I trully believe that we were very fortunate to find Marta as a childminder to our 1.5yo daughter.
After being disappointed year after year by one of the top chain nurseries in the area for my eldest son, I took time to re-visit all other nurseries and childminders available, reviewing in detail what they are delivering compared to what they promise, as well as how their stuff looked at the end of the day (most of them were simply overworked).
Finding Marta therefore ticked all the boxes for us from the first introduction visit - she was incredibly inviting and friendly, so much so that our daughter went to her without a single tear and had thw most relaxing settling ever since, always looking forward to go to her even now, after 2 years of attending her setting.
She is very creative, engages kids in cooking, exceptionally tidy and supportive with their development in all areas, whether it be imagination, speech development or logical thinking.
It is always very pleasing to read her quarterly reports as they are always on point, with accurate goals set for next quarter. My daughter has grown so much within her setting, especially emotionally for which I'm especially grateful to Marta.

The quality of Marta's childcare is absolutely fantastic! My son Andrey has been going with her 5 days a week for over a year and he absolutely loved every moment with her and the other children.
Marta sent photos of the activities which are so varied and well thought, Andrey was excited, stimulated and well-looked after so I could focus on my work. She is patient, kind, and Andrey adores her.
Absolutely fantastic childminding!!

When our first born arrived we decided when I would return back to work we wanted her to go to a childminder over a nursery. Being the first born, I wanted to make sure she was in a home from home. On meeting Marta we knew straight away that this was where we wanted to send our daughter. This was in 2018 and she’s been in Martas setting since. We were fortunate enough for Marta to have space and now our son has been with her since 2020.
Both children love going to Martas - in fact our son just runs in and doesn’t even look back. Marta provides us daily updates by pictures and quotes. She challenges both, makes sure they are always doing something fun and where possible spends a lot of time outside. During lockdown 1 our eldest wasn’t able to attend the setting due to us not being key workers. However Marta regularly checked in, and kept sending pictures of our daughters friends. She shared ideas to keep her busy and entertained. A testament to Marta is when we were allowed back how happy our daughter was.
Marta might be our childminder, but actually she’s an extension of our family. Our two children genuinely love her and her family.

Marta has looked after our little boy since he was 13 months, and will do until he starts school in September.
We have loved having Marta as a childminder for our son, she has, throughout, been encouraging, loving and supportive of our son. There are always activities planned for them, that engage their interests whilst also aiming at their level of development.
She has been has been amazing throughout our time of knowing her. She has adapted her work to support our son when there were some language development worries. She has been flexible in supporting me with childcare during times my work hours changed.
I cannot recommend Marta highly enough if you're looking for a childminder for your child.

Marta has been looking after my both kids since they were 11 months old. She is very considerate and does her best to accommodate parents' childcare needs. Initial days in 2015 when I started sending my daughter Sasha to Marta's care, I worked long hours in shifts and Marta very kindly arranged childcare routine around my shifts. I was worried about how Sasha will cope with separation from me but with Marta's care, settling in was very smooth.
She has a planned educational approach to the care she provides. She sends me photos of their activities everyday. She provides nutritious home cooked meals, age appropriate outdoor and indoor activities and personalised care. Both my kids were fussy eaters but they ate perfectly well at Marta's. Marta would chat with me everyday about their progress or concerns. I might sound biased, but I had visited few childcare settings (when Marta was going on holiday) but I have not found anyone who could live up to the high quality of care that she provides. Both Sasha and Ishaan are going to miss Marta dearly. Marta was like a part of our family for the past 6 years and we truly appreciate the love and care she has provided our kids all these years.

My son Callum went to Marta for just over a year and I was very happy the whole time Callum was with her.
Marta has a very calm and patient nature and my son was comfortable with her from the beginning.
The children are entertained in various ways, whether it be out walking in the forest, attending play group or get togethers with other childminders or baking and playing at her house. Marta sent me lots of lovely photos of all the different activities Callum was doing. Callum's development really came along in this year.
I highly recommend Marta if you are looking for childcare.

I am very pleased to send our 1 year old son with Marta. We felt very safe to send our son with her.
She is excellent childminder and very flexible. She takes care of our son very well.
She communicates very well and understands the needs of babies very well. She is very organised and plans very well.
She is definitely best childminder and I would recommend her strongly.

Marta took care of our son Maxim for a year before she moved to Basingstoke. We can see that Olivia’s parents (Maxim and Olivia were taken care of at the same time) have already left a review and we whole-heartedly agree with it.
I had to go back to work full time when Maxim was nearly 1 year old and as a first time Mum very anxious to leave my child. But the transition was painless. He got used to Marta and the children in her care quickly and already within a week we saw a difference in him. He learnt so many things in her setting and became a very confident child.
Our son was treated like part of the family and you could feel it when we came to pick him up. We liked it that Marta has a chat with us about the day and point some of the achievements and naughty things Maxim has done. This made it more familiar and as if talking to a relative rather than a person we employ.
Marta is not only very warm and gives you an instant feeling of trust but is also very professional and knows her field of work. This mix is rare as we noticed while interviewing childminders.
We are very happy to recommend Marta. Your child will have a fantastic time in her setting and will be well cared for.

Marta looked after our daughter Olivia from the age of 6 months for two years until recently moving away from London. We were so lucky to have found Marta who cared for our daughter in a truly outstanding way. It was very difficult for a first-time mother to leave her young baby in the care of another to return to work but Marta made the transition very smooth and our daughter was always treated like one of the family.
Marta is very energentic and does lots of crafts activities, exciting and well-planned trips and focuses on education and fun in the right amounts. Whilst our daughter was a baby Marta prepared daily care cards which was helpful to know what Olivia had eaten, when she'd slept etc. From the very beginning, Marta always sent a weekly photo diary of what the children had done and the best part of the week was to see what our little girl had been up to and try to guess where she had visited - can definitely say our daughter's been to many more museums in London than even we've managed!
It is my pleasure to recommend Marta to any prospective parents with young children.

I would like to recommend Martas childminding services . My 5 year old son was under Martas wings for 1.5 year . Very quickly she became like a new family member to us . She is very warm but this same time firm person . My son always was very happy to stay with her . Also her professional background was very helpful when she had to deal with different situations on every day basis . Smily, open and always happy to help , she is putting all heart into her work . I felt very safe and secure leaving my boy with her which was always my mine concern with other cares . Thank you Marta for looking after Janek in such a special way !
