My son has been attending Ann Marie's setting for four years now. He has made lots of friends there and really enjoys his days at “school.” He has learned his ABCs, counting, and lots of nursery rhymes and songs, which he comes home singing to me.
He loves Ann Marie and Francine so much that when he comes home, he accidentally calls me Francine too. The setting has an abundance of entertainment for the children, encouraging both indoor and outdoor play. The garden has recently been renovated, providing a safe and fun environment for the children.
Communication and support regarding funding have been superb, with invoices sent promptly. The notification of the following month’s activities has been really useful in preparing not just the children, but parents as well, for school life.
Ann Marie and Francine take great care in readying the children for school, encouraging independence and providing support whenever it has been needed. The flexibility they have provided our family has been a godsend, and we are so sad for our son to leave them this September. I’m not sure who is more upset—my son or me!
Thank you for your amazing service and care!

Thank you so much we appreciate your lovely review. ❤️
Our 3 year old has been with Francine and Ann Marie for nearly two years. He has a wonderful time and we can see how much learning he is doing whilst he is there as he tells us all about it and will point out numbers he recognises etc. Francine and Ann Marie have worked so hard with Ofsted and have completed lots of extra training which has been extremely beneficial for the children. It is a home from home environment with fresh meals everyday. Our boy loves attending and we are extremely pleased with the service provided and would highly recommend both Francine and Ann Marie.
