We started our son full time with Michaela when he was just 10 months old, following a recommendation from close friends - and it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made.
From the very first settling-in sessions, Michaela made the transition feel genuinely effortless. She has a natural warmth and calm that put both our son and us at ease, and I was able to return to work with real confidence knowing he was happy and in safe hands.
The impact on his development has been remarkable. His vocabulary grows week on week, and he regularly surprises us with new words and phrases. Michaela keeps him engaged with a lovely range of activities -trips to the library, local parks and playgroups as well as art’s & crafts - and we treasure the photos and videos she sends throughout the week. It gives such wonderful peace of mind to see him thriving.
Most of all, our son absolutely adores her. Michaela has become so much more than a childminder to our family -she feels like a true extension of our parenting bubble, someone we trust completely with the person we love most. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

We sent our daughter (Maya) to Michaela when she was 1 year old. We had concerns about Maya for the first time, however Michaela made it a very easy for her to settle in. You have the opportunity to stay with your child for as long required however Maya loved it from day one!
Micheala is very conscientious and caring who looks after the children she looks after as though they are her own. She would take Maya out every day (weather permitting) to local parks, playgroups and local city farms which she really enjoyed. Her apartment is very clean, tidy and has lots of toys, colouring etc to entertain children.
Maya became very good friends with the other children she looks after as well as Michaela's family who are all extremely friendly and welcoming.
You do have to provide lunch for Maya however Michaela provided snacks and would make sure Maya was fed if she didn't eat what we provided.
Maya is now 2 and a half and we have moved out of the area, so unfortunately we could no longer take her to Michaela otherwise she would still be there! I would highly recommend Michaela who is also excellent value compared to other childminders in the area.
