An Absolutely Wonderful Childminder
Sheridan looked after our girls for almost four years and we are so grateful for everything she has done. Each week brings a different activity at Sheridan's house. When they were able to, the girls would go on days out to the farm, they would go to the allotment that Sheridan shares with other local childminders to look after and pick the fruits & vegetables (we even had some brought home for our dinner!). Library visits, ballet classes, fun at the local playgrounds/feeding the ducks. They get involved with Peppa Pigs Muddy Puddle Walks and other Children In Need challenges etc. Days at home are spent doing activities that Sheridan has planned and the children truly enjoy. Whether its baking, crafting, cutting and sticking, drawing or matching activities, she does it all with a focus on early years learning which I believe has given our girls a huge headstart in their education.
The girls would always run into the house in the mornings, so it was very clear that that they settled in so well and so quickly. Sheridan's house became a home away from home and Sheridan and Kieran became family to us too. The girl's best interests were always at the forefront of Sheridan's mind as well as their happiness and safety. They would have home cooked meals for lunch and always ate well! (Sheridan has the magic touch when it comes to getting them to eat their vegetables and even getting them to take naps!) Her garden is fully kitted out with a swing and slide as well as a mud kitchen and ride on toys!
We felt so reassured that the girls were in a safe and loving environment whilst we were at work with photos & videos sent to us daily of what they were doing and they always had the biggest smiles on their faces.
The only reason for us leaving is due to relocating to Scotland but we feel so very fortunate to have had Sheridan in our lives. We couldn't have asked for a more caring, loving, organised, supportive and just overall fantastic childminder and we are so sad to have to go & not be able to take Sheridan with us!
Thank you so much for everything, Sheridan x
