Shells S's Reviews

Truly the best.

My eldest son attended Shells stars for a year. And I'm looking to start my youngest son early next year. My son started a shy little boy, and by the time he left to start school, he came out of his shell so much. As a first time mum I didn't feel comfortable leaving my son with anyone, but as soon as I went round for the settling in session they made me and my son feel so welcome and answered all my questions and reassured me.
He is a fussy eater and they always went out of their way to satisfy him. They even helped me out one day and had my youngest son who at the time was only 3 months old, and they were fantastic.
They helped me so much with my sons potty training and he came on loads, I couldn't have done it without him.
I loved the fact he always got excited to go, and always came out the happiest little boy.
I can not recommend Michelle and Natalie enough.
Two of the most loveliest and caring women I know and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my children, so for that I Thankyou both so much I couldn't of done it without you both xx

Aww thank you so much hun, you were both a pleasure to work with and we miss him so much and can’t wait to see you all again next year xx

The best!

Me and my partner looked at a few nursery’s for our 2 year old son and opted for shells stars, a decision we will never look back on! Our sons talking has come on so much, after only one week he was saying shell and nat, the environment he is in is great, Michelle and Natalie do so much with him and even keep you updated on everything, my son loves his food with them also, when we drop him he can’t get on fast enough, he absolutely loves it, thank you Michelle and Natalie for doing what you’s do best, always appreciated…..

Aww thank you so much, he’s such a pleasure to work with and makes our day x

Both truly amazing.

At first I was very nervous sending my daughter to any setting but I couldn’t thank these two amazing women enough for everything they’ve done with my Daughter, they helped her settle in at her own pace and made her feel right at home.
the bond she’s made with them and the children on the setting is magical.
Watching her grow over the past year thanks to these two has been special.

Aww thank you .That means a lot!!! Xx

Excellent ladies

My daughter started here in April due to her nursery closing and I wish I’d know of Shelle’s stars from the start. They are absolutely amazing. My daughter goes in happy and comes home happy. As a single parent I don’t leave her with many people but I’m happy to leave her here. She eats food here that she wouldn’t at home and is constantly talking about then when we’re at home. I would definitely recommend these lovely ladies.

Thank you hun, she’s settled really well and made some forever friends x

Amazing!

My little girl has been with Michelle & Nat since January and she absolutely adores the both of them. My girl learns new things everyday, she comes home saying new words, doing new things. She even took her first steps with Shell & Nat. I couldn’t wish for better people to look after my baby, I feel at ease leaving her. I honestly wouldn’t recommend anyone else!! They are both amazing!

AMAZING

Both of My children have had the pleasure to go to Shells Stars! Michelle and Natalie are absolutely amazing with my boys and nothing is too much of an ask! I don't leave my children with anyone but my parents I am that paranoid mum, but when my boys are with Shell and Nat I am so calm because I know how safe loved and well looked after they are! Kian my youngest has come on leaps and bounds whilst at shells he can now do the full alphabet and recognise his own name amongst others on the pegs! Thankyou so much Shell and Nat we are so grateful for you!

Excellent experience

My daughter is a very shy little lady so we as parents was worried about putting her into childcare but we was offered settling in periods and my daughter took to shell and Nat right away and her new wonderful environment they both were very great at communicating with us throughout the day and gave feedback every day on what our child had done she came on so much I was sad to see her leave for big girl school. We are definitely going to be very comfortable leaving our son with them when we are ready for him to go! Highly recommended this childminding service. Thank you shell and Nat maliyah misses you both ❤️

Thank you so much, we all miss you too and can’t wait to work along side your little boy xx

The best of the best

Both my girls attended shell stars (one currently there now) would highly recommend Michelle an Natalie. They really brought my little girl on and helped with potty training also with her trying lots of new foods that she won't eat at home but will eat with them. There communication is brilliant always there when I need a chat or support. I'll be very sad to see my little girl leave them and go to school but she will still be staying as a holiday child because of how fantastic they are.

Wouldn't leave my children anywhere else

All 3 of my children have attended shells stars and I wouldn't leave them anywhere else. Michelle and Nat look after your babies like they are their own, My youngest currently attends, the setting is lovely and clean, the children are always doing different activites and having fun through play.

My children had settling in sessions at the beginning, my daughter was very clingy to me so I was concerned she wouldn't settle. Michelle and Nat were very understanding and we had a few settling in sessions but she was absolutely fine and is very comfortable with them both.

The best childcare in Wythenshawe I highly recommend Michelle & Nat xx
