After sending my son to a private nursery, when my daughter came along, I felt she needed to experience a different type of child care environment, a more "home from home" environment, and this is exactly what Shelly provided.

From my first meeting with Shelley, there was an instant bond with them both. Shelly has the natural gift of engagement, friendliness, a bubbly and caring nature and she is honest. She is always very professional, and was 'everything and more', that I was looking for to get that "home from home" experience for Josie.

Josie enjoyed going to be with Shelly, there were no tears, just excitement, perfect. Josie formed a close bond with other children Shelly was caring for, Josie still talks about them now. Shelly has a natural affinity with the children she minds, Josie to this day has never forgotten the time she spent with Shelly, she still talks about her now. I think, as a parent, this says everything.

Shelly gave me thorough feedback verbally and in a written diary after every session. Josie made some wonderful paintings, drawings and lovely Christmas tree decorations, Josie still remembers who she made them with.

Josie spent some of her most informative early years with Shelly, she helped to nurture Josie, physically, cognitively, creatively and socially.
Thank you Shelly, Josie had a wonderful experience in your care, which both of us will always remember.
