Martine has been looking after my children for five years and I would not hesitate in recommending her. She has cared for each of my children from the age of 12 months. I was only happy to return to work knowing that my children were going to be in Martine’s capable hands. Martine is a warm, kind and friendly lady who is very experienced in looking after young children. She knows exactly how to make your child (and the parent) feel at ease in what is a challenging time, returning to work having been on maternity leave. Martine forms easy and lasting bonds with the children in her care who adore her and her husband Robert. Often my children ask to go to Martine’s even if it’s a day when they aren’t supposed to be there!

Martine’s care includes a mix of exercise in the fresh air outdoors as well as indoor activities such as visiting the library or free play in her home where she has plenty of educational toys; crafting activities and books to stimulate the children.

Martine’s setting is immaculately clean and tidy and she carefully looks after the children’s possessions making sure the children return home with everything they arrived with!

Martine ensures the children in her setting maintain high standards of behaviour, manners and kindness towards each other.

Martine keeps her parents fully updated with the children’s activities throughout the day via WhatsApp messaging and it’s a joy to see photos of your children having fun, often outdoors, during the day.
