Marie started looking after my son, and she was so incredible we took our daughter out of nursery so she could have the same days as him. She took every opportunity to nurture and teach them, with lots of arts and crafts and learning activities. She also regularly took them out for social activities such as playgroups.

Marie's communication was brilliant, keeping us updated on everything the children had been up to, and she was a pleasure to catch up with at the end of the day. Her expertise and advice were invaluable to us as we got support for our daughter's suspected Autism spectrum disorder. Her amazing attention to detail and organisation supported referrals, and she even attended courses to continue learning how best to support my daughter's needs. She researched and shared so much useful information and was always supportive of our family in every way. We would still be with her if we hadn't moved, and even now we will keep in touch as she has had such a meaningful impact on all our lives.

Her setting is lovely, with outdoor space for children to run around. The setting is so clean and her toy rotation and selection of activities kept them interested and helped both my children develop and flourish. Perhaps most important, she will take the time to understand your needs, and is always happy to discuss and to adapt her approach as needed.
