I had to return to work after maternity leave and needed a safe space for my son who had just turned 2 a few month before. Finding Meriem was a dream come true. She is truly dedicated to looking after the children in her care and she does it always with a smile on her face. She goes above and beyond with the children's best interest at heart. Her house is always neat and tidy much to my amazement knowing how toddlers can be. She is just excellent all round.

As working mum, I found her accommodating and understanding when I could not make it back on time for pick ups. My son felt very comfortable, happy and always looked forward to drop offs. Being a picky eater Meriem accommodated his limited diet and gradually introduced him to other foods which we remain grateful for. On my sons birthday, she organised a party for him with the other children under her care. It was very heart warming to see everywhere set up with balloons, decorations food and drinks all at her expense. That's the sort of person she is, she would do anything possible to make the children happy and special.

She was very patient when we were goin through the potty training stage and her support was immense. I could go on and on about how amazing she is.

Now my son is much older and in big school but it would not have been easy juggling work and a toddler without Meriem. I would give double 5 stars if I could.
