Michelle is a truly wonderful childminder! Our 15-month old daughter Maia settled in with her amazingly quickly. While we struggle for Maia to take proper naps, Michelle worked her magic and got her to sleep up to 2.5 hours, within the first week of Maia being in her care! Maia finds it hard to see her parents leave, but Michelle always knows what to do to distract her and cheer her up, and Maia is settled even before I have left the house! Maia has also been eating much better than she used to at home. Michelle takes the children to play groups and the park, and invents different toys and games for them to play with at her home, so that they get different types of stimulation and learning activities all the time. She also sends the children home with a daily report, so that we know what they've been up to. Michelle is honestly the best childminder I've met and we're very sad to be moving to the other side of town. I recommend her in the strongest possible terms!
