Michele has been childminding my son Alex since January 2019. She looks after him in the school holidays, and when he was attending nursery in Potters Street, she made the necessary arrangement to assist me and really appreciate that.
I am extremely happy with the care Alex is receiving, and the great progress he has made whilst in Michele’s care. Michele’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and Alex has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all this though, it is Michele’s warm and friendly but no nonsense approach which sets her apart from other childminders we have experienced. She is a true gem and treats the kids like her own, which is a great asset for me, which I am away working.
She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise, sand and water play, drawing and sticking, reading and puzzles as well as outings to the park, trips to feed the ducks and walks in the woods.
Michele is a great communicator.
I know that Alex feels happy to be comforted by her and I am confident that she can administer either first aid or medication following all the correct procedures and completing the necessary records to ensure his health and safety.
She will provide healthy snacks/food. I am also aware that Michele ensures good personal hygiene in encouraging all the children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet.
All in all, I am thoroughly happy with the level of care Alex receives and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him develop into a confident and self-assured little boy.
I would absolutely recommend Michele as a great and reliable childminder.
