Hello my name is Michelle I am a qualified Ofsted registered childminder I work along side my partner / assistant Natalie, we are friendly, flexible and reliable. We are based in the M22 area .

We provide a smoke free, warm caring, friendly and clean environment for your child to learn and develop their skills using the 7 areas of learning as set out by Ofsted.

For more information you can contact me. If you send me your email I can send you my welcome pack.

My eldest son attended Shells stars for a year. And I'm looking to start my youngest son early next year. My son started a shy little boy, and by the time he left to start school, he came out of his shell so much. As a first time mum I didn't feel comfortable leaving my son with anyone, but as soon as I went round for the settling in session they made me and my son feel so welcome and answered all my questions and reassured me.
He is a fussy eater and they always went out of their way to satisfy him. They even helped me out one day and had my youngest son who at the time was only 3 months old, and they were fantastic.
They helped me so much with my sons potty training and he came on loads, I couldn't have done it without him.
I loved the fact he always got excited to go, and always came out the happiest little boy.
I can not recommend Michelle and Natalie enough.
Two of the most loveliest and caring women I know and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my children, so for that I Thankyou both so much I couldn't of done it without you both xx

Aww thank you so much hun, you were both a pleasure to work with and we miss him so much and can’t wait to see you all again next year xx
Me and my partner looked at a few nursery’s for our 2 year old son and opted for shells stars, a decision we will never look back on! Our sons talking has come on so much, after only one week he was saying shell and nat, the environment he is in is great, Michelle and Natalie do so much with him and even keep you updated on everything, my son loves his food with them also, when we drop him he can’t get on fast enough, he absolutely loves it, thank you Michelle and Natalie for doing what you’s do best, always appreciated…..

Aww thank you so much, he’s such a pleasure to work with and makes our day x
At first I was very nervous sending my daughter to any setting but I couldn’t thank these two amazing women enough for everything they’ve done with my Daughter, they helped her settle in at her own pace and made her feel right at home.
the bond she’s made with them and the children on the setting is magical.
Watching her grow over the past year thanks to these two has been special.

Aww thank you .That means a lot!!! Xx
My daughter started here in April due to her nursery closing and I wish I’d know of Shelle’s stars from the start. They are absolutely amazing. My daughter goes in happy and comes home happy. As a single parent I don’t leave her with many people but I’m happy to leave her here. She eats food here that she wouldn’t at home and is constantly talking about then when we’re at home. I would definitely recommend these lovely ladies.

Thank you hun, she’s settled really well and made some forever friends x
My little girl has been with Michelle & Nat since January and she absolutely adores the both of them. My girl learns new things everyday, she comes home saying new words, doing new things. She even took her first steps with Shell & Nat. I couldn’t wish for better people to look after my baby, I feel at ease leaving her. I honestly wouldn’t recommend anyone else!! They are both amazing!
