I chose Michelle to be our childmidner for our son (now 33 months) when I returned to work, after seeing two other childminders in the area. I knew instantly Michelle would be perfect on meeting her, she is kind and friendly and her house is perfect for children- an amazingly large, fully enclosed/safe grassy front and back garden and every fun playground element a child could wish for around it! Her large livIng room is like a nursery, with a huge array of toys, games and play to suit any age kid. Our son joined Michelle when he was 7 months (2 full days and 1 1/2 day every week) and stayed over 2 years untill recently now he is nearly 3- and only because we sadly moved away from the area.
He is very energetic and can be very demanding (!) at times, but Michelle has such a calm but fun demeanor and patient attitude he really developed brilliantly in her care. Could not recommend her highly enough. Happy to be contacted for personal review if needed.
