Motia helped my son and myself in a really challenging time and my boy was really comfortable under her care.
I do recommend her.

We feel honoured to have Motia looking after our two daughters. She quickly established an amazing bond with both of them (even our "lockdown baby") and they absolutely adore her. Motia is a natural with children, and is genuine, kind, calm, professional, experienced and always smiling! Children flourish in her care with the love she shows them in a safe and nurturing environment. Our "lockdown baby" has grown so much more independent and confident with Motia's help and gentle understanding.
Motia takes them to different toddler groups, the park and other childminder's houses, so they have a lot of interaction with other children. They do crafts, messy play and water play in the garden. They have had great fun in the summer holidays going on trips to the splashpark and farm, and can't wait to go back the next day!
The whole family are kind and go out of their way to help. Motia is very reliable and adaptable, she has never had any time off with illness and has always accommodated last minute changes with a smile.
We feel so blessed that they are safe and loved in Motia's care. We can not recommend her highly enough.

We would highly recommend Motia as a childminder, our 2 year old son was very happy with her. She provides varied activities to the children that she cares for, including crafts, outdoor play and feeding the birds, trips to the park and toddler groups. I found Motia to be very flexible and accommodating with day or time changes when my work hours changed. We were looking for a home-from-home, kind and caring setting for our son's childcare, and found exactly that with Motia.

Motia is a fantastic childminder. She's been looking after my oldest boy since he was 11 months old (now 4), and my youngest since he was 12 months (now 18 months). Motia has so much love to give the children she looks after and has been so flexible to help me out when changes crop up. She is great at nurturing my boys and helping them to settle and they both love spending time with her and the other children. We also get photos sent to us regularly so we can see what the boys are up to. My oldest is now coming to the end of his time with Motia (as he will be starting school) and I know he's really going to miss her. Highly recommend.

Motia is a nice person. She has been flexible and supportive. My daughter has been going to her since 2018 and always wants to go to Motia. Her house is always tidy & clean, homely and nice family members. She takes my daughter to the park and other outdoor activities. My daughter is always happy going there and I am happy too. Motia has been a blessing to us.

Motia has been looking after my 3 year old daughter since February 2019, and also her older sister during school holidays.
I don't have a single criticism regarding Motia or the care she has provided, everything had been brilliant. She provides such warm and loving care for the girls, and you can see that she genuinely loves children. My girls are always excited to go to her house. She makes a lot of effort doing things with them, such as little art projects and picking fruit in the garden. The girls are always coming home with things they've made and drawings etc. I feel so lucky that we found Motia when we did, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.

My daughter and son have been with Motia for the past three years, and they have loved their time with her. Motia is so caring and kind, and really ensures a home from home environment. They've enjoyed her home cooked meals, enjoyed playing with the other children and felt so comfortable and happy there, which reassures me that they have been so well looked after. Motia has also been incredibly flexible over the past year accommodating childcare around my changing work patterns, which has helped me out so much. It's with sadness that they're leaving her due to school changes, but my children and I full recommend using Motia.

Motia has been an absolute blessing for our family - my daughter has been looked after by Motia on an almost full time basis since she was eighteen months old and she is now just over three. Motia has taken my daughter in as a member of the family, she is very kind and patient and always communicates very well with my partner and I. Motia is very genuine and honest and she is really passionate about looking after my daughter to the best of her ability. Motia has been very flexible and provides my daughter with healthy, home cooked meals. Motia takes my daughter out to a toddler group or the library more less every day and they also do lots of activities in the house and in the garden. Motia keeps a very detailed and well presented learning journal for my daughter and during a recent Ofsted inspection, the inspectors commented on the lovely bond that they share. Motia's family are equally lovely and also all care for my daughter very much. I could not recommend Motia more highly, my partner and I feel very lucky to have found her to look after our child.

Ever since my child has been with Motica she has been so happy, more respectful and homework always done. I would highly recommend her. I feel very comfortable at work knowing she is being well looked after
