We used Marisa for our 1st child and then 3 years later for our 2nd. Marisa has supported our family now for over 5 years and we could not recommend her enough. Home from Home feel, lots of playgroups and our children love her and her family. She has pets which is great, so much outdoor play and is more than flexible. We are sad to leave as its time to move up to pre school now but she will always be our go to should we get stuck. Thank you again as always!

Marisa I honestly could not thank you enough for looking after our beautiful girl.
I'm so glad we found u and anyone that send their kids to you, they have made the right choice.
Marisa has looked after our daughter from 9 months till 2 years and 4 months old. Drop off and pick ups were easy our daughter always came out smiling and talking about her children.
She was always well looked after and nothing was too much for Marisa.
If we have another baby. Your our NUMBER 1 :) thanks again.

Thank you so much.
I can't rate Marissa highly enough and the development our beautiful daughter has made speaks volumes. She has been extremely helpful when we have been in difficult situations, always going above and beyond what is required.
I understand what it's like to try and chose the right childminder and there are always worries associated, understandably.
I can see that someone has left Marissa a terrible review that has clearly been fabricated to fit their agenda, without realising the damage it can cause to Marissas livelihood. I couldn't disagree with the accusations any more if I tried. She has always been caring and attentive whenever I have turned up early and walked through to the back garden, which I often do.
Our daughter gets excited to go to Marissas and spend time with her daughters and the other children. She loves it there and feels safe, as do I sending her.

Marisa has cared for my 2.5 year old since she was 10 months old and we have seen her develop and grow continously. Both myself and my husband work full time with unexpected time away and she always remains flexible and supportive. My daughter has had several occasions when she has been unwell and Marisa has always taken extra care with her. She has worked safely throughout the pandemic and continued to provide up to date information and advice. My girl adores her children and will be sad to move onto Preschool next year.
