I can’t recommend Marlene enough; she is a fantastic childminder, very patient, caring and professional. My son has been going to Marlene now for 18 months and my daughter also during school holidays. The environment Marlene provides is a great mix of home life and learning based, with lots of activities and space for the children to play and explore. Marlene has a wonderful setting for the children, clean, secure and safe and they can play naturally and freely. Marlene also provides a great variety of foods and snacks, the majority of which is all homemadewhich she records in my son's daily book. I’ve always felt relaxed and happy leaving my children with Marlene and I know that she is very attentive and sympathetic to their needs. First class childminder.
