Sheila has been looking after Jamie for 13 months now. He was always a shy baby who wouldn't go to just anyone - but on our first meeting with Sheila, Jamie was sitting with her and felt right at home straight away - that's when we knew!

Since then, it has only got better. Sheila takes such great care of him, he eats so well and has experienced so much. They go to the park regularly, as well as to toddler sessions and play groups - this has really helped with Jamie's confidence!

Sheila has exactly what we were looking for in a childminder, The communication between us is fantastic, Sheila has put together books for each of the children there and she updates it each day to let us know what Jamie has done for the day, what time he has slept and what he's eaten - we still enjoy reading it to this day!

Sheila's daughter (5) is absolutely brilliant with the children, Jamie looks forward to seeing her before and after school each day.

My husband and I cannot recommend Sheila highly enough. Finding a childminder for Jamie was one of the hardest things we had to do as it's really daunting. From day one Sheila made us feel just as relaxed as Jamie and sent videos and pictures of Jamie playing and laughing - this made returning to work so much easier!

Sheila, we can't thank you enough for everything... We look forward to many more months/years with you!
