We feel very lucky to have Motia looking after our two sons. She has been amazing from day one, always friendly and reliable!
The boys love Motia and look forward to the days she collects them from school. Her house is always filled with laughter and Motia's family are very kind.
She takes the boys to the park after school, or they play at her house in a beautiful, dedicated playroom and lovely big garden.
Motia is very flexible which has saved me many times when my train was delayed/ cancelled.
We would highly recommend Motia as a childminder, she is just wonderful 🧡

Our little boy started with Motia at just 1 years old and although I was anxious to leave him and go back to work Motia made me instantly feel at ease to leave him. She treats him as if he's her own and you can see she has built a really good bond with him and cares for him so much. Her house is so spacious and very clean with lots of toys, plenty of opportunities to learn and a lovely garden. My little one absolutely loves going to her and gets excited whenever we pull up to her house- she is very gentle, loving and caring of each one of the children she looks after. My little boy has learnt so much since going to her and progressed so much in such a short space of time. We will miss her so much when my little one goes to preschool after building such a good relationship with her and her family, we have already said we'd love to come back and visit 💙 we honestly couldn't have asked for anyone better!

We feel honoured to have Motia looking after our two daughters. She quickly established an amazing bond with both of them (even our "lockdown baby") and they absolutely adore her. Motia is a natural with children, and is genuine, kind, calm, professional, experienced and always smiling! Children flourish in her care with the love she shows them in a safe and nurturing environment. Our "lockdown baby" has grown so much more independent and confident with Motia's help and gentle understanding.
Motia takes them to different toddler groups, the park and other childminder's houses, so they have a lot of interaction with other children. They do crafts, messy play and water play in the garden. They have had great fun in the summer holidays going on trips to the splashpark and farm, and can't wait to go back the next day!
The whole family are kind and go out of their way to help. Motia is very reliable and adaptable, she has never had any time off with illness and has always accommodated last minute changes with a smile.
We feel so blessed that they are safe and loved in Motia's care. We can not recommend her highly enough.

We would highly recommend Motia as a childminder, our 2 year old son was very happy with her. She provides varied activities to the children that she cares for, including crafts, outdoor play and feeding the birds, trips to the park and toddler groups. I found Motia to be very flexible and accommodating with day or time changes when my work hours changed. We were looking for a home-from-home, kind and caring setting for our son's childcare, and found exactly that with Motia.

Motia is a fantastic childminder. She's been looking after my oldest boy since he was 11 months old (now 4), and my youngest since he was 12 months (now 18 months). Motia has so much love to give the children she looks after and has been so flexible to help me out when changes crop up. She is great at nurturing my boys and helping them to settle and they both love spending time with her and the other children. We also get photos sent to us regularly so we can see what the boys are up to. My oldest is now coming to the end of his time with Motia (as he will be starting school) and I know he's really going to miss her. Highly recommend.

Motia is a nice person. She has been flexible and supportive. My daughter has been going to her since 2018 and always wants to go to Motia. Her house is always tidy & clean, homely and nice family members. She takes my daughter to the park and other outdoor activities. My daughter is always happy going there and I am happy too. Motia has been a blessing to us.

Motia has been looking after my 3 year old daughter since February 2019, and also her older sister during school holidays.
I don't have a single criticism regarding Motia or the care she has provided, everything had been brilliant. She provides such warm and loving care for the girls, and you can see that she genuinely loves children. My girls are always excited to go to her house. She makes a lot of effort doing things with them, such as little art projects and picking fruit in the garden. The girls are always coming home with things they've made and drawings etc. I feel so lucky that we found Motia when we did, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.

My daughter and son have been with Motia for the past three years, and they have loved their time with her. Motia is so caring and kind, and really ensures a home from home environment. They've enjoyed her home cooked meals, enjoyed playing with the other children and felt so comfortable and happy there, which reassures me that they have been so well looked after. Motia has also been incredibly flexible over the past year accommodating childcare around my changing work patterns, which has helped me out so much. It's with sadness that they're leaving her due to school changes, but my children and I full recommend using Motia.
