I have known Mairi for a few years but battled to get a space due to her popularity! When I did get a space I was not let down. Mairi is a fantastic, caring childminder who really does it for the love of the kiddies! She is always keeping her certificates up to date sometimes sitting well into the night after her children have left for the day to make sure they get her full attention! She made me feel comfortable and kept me up to date with my little ones antics during the day! And there were always plenty fun activities planned. I really don’t want to have to leave her but like a bad penny I’m hoping to be back soon with my new arrival!

Mairi looked after my daughter from she was a few months old until she was 3years old and started school nursery. My daughter hasn’t been to Mairis for a year and a half but still talks about her and all the friends she made. As my daughter was full time with Mairi and she became part of their family. Mairi does lots of fun activities from days out, toddlers, trips to the park and so much more. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend Mairi as she played a massive part in my daughters upbringing and giving her knowledge and confidence.

Aww Jenny i still talk about her too. She was a huge character in my home and we x all miss her. Thank you for your review. Mx

Mairi looked after my daughter from a toddler right through to when she started school and we only stopped when we moved out of the catchment area.
Mairi provides such a caring, nurturing environment and it is clear she loves what she does. Mairi does so many activities with the kids; from playing in the park, picnics, day trips all over central Scotland & even the beach.
Always willing to be flexible and always happy to do extra if she can.
When we had to leave Mairi we were so sad, I highly recommend Mairi to any family who is looking for a first class childminder.

Thank you so much Lynne. I appreciate your feedback. I miss you guys. Mx

My 2 kids have been under Mairi's care, on and off for over 5 years.
Mairi understood that my kids only needed limited care provision and was flexible to fit the kids in around both mine and my husband's work schedules, as well as her own.
Furthermore, Mairi was available to take the kids over the summer which was a real bonus.
Mairi offers the kids a loving, safe and fun time in her care.
The kids especially loved meeting up with other Childminders in the area and going on even more adventures in and around Tullibody and Stirling.
I would highly recommend Mairi as she is a fantastic childminder who has opened not only her door, but her heart to caring for local kids. I think my kids will miss her when they have grown up and become self-sufficient confident people, something Mairi had a hand in and i am eternally grateful for her dedication and commitment!!
Total all-round star!

Aww thank you Jane. Your two are fun to have around. They are always up for trying new things. Mx

Mairi was my daughter's childminder from 14 months and she was brilliant with her. My daughter took a couple of weeks to settle but Mairi's calm, nurturing nature meant she soon ran in the door without a care. She did lots of outdoor learning with her and took her on lots of adventures. Couldn't recommend her highly enough! Quite a few of my friends have used her terrific service too. She's also very flexible and able to work around you if something has confe up or set you back.
