I approached Sheila just after Emma was born in July 2012 and Sheila started taking care of Emma in December when she was 5 months old. Sheila is absolutely lovely, caring and she is really patient with children. She listens to their needs and does many activities indoors and outdoors such as painting, reading, singing, mornings at library, afternoons at soft play, walks in the park. I've seen Emma progressing a lot around Sheila in terms of motricity & language and she learned very good manners. Sheila is also fantastic with parents - keeping notes of what Emma is doing during the day and also very flexible in terms of hours (in case of long hours at the office or business trips). Her children are very friendly and kind towards Emma playing with her every morning and evening. Sheila pays attention to health and safety and I've always feel very confident to leave Emma at her place. Really easy to talk to and warm-hearted Sheila is now part of the family. Emma is now 3 and half year old and Sheila is still looking after her during the day. Emma loves Sheila who she calls "Nanny" and always goes to her place with a big smile (and never wants to leave!).
Chloe is not only a brilliant childminder but an amazing person with a great heart. She looked after my son from the age of 13 months to his 4th birthday. I wish my son's school was near Chloe's house as I would have loved her to continue looking after him after school days. Oscar absolutely loves her and keeps talking about Chloe and her family. We are lucky to live locally so we can continue seeing each other from time to time.
Chloe is loving, caring and fun with babies and young children. She offers a variety of activities and her home is a safe setting to allow all children to develop their physical, language, cognitive, emotional, and social skills. She's got an fantastic and safe garden and lots of toys! Her extended family is very welcoming and lovely with all the children she looks after. She offers healthy and varied meals to children.
She establishes great bond with parents, she does a great job feeding back information about daily activities and we loved her open communication policy and her honesty.
I could not recommend Chloe enough if you are looking for a childminder to look after your little one - she is fantastic!
