Marina was a lovely childminder and I was always really happy with the care she gave my daughter. I especially liked how inclusive her setting was. The children learned about different cultures, places and celebrations, and they were always doing something interesting.

They went out a lot, visited different places and learned about the world around them. I also really liked that Marina gave them healthy food and taught them little things like looking after their teeth and becoming more independent.

I am quite an anxious mum, so it meant a lot to me that Marina always kept me updated. She sent me pictures, told me where they had been, what my daughter had eaten, when she slept and woke up, and little things she had said or done during the day. I always felt like I knew how her day had gone.

Most importantly, my daughter was so happy there. She was always excited to go and have fun, and that made me feel very comfortable leaving her. I honestly wouldn’t have changed Marina for anybody else.
