Finding someone you trust to care for your child is one of the hardest things as a new parent, but from the very first meeting, I knew Marcia was special. Her warm, nurturing approach and the way she gradually introduced our little one to her care gave us complete confidence. It was clear from the beginning that she genuinely cares about the children she looks after, taking the time to build strong relationships with both them and their families.

Every day with Marcia is an adventure! She plans exciting days out, making sure the children experience new things while still maintaining a sense of routine with weekly visits to preschool and the library. The structured days including scheduled lunch and nap times, have made it so much easier for us to maintain a consistent routine at home, which has been invaluable as we build our own family rhythm.

What truly sets Marcia apart is her passion and dedication. She doesn’t just look after our little one; she understands her, supports her development, and helps her thrive. As a first-time mum, I’ve often turned to Marcia for advice, and I honestly believe she knows our little one better than I do sometimes! The biggest testament to how happy our little one is in her care is that she often doesn’t want to leave at pick-up time. That says everything!

Marcia has become a household name for us, she’s not just a childminder, but a part of our extended family. Both my husband and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and we can’t imagine a better person to help nurture and support our daughter.
