My daughter who is now 3 and a half has been going to Shelley since she was 10 months old. Shelley has helped in all aspects of her development. Cannot recommend her enough. Amazing bond with the children.
Great communication, fun and new activities for the children, outdoor play, introducing the children to health food and cooking an all round great environment.

After starting with Shelley in May, our little one has settled in brilliantly and felt like he has been there for a long time. Shelley has been fantastic and our son loves going to her every time. She does a variety of activities which he loves and his development has really progressed as a result.

Shelley took care of my daughter back in 2010 from age 2 until she started nursery. They were always up to educational and fun filled activities. Most importantly to me though Shelley did her best to continue the routine and structure I had at home. We used the same techniques for potty training, time outs and praise. Throughout my daughters time with Shelley she was always happy to go and enjoyed her time there. This meant I could relax at work knowing my daughter was being cared for and stimulated in a safe environment.
I look forward to using these services again for my son
