Our wee girl has been going to Michelle since she was 1, she's now nearly 3. When I was first looking for a childminder I had all the usual 'new Mum leaving her little one for the first time' worries but I needn't have been concerned as Michelle has been fantastic. Our wee girl loves being in Michelle's care, has a great time playing with Michelle's children and the other children in her care and has thrived over the past couple of years. Michelle is a very warm, energetic person who genuinely loves her job and it shows in the way she interacts with the children in her care and the lovely rapport she builds with all of them. She has a great playroom, a huge garden and is close to a lovely park and Hobbledown so she has all the space little ones need to run around and get lots of fresh air. She also does lots of fun indoor play and craft activities too. We get lovely little reports about our wee girl's day with Michelle and lots of photos - it's always great to see what she's been up to and the smile on her face. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Michelle to other families looking for a childminder.
