Marie's Reviews

We love Marie!

When I had to return to work after having my second little boy, we decided not to use the local nursery and to instead try a childminder.

I cannot stress enough how nice it is for my son to have this experience, and for it to be with Marie (and Stuart). The difference between a nursery setting and Marie's couldn't be greater; the children all go outside for little 'field trips' everyday, come rain or shine. Marie send plenty of pictures and videos daily, which I always look forward to seeing (far more photos than we ever saw of his brother in a nursery setting).

We are so happy with Marie's childminding that we are now sending our precious little girl to her when she's nine months old in September.

If you're looking for a no nonsense, common sense, happy, loving, home from home style setting then you should definitely get on Marie's waiting list! Every child that attends her setting is always so polite and well behaved, she looks after them but is also bringing them up to start their lives as well brought up members of our community.

Best childminder in Corsham!

My daughter started with Marie when she was 7 months old & my son when he was one, and not only has Marie given them the best experiences, she has supported us as first time parents and given us so much advice and guidance in dealing with the more testing times.
The kids have the best times and they have the best friendship group ready for the next step of school.
I just couldn’t thank her enough for everything she has gone for all of us. So much more than a childminder.

Excellent Carer

Marie has been looking after our daughter since she was 10 months old. Marie is very experienced and knowledgeable about all aspects of child development and care. Marie has been fantastic at supporting us as new parents with our daughter's upbringing and development, esp. with sleep and weaning.

Marie provides a warm homely environment where our daughter is cared for as part of the family. Marie undertakes lots of varied activities with our daughter and goes well beyond what I'd expect from any childminder. Marie obviously loves looking after children and loves to nurture their development.

Marie keeps a detailed diary of our daughters daily activities and developments, including lots of lovely pictures. Our daughter often comes home with craft work she has undertaken with Marie's support.

Marie has a really well equipped play room and spacious garden. Her home and family are very welcoming and really do treat our daughter as part of the family. Marie serves home cooked meals which are varied and nutritious.

It has made it so much easier to return to work knowing that our daughter is well loved, cared for and her development nurtured within a warm, friendly, family atmosphere.
