I was visiting Bristol from the US for one week with my toddler and needed a daytime childminder for the weekdays. I connected with Marcia through childcare.co.uk after reading good reviews and she absolutely lived up to our expectations and more! She has a lovely way with kids, very laid-back and yet authoritative. I knew immediately upon meeting her that she would be perfect for my daughter especially as we were only there for a short time. Marcia exudes warmth and caring but at the same time perfect confidence and a no-nonsense attitude. Her home is tidy and organized and yet full of fun and appropriate playthings. She accomodated our schedule even though that meant some after-hours and off-days work. I really appreciated her help and can not recommend her highly enough. I would imagine that a child staying with her long-term would form a life-long bond. Marcia is an impressive lady; I would have loved to have spent more time getting to know her.
