Shelley has been our childminder since my daughter was 4 months old, my daughter is now almost 4 years old. Shelley has been a huge part of her life and my family’s life. I chose Shelley as my childcare provider as she is warm, kind and genuinely loves the children in her care.

Shelley attends lots of different groups with her preschool children and ensures that the children are challenged and stimulated to further their learning. Shelley’s home is clean and tidy with many toys and opportunities to further the children’s thinking and learning too. Shelley ensures that parents are updated with their children’s progress through the app, Tapestry. This shows you photos and links to the Early Years Foundation Stage profile, so you can see what your child’s next steps are and how you can support your child’s learning. There is also a daily diary telling what your child has been doing today, again linked to the EYFS profile.

Shelley provides high quality, healthy homemade lunches and dinners. My daughter’s favourite was Chilli con carne - when I try to recreate it at home - my daughter says “it’s not as good as Shelley’s!” 🤦🏻‍♀️
In short, Shelley’s Childminding has helped me build a confident and kind little girl, who is not afraid to take risks and enjoys celebrating her achievements. And has offered me guidance and advice and a safe, happy place for my little girl.
