Testimonials

'First time meeting Shirley I knew she will be the perfect carer for my boy at the time my son was still breastfed and he was a mummies boy wouldn't go to anyone but something about Shirley my son really connected with her and he felt warmth and safe, I cannot thank Shirley and her family for the care they provide for my boy Shirley goes beyond, out and about always doing activities, playgroups, park, outings, crafts, she provides a warm safe environment for the children she has animals which the children help to feed. Shirley is a Superwoman always happy and smiling my son loves her and we all do to, Shirley will always be special to us not only because of all her hard work, time and love she puts into my son but because they share the same birthday, Thank you again Shirley from the bottom of our hearts you are truly a blessing!!'

My name is Ileena O’Donnell and I am writing this testimonial about Shirley Clayton, I have had my daughter Bella in Shirley’s care since she was 7 months old, she will be four in September coming up. Shirley is amazing, she treats and cares for Bella like she is her own, she also works with me and my forever changing work rosters which I am very thankful about.

Bella has come so far and learnt just as much during her time there, and we love all the picture’s and all the special crafts from cards to even making Christmas baubles for our Christmas tree.

We all love Shirley very much

I am writing this testimonial about Shirley Clayton, Who I have had the pleasure of knowing for almost the past two years while she has been my daughter’s carer? Prior to Kyah starting with Shirley Kyah was shy and anxious little girl, Kyah had a lot of changes at home and I was worried this new change of carer would affect her, Shirley gets all the kids involved in cooking, arts and crafts as well as getting all the kids playing together   But thanks to Shirley, Kyah has grown into a bright confident young girl. In conclusion Shirley is excellent at her job, loving and caring, very attentive, dependable, and very flexible, it has been a pleasure knowing my daughter has been in a safe, learning, loving environment. Kind Regards
