About Me
My name is Michelle Gamble (Nee Murby); I am rated "Good" by Ofsted. I opened my setting in 2015 and prior to this was an adult nurse for many years. My husband Tristan, sons and I all have clean DBS's. Tristan is registered with Ofsted as my assistant and works along side me part time. He has a full, clean drivers license and business class car insurance on our car.
We have two sons and a daughter: Noah is twenty, Finley is sixteen and Ava, is seven.
Our home and setting is heavily inspired by Montessori and Charlotte Mason here. I am a Hygge in the early years accredited setting and completed the 'Hygge Baby' course which was very inspiring. We believe that it instills a love of nature, mindfulness, kindness, independence and freedom within our thoughtfully prepared environment here. The materials here are aimed at specific stages of child development and our multi-age setting brings a sense of belonging and community.
We offer a wide range of activities on a daily basis and no two days are ever the same. We have a lovely outdoor space, two separate playrooms, a good size kitchen/dining room and living room for children to play in. I have a fantastic range of resources both inside and out. Play is always led by the children and their interests and we follow a weekly nature study here.
All Home Ed'/ EOTAS children are welcome here - Mornings, afternoons, term time only, ad-hoc sessions and full days available with us. We do art, crafting, baking/cooking, handicrafts, video editing/ graphic design, yoga, explore nature, sports, sharing books together and lots more.
Meals, drinks and snacks are nutritionally balanced. We have a self service snack and drink station in the mornings and afternoons . I have a level two award in food safety in catering and take great pride in following these standards in my kitchen. I can cater for all dietary requirements. I do not charge extra for food.
I am easily accessible to surrounding villages, Enderby Police Station, Grove Park, Santander, Oaks Industrial Estate, Fosse park and Next which are all very near to my home.
We use a childcare App for parents: setting communication - photo exchanges, daily diary (nappies/toilet, food & snacks, sleeps and activities), observations etc.
My Experience
Experience looking after babies and children of all ages. Everyone is welcome here with us.
Additional needs experience (CP, DS, ASD - pathways and diagnosed, hearing and visual impairments, Asthma, multiple allergies, complex care needs, rare genetic syndromes, enteral feeding, epilepsy etc.)
I am able to provide respite hours here for children with additional needs. Previously a nurse for many years with vast knowledge and experience.
Experienced in looking after home educated children here. Mummy to child on EOTAS package.
Parents to our own three children, aunty to our three nephews and a niece.

Our little girl has settled in amazing here, Michelle and Tristan provide a great, fun setting. I love seeing all the pictures from the day and there is such a variety of activities! My daughter loves the food they provide too! My daughters speech and skills has excelled over the 2 months she’s been here - a lovely welcoming setting for her!
