Michelle has been our childminder for almost a year. In that time she has been a stable, constant source of support and nurture for our boy. She provides a stimulating and educational setting that feels fun and homely. Her updates through Famly app are fantastic and help me to track my child’s wellbeing and development as well as see the fun things he’s been doing. My boy adores her and has developed so much in her care. I am so grateful we found Michelle and would recommend her to anyone who needs to leave a little piece of their heart and soul with a childminder during the day ❤️

My child has been with chelle since day 1. I was apprehensive as never used a childminder before.
Chelle kept me updated & nothing was an issue which soon calmed my anxiety, especially when my child didn’t want to leave to come home as they were having to much fun.
My child loves going to chelle’s, she says she feels safe, listened to & has allot of fun with the different activities & outings Chelle organised. My child especially loves the garden/ arts & crafts and playing with the other children.
You can tell how much hard work Chelle & her family have put into start & maintain her business but as a parent it doesn’t feel like a business. It feels like a home from home.
The way Chelle & her mum treat my child is something i couldn’t ask for any better. I can not recommend enough.

My daughter started with Michelle 2 years ago, I was extremely anxious and it showed. Michelle was so kind, she would update me with photos and messages to reassure me. The kindness her entire family showed to my daughter was beautiful, they cared for her like she was their own and she always had a great time. Michelle spends so much time organising activities, trips and parties, there's always something happening for the kids. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help care for my daughter! Michelle is caring, passionate and a big kid at heart herself, it's no wonder the kids love her!

My son spent 2 years with chelle, and over this time formed a great bond with herself and the other children at the setting. My son learned many new skills here and really came out of his shell socially. Chelle provides great activities such as messy play, arts arts and crafts, home baking. Science experiments etc that are not only fun but are a great learning experience. We had no issues with this service during the 2 year period and we were always kept up to date and were in communication regularly throughout, so we felt at ease knowing our son was safe and happy.
