Fantastic Childminder

I highly recommend Mags. Our son was with her for almost 2 years from the age of 10 months. From day one, Mags was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, professional, and flexible whenever our plans changed. She truly treated my son like a member of her own family, and they had such a lovely bond. As a first time mum, Mags would share some great parenting advice and even after leaving 4 years ago we still find ourselves selves saying ‘as Mags would say’. We sadly stopped using Mags in 2022 due to relocating with work, otherwise we would still 100% being using her today

Best childminder

Mags has been the best person that has come into our lives, since day one she made our wee one feel welcomed and loved, our daughter always comes home with the biggest smile and ask to go back to Mags as soon as possible.
When needed, Mags is very flexible with pick up timings, food, and what our needs are.
My daughter loves her and Mags loves her back (me and my husband love Mags too)

A brilliant find

We were needing a childminder for our daughter for when she started school. I found Mags and have to say I couldn't be happier with the care our daughter receives. She has been extremely helpful and professional. I was concerned all the change in our daughters life, leaving nursery, starting school and having to settle with someone new would be difficult but Mags has been excellent at reassuring our daughter and ourselves.

I feel really lucky to have found Mags and will happily recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder.

Fantastic Childminder!

We are beyond happy with the care that our daughter received from Mags and her family! My daughter was in Mags care from 5 months to 18 months and we would still be there today had we not made an international move. Mags really made my daughter feel a part of their family and I know she was truly happy there as most of the time she didn't want to leave! Although the time was breif I am forever grateful that my daughter had a second loving family environment at such an important developmental stage in her life!

Wonderful Childminder!!

After our previous childminder had to hand her notice in, I was stuck for childcare for 6 weeks prior to moving house and Mags came to our rescue!! We have two little boys aged 3 and 2 and they just fit in perfectly with Mags and her family also having two boys. She is extremely patient and caring and I have learnt so much from her in her short time looking after our boys. They listen to her which is a god send because they can be little tinkers for me and their dad. The boys are very excited to see her when we pull up to her house shouting Mags at the top of their voice. They always do indoor and outdoor activities to stimulate their minds. I would very strongly recommend Mags with any working family like ours as I know our boys are in very good hands as they are loved and included in her family whilst we are at work. My only dissappointment is that we are moving away from Edinburgh and we will soon be leaving Mags and her family behind. A wonderful childminder that goes the extra mile and accomodates anything your family needs. Mags we will miss you so much!!
