My Summary
About Me
I am a 54 year old mother of two beautiful girls of 29 and 25, I have been working in childcare for about 16 years now as well as raising my own children.
I have a warm nature and love looking after children and believe that every child is a unique child. I encourage children to learn and grow at their own pace, I enjoy doing all sorts of activities with children and I feel it is important to make the child feel safe, loved.
I always Make sure that children have outside activities planned ie: going to the park, walks by the river, library and play groups so that they can interact with other children so can develop good social skills.
I help children with their development and learning so that they are ready to go to school and have the best start. I offer a home from home setting and always work with parents to provide consistent care which coincides with how parents bring their children up at home. I am always keeping up to date with training so that I can provide the best possible care for children as well as providing a loving and caring environment. Our last inspection we received a good with outstanding areas grading. I am also available for nanny jobs full time and part time as from August.
My Experience
I have been working with children for 16 years now and also have been bringing up 2 children of my own. I looked after 2 children ages 2 and a half until they went to school full time. After that I looked after a little girl from the age of 7 months to 2 years she left me as they moved out of London I also looked after a little boy from the age of 1 until he went to nursery, and I have looked after various ages after this from the ages of 5/6 months upwards. I have written references from all the parents I have worked for. I have also worked in a nursery with children from the ages of 3 months to 3 years and have had experience working in schools too.
I have extensive knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage and have put that into practice as a childminder and working in the nursery as well as being a nanny. I know work alongside my daughter who is also a registered childminder. On our last inspection we received good with outstanding areas grading.

As soon as I sat down with Michelle and Danielle in their living room I could sense that my little one would feel comfortable and cared for. Michelle is timely, professional and above all else a warm and loving person who loves what she does.
My son has loved going to ‘Chelle’ and I can’t recommend her highly enough. The setting really is a home away from home. Many activities and local outings have been had, I cherish all of the crafts that my son has brought home. He has thrived and socialised with the other children so well and it has given him a great start within a childcare setting. Thank you so much, Michelle!

When we first visited Michelle we knew we had found one of a kind. It was our first experience with a childminder and she followed us through the settling in period with patience and kindness. Our little one is always happy to go in the mornings and is always in good spirit when we do the pick ups. The kids are often doing fun activities, including plenty of outdoor exercise, and really seem to be enjoying themselves and interacting with one another.
I would absolutely choose Michelle again if I had to and recommend her as a caring and reliable childminder.

Michelle has been looking after our boy (3y) since he was 10 months old. She’s loving and caring and we felt safe leaving him with her - always keeping us in the loop, sending pictures, daily diary, etc. He’s well behaved and he’s reaching all his development milestones. She has a great selection of toys and games making learning fun. He’s always cooked for and gets a variety of healthy meals and snacks. We’ve been very happy with her.

Michelle has looked after our daughter since she was about 18 months old, for about 6 months now. She was very calm and patient while our daughter was settling in, which took only a couple of weeks. She provides nutritious and homely meals and snacks for her, like roasts and pasta, whole fruit and natural yogurt, pita bread and hummus. She provides a daily diary of activities, maintains a regular routine and a learning journal to record milestones and development. She does a lot to teach and develop our daughter, with everything from colours and numbers to nature walks and socialising through play dates. She also takes her to regular playgroups. Most importantly our daughter is happy with Michelle and talks about her often. Our daughter went to nursery first which didn't work out with the constant high staff turnover, so having the consistency of one carer, providing quality care, has made a huge difference. Would highly recommend Michelle to other parents looking for a reliable, caring and trustworthy childminder.
