I cannot explain how grateful we are that our son has been in Marie’s care. From the first day he started, he has never once moaned about going. He is happy everyday to get up and go, he absolutely loves all the activities they do each week, park trips, walks in the woods, library singing, allotment, and trips to different locations. Our son has grown into the kindest and most empathetic boy, his manners are amazing and I truly believe a lot of this is from his time with Marie and Stuart. Marie provides so much fun, laughter and wonderful care to all the children she looks after, it has been the absolute best decision and I wish all my children could of experienced Marie’s setting as I feel the experience has been invaluable for my sons development, he is more than ready for his next adventure at school however we are devastated that he is going to leave Marie’s. Marie’s setting is beautiful, an amazing mix of playroom setting whilst retaining the homely feel. Marie has also been great at supporting our son to try new foods that we have packed for him.
I would highly recommend Marie to anyone who is seeking a high standard of care and fun for their little ones.

My daughter started with Marie when she was 7 months old & my son when he was one, and not only has Marie given them the best experiences, she has supported us as first time parents and given us so much advice and guidance in dealing with the more testing times.
The kids have the best times and they have the best friendship group ready for the next step of school.
I just couldn’t thank her enough for everything she has gone for all of us. So much more than a childminder.

Marie has been looking after our daughter since she was 10 months old. Marie is very experienced and knowledgeable about all aspects of child development and care. Marie has been fantastic at supporting us as new parents with our daughter's upbringing and development, esp. with sleep and weaning.
Marie provides a warm homely environment where our daughter is cared for as part of the family. Marie undertakes lots of varied activities with our daughter and goes well beyond what I'd expect from any childminder. Marie obviously loves looking after children and loves to nurture their development.
Marie keeps a detailed diary of our daughters daily activities and developments, including lots of lovely pictures. Our daughter often comes home with craft work she has undertaken with Marie's support.
Marie has a really well equipped play room and spacious garden. Her home and family are very welcoming and really do treat our daughter as part of the family. Marie serves home cooked meals which are varied and nutritious.
It has made it so much easier to return to work knowing that our daughter is well loved, cared for and her development nurtured within a warm, friendly, family atmosphere.
