My Summary
Childminder & 2 Assistants
About Me
I am an OFSTED approved Childminder with 2 assistants working 50% from home and 50% from Angel Room @ Christ Church Highbury with 5+ years of experience.
Open 5 days a week, 47 weeks a year, between 8.30-5.30pm, we are a medium
sized setting with 6-9 children attending each day. Fees include daily lunch and cooker dinner, snacks, nappies, wipes and outings. We have get togethers for the families to socialise with us and each-other including Halloween, Christmas, Easter, annual Sports Day and Summer BBQ. We also offer school collections and/ or school holiday cover for age 3+.
We split our time between the house, our large rented nursery room at Christ Church and going on outings. We have a large selection of indoor and outdoor toys, in our setting and gardens. We also do weekly baking, arts and crafts and messy play activities. Term-time we love to stay local and make the most of what Highbury has to offer including the parks, library, playgroups, forest-school, cafes, soft-play, and music groups. In the school holidays we love to venture a bit further and utilise public transport to visit museums, cinemas, farms, trampolining and other activities outside of the area.

Marina has cared for my almost-2 year old boy since he was a baby. She has created such a fun and stimulating environment and he absolutely loves going to her. She is very caring and calm. She has a great variety of indoor and outdoor toys, and a fantastic outdoor covered play area. She does all sorts of different creative and active play with the children and provides a nutritious and varied diet.
She has always been very flexible and accommodating, and has written detailed reports about our son’s progress which we love to read. Basically, we couldn’t ask for anything more from a childminder, and we will miss her very much when we move away from the area.

Highly recommend Marina and her setting which includes a great outdoor space, partly covered for outdoor play on a rainy day! There's a good variety of toys indoor and out. Marina has a loving, caring attitude towards the children and she shows a real interest in promoting my son's individual development, which i receive regular updates on.
The setting is close to playgrounds and a nature reserve so the children have access to a good variety of outdoor activities and adventures, encouraging physical exercise. Meals are healthy and varied and my son has been introduced to new flavours as a result.
Marina has also been flexible and accommodating, changing the time of my son's sessions to suit his sleep patterns soon after he started with her (he currently does half days) and also, when i have needed to change the occasional day.
Another reason i chose Marina was because she has a gentle Golden Retriever and this breed of dog is well known for it's calm nature around children. As we cannot have a pet dog where we live and my son shows a real interest in animals, i am happy that he gets to spend time around Marina's gentle, kind natured boy-Toffee the dog!
Most importantly, my beautiful son is safe, happy and excited to go to Marina's, often not wanting to leave when i collect him!

My 1 year old has been going to Marina part time and I could not be happier. I feel totally at ease leaving my daughter with Marina who has a brilliant outdoor space as well as plenty indoor activities as well. Marina is very patient and provides comfort and fun for the kids.

Marina is great and amazing with children. She puts so much into the days and ensures they are learning and developing. My daughter loves going and has grown loads in confidence. Would highly recommend.
