Shell is The Best!
I didn't know what I was looking for until I found Shell!
My son has been going to Shell's a couple of days a week for almost a year and a half now. When he started (at just over a year old), he struggled a LOT with separation anxiety - a mixture of his natural temperament and having been a baby during COVID. Shell was SO patient, gentle and loving with him, and though it took a while for him to settle, I firmly believe if she couldn't have settled him then no one could! She respects and supports his needs and emotions completely, and gives him independence in appropriate ways. He now absolutely loves going and gets involved in everything! And based on the pictures and stories, he gets up to plenty of different activities! He is ALWAYS smiling or giggling when I come to pick him up and see him through the window.
Shell has such a joyful personality, a lovely spacious home and I can't imagine using anyone else!
