Below are the latest reviews for Marie. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk.

Marie was childminder for nearly 4 years for our eldest child and over 2 years for our youngest child.
My mother was a childminder for many years as I was growing up, so I hold a particular standard for childminders in my head. Marie has not only met these standards, she has well surpassed them. I do not feel there is anything more I could ask of Marie that she doesn’t already provide.
Not only does she provide a safe loving environment for my children at her home, with more toys and fun education than they could wish for, but she also takes them to places that they experience plenty of interaction with other children and the outdoors.
In my opinion, Marie has a keen eye regarding child development, its stages and full scope of skills and alerts me to any areas that may be of concern, or anything that she feels my children are particularly good at. Marie is always happy to suggest ways to encourage progression at home with any areas that are a concern, which gives me comfort in knowing that she is also there to support me in the best possible progression for my children’s development.
I have to say, I do love the booklets that we receive from Marie when our children have first started going, these are filled in daily and really help with the transition from staying at home on maternity leave to returning to work, it gives you a real window into the full day your child has had and is a fabulous keepsake.
I am very grateful that we found Marie for our childcare, and feel very fortunate that she was able to also accept our youngest child for a place in her care, as I am aware her services are highly coveted.

We have had both our children with Marie since they were babies, our eldest is going to school in September and will miss Marie terribly. Marie has always been a fantastic childminder for us, she goes above and beyond to look after our children and both our children feel happy and loved at Marie's. She has helped them develop in so many ways and always has something interesting and stimulating for them to do. Our children love the environment at Marie's home and I always feel confident that our children are safe, healthy and extremely well cared for. I cannot recommend Marie enough, she is simply wonderful.
