Michelle has been my 6 year old daughter’s childminder for 5 years, and from the very beginning Michelle instilled in me confidence and trust that I did not receive from the other childminders that I interviewed. Michelle provides a warm, safe and stimulating environment for Carla, and a wealth of activities that I know have had a direct impact on her early years development, namely painting, drawing, sticking, making things, jigsaws, dressing up etc. In the summer months Carla enjoys playing in Michelle’s garden on the trampoline, and paddling in the pool. Michelle also takes the children to events in the nearby park. Michelle is a fantastic childminder and I recommend her highly.
