I have no hesitation in recommending Michelle to anyone looking for a childminder. She has been looking after my 20 month old daughter for the past month. Amber is very shy around new people but immediately connected & interacted with Michelle. It is something I have never seen before. Michelle provides a very safe & stimulating environment for children & photos/updates during the day. Amber has been on many outings to parks, soft play & rhyme time to name but a few. She also provide other activites such as arts & crafts & playtime in her garden where there is a sandpit, playhouse & trampoline. When I say to Amber we are off to see Michelle today she gives a big smile. There have been a few occasions where she has had so much fun she doesn't want to leave. Amber has been welcomed into Michelle's home & family & loves spending time with her daughters. Amber settled in to her new routine immediately so I don't feel like I am leaving her with a childminder more a family member.
