If you want a childminder who genuinely cares about your kids then Margaret is the best person that fits that description. She's very accomodating, treat yor child like a family and that extends to the parents too. She has been there for me time I was stressing a lot due to work schedule, my daughter's school pick ups and drop off's.A good friend of mine mentioned and recommended Margaret to me. Luckily she accepted my daughter even with a short notice with some adjustments to be able to accomodate us. Thank you so much Margaret!

Thankyou for such kind words Hannah has been a pleasure to care for and such a lovely girl and is a credit to you.
My two little ones have been going to Margaret for around a year and a half now and they absolutely love her. She is great with all ages and my kids have always been happy and comfortable going there. I felt at ease with Margaret from the first day my 3-yo and 8-yo were looked after by her and she has always been so kind to our family. Margaret is more like an extended family member to us than our childminder and the kids always say they miss her when we’re not there. She is reliable and has been lovely and flexible whenever we’ve had to change or move around days due to work etc. I think any child would be lucky to have Margaret looking after them and in their corner.

Thank you so much for kind words I always say they are my little angels and have settled in so well.
I asked my five year old what he thought of Margaret's service and he said very enthusiastically '"Good! Good! Good!" and "She is fun to be with".
I asked my partner the same question and he said "From the second she opened the front door I could tell she has a heart of gold."
Margaret is reliable, kind, professional and fair at all times. We've juggled a lot of different solutions for childcare over the years, it has been a challenge to keep full time working hours, and Margaret has been a refreshing and reliable support to us. I would not hesitate to recommend her!
