My little girl has been with Marisa for 2 days a week (now up to 3 days a week) since she was 18 months old. She was painfully shy, very very wary of strangers and very reluctant to talk having been born at the start of the pandemic and spent most of her life in lockdown. After 6 months with Marisa she was a different child. She thrived in the homey environment and benefitted so much from being taken to toddlers groups and getting the chance to interact with other children. She adores Marisa and is always very excited to go to her house. She is now a talkative and confident child who chats away about all her friends and is more than ready to start at pre school in September. Marisa was instrumental in bringing her speech along and now she’s learning her numbers and colours with her. Marisa always keeps me updated with photos through the day and will always call if there’s been any issue or to check if she can give her a particular treat. We’ll be so sad come September when it’s time for her to leave for pre school, but Marisa has assured me she is definitely ready for it!
