Average Rating: 5 stars (5 from 22 reviews)

Martine looked after my 2 year old daughter, this was my first time leaving my child with a childminder which I was very nervous about.
Martine reassured me my daughter would be fine, martine was interested with my daughter’s day to day activities eg my child’s likes an dislikes weakness and strong points .Martine contacted me frequently to update me on my daughter progress until she settled into a routine with her.

I would recommend Martine because she is very professional, caring and has my child’s best interest at heart . Martine has been involved in increase growth of my child’s confidence and development. This has shown me my child is in good hands because of the improvements in my daughter well-being.

Martine has been childminder to my 11 year old son since September. She is very firm in her discipline methods however very fair, which I really appreciate especially given that my son is mildly autistic and can be quite a handful at times. Knowing that her discipline methods are consistent with my own, makes it all the more reassuring leaving my son in her care. Her communication is excellent as she always keeps me well informed of how his behaved, policies, holidays, etc.
She has a warm, friendly disposition and easy to get along with parent and child alike. I would definetly recommend her services as she is very professional and thorough in all that she does.

Martine is an extremely professional childminder. We haven't had an issue with her till date and last but not the least she is very friendly with the kids and has an impressive way of disciplining them.

My son talks a lot about her which I believe is a testimony to the nice experience which any child would have under her.

Martine has been collecting my daughter from school since last September. I would definitely recommend Martine as an excellent childcare provider. As someone who works within child protection I was cautious about leaving my child with someone, however, Martine was very professional when we first visited her home. She was able to answer all of my questions and assure me that my daughter would be taken care of.

Martine ensures that she gets an update from my daughter's school about how she has been during the day and always feeds back to me with any issues. Martine ensures that my daughter does her reading whilst in her care and encourages the other children to support each other in reading and interacting with each other.

My daughter absolutely loves Martine and I have witnessed new younger children start in her care who at first are very shy and by the second/third week they are greeting me at the door when I come to collect my daughter, which shows they are in a thriving and caring environment.

Martine will enforce any boundaries which I have set with my daughter, so if I say she's not allowed any treats or to watch TV because she hasn't been behaving in school, she will ensure this is done.

During the school holiday's Martine ensures the children are kept active with visits to the local parks, attractions, fun fairs etc. At Christmas time she took the children to the Christmas market in Greenwich on the way home from school, which was a lovely treat and the kids thoroughly enjoyed it.

I would have no hesitation in recommending her services.

Martine is great with my 7 month old who hasn't spent time with anyone outside family. I think it was a more nerve wrecking experience for myself than my daughter but Martine reassured me that my daughter would be in great hands from my first meeting with her. Very professional with all the necessary paperwork and extremely flexible!

I have two boys aged 12 and 7 and have used Martine for many years. First it was during the school holidays where many activities was thoughtfully planned as well as many out door fun day trips, that my sons thoroughly enjoyed! The boys love being cared for by Martine and get along well with her daughter and partner. She is very efficient and flexible with her times and days and is very easy to communicate with. My youngest son always looks forward to going to Martines; it's a happy and safe environment.

Martine is currently looking after my 17 month old and she's brilliant!!! I highly recommend her!!
She's extremely professional, flexible and has my daughters best interest at heart!!!
Her setting at home is beautiful and she's very thorough in regards to paper work and communication with myself and my partner, her prices are very reasonable as well and she's been so accommodating with our crazy schedules.
My little girl comes home happy every night and that puts my mind at ease.
We highly recommend her!!
