Michelle provides exceptional childcare in a warm and nurturing setting. My child thoroughly enjoys spending time with her and consistently returns home happy and eager to recount their experiences.
Michelle and Jane are incredibly patient and compassionate, and I always feel assured that my child is safe and in capable hands. They go above and beyond to create stimulating activities that foster learning and development, while also ensuring children have ample opportunities for independent play and exploration.
They are also highly communicative and keep me informed about my child's day, which I greatly appreciate. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle to any parent seeking a loving and dependable childcare provider.

We’ve always had excellent experiences with Michelle and our darling child Gregory. He’s a slow learner, but she has been there for his early development and learning. He has really thrived in her care and enjoyed all of the outings with Michelle. I can’t wait to see and hear about his adventures with her, now his speech is coming along too. I know he is safe in Michelle’s care too.

Seemed very keen to be our childminder when we met in person.
Sounded like Michelle had good structure with the children she looks after. Nice place for children to be and good security, however we confirmed to Michelle to be our childminder and never got a response.
Messaged a few times and even checked at her house encase there is an issue with the website and messaged but still ignored.
Disappointing really. She could have been good...

Thank you for taking the time to review our service, unfortunately we were not able to provide care at this time.
Sadly our service was closed and we were on holiday and out of the country on the weekend when you turned up at our home.
We wish you well in finding the care you require.
