We placed our second child with Michelle, just before his first birthday. This was an easy decision for us after having such an amazing experience with Michelle, first time around with our first child. Handing your child over doesn’t get easier however Michelle was amazing and helped our son quickly settle. There were lots of tears to begin with but Michelle was great and now he runs to the door and can’t wait to go off on adventures with Michelle and the other children in her care.
Michelle provides lots of rich activities and they are always off on adventures. My son attends a variety of toddler groups, is taken regularly on outings to the park as well as soft play. We feel the varied activities have enabled him to develop his gross and fine motor skills as well as providing a variety of opportunities for my son to socialise with a wide range of children in different settings which has really supported his communication and social skills.
Our communication with Michelle is second to none, she regularly updates us with development milestones and shares pictures so we know how he is getting on.
Michelle has greatly supported us as a family and always goes above and beyond to help us out if we are a bit stuck. Michelle shows so much care and love for our son, she feels like a big part of our family. She looks after our son like one of her own and I am forever grateful. Our son is safe, happy and developing well in her care, he adores Michelle and her family.

Amazing childcare and support.
Very accommodating and flexible as well which is great for a working parent.
They always go out to places and the park in the local area as well.

Michelle is the most kind, nurturing, supportive and caring childminder out there. She really is an extension of our own family.
Being first time parents, it was a really difficult decision choosing the right childcare for our son. Myself and my husband were really apprehensive about the process initially. However after meeting Michelle on the first day, she instantly put us at ease. What cemented our decision, is that Michelle has an extensive teaching and early years knowledge which was really important to us.
We knew she would provide the best possible care for our son and we weren’t wrong. She has cared for our son now for over 2 years, throughout this time he has developed into a happy, polite, bright and sociable little boy.
Michelle always provides rich learning opportunities and enrichment activities for him. In addition to this, he has attended numerous toddler groups, play dates with other child minders, trips and numerous park visits. This has supported our son’s development and meant he has been able to form strong friendships with other children of a similar age which has been so important during Covid.
Michelle adores our son and she treats him like one of her own. He always goes to Michelle with a smile on his face and spring in his step and often doesn’t want to come home. She always goes above and beyond for us as a family and we are truly grateful for the support she has given us.
I would highly recommend Michelle, she is simply the best and we can’t thank her enough for what she has done for our little boy.

Leaving our daughter Maisie with a childminder at 7 months left me feeling so nervous and overwhelmed. How do you know who the right person is? Within minutes of meeting Michelle and her beautiful family and home, we knew immediately that she was the right person to help look after our daughter.
Maisie from the first day has smiled and laughed with sheer joy and excitement and every evening we pick her up she has the biggest smile and has had the loveliest day. Some days she doesn’t want to leave!!
Michelle has been an absolute saviour and has helped my husband and I out on so many occasions and goes above and beyond for us, and we cannot be more thankful.
I know that Maisie is treated like one of Michelle’s own children. Her children are so kind and caring and treat her with such patience and love. Maisie has the most wonderful role models to look up to and we are so lucky.
I honestly could not recommend Michelle enough. She is everything and more that you will need in a childminder. Her services and support are exceptional.

Our daughter started going to MIchelle after a friend recommended her. Our daughter had previously been in another childcare setting and had been heartbreakingly unhappy there. My daughter now skips out of the door to see Michelle and has a wonderful time with her. This has been transformational for our family, and taken such a weight off our minds. Michelle is warm and caring and deeply supportive and really understands children and what they need. Her communication is excellent and I have found her personally to be a huge support. She has really given me confidence as a parent and rebuilt our daughters confidence too. We are so happy we found Michelle and couldn't recommend her highly enough.

We absolutely couldn't be happier with Michelle and the setting she provides for our daughter. After considering our options for childcare in the area, including nurseries, I know that we have made the best choice and we are so lucky to have Michelle on our doorstep. Our daughter has been with Michelle since she was 15 months old when she wouldn't leave my side. She settled very quickly into her days there and in that time we have seen her blossom into a confident, happy and chatty little lady. She is always happy to see Michelle in the mornings and Michelle is always brilliant at keeping us updated on her days with her, through photos during the day and chats at the end of the day. They always have busy days, visiting toddler groups and the parks around the area. Our daughter loves Michelle, her family and all the other children she spends the day with there and we couldn't be happier.

This is the second child we've placed with Michelle and I really wouldn't use anyone else. Theodore has been with Michelle since he was 5 months old and she really does treat him as if he was one of her own. He's always so happy and content and she's always keeping him busy with various enrichment toys or trips out to various groups.
We're moving out of the area soon, but we love Michelle so much, we're more than happy to do the daily journey so Theodore gets to stay with her.
She's amazing and Theodore is a lucky boy to have such an amazing child minder.

My 2 girls (4 and 7) have been really happy with Michelle. They've been with her one afternoon a week for the last 1.5 years. They genuinely look forward to their time there. They enjoy playing with friends there, the pets and the trampoline! Michelle has been flexible and caring. I would thoroughly recommend her.

Michelle has been our childminder for 2 years now and we couldn't be happier with the care that our children receive.
Michelle is reliable, kind, fair and fun - my children are always happy to be going to her and they miss her during the school holidays.
As well as being wonderful with the children, Michelle is great at communicating with parents.
We feel really lucky to have Michelle as our childminder and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
