My daughter has been going to Shemsy for three years since she was 8 months old. Shemsy is a kind, caring, professional childminder with an Outstanding Ofsted rating. Her house is immaculate with wonderful toys and a lovely garden for the children to play in. My daughter returns home clean, happy and well looked after every day she is with her.

She takes the children out every day and they do so many fun and educational activities like singing, playgroups, going to museums, parks, playgrounds, even the allotment and supermarket where they do things like weigh products or find items on a list.

Her family are wonderful, her own children are incredibly polite and so good with the children in her care. The older children play so nicely with the younger ones and are always kind and considerate towards them.

She always goes over and above in everything she does to provide a nurturing environment for the children. She speaks several languages and finds nice ways to bring the children's home languages and cultures into her care. I cannot recommend her service highly enough!
