter.
Thank you Shelley you are amazing.

My daughter started with Shelley in June and since then she has come on leaps and bounds. As soon as Shelley opens the door, as massive smile goes across my daughters face, so I instantly know shes happy in her company. Shelley is so kind and gentle with her. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a safe space for your child to learn and grow.

It has been nearly a year since my son started with Shelley. And he has been so happy. He absolutely loves going to Shelley's and it is beautiful to see how much he learns every day and most of all the fun he has (the variety of activities, play groups, crafts they do is incredible, they even have a cooking club!). Seriously Shelley is the best childminder ever. The communication has been great since day one. We feel so lucky we found Shelley. To trust someone with your baby is extremely hard but quickly we realised Shelley was the Childminder any parent would dream of. Everyday i drop my son at hers i know he is going to be very well looked after, loved and cared and i will pick him up well fed, clean and with a smile on his face. Couldn't ask for better.

One of the best childminders I have had! I cannot rate her enough. Shelley is so patient, understanding, caring and goes above and beyond. My children absolutely love her and go to her with open arms.

My little boy started here at Shelleyâs childminder end of December and I was extremely nervous as my little boy had only really known lockdown life, and hadnât had much socialising with people outside the family or other children. Shelley was understanding of this and eased my little boy into it, as a parent herself she understood how nervous I was and reassured me by sending photos and messages with how the days were going. Shelley puts in so much effort to make the days there full of activities which are fun but also help the children learn new things, I honestly donât know how she thinks of all these new creative things to do and bonus my little boy will always come back home with something to show me.
My boy settled in so quickly and that is all down to the caring and lovely environment Shelley creates at her home. I honestly am so lucky I found Shelley Childminders as it allows me to carry on with work without having to worry about my little boy as I know heâs having the best day and being looked after extremely well.
My partner and I work shifts and due to the demands at our work we sometimes have to change these around at not the best notice, and Shelley always accommodates which is a massive bonus.
I can not recommend Shelley Childminders enough.

Shelley is a rare find, her attention to detail and care is amazing. My son has been going to her through the summer holidays and he has enjoyed every minute.
He has come home with the activities he has done during his day there and I have been really excited to see what he's been doing. He has absolutely loved his time there.
We will definitely be booking him in with Shelley again.

Our son has been looked after by Shelley since 2017 when our son was 3 years old. It is a school holiday contract.
We have found her to be an excellent childminder in all ways. We feel that our son is well looked after and we have never had any need for concern. We are extremely happy with her approach to child care.
Our son loves going to Shelley so much that he is often asking if he can stay with her forever. We find that Shelley organises a wide range of activities for the kids which are both physically and mentally stimulating, which are fun and have an educational element to it. Some of the activities have included trips to the great outdoors, beautiful walks, cinema, cooking, local parks, crafts, indoor play and many others.
During lock down, Shelley kept in touch with us providing sunflower seeds that my son enjoyed planting and watching them grow. She sent video of her reading a bedtime story to the children and colouring activities. All of these helped my son at home as well as to know that Shelley continued to care even when he was not able to go to her.
In our opinion, Shelley encourages good behaviour in children, teaching them to be kind to others. She shows great care in what food she gives to the children, it has to be health and nutritious and is home made by herself and with the children helping. We have noted how Shelley ensures good hygiene encouraging children to wash their hands before food and after using the toilet. She has demonstrated her commitment to keep the children safe from Covid-19 by practising the correct precautions. Often, Shelley will send us pictures of what the children have been up to and/or samples of the activities they have been involved in. We have found that with Shelley's guidance and supervision our son interacts well and has made friends with the other children Shelley cares for, creating a positive and happy environment. Her communication is open and transparent. Shelley will take her time to explain and make sure we parents are happy too.
We are very happy with the level of care our son receives and will not hesitate to recommend Shelley as a great, reliable and committed childminder. We would say she is one of the best.

Shelley has been looking after my children since they were 3 and 1. They are now almost 8 and 6.
Shelley cares for them as if they are her own children and I couldn't be happier with their experience at Shelley's.
Shelley drops off and collects my children from school and will provide them with a healthy dinner. Healthy snacks and lunch are also provided in the school holidays.
Shelley offers a variety of activities and my children enjoy going to different places. They love that they have the park right on the doorstep too.
They have made some wonderful friendships with the children at Shelley's and I couldn't think of anyone better to look after them.
Thank you Shelley.

Shelley has been our childminder since my daughter was 4 months old, my daughter is now almost 4 years old. Shelley has been a huge part of her life and my familyâs life. I chose Shelley as my childcare provider as she is warm, kind and genuinely loves the children in her care.
Shelley attends lots of different groups with her preschool children and ensures that the children are challenged and stimulated to further their learning. Shelleyâs home is clean and tidy with many toys and opportunities to further the childrenâs thinking and learning too. Shelley ensures that parents are updated with their childrenâs progress through the app, Tapestry. This shows you photos and links to the Early Years Foundation Stage profile, so you can see what your childâs next steps are and how you can support your childâs learning. There is also a daily diary telling what your child has been doing today, again linked to the EYFS profile.
Shelley provides high quality, healthy homemade lunches and dinners. My daughterâs favourite was Chilli con carne - when I try to recreate it at home - my daughter says âitâs not as good as Shelleyâs!â đ¤Śđťââď¸
In short, Shelleyâs Childminding has helped me build a confident and kind little girl, who is not afraid to take risks and enjoys celebrating her achievements. And has offered me guidance and advice and a safe, happy place for my little girl.
