Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
I would highly recommend Marta as a caring childminder who really enjoys her time with children in her care , makes their time enjoyable and help little ones to develop their creativity and imagination.
Marta clearly cares deeply for the children she looks after, creates a safe, happy and stimulating environment. I have always found Marta to be incredibly helpful supportive and would be very happy to recommend her to other parents seeking a childminder.

Thank you so so much xxx
My son has been going to Marta's for around 6 month and he absolutely loves it. Everyday he excitedly tells me about his day, Where's he's been and what he's been doing. He previous attended pre school and I feel he has progressed far better with in Marta's setting. Would definitely recommend :)
