Sally and Michael are simply the best childminders I could have hoped for, for my daughter! They have been looking after Martha since September 2016, just before her first birthday and she simply loves going to their home, in fact I rarely get a kiss goodbye from her because she's raring to get in the door and go and play.
They have a great set up in their home, having basically turned it into a nursery. They provide home cooked meals for the children, as well as plenty of snacks. They have a huge amount of different toys, books and dressing up clothes for children of various ages to play with inside the house, as well as provision for different craft activities.
Their garden is simply to die for as it is very large and they have a playground area with slide and climbing apparatus in one part and then in an undercover area there is a ball pit and sand pits of different heights. There's also 2 small out buildings, one where the children can paint and do art work and another one that's set up like a little kitchen/play house. Finally, there are of course all of the lovely animals, which was what had initially attracted me to meeting Sally and Michael in the first place.
Even though Sally and Michael are set up with all these amazing things in the house, they usually take the children out and about in the morning which is terrific as it gives my daughter lots of different experiences, as well as that all important fresh air!
Sally and Michael clearly love their job and are extremely bubbly and enthusiastic. Their own children are just lovely and very well-mannered. They have clear rules and all the children I've met very obviously love being with them as much as Martha does. I simply can't recommend Sally and Michael highly enough, they are absolutely brilliant!!
