Had to find childcare last minute due to jury service and she messaged back to quickly. Our son struggled to settle into a community space childminders and has trived since being with Shama. She's very clean and tidy and always successfully gets him to eat and is so patient with him too especially as we're waiting to get him diagnosed for SEN and a medical condition she's never treated us any differently

"Mrs. Shama is an exceptional caregiver. Her home is always clean and provides a calm, peaceful environment. She has extensive experience with children, which is so reassuring for me as this is my baby's first experience in someone else's care. I feel extremely confident leaving my baby with her, knowing she is in loving and careful hands. Mrs. Shama is always attentive and kind. care and love."
Thank you Mrs Shama.
