My Summary
About Me
I have 4 children ages 27, 23, 18 and 8 years old. My 2 older children have both graduated from University and are now living independently. I am a single mother.
In January 2025 I took voluntary redundancy from my role as a Family Support Worker at the local Family Centre to pursue my dream to become a childminder. I enrolled at College and completed a Childminding Bootcamp course which confirmed I was making the right decision. I am newly registered with Ofsted but have over 20 years of working in Early Years and with children of all ages. I really enjoyed working in the local Prison supporting the inmates and their families.
I have a created a lovely safe, welcoming and fun play room with lots of toys and activities for all children. I have a large garden for children to play, learn, explore and develop.
My Experience
I have over 20+ years of Woking with Children and Families. Being a single mother and having 4 children myself I understand the importance of finding the right childcare. I provide a warm and safe environment for all children to learn and grow. I am very flexible and will always do my best to meet the needs of each individual child and their family.

From my initial message, Michelle made us feel comfortable & we couldn’t wait to meet her.
She welcomed us into her lovely home, it felt safe, was clean, organised, engaging & absolutely perfect for our 1 & 2 year old.
It’s always apprehensive leaving your children but meeting Michelle melted all our worries away.
We had regular updates throughout the day & were happy to know the children were happy too!
We have found a true gem with Michelle & are looking forward to seeing her again.
