Marianne has been a childminder to our son since he was 1 year old. At the age of 3 it is time for us to move on, but we are very grateful for Marianne's help and support over the years. First of all, we were very impressed with the number of activities our son could take part in and knowing that he had quality time during the day was very important to us. Marianne organised lots of outdoor trips such as trips to the museum, library, local farm, garden centre, play groups as well as indoor activities such as art projects. painting, reading etc. Marianne is very caring and our son loved spending time in her setting. She has contributed a great deal towards his developmental milestones including first steps, words, potty training and now transition to nursery. Thank you Marianne!
