Our little boy has been with Cheryl since he was 18 months old, leaving this year to make the big step up to pre-school at the age of 3. He has come so far in his development, behaviour and social skills from being with Cheryl - she is fantastic with children, and shows us daily what progress he is making in a carefully handwritten diary as well as doing termly progress updates.

They all get up to so many great activities together and we have loved receiving photos throughout the day of our little boy. Anything we ask she is always responsive and no question is too silly or too small.

She has helped with potty training, eating and also with general advice based on her many years of experience. Her methods of ensuring good behaviour are great and respect the child as well as helping them understand why it's wrong.

Our little boy is always in such a good routine from her and she encourages naps in a supportive and caring way, so that he is still reliably napping at 3.

We will miss Cheryl, and I know Gregory will too, but we hope to stay in touch!
