My son started with Marie when he was around 17 months old and this was my first experience of leaving him in childcare. It was without a doubt the best decision we made to leave him in Marie's care, she is incredibly experienced as a childminder and has all the energy, love and support for each and every child. I recently changed his childcare arrangements as I'm now on maternity leave with my second child and the hardest part was saying (a temporary) goodbye to Marie - he still asks me now if we can go to 'Marie's house'.

I would highly recommend Marie to anyone looking for childcare for their child, particularly if this is the first time the child will be left in care. Marie has a warm and inviting home and keeps them all happy and entertained with the daily visits to playgroups, soft play, farms and much more.

She has also provided so much support when it comes to teaching good manners, learning how to eat with a fork/spoon, language development and even potty training. We all miss her very much!
