Marie took care of my daughter for a year.
She is very patient, caring and flexible. My daughter loved spending time with her and was very happy.

Our 2 year old has been with Marie for 19 months now, full time and we cannot praise Marie enough. The location is brilliant for those in the Wroughton or Witchelstowe area with a really quick and easy drive to drop off and pick up. Marie will go above and beyond to ensure your childcare needs are covered. Our 2 year old loves going and is always happy at the end of the day. Marie ensures a variety of activities throughout the week, visits to local parks, local toddler group, play dates with other childminders and their children and trips to KidsAbout. We would highly recommend Marie to others searching for a childminder.
