Shona looked after my son for almost 4 years (from when he was aged 3 to almost 7). During that time we were absolutely delighted with the care he received. Shona and Don provided a very safe, secure, loving and fun environment for our son. He was always very happy to spend time with Shona and Don and formed a close bond with them both. As an only child, I feel he benefited greatly from being looked after in Shona's lovely home environment with other children of different ages, and he is still very close to the children he met in Shona's care. I highly recommend Shona, and won't hesitate to use her again should I need childcare in the future.

Shona is really friendly and caring with lots of experience of child care - my son loves spending time at Shona's.
It's great that my little boy is always kept busy attending local groups, visits to the park or walks with the dog.
Shona frequently sends photos of these activities which is a lovely touch.

Shona and Don looked after our little boy from 11 months old until he was 27months. Their excellent childcare meant it was an extremely difficult decision to leave when I was offered a new job.
The care my little boy received in this home from home environment was absolutely first class. I was extremely nervous going back to work however Shona really allowed me to rest assured that my little one was always in safe hands.
Shona's home is extremely clean and tidy. She is a perfectionist and always finding new and fun activities for the children; I regularly received photos allowing me to feel involved in the days activities.
I had looked at several nurseries prior to finding Shona and was feeling really anxious. I really don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found Shona and Don. They have shown my little boy only love and warmth for the last 18months and I know he has had the best start we could have hoped for.

Shona and her husband Don are amazing.
She looked after my little girl for the last year, 2days a week preschool, full time in the summer holidays and afterschool 4 days a week.
She had an amazing time, lots of activities, plenty of outdoor play and outings and a safe and secure environment.
I have recommended Shona to all my friends and will be happy to use her again when I go back to work after my 2nd child.

Shona looked after our daughter from the age of 1 until she was 3.
We chose to send her to a private childminder as we wanted a better quality of care than our son had received going to a local nursery.
In particular, we were looking for a home-like environment where our daughter would settle quickly and feel happy and comfortable. Shona had been highly recommended by a friend of ours, so it was an easy decision to make.
We were very pleased with the quality of childcare Shona provided. Our daughter settled very quickly and was happy being dropped off at Shona’s house without any tears after only a couple of weeks.
Not only does Shona provide a high quality of care, but she is also very active in playing with the children she looks after and helping them to learn and develop.
Our daughter really enjoyed her time with Shona and developed a strong bond, both with her and the other children in her care.
We’ll always be grateful for the excellent start in life that Shona provided for her in these important early years and if you’re looking for a positive, safe environment where your child will be happy and thrive, then I can’t recommend Shona highly enough.

Shona currently looks after my son 3 days a week, and we couldn't be happier.
My son loves spending time with Shona - she has a warm, calm, caring manner, and my husband and I feel happy and confident leaving him in her care.
Shona is highly recommend - I'm so glad we found her!

Shona has cared for both of my sons since they were six months old and I'm heartbroken that a change in my job has meant I've needed to change childcare.
Our children have been made to feel part of a warm friendly family and are cared for in a beautiful spotless home environment. They are always kept busy with different outings, groups, crafts, library visits and endless toys and games.
She has a wonderful calm way with the children who are all happy and well behaved in her care.
We could not recommend her enough.

My two daughters were looked after by Shona before a third arrived and we no longer needed outside childcare. We found Shona to be a warm, friendly person who quickly develops a lovely relationship with the children she minds. She provides a homely environment whilst also taking the children on regular outings (which they love !!!). She regularly does home crafts, the girls were always thrilled with this to. All in all I felt happy to leave our girls with Shona and they were always happy to go to Shona. They still talk of Shona and if in the future we need a childminder I wouldn't hesitate in making sure it was Shona.

Shona looked after our son Callum in her home in South Queensferry for almost three years. He started at 6 months and was 3 when we moved away. If we hadn't moved, we would have sent our subsequent children to Shona as well.
She creates a wonderfully warm and friendly environment in which children can blossom, learn and have fun. She's keen on regular outings, which our son loved, and she's very skilled at stimulating and indeed educating the children in her care.
In short, she's the type of childminder with whom kids are delighted to go and spend time. We would thoroughly recommend Shona.
