Childcare in Sandbach
Kids Planet Sandbach Montessori is a recently acquired setting in the Kids Planet family, with an approach that follows each child’s individual learning style at their own pace. The team’s overall aim is for the children to leave to go to school not only ready for their next stage of learning, but also full of self-esteem, confidence and with high levels of wellbeing.
Michelle Smith is the nursery manager at Kids Planet Sandbach Montessori.
I am the Manager here at Sandbach. I have been working with children since 2003, working in Montessori settings since 2011. I am Level 3 qualified, with a Montessori Diploma Level 4. I also have a level 3 in Leadership & Management and have completed my Forest school qualification.
I am passionate about sharing my Montessori knowledge with both the children and staff members. I want to share my love of nature with children and believe both the Montessori and Forest school ethos foster this care for the environment and our world.
I live locally and enjoy spending my spare time exploring new cities and renovating my home. I spend time visiting family regularly and I also volunteer for the Crewe Clean Team, litter picking in the local community.
