There are not enough words of praise to describe how wonderful Michelle is, not just as a childminder, but also as a person.
Michelle looked after our daughter 3 days a week since she was 14 months old and left to start primary school. From the moment that we had the first meeting with Michelle, we could tell that she was a consummate professional and passionate about her job, in addition to being the kindest, warmest person.
As any new first parent experiences, the thought of putting your child into childcare was daunting. From the outset Michelle was incredible at answering all questions and settling any worries that we had. From day 1 and throughout our journey with Michelle, she has always provided us with daily updates, pictures and thorough handovers about the day so that we knew what our daughter had done and how she had settled (which was rarely ever an issue). We never worried about her when she was with Michelle because it was like leaving her with a member of the family. The love and care that she showed to our child and to us as parents was amazing and we will be forever grateful for her support.
Michelle’s setting is like a home from home, immaculately clean and welcoming and you can tell that she takes great pride in making her setting as child friendly as possible.
Our daughter’s development came on leaps and bounds whilst at Michelle’s setting and Michelle would always have fun and educational activities set up each day to encourage that development from a very early age. Michelle has always taken our daughter to toddler groups, farms, the zoo and other places to ensure that she got to experience mixing with other children her age. I have been in a position where people who know our family have seen Michelle out at toddler groups and have gone out of their way to contact me to tell me how amazing Michelle is with our daughter and how lucky we are that she is our childminder. It is no surprise to us that Michelle is rated as an ‘Outstanding’ provider by Ofstead, because she is just that.
Michelle has become so much more to us than just a childminder, she is a part of our family and has had a huge positive impact on our daughter’s early years. We will always cherish that time and will continue to keep in contact with her, not just for our daughter’s sake but also for ours. We would have absolutely no doubt or hesitation to recommend Michelle to any other parents and they would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their children.
Thank you Michelle, for everything.
