My wife Leanne and I found Michelle through this site.
Our son Oliver went with her aged 10 months old in October 2010 when my wife went back to work after maternity leave.

Michelle was the first childminder we 'visited/veted' and she was the last. Instantly we knew that she was trustworthy, caring, friendly, professional and 'the one' as leaving your child with someone who is a complete stranger is a dawnting thing I think.

Oliver was a little clingy to his mum and found it difficult to let go of her but Michelle was so patient, caring and understanding. Like the other review mentions, Oliver would always come home with things Michelle aka Mimi had made with her for mummy and daddy and it was such a piece of mind knowing that whilst we were at work Oliver was safe and having fun with Michelle.

I particularly liked (and looked forward to!) reading up on his day/ what he got up to/developments etc in the 'contact diary' that Michelle would fill in every day and Oliver would come home with. Oliver also had food intolerances that Michelle was more than happy and capable to accommodate.

If we hadn't have moved county then we would still be using Michelle!
