"Michelle & Andrew, Thank you so very much for the fantastic care you have given '....' over the last 4 years. You have helped her grow into the confident, happy little girl she is today. We have always trusted you implicitly with the care of '....' and we cannot fault anything you have done. We have always known that she is safe and happy with you. It is going to be extremely difficult to let let go & see her go to 'Big girl School'! We can never thank you enough for the way you have cared for her and helped her to learn & develop. We will miss you very much and would love to keep in touch. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts"

"Michelle, We cannot put into words how thankful we are for all your support this year. This has been a very difficult few months for our family and throughout you have been a source of stability for "......" (and us!). We are not entirely sure how we would have made it through without you. You are an outstanding childminder, more than that, you are both important carers in our children's lives. "....." is developing into such an imaginative, creative and caring (and daring!) boy which is so much due to the environment you provide. Thank you for everything"

"We just wanted to say thank you for this last year. I love the fact that "....." cheers when we arrive at your house. It is so nice to know he is happy and enjoying himself. Thanks you both do an amazing job and you are outstanding"

"To Michelle & Andrew, Thank you for looking after "....." so well, he loves coming to your house and both of us feel lucky that we found somewhere so loving and nice for him to go. You are obviously just brilliant with children and we are glad you look after "....." so well, definitely a home from home"

To Michelle, Thank you for everything over the last 6 years! Not sure what we would have done without you."

Dear Michelle & Andrew, Just a note to thank you both so much for the wonderful job you have done in providing "....." with such a lovely environment in which to develop and grow. As you know the last 18 months have been extremely challenging, however you have provided "....." care and reassurance that I know has been great comfort to her"

"Michelle, Just a little note to say a very big thank you for the past 16 months. Your time, love and patience has helped shape our "....." into the little girl she is today, and for that we will always be grateful. Thank you also for being able to cater around our work demands. We know "....." will miss you all very much."

"To Michelle and Andrew, Thank you so much for everything that you have done for ".....". She has really enjoyed being at 'School' and that is down to the 2 of you making her feel part of your family. We are all going to miss you terribly but will keep in touch to let you know how "....." is getting on."

"Michelle, Congratulations on achieving 'Outstanding' again on your recent Ofsted inspection - we knew you would anyway!"

"Michelle and Andy, Thank you so much for the care you have given ".....". I know he has had a great time with you and he will miss you"

"To Michelle and Andrew, We just wanted to say a big thank you to you both for looking after "....." & ".....". They have both enjoyed every minute they have spent in your care. At every point you have gone beyond the call of duty in order to make our lives easier and for that we can never thank you enough"

"I would like to express my sincere thanks for the professional service you have provided over the last four years and in particular the care and support you have given "....." and ".....". Furthermore, I wish to thank you for providing such a reliable service, offering flexibility when needed and for the advice you have given me over the years regarding my children"
