Margaret Ann

Excellent childminder

My DD was with Margaret Ann full time before and after school from reception until year 6. I cannot recommend Margaret Ann and Gary's enough.
They were always caring, helpful, and accommodating, ensuring that my DD felt safe and supported. They go above and beyond i.e. celebrating each child's birthday and making them feel special. They have excellent relationship with school and they always reported back to us if anything was raised regarding DD. Margaret Ann and Gary have been an invaluable part of our lives, and I am incredibly grateful for all they’ve done for our DD.

Thank you Aga
It has been a pleasure for both of us to look after your DD and see her grow from a lovely little girl to a wonderful young lady! Good luck at secondary school and we will look forward to hearing all about it as we continue to pick up and look after your other DD

Great Childminder

Margaret-Ann looked after my daughter for 3.5 years, more recently with Gary too. My daughter grew in confidence going to their setting, she was always well looked after and always had lots of stories to tell me about her great day with them. Margaret-Ann knew my daughter well and ensured each child's needs were met and treated them as individual children not just a number. They arrange many activities throughout the year and make a real fuss when it is someone's birthday, my daughter loved this. They also have a wide range of games for indoor and out door play. We have left Margaret-Ann and Gary with many great memories.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Margaret-Ann and Gary.

Hi there KC1
Thank you for your lovely review! It has been a pleasure looking after you beautiful daughter over the last years! It has been great to see her grow from a lovely little toddler into a beautiful young lady! She is a real credit to you.
We have had some fun times especially in the school holidays with trips to the seaside and parks and fun in the garden and we look forward to seeing her growing up as we continue to see her on the school run
Kind regards

Home from home

Margaret is an absolute amazing childminder. My daughter LOVED going to Margaret’s house. Margaret provided a safe environment with numerous activities to keep my daughters mind stimulated. She helped support my daughters confident worries and provided a ‘home from home’ abode. In addition she always provided a nutrional meal and encouraged my daughter to try new tastes.

Amazing

Margaret Ann and Gary have looked after my son and daughter for the past 7 years, my son has just stopped going as he has started Year 7 this year. My daughter is still with Margaret Ann and Gary's she has been with them since she was a year old. My children absolutely loved going there and were very happy at Margaret Anns, she is truly one in a million and cares for every child in her care as if they were her own. I couldn't have asked for a better childminder she is always doing something fun with them and her home is set up for children to learn and have fun at the same time, my children have come home with many pictures and models throughout the years. Margaret Ann and Gary are two of the nicest people you could meet. If you are lucky enough to get a space with them go for it, you won't regret it.
