Sheridan has looked after two of my children-my youngest for four years-until they started school. In the time they were in Sheridan's care, I was never in any doubt that they were being well cared for in a loving and safe environment. She arranged a wide range of activities for the children -which included arts/crafts, organised groups such as baby ballet, visits to farms or parks and even visits to see horses (my youngest has an obsession with horses -Sheridan did her utmost to nurture this love) to name but a few. The daily diary, photos/videos and emails were fantastic for keeping me in the 'loop' about what had been done, eaten, general development, even little (often numerous) conversations/stories etc; it now means that I have a lovely record of my children's progress from the age of 1-5 years. My youngest has just started school and has settled in very well; Sheridan had a huge part in preparing him socially and emotionally for this. She is an amazing childminder (who didn't have any sick days) and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to others.
