We have known Marie for three years. She has been looking after our children, aged 2 and 4, for four days a week during this time, and will now be collecting our eldest son from school.
Marie provides an outstanding level of care for our boys. She is caring, kind and extremely considerate of the children's needs, personalising activities to suit their interests so they are engaged as soon as they walk through the door! They have enjoyed a large range of activities and many day trips such as going strawberry picking and visiting a fire station. Our boys have loved every minute and all these wonderful moments are recorded in the beautiful portfolio she creates for each of them.
Marie also goes to great lengths to teach the children important skills such as writing and counting. Our eldest son has learnt to write his full name and is really confident with his numbers all of which are down to Marie.
Marie is highly organised and provides a daily feedback sheet which gives an overview of the boys' day detailing what they have eaten (which is always very nutritious - we strive to replicate it at home!) and what they've been doing. Marie is also shows great creativity, showing the children's art work throughout the house in stunning displays and changing these in line with the seasons.
Marie takes great pride and care over her work and it's clear that she genuinely loves her time with the children. It's also very clear why she was awarded an outstanding from Ofsted.
Our boys have a very strong attachment to Marie and always look forward to seeing her. We are extremely grateful for the exceptional care she gives them and would highly recommend her.
