My son (18 months old) has been going to Marcia 3 days a week for 6 months now. He took to her straight away and always goes to her when I drop him off without any tears and with a smile. Marcia is bubbly, energetic and warm with children. She does lots of activities with them outdoors (parks, feeding the ducks, going to the allotment, looking for things in nature) and also crafts and activities indoors. We have recently had a 'parents evening' discussing my son's development and it shows that she is observant and caring towards the children she looks after. Before my son first went to Marcia she helped him to 'wean' by meeting him a couple of times. She also sent me photos in the first couple of weeks to let me know that he was fine and enjoying himself. Marcia has boundaries and routines, which make my son feel safe. He enjoys being with the other children and they have built a lovely relationship together. My son is happy and feels safe with Marcia so that makes me a happy mummy!
