When our first born arrived we decided when I would return back to work we wanted her to go to a childminder over a nursery. Being the first born, I wanted to make sure she was in a home from home. On meeting Marta we knew straight away that this was where we wanted to send our daughter. This was in 2018 and she’s been in Martas setting since. We were fortunate enough for Marta to have space and now our son has been with her since 2020.
Both children love going to Martas - in fact our son just runs in and doesn’t even look back. Marta provides us daily updates by pictures and quotes. She challenges both, makes sure they are always doing something fun and where possible spends a lot of time outside. During lockdown 1 our eldest wasn’t able to attend the setting due to us not being key workers. However Marta regularly checked in, and kept sending pictures of our daughters friends. She shared ideas to keep her busy and entertained. A testament to Marta is when we were allowed back how happy our daughter was.
Marta might be our childminder, but actually she’s an extension of our family. Our two children genuinely love her and her family.
