I am very grateful to Lucia and Samantha for setting up a lovely environment for my son who attended the childcare for 3 years. During this time he was very happy and always came home with a smile on his face and much to tell. I recommend Magic Balloon to any parents, Lucia and Samantha are amazing along side with the team.
Thank you for your support throughout the years.

What can I say about Magic Balloon - I’m so lucky to have found them. Lucia and Samantha are incredible childminders. My son has been with them since he turned 1 - a year and a half later, he has thrived so much. They provide a warm, safe and loving environment which is filled with different activities on a daily basis, trips to local parks, messy play etc. They also provide a great nutritious menu. What sets Magic Balloon apart is the family-type feel (which is why we opted for them over a nursery) - the kids and the parents get on so well and everything feels so much more personal. I leave my son there without worry everyday - which is all I can ask for as a parent.

Our son has attended Magic Balloon since it opened in September. He was nine months old, we were and continue to be impressed with the
care and dedication of the Magic Balloon childminders. They have created a wonderful community which is the foundation for exploration and discovery. Our son has formed a wonderful bond and is developing friendships with the other children.
I would highly recommend Magic Balloon.
