I wanted to take a moment to share my wonderful experience with Marie, who has been an absolutely fantastic childminder for my daughter. Marie showed so much love and care towards my little one, and it was truly heartwarming to see how happy my daughter was every time she came back home. She was always clean, tidy, and had a belly full of delicious food.
Marie and her team have created such a warm and nurturing environment. My daughter learnt so much during her time at Marie's, including good manners, independence, and how to interact with others. It was truly a joy to see her grow and thrive in such a supportive setting.
It broke my heart and brought tears to my eyes when I had to take my daughter out due to our move. The bond she formed with Marie and her team was incredibly special, and I will always be grateful for the positive impact they had on her.
Without a doubt, I would 100% recommend Marie's childminding service to anyone looking for a loving and dedicated team to care for their children. Marie and her team always have smiles on their faces and create a cheerful atmosphere for the kids.
On a final note, I am eagerly looking forward to my son starting with Marie. I am confident that he will have an equally wonderful experience and receive the same level of care and attention.

Marie has looked after my son, Ezra, with exceptional care, and we have loved it there since our very first visit.
Marie is an outstanding professional who has truly made a difference in Ezra’s life. He flourished during his time with her, as she is not only highly skilled but also incredibly nurturing. Her home became Ezra’s second home.
Every time we left him in her care, we went to work with complete peace of mind, knowing he was safe, happy, and well looked after.
Marie also supported us through the process of securing additional help for Ezra with SALT, for which we are incredibly grateful.
Sadly, after 19 wonderful months with Marie, Ezra moved on to a school nursery. However, the positive impact she had on him will always stay with us.
Thank you Marie and Mhawi.

Thank you so much Luisa.
It’s such a pleasure working with you and your child is adorable.
Really appreciate your kind gesture and support.
Take care
I would like to thank you so much for raising my son from when he was 1 years old till 4 years now. You have taught him alot of things that have contributed to his self esteem and confidence in everything he does. I have witnessed you treating all kids including mine in your care like your own and that's why my son is always excited coming to your place, it's his second home. Your place is kid friendly, with a nice outdoor space for them to play and Freddie is going to miss it. Since we are starting reception, Freddie is going to miss you alot, we are going to miss you alot as a family too but we are very grateful for your support especially the fact that have been absent whilst studying but you filled that gap. Your truly a blessing from GOD for our children. May GOD bless you and your family always and may you never lack. Am so glad I found you on this platform. Thanks 🙏

Marie was able to take my son at short notice and was very flexible. The house is very clean, light and spacious and has lots of activities for the children to do. My son always said he had a good day and was happy to go back.

Maria, am so grateful and happy with the care and support you have offered my son since he was 1 year old. You have taught him alot, his confidence has developed, his speech too, he knows how to express himself now yet he was shy before . You potty trained him, now he has improved regarding potty training. He loves your place and is always excited knowing his coming to your place. You treat all children like your own, I will forever be grateful. My son is 3 years old now, you can see how far his grown and improved on so many things since he was 1 years old. Keep doing this job because you are one of a kind. Thanks for always listening to my suggestions and advising me on so many things being a first time mum.

Dear Marie!
Thank you very much for the kind and most uplifting words from the children, your staff and above all yourself. We are truely grateful and humbled by your support and expertise to Nyaradzai's care since she started accessing your services last September. You exhibited unconditional positive regard, love, care, exceptional attention, compassion respect and dignity to our daughter.
Nyaradzai came to you with barely 4 teeth, sitting and not doing much for herself. You supported us through the most difficult time of weaning a baby, cradled and showered us with kindness. She left as an experienced toddler with a lot to share with others and to be admired in all aspects of development even with delayed speech.
This has been a very difficult and painful decision to move Nyaradzai on. We have been open about her delayed speech highlighted by professionals and recommendations made. No fault can be apportioned on anyone as the Corona pendemic has impacted on most toddlers adversely. Nyaradzai is one of many.
The Twinkle Totzs have commented on Nyaradzai's social interactions ability (singing queen) , confidence, impeccable behaviour and manners. We shall not take no credit to that as this would not have been possible without your help.
We miss you all so dearly. Nyaradzai is starting Speech And Language Therapy (SALT) on Monday 4th November 2021. We hope for the best

Thank you so much Elisabeth
It was with great sadness to see Nya go although it was in her best interest.
I will never forget your honesty and kindness.
And those large fruit basket are now missed by the children 😜
Take care of yourself and all the best 🙏
My son has been going to Marie for the past 1.5 years now. Words can’t describe how lucky I am to find someone like marie who’s give so much time to my son who was always anxious to leave home. Marie has so much patience and today my little man just wants to go to her. That has become his second home and us as a parent we can’t thank her enough for all her hardworks. She’s the best and she will never disappoint you. I would 100% recommend her because she is amazing in what she does. Thank you marie

Marie has been collecting our 6 year old from school since he first started in reception two years ago & he simply loves being there. It is a very caring environment - all the children get along very well. They are encouraged to treat each other well & play wonderfully. My son receives a freshly home-cooked meal which he enjoys. He receives help with homework & is encouraged to read. In General, Marie & her team provide a wonderful warm, safe place. We are so glad we found her.
