Michelle and her team looked after my daughter who is now 2 I can't say enough to praise her and the team. The setting is safe, clean and has lots of toys and activities inside and out even in the rain she has a covered area for the children so they are never cooped up! They never would be anyway as they take them out most days to toddler groups, the beach , moat park , Leeds castle just to name a few that was what was most appealing as at nursery they are kept within the setting all day and I believe it's important for children to experience the great outdoors and be free! When they are in the setting Michelle chooses an educational topic to work on every month such as numbers, animals etc and makes all the activitys fun whilst learning. They are also given light homework every week for my daughter it was colouring a picture which is great as it prepares them for school. My daughter regularly came home with pictures she had drawn or biscuits and cakes she had baked which I loved as I could see what she had been doing that day. Michelle has an online system which details what the children did that day and uploads photos of your child which is so lovely to see at the end of a busy day at work! Michelle prepare the children for school that's why alot of children in her care don't bother with nursery this is also detailed how well she does this in her ofsted report. Michelle is easy to talk to about your child or just a good chat in general and became a friend who I will miss dearly. She adores the children and works so hard to make every day enjoyable for the children my daughter learned so much her speech improved, her confidence increased along with her interaction with other children. I could go on and on but basically if you want a safe environment where your children will be developed and nurtured whilst making having fun this is definatley the right place she deserves every bit of her " outstanding" rating I can't recommend her enough thank you Michelle
