My 2 year old daughter has been going to Cheryl's for over a year now and she absolutely loves Cheryl.

We originally had another childminder, but suddenly had to find another one when ours had to unexpectedly stop childminding. Despite not having all the days available that we needed at the time, we decided to go with Cheryl for the days she did have and she assisted us with finding a temporary alternative for the one day she was full until a space became available. This was so lovely of Cheryl to help accommodate us.

From the start I could tell it was the right setting for my daughter. She seemed happy from our first meeting and settled in quickly playing with the other children.

Cheryl does so much with the children, doing something with them pretty much every day going to soft plays, garden centres, nature trails and so much more. They also visit a toddler group twice a week with other childminders, so they do lots of messy play and other activities in a wider setting. This gives a lovely mix of a personal homely setting and more of a playgroup setting, interacting with other kids. As a mum that did lots of activities and classes with my daughter on maternity leave, I knew I wanted someone that would do similar activities with her and Cheryl does this perfectly.

The childmindees also really do become part of the family. Her two boys are so good with all the kids too, which is so lovely to see. My daughter loves them both so much.

We've been so happy we found Cheryl. She's so easy to talk to and she works with us as parents through any challenges. I highly recommend Cheryl.
