Cheryl is currently looking after our 14 month old daughter, 5 days a week.

When we initially contacted Cheryl in early 2013, we found her warm, friendly and approachable, with an empathetic and realistic understanding of how hard (emotionally and logistically) it can be to find someone to care for your child when returning to work.

Settling in sessions were arranged for our daughter (who was four and a half months at the time) to enable her to get to know Cheryl and the other minded children. The first time leaving our daughter with Cheryl was daunting and heartbreaking, but regular texts and updates throughout the morning put us very much at ease!

Cheryl finds numerous activities and outings for all children in her care, completing a daily journal which is filled with a record of the day, and often has a homemade surprise inside (which is always lovely)

We have also relied upon Cheryl's daughter for babysitting, and we would highly recommend her services to give you a rare parents night off.

When we encountered a change in personal circumstances, Cheryl has been flexible, reliable and understanding and we will always be grateful for this, and we know that we can approach her to ask any questions regarding our daughters care with an honest answer formed from years of experience.

Overall, a child in Cheryl's care is extremely well looked after and a part of her extended family, we hope that Cheryl will care for our further children in the future as we can not imagine a better place for them to spend their days.
