Cheryl F's Reviews

Thank you Cheryl

Cheryl has looked after our youngest daughter Lotta since she was a year old. She was recomended to me by another childminder who had looked after our son previously.

When I went to visit Cheryl in her warm family home I felt comfortable that my child would be part of that household. My husband and I didn't want Lotta to be in a nursary setting as she was so young. We felt we wanted her to have the benefit of 1 person looking after her, rather than a constantly changing group of nursary employees. Therefore I was looking for a professional childminder, with a loving and stable family in the background. Cheryl has forfilled this ideal without doubt.

I have always felt very comfortable and grateful that my child should be part of such a nurturing envoronment. Whilst being with Cheryl, Lotta has also had the benefit of spending time with a lot of positive roll models in Cheryl's own daughters, one of which also provides us with a reliable babysitting service.

Apart from providing this nurturing and stable background Cheryl has been constantly reliable, always flexable and brilliantly bright and cheerful throughout our working relaitionship. I have been hugely impressed with her ability to remain professional and structured, whilst juggling daily tasks like the school run, with having fun with the children. Outings to the Herbert Art Gallery and Kenilworth Castle have been especially appreciated.

She also provides a strong educational start for the children, following the Ofsted guidelines in terms of tasks for the children and informal learning time. The daily dairy she keeps for Lotta has always kept us up to date with what Lotta has been doing whilst we were at work, and will also be a lovely keepsake for Lotta in the future.

My daughter now 4 has just started school and we are missing Cheryl ever so much!
