I happen to contact Cheryl when I needed a nanny for one week for my 2 year old daughter, as her regular childminder was on holiday.
This was a last minute request and Cheryl was quite accommodative and agreed to come to my place with her 1 year old son to take care of my daughter. I was a little nervous initially as I was not sure how my daughter would adjust with her. Cheryl was amazing at keeping her engaged, singing, reading and playing together.
My daughter adjusted well with her and she also loved playing with her son who is just adorable.
We also happen to meet Cheryl's older son one of the days and he is amazing with kids in general. My daughter loved playing with him and he was constantly trying to keep her engaged.
They are such an amazing warm natured family and I highly recommend Cheryl.

I am a mum to a 3 year old son and I was really nervous about leaving my son with a childminder but during the holidays I desperately needed childcare.
I found Cheryl on childcare.co.uk and arranged a meeting with her, along with my son.
I immediately felt very comfortable with her.
She is so easy to talk to and my son absolutely loves being with her, rather than going to nursery.
Her home is very homely and child safe.A home away from home experience indeed.
She has two lovely kids that get along beautifully with my son.
She even offers a pick up service which I find very useful.
My son already looks forward to the holidays to spend more time with her.
She is also really flexible which is quite helpful.
I will definitely recommend Cheryl and she will be my childminder for the foreseeable future.
I am very pleased with her
