Shemsy looks after both my two children. My daughter, who is now 3 and a half , has been with Shemsy since she was 8 months old. She loves her time there and is thriving on the support, play and fun she experiences in her care. When the time came for me to return to work after the birth of my son (now 14 months old), there was no-one else that I wanted to look after him!
Shemsy is a wonderfully warm and caring person and puts in so much time and effort to planning activities and outings for the children. The children enjoy lots of outdoor time, and have a lot of opportunity to get involved in crafts. Shemsy takes the time to make a home from home environment and puts in a lot of time to get to know the child on an individual level. Her home has a real happy family feel and my children dote on Shemsy's children, who are a real credit to her!
I cannot recommend her services enough, she is one in a million and i feel very lucky to have found her!

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!

H. has been caring for M. on two days a week since March 2014, when he was 12 months old.
She has gone out of her way to make us both feel comfortable and at home and has been incredibly flexible. It wasn't a problem when I changed my working days, and she has often offered to work on different days if we are ill - despite no contractual obligation to do so.
She has a welcoming home, which is bright, cheerful and spotlessly clean, with lots of books and toys to play with, both inside and in the garden. They make regular trips out to play groups in term time and they also visit an assortment of local parks nearly every day. I'm confident he gets plenty of attention, but also gets to mix with other children of a similar age.
She provides healthy meals and snacks for a reasonable extra cost, and I'm very happy with the choice and variety. She has even persuaded him to eat bananas! His eating and sleeping have improved immensely in his time with her, and she is also great at encouraging his emerging speaking skills, and his enthusiasm for climbing and being outdoors.
Matthew took a long time to settle in, as he had never been cared for by anyone other than his parents previously, but she has worked hard to help him feel happy with her - and we were both equally delighted when he started to genuinely enjoy being with her, and with her family. While he was settling in she kept me updated regularly through the day by text message and email both to reassure me and to check on the best ways to soothe him. She is very open and up front - and warned us before we even signed up of her summer holiday plans. She also keeps me updated with what they have been doing each day, and has sent me some lovely photos.
I'm very happy with her care, and would not hesitate to recommend her.
