My baby is two years, old with sickle cell anaemia. Sheila, have been looking after him for over a year now, and he is never been unwell. My son is very happy and active. The environment is calm, welcoming, warm, spotless, clean. The food just like secondary school dinners, is delicious. I can highly recommend this amazing, God-fearing, great personality lady to everyone. She is excellent in communication, she played a massive role in my recovery from my depression. My baby is safe, and hardly has a runny nose. I am forever grateful finding this lady on this site.
Note: she has no clue that I am doing this review. I can keep going, if I have all day.

Sheila looked after my daughter for over two years. It took a while for my daughter to settle but Sheila was very patient and displayed such care towards her. My daughter loved going there, Sheila's setting was very welcoming and she loved playing with the other children. Not only did Sheila care for my daughter's well being, she also sought to ensure she received a great educational experience. If your looking for a childminder who is caring, patient and reliable - Sheila is definitely the person for you!

My son was looked after by Sheila for over a year. She is amazing with so much heart and caring mindset. It was wonderful to see my son get excited about going to her setting.
Sheila really makes an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way.
The setting is a safe, fun, and loving environment and we’re very thankful to Sheila for her outstanding work.

I cannot speak more highly of Sheila. She took such amazing care of my youngest child. She goes above and beyond and her setting is a child’s paradise. The warm, stable environment and love she provided really helped prepare my daughter for starting school and we will certainly be keeping in touch!
