Shirley feels like a family friend to me and to my children. I know she would be there for all of us under any circumstances. Shirley has been our childminder for over 6 years (though it feels like we've known her forever) covering pre-school care and before/after school care. During my daughter's pre-school time there Shirley always provided a variety of activities out and about all over, at no extra cost, as well as chill out time and craft activities at home. Both of my children love going to Shirley's and certainly feel like it's a second home. I feel confident that they would approach Shirley with any difficulties if I wasn't available and that she would help them through it.

Shirley cares for my boys after school providing a warm and friendly family environment where all of the children are happy and well cared for. My boys love going to Shirley and it is so reassuring to know they are safe and happy. Shirley is always kind, calm and welcoming and I couldn’t ask for better care for my children.
