Cheryl is such a great childminder. She started looking after my son from around 11 months. He quickly bonded with Cheryl, enjoyed her looking after him. I felt completely at ease and safe that son was being looked after by Cheryl, I was going back to work so she was very reassuring, gave us updates constantly and communicated with us very well. My son also developed so much in her care, he ate really well and started communicating very early, he was also able to play with other children aswell. I highly highly recommend Cheryl, she’s such a lovely caring person, tentative and goes above and beyond when looking after your child. Creates a loving place for children and allows children to develop at their own pace.

Cheryl became the childminder to our daughter around 1 year ago and we have not looked back. She is fantastic at what she does, and our daughter (and my wife and I!) are constantly singing her praises at home. She is a complete professional and undertakes her role with great effectiveness and efficiency. We are regularly kept updated on the activities of our daughter undertake under her care. We are delighted with Cheryl to date and long may that continue. Keep up the great work!

Cheryl used to look after my son from when he was 1,5 years old for two years until he started Nursery at the age of 3,5 years. She got amazing settings as the conservatory room where children spend most of the time looks very impressive, I could easily compare it to mini-nursery with a wide variety of toys, books and also plenty of outdoor activities. My son always was very happy to be spending his days at Cheryl's. Regular and healthy meals with variety of veggies on the side, regardless if my son ate it or not, she would always encourage him. Also a nap time was greatly organised with children sleeping on the sleeping mats, sometimes she would have 4 or 5 children and would manage to make them all sleep, which I was always very impressed about. Lots of arts and crafts, learning numbers, colours (my son by the age of 3 knew all the colours and that is only thank to Cheryl), making pancakes for Pancake Day and celebrating other important events. I would highly recommend Cheryl as a childminder but would bear in mind that her services always been in high demand because of the quality service and children don't tend to leave unless they start school or move to other area.

Cheryl has been looking after my son from when he was 10 months and he is now 2. I have been very happy to leave him in her care as she has been fantastic in helping enhance his development from baby to toddler stage through the different activities she teaches the kids.
She is very good with key things like discipline and helping child quickly learn and pick up on daily activities ,singing rhymes etc. My son enjoys playing with other kids there too.
I would recommend Cheryl to any mother who is looking for the right childminder for their child as she has proved to us that she is very capable.
