Marina's Reviews

Trustful and knowledgeable

My little girl has been cared for by Marina since April and I couldn’t be more grateful for what Marina has done for our daughter.
This setting is second to none! The physical learning environment and resources are remarkable and are regularly enhanced to reflect the children’s interests and present learning. Marina is constantly striving for excellence and children now have free flow access to learning indoor and outdoors. Provision reflects the requirements of the Early Years Curriculum ensuring children have all necessary opportunities to develop and flourish.
The initial reason for wanting a childminder instead of a private day nursery is because we wanted a “home environment” for our child and felt a nursery would be to formal and institutionalised. With Marina, I believe children get the best of both.
My daughter has built strong bonds with Marina and her family. She honestly loves going there and looks forward to seeing her and all her friends.
Marina ensures I am fully informed of my daughter’s stage of development, I am informed of her strengths and next steps and together we work on these to ensure my child is making progress in all areas.
Communication between me and Marina is excellent. We use baby’s days app, whatsapp, emails and phone calls.
In addition, I like that Marina is incredibly flexible and accommodating, she goes above and beyond her role for the needs of the children and families she works with and is more than helpful if parents need additional days or hours than normal.

I couldn’t recommend Marina enough, for us it’s been the best decision we have made for our daughter so far.

Outstanding teacher

Marina was my daughter’s teacher at preschool. She also helped me with occasional babysitting as I really couldn’t trust anybody else.
The activities she organises are both educational and fun.
She really does her best, I could see all the kids loved her. They would run towards her and hug her.
I can’t be grateful enough for everything she did for my daughter. She grew up into such a well mannered, polite and kind little girl. Not only she learnt to read and count, but she also learnt to do the house chores. It was so fun to see her folding clothes, cleaning the table, taking care of plants, and so much more.
Unfortunately, Marina moved too far from us and we can’t get help from her anymore.
But I would definitely recommend her to any parent who needs peace of mind.
