I would highly recommend Marie, she is amazing. She looked after my oldest son who is now 10 and she has been looking after my youngest daughter for 18 months! She is amazing she does so much with the children she looks after always keeping them busy and giving them different activities to help develop a range of skills! Honestly anyone who is after a childminder go to Marie!! The kids love it there and she really helps them develop, as a parent you feel at ease and you know your children are well looked after and cared for. Marie always follows the children’s routines and helps with potty training etc honestly I couldn’t ask for anything more she goes above and beyond! Thank you Marie Eevie will miss you in September ❤️

My son Chester has been with Marie since was 10 months old. He is now 3 and he loves going to Marie’s! She had helped him with his development by providing different resources to bring home as well as doing different activities with him. She has supported him with taking his first steps, talking and potty training. He is so confident in his speech now and that’s all with Marie’s help. I would recommend anyone looking for a childminder to look at Marie!

Thanks so much I will miss him so much 😢
Marie is absolutely amazing. She has looked after both of my boys since my eldest was 12 months and my youngest 9 months. She has been more than a childminder- more like a friend and a second mum to the boys for the last 8 1/2 years. They have always wanted to go and have always been happily playing when I arrived to collect them. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to look after them when I returned to work.
Marie has not only provided activities at home but also taken them on days out and trips to the library. I really couldn't have been a working mum without her. The boys think highly of her as she develops a good bond with the children she cares for. I have no doubt she is the best and recommend her to any parents looking for a childminder on the area.

Two different childminders recommended Marrie to me, and I took their advice and met Marrie not long ago. Despite being a mother who will not decide easily in such matters, It did not take long before I decided to choose Marrie over other childminders and local nurseries, which I visited in the last two weeks or so. Marrie is extremely understanding and has a real sense of humor. I felt so comfortable talking to Marrie about any specific requirements I had. Although My son is normally shy, he felt so comfortable to approach Marrie, talk to her and express his feelings. I am going to start my son's weekly sessions with Marrie soon and will update my review accordingly...
