My little girl has been cared for by Marina since April and I couldn’t be more grateful for what Marina has done for our daughter.
This setting is second to none! The physical learning environment and resources are remarkable and are regularly enhanced to reflect the children’s interests and present learning. Marina is constantly striving for excellence and children now have free flow access to learning indoor and outdoors. Provision reflects the requirements of the Early Years Curriculum ensuring children have all necessary opportunities to develop and flourish.
The initial reason for wanting a childminder instead of a private day nursery is because we wanted a “home environment” for our child and felt a nursery would be to formal and institutionalised. With Marina, I believe children get the best of both.
My daughter has built strong bonds with Marina and her family. She honestly loves going there and looks forward to seeing her and all her friends.
Marina ensures I am fully informed of my daughter’s stage of development, I am informed of her strengths and next steps and together we work on these to ensure my child is making progress in all areas.
Communication between me and Marina is excellent. We use baby’s days app, whatsapp, emails and phone calls.
In addition, I like that Marina is incredibly flexible and accommodating, she goes above and beyond her role for the needs of the children and families she works with and is more than helpful if parents need additional days or hours than normal.

I couldn’t recommend Marina enough, for us it’s been the best decision we have made for our daughter so far.
