I will love to recommend Marbi Montessori, affectionately known as Mimi, as an exceptional childminder who has made a profound impact on my daughter’s development. When my daughter first started going to Mimi, she was very anxious and nonverbal. However, under Mimi's care, she blossomed into a more confident and expressive child.
Mimi possesses a remarkable ability to create a nurturing and safe environment. She offered my daughter the time and kindness she needed, which helped her not only to feel secure but also to develop a love for playing with other children. It was heartwarming to witness my daughter begin to interact and engage with her peers, something we had struggled with before.
Mimi's attentiveness to my daughter's needs extended to her allergies, which she managed with exceptional care. I always felt at ease knowing that Mimi was vigilant in ensuring my daughter's safety regarding her dietary restrictions. This level of attention and care allowed my daughter to explore new foods in a safe setting. Thanks to Mimi's encouragement and expertise, she began to try different foods and became more curious about what she eats, overcoming her pickiness in the process.
For our family, Mimi has been a true blessing and an immense help. Her patience, kindness, and creativity have fostered an environment where my daughter could thrive.
We are incredibly grateful for the positive influence Mimi has had on our daughter’s life, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Marcela is an exceptional care provider. My son adored going to see her and the rest of his friends every day. He developed socially, emotionally and physically in her care. She has a gift for making children feel safe, seen and heard and can adapt her provision to allow them to flourish. You couldn’t find a better childminder.

My daughter has been with Marcela for over a year now and I couldn’t have found a more loving and caring childminder for her. She absolutely loves going to “Mimis house” everyday and has made friends for life.
When M started I was a little nervous but Marcela welcomed us in and set our minds at ease straight away. Not once did M cry when being handed over in the morning and is so much easier knowing she gets the care she needs everyday.
We get daily updates and photos of M as-well as reviews and plenty of artwork to put up on our walls.
M has come on leaps and bounds. Her physical, emotional and social skills are catered for and worked on every day with a huge thanks to Marcela.
The setting is clean and spacious with plenty of natural light and fresh air.
I couldn’t recommend anyone more then Marbi Montessori to look after your little one.
The first few years of life are so precious and important, Marcela is there with help and advice for us parents too!
We all love her to bits!!!
