Both Holly and Mel are super nurturing, attentive and work collaboratively with us if there are any changes for our son’s needs. Holly and Mel accommodated our son’s dietary requirements with ease and we have always felt that our son is safe and cared for.
Holly and Mel maintain good communication and our son loves attending Mini Marvels.

Thank you so much for this lovely review—it really means a lot to us!
We’re so happy to hear that you feel confident and supported by us
Most importantly, it’s amazing to hear that he loves coming to Mini Marvels—that always makes our day!
Thanks again for your kind words and for trusting us with his care 💛
Holly & Melissa are great! Very welcoming and friendly. I was very optimistic leaving my son with anyone who isn’t family, but I have to say I have felt very reassured and my son has been very happy and settled in well.
The play area is great, with lots to do and such a homely vibe. Definitely do consider Mini Marvels as your babies childminder!

I went to go see this childminders today, both women were so lovely and professional.
They are very child centric and have such a lovely environment. It’s definitely a home environment I will consider when I put my son into a childminders.
