Where do I begin with Michala!!
My sister was the first one to send her twins to Michala 9 years ago, then my cousin followed by sending her Daughter too (recently left for school) Seeing the amazing start Michala gave to them all I decided there was nowhere else I would want to send my child so decided to apply for a place for my first daughter, now 3 (I did this whilst pregnant as I know she’s always in demand!!) And then followed the same for my youngest daughter who is now 1. Both my girls went to Michalas from being around 9 months old. My oldest started whilst I lived local to Michalas house and after a year I moved but because my daughter was sooo settled I decided to put my youngest daughter in too and continue to do so and I still make the 6 mile round trip to Michalas now!
My oldest daughter has a rare genetic disorder which means she has verbal and motor delays, I can honestly hand on heart say she would not be where she is now 3 years on if it wasn’t for all the dedication and amazing work Michala has done with her. She took it upon herself to research my daughters condition in her own time and even bought various new toys and equipment to assist her.
I know from family sending their children how amazing she was but witnessing her with own children I can say this is 100% true!
I have never for a single second had to worry about either of my girls being at Michalas house as she treats them like they are her own. They are fed well, taken for trips out and to play groups, always learning new things and above anything else loved!
When I pick my girls up Michala always tells me what they have done, what they have eaten and how they have been that day, I love hearing about their adventures.
I will be so sad to leave but I will forever be grateful for the start Michala has given my girls and I would recommend her to EVERYONE! Michala really is “Marvel”ous

Thank you so much Jade. I wonder who will be the next member of your family to bring their children? It has been so rewarding helping Arabella to develop and reach the milestones some people thought she wouldn’t be able to. Both of your children are a pleasure to care for.
My daughter has been with michala since she was a baby, whenever she goes she runs up to her house so excited (going to my kalas) as she says. She has learnt so much from being there. They do something different everyday from going to parks, play areas, the zoo etc. I have a son who went to normal nursery and i wish that i had of found michala sooner as she treats the kids in her care like she would her own child. She helps in anyway she can. My daughter has spent the night with michala and she loved it as its like her second home. I recommend her to anyone who has just had a baby.

Thank you Simone, I love having her, she’s developed from a tiny baby into such a character and she loves learning new things x
My little girl has enjoyed her time with kala and she will miss her when she starts preschool in September. Kala has helped me a lot as our situation changed due to me being on oxygen I can’t drop my little off at kalas so she comes and collects her and then my husband drives me to pick her up . With the help extra from Kala my little girl has come leaps and bounds thank you again Kala.

It has been a pleasure having her and her development has come on so much x
My little boy was only 6 months old when he started with michala, It made going back to work a doodle knowing that my baby is so well looked after by michala. He has only been with michala for the past 5 months and already he has done so much and learnt so much too. He loves going to Michala’s, as soon as we get to the door he gets all excited. I love how all his meals are cooked from scratch and are always healthy too. And how it is set out literally like a nursery all displays up on the walls ect. I also love how we get a daily diary of what he has been doing, ate, toileting ect throughout the day, and most of all the picture. Her son is also so good with the children they all adore him, he is such a caring polite boy. I am a nurse and michala is so flexible around my shifts which helped lots. Michala always goes above and beyond for the children and I am so glad that my little boy is in her care.
Michala well what can I say I was sad my son had to go to school as she looked after my son like her own, I trusted her completely and missed him being with her when it was time to move on x my son did everything and went to lots of activities in the week with lots of lovely pictures of the day which you don’t always get in a nursery setting, she really nurtured him and identified he wasn’t meeting certain targets for his age which really helped us make school aware of concerns over global days, she was patient and made sure she worked with him helping him potty train and hold his knife and fork properly, she always went above and beyond for us and always accommodated us x my son ate lots of nutritional foods all home cooked from scratch
Her own son is a credit to her parenting he is such a pleasant caring boy who is amazing with children xxx
