I found Marianne to be a wonderful child minder with very good understanding of the needs of my seven month old.. She encouraged appropriate play was able to be fully adaptable to his energy levels. She was able to provide me childcare at short notice and at antisocial weekend times. I felt very comfortable that my son was being looked after by an experienced child minder who had a genuine love and interest of children in her care. I fully intend to use her again in the near future.
