Marie cared for our first son as his childminder from the age of 4 months to until he was 18 months when her family moved to Barking and he is now cared for by her lovely daughter who is fortunately for us a childminder too.

We couldn't express fully how wonderful Marie is with the children in her care. Her experience, diligence, proffessionality, qualifications, varied activities (which are age relevant, educational and fun) and most of all the safe, loving home environment she provides are second to none.

Our son has thrived and we credit Marie as being a huge reason for why we now have such a happy and confident little boy.

We had issues with undiagnosed allergies which Marie not only supported us with achieving the right medical attention but with the managment of them after.

I can't imagine that leaving your child with someone is ever easy at first but Marie ensured that the settling in process was managed to suit both my husband and I and my son (who far from protesting settled in from the start). It took no time at all for us all to feel completely comfortable.

Marie communicates with her parents easily and effectively both verbally and through the induvidual, daily diaries she keeps.

I would recommend Marie in a heartbeat and say that any child would be privileged to experience her care.
