Absolutely one of the best childminders
Michelle was minding my son for few years until he started at school. She is absolutely one of the best childminder. She is trustworthy, caring and always go an extra step providing extra support when needed. She pays great attention to details and communicate about any concerns and highly supportive and helpful. She is highly active and plans amazing activities eg walks in woods, trips to park etc. She has absolutely two beautiful children with the best behaviour, so caring, entertaining and they loved playing with my son. Michelle is definitely one of the best and she is the first one I would approach if I needed any childcare or advice as she is trustworthy and very helpful and involved.

Michelle is an excellent childminder who helped look after our son Patrick one day a week for over a year. As soon I met Michelle, I knew she was the right lady to care for him - caring, honest, patient and kind. Nothing was too much trouble! Patrick settled well into her setting and always talked with such joy about the activities and experiences he had there. Michelle’s children are a credit to her and really looked out for Patrick when they got home from school and in the holidays. Michelle knew Patrick adores trains and when he was feeling slightly apprehensive after not being there for a while, Michelle organised a special trip all the way to Beckonskott model railway! She really is a great childminder - always updating the ‘daily diary’, checking in and just generally being a lovely, caring and flexible person to have around. I would not hesitate to recommend her!

A truely special person, a part of the family!
Michelle (shell) to our daughter, looked after violet from the age of 1 to 3 and still continues to be a part of our lives.
When we met Michelle and her lovely family we were especially taken by her genuine and honest approach. Her children are kind hearted and smart, great with the little ones and a testament to her and Nick.
The reason we picked Michelle to care for our daughter was simple but people like her are very difficult to find. A genuine love and interest in children. Calm, kind and supportive. Structured but always with love and flexibility. Violet still takes about Michelle and the family, especially Emily (Michelle’s daughter) who became our daughters ‘big sister’.
Educationally violet came home with so many new skills and couldn’t wait to get in to Michelle house every day for more fun!!!
A truely special person, we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her’

Wonderful childminder
Michelle has looked after our twin boys for the last 2 and a half years, before that she worked at a local pre school looking after our daughter. The boys were always happy to go to Michelle’s, she would always be doing lots of exciting and educational activities with them to keep them both entertained and aid their development.
She would also arrange a number of trips out which the boys would always really enjoy.
We were regularly kept up to date during the day as to what the boys had been doing so we didn’t need wonder how they were getting on.
Highly recommended!

Fantastic childminder
Michelle is a very caring Childminder and was very loved by our daughter. We always had regular updates throughout the day and nothing was ever too much. Our daughter never wanted to leave at pick up and had a great time with all the children. We will miss seeing her each week and our daughter will also miss seeing Michelle's children and Cookie the cat too!

Caring and professional childminder
Our son attended Michelle's setting from 9 months until recently when he was 3. She provided exceptional care, love and attention beyond what we ever expected and became a wonderful friend and educational advocate for our son during his time there, which spanned him still being little through to him going on to preschool. During Covid we were kept safe and informed, and Michelle went the extra mile providing fun and light-hearted digital content, which kept us all feeling like a group as well as entertaining our children individually on their birthdays and at points where some merriment was much needed. Michelle has acted like a second mum to my child, and I honestly could not recommended her more highly. She always goes the extra mile and considers activities and sessions which cater for all the children she looks after, as well as finding special treats on an individual basis, which can only be attributed to her really knowing her children and caring so much. Our sons development both education wise and emotionally was really well understood and cared for by her. But for a change in family circumstances, our son would still be at Michelle's, and whilst we aren't there currently, we are still in contact and much appreciate all the kind words, actions and care that Michelle shows for her children- both those who are still actively attending her setting and those who have moved up to school and beyond. Her own children are a joy and a credit to her, and demonstrate how wonderful the setting really is and how it acts as a home from home type environment, which was really important when we initially wanted childcare.
