Marina has cared for my little boy since he was 9 months olds, and as we enter in the final 4 months before he leaves to start school this September, I can honestly say it has been a joy to have such a caring and loving influence in his life. It's every mothers desire that her child is settled and happy when they head off to work each day and the last 3 years I have had just that.
I have watched my son progress and learn so much with Marina that I am confident that when he starts school he will have all the foundation skills to settle in and do well.
Throughout his time here, Marina has carried out seasonal or topical themes, including nature (the cater pillars to butterflies were great, I wasn't so keen on the stick insects but my little one enjoyed both). She is creative in her thinking and the activities she carries out are fun as well as educational.
I have always found the setting to be safe, tidy and clean as well as very inviting. The toys and equipment are plentiful, in good working order and well looked after. The garden is a safe environment for out door play. Marina's family are wonderful and my son loves all of them including the dog Charlie, who is the softest, most placid dog, who I know my son will miss terribly.
If you are wanting a child minder who is flexible, accommodating but most of all someone who will stimulate your child's abilities and imagination then look no further, I can not recommend more highly than Marina. The only thing you may find is, at home time your child wants to stay!
