Michelle is a wonderful childminder, my 2 children have been with her for 2 months now and their mental and physical development is coming along in leaps and bounds.
Her home and family are very welcoming and my children benefit greatly from the interactions with them, helping them to develop their their social and communication skills. My 18 month old son says a new word every few days, and has started to string sentences together.
Michelle plans out their day in advance based on what they like and their ability. She also encourages them to try new activities. She has a fantastic selection of toys and games for my children to use, many of which they don't have at home, so they benefit immensley from a vast selection of different toys and activities.
My 18 month old wasn't walkin until he was 15 months old but thanks to the work that Michelle has done he is running, climbing, jumping and dancing around everywhere.
Michelle also thinks of activities for my children to do that neither my partner or I think of, so the children face new challenges on a daily basis, and they relish the opportunity to sink their teeth into something new and different.
I'm so glad that we chose to place our children with Michelle, they are growing and developing into well rounded individuals with a taste for adventure and a little mischief. New challenges no longer worry them and they are becoming very confident in everything that they do.
