My Summary
About Me
Mad Kidz is an OFSTED registered childminders in Hullbridge.
We open from 7.30am-5.30pm Monday to Friday.
We take children from birth, with spaces for full or term time only, holiday club, before and after school care to riverside primary school only. We accept taxfree vouchers
and all funding including the extended 30 hours funding
We are in a lovely location only a 15 min walk to the local nature reserve to feed the swans, watch the boats on the river or have a stroll through the woods. Along with the library and church for our dancing and acro located just up the road. We do have our mini bus to branch out further for little trips.
At Mad Kidz we have an amazing area situated at the rear of the house. We have two main large cabins which the children have access to and a wide range of resources to follow their own choices. We also set activities up following the children’s interests, next steps and EYFS guidelines. Phonics is a main part of our curriculum, which we teach in a wide range of fun ways including a visit from robot Reg once a week. There is an open space in one of the cabins to do our indoor physical activities like brain breaks, dancing and yoga. There is a smaller cabin that we do a lot of our arts and crafts in, along with a separate sleep room. Between these rooms we have an open outdoor space equipped with climbing frame, trampoline, slide and a soft play area, which the children have access to daily, come rain or shine.

I have been using michelle since around June & I must say there's not many childminders that I trust to look after m son how I would and give him the attention I'd like him to have, he absolutely loves auntie shell and the kidz, he has learnt so much since being there, michelle has really stood in when needed and i feel very at ease. my son absolutely loves coming to see auntie shell and i don't know where i would be without her! Highly recommended, easy going nothing is ever a problem even if i have been stuck she has kindly dropped him off, such a god send for busy parents. Thankyou ever so much auntie shell- and that's not me saying it that's him!

my 2 boys love going to the after school kids club with her in the school holidays and after school. Michelle is so good with the children i never have any worries about leaving them with her.
she has always been very flexible with the hours and days i need her and i have always found her rates extremely competitive.

Great atmosphere for children to learn and play. Constructive ‘learning’ and ‘play’ time to build children’s confidence and social skills. Michelle is always on hand for advice or problem solving and the ‘pick up’ and ‘drop off’ option is a gods send with busy mums and dads.
