Michele is an amazing childminder. She is flexible when it comes to hours and tries to accommodate your needs whenever she can (i.e. extra hours or days) during term time and school holidays. She has made special trips to the school to pick up my kids up after clubs and school parties so that they could attend, going beyond the usual duties of a childminder. When we have had to work late or had problems with our trains Michele has been fantastic covering the kids at short notice. For a working family this "can do approach" is essential and she has been a lifesaver.

My kids love going to her and socialising with the other children within her setting, they always come home happy and excited talking about their day. She has fun activities for the kids to do (including a bouncy castle and slip and slide for the summer) and ensures that all children are involved and included.

My children have SEND needs (ADHD and ADD) which due to Michele's experience she has been able to cater for with ease. Michele is firm but fair and has a no-nonsense approach to childcare which I love. She deals with any issues with good humour and a smile. I would definitely recommend Michele to any parent looking for quality childcare.
