I had to take my daughter to work with me in Bristol at short notice (we live in the North West) and looked for childminder local to the conference I was working at. Marcia agreed despite it being an unusual request - and taking a child on for a single day can be disruptive for the minder and the other children.

My daughter had a great day, and the experience was very easy. Marcia's house is like a little school and the other children were absolutely delightful. Marcia was so warm, welcoming and understanding. My daughter made great friends with a little girl and boy about her age, and had no problem settling in the morning. Communication was very clear and excellent.

I strongly recommend Marcia to people in a similar situation - who might be visiting Bristol for a short course or conference, or who are looking for one-off care. Hotwells is very central and close to the city centre, Clifton and the University. She is highly experienced, and I never doubted that my daughter would have a wonderful time. Thank you Marcia!
