My Summary
About Me
If you are looking for a childcare service that puts your child first, allows your child to experience a fun and exiting approach to learning in a safe and friendly environment and cares about the growth and development of your child then give me a call.
My name is Marta and I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I was graded OUTSTANDING in 2016 and again at my last inspection in July 2022.
I offer a warm, professional and friendly childminding experience based in Rooksdown, Basingstoke.
I believe that my role is to provide a safe, stimulating and caring home- from- home experience with lots of cuddles and attention for all children in my care. I offer a variety of home and community based activities, designed to educate and entertain differing age and social abilities of the children within my care.
My Experience
I have plenty of child care experience.
MOST OF ALL I have been a childminder for 10 years and in this time I have cared for many children all with their own unique needs and requirements.
I also have my own children and providing stimulating activities for them and seeing them succeed give me a great deal of pleasure and confidence that I can do it for other children.

I trully believe that we were very fortunate to find Marta as a childminder to our 1.5yo daughter.
After being disappointed year after year by one of the top chain nurseries in the area for my eldest son, I took time to re-visit all other nurseries and childminders available, reviewing in detail what they are delivering compared to what they promise, as well as how their stuff looked at the end of the day (most of them were simply overworked).
Finding Marta therefore ticked all the boxes for us from the first introduction visit - she was incredibly inviting and friendly, so much so that our daughter went to her without a single tear and had thw most relaxing settling ever since, always looking forward to go to her even now, after 2 years of attending her setting.
She is very creative, engages kids in cooking, exceptionally tidy and supportive with their development in all areas, whether it be imagination, speech development or logical thinking.
It is always very pleasing to read her quarterly reports as they are always on point, with accurate goals set for next quarter. My daughter has grown so much within her setting, especially emotionally for which I'm especially grateful to Marta.

The quality of Marta's childcare is absolutely fantastic! My son Andrey has been going with her 5 days a week for over a year and he absolutely loved every moment with her and the other children.
Marta sent photos of the activities which are so varied and well thought, Andrey was excited, stimulated and well-looked after so I could focus on my work. She is patient, kind, and Andrey adores her.
Absolutely fantastic childminding!!

When our first born arrived we decided when I would return back to work we wanted her to go to a childminder over a nursery. Being the first born, I wanted to make sure she was in a home from home. On meeting Marta we knew straight away that this was where we wanted to send our daughter. This was in 2018 and she’s been in Martas setting since. We were fortunate enough for Marta to have space and now our son has been with her since 2020.
Both children love going to Martas - in fact our son just runs in and doesn’t even look back. Marta provides us daily updates by pictures and quotes. She challenges both, makes sure they are always doing something fun and where possible spends a lot of time outside. During lockdown 1 our eldest wasn’t able to attend the setting due to us not being key workers. However Marta regularly checked in, and kept sending pictures of our daughters friends. She shared ideas to keep her busy and entertained. A testament to Marta is when we were allowed back how happy our daughter was.
Marta might be our childminder, but actually she’s an extension of our family. Our two children genuinely love her and her family.

Marta has looked after our little boy since he was 13 months, and will do until he starts school in September.
We have loved having Marta as a childminder for our son, she has, throughout, been encouraging, loving and supportive of our son. There are always activities planned for them, that engage their interests whilst also aiming at their level of development.
She has been has been amazing throughout our time of knowing her. She has adapted her work to support our son when there were some language development worries. She has been flexible in supporting me with childcare during times my work hours changed.
I cannot recommend Marta highly enough if you're looking for a childminder for your child.

Marta has been looking after my both kids since they were 11 months old. She is very considerate and does her best to accommodate parents' childcare needs. Initial days in 2015 when I started sending my daughter Sasha to Marta's care, I worked long hours in shifts and Marta very kindly arranged childcare routine around my shifts. I was worried about how Sasha will cope with separation from me but with Marta's care, settling in was very smooth.
She has a planned educational approach to the care she provides. She sends me photos of their activities everyday. She provides nutritious home cooked meals, age appropriate outdoor and indoor activities and personalised care. Both my kids were fussy eaters but they ate perfectly well at Marta's. Marta would chat with me everyday about their progress or concerns. I might sound biased, but I had visited few childcare settings (when Marta was going on holiday) but I have not found anyone who could live up to the high quality of care that she provides. Both Sasha and Ishaan are going to miss Marta dearly. Marta was like a part of our family for the past 6 years and we truly appreciate the love and care she has provided our kids all these years.
