We found Marianne on this website as we needed a childminder for our 10 mo son, while my husband and I raced in the Weymouth half iron distance event in September. We found Marianne trustworthy, energetic, positive and very easy going. We had not used a childminder before, especially out of town,(we live in Bristol) so we were a little nervous to begin with, however Marianne made us feel at ease the moment we met with her. She was very accommodating for our needs - especially as our race began early Sunday morning! She was willing to meet us at 7am and was flexible on drop off and even stayed to watch my husband cross the finish line! And take photos for us! We received a summary sheet of everything our son did for the day including sleep, eating and nappy changes. All information was clear and very thorough. We would not hesitate to recommend Marianne to anyone in need of a childminder in the Weymouth area and we would definitely use her services again- if only we lived closer!
