I met Lucie a few years ago when I taught her oldest son in reception. From the moment I met her I knew she was a fabulous parent - all the other children in the class loved her and her son and she was also popular amongst the other parents. Whilst teaching her son, I became pregnant myself and Lucie was the one and only person I had in mind to care for my own son and when I finished my maternity leave.
Leaving Marley with Lucie has been the best decision I have ever made! Marley loved Lucie and is treated like a member of her family. We are vegetarian and she accommodates this with her meal plans - learning about the nutrition he needs as a non-meat eater and providing healthy and delicious food for him. The activities she plans for the children in her care are fun and engaging - they spend as much time as possible outside enjoying nature and that is important for us, we want Marley to be active and develop an appreciation for nature instead of staying inside. Lucie also takes the children to local playgroups, parks and museums - they are out adventuring all the time, learning about new places and people.
My partner and I are both experienced educators and would highly recommend Lucie as a childminder. We trust her completely and love her and her family like our own.
