My daughter Alba has been going to Michelle for two years now and she absolutely loves Michelle and the children who attend.
Michelle provides a lovely, safe and caring setting for the children. She has a beautiful house and the most amazing huge back garden for the children to play and explore. Alba regularly comes home with drawings and arts and crafts, mothers day drawings, Christmas etc. Each week Alba surprises me with something new that Michelle has taught her, from learning different colours, to counting and understanding to be kind and caring.
Alba has learnt an incredible amount since being there. The children regularly attend toddler classes with other registered ofsted childminders and the children they care for so the children are always mixing with other children. This is perfect for building confidence and social skills.
I would highly recommend Michelle. Me and Alba will be very sad when Alba leaves to go to Preschool.
Thank you Michelle.
