Marianne was my childminder when I was younger and when I had my own child I had no doubt in my mind who I wanted to look after him. As someone that has been in the care of Marianne and now as a parent who's child is cared for by Maz and Mike I can honestly say they are amazing. My little boy has been going for 2 years now and started at 9 months old and has grown into such a confident and clever boy and loves going every day.

I’ve used babydoll on and off for 15 years with my 3 children, I’ve got to say Maz and Mike are the best around, my kids like to throw a few spanner’s in the works occasionally but never fazes Maz or Mike, they just crack on!! Would 100% recommend these to anybody, you won’t be disappointed 👌👌

Our daughter has been attending here since she was under 1 years old, she is now nearly 6. We have had a pleasurable experience throughout this time and both Mike and Maz have been great with our daughter Sofia. They are both very experienced and provide a fantastic setting and service. 5 stars.

Highly recommend we had looked a few times about sending our daughter to a childminder but never did.
when she was 2 1/2 we realised she was spending a lot of time with adults and no other children so we started looking and we found Maz and Mike in may they answered any questions we had and let us visit them to see the setting and on that visit we knew it was the right setting as our daughter sat straight at the table colouring with the other children we wish we had done it sooner as our daughter loves going to them she has come on lots and normally cries when it's time to come home she loves it that much. They are very friendly helpful they helped support us with her toilet training and gave us a bit of advise which helped us a lot. she now eats better than she did before when all she would touch before was chips theres different menu every day
Maz and Mike make you feel like part of the family we would recommend them to anyone. Our daughter has gotten much more confidence since she has been going here.

Both my children have been looked after by Marianne and husband Mike. Back in 2009, I was looking for a childminder and spotted Marianne and Mike in my daughters school playground. Instantly I was drawn to them and made an enquiry. I really like the idea of a husband and wife team and have not been disappointed. I was very nervous about leaving my baby boy and worried about how my daughter would settle in. They not only took care of my children they cared about how I was too, recognizing my separation anxiety. Our children are great friends with their children as we are with them. You could not ask for anyone better to keep for your children and keep them safe while you are at work, and you can be sure that they will love and care for your children as though one of their own.
Forever grateful for everything you have done and continue to do as we approach 11 years of business but most importantly friendship.

Maz and Mike have been our childminders for seven years. They are always professional and my children are happy and secure with them. Aswell as providing a very reliable service Maz and Mike are brilliant role models for the kids. They do lots of activities and there are many stand out memories from bike riding to arriving on sledges in the snow. Many kids have been going long term so have become close friends with my own children. Highly recommended.

I have had all four of my children in the care of Marianne and her husband, Mike spread over 14 years now from being babies to toddlers and young children to teenagers. The care, love and dedication is second to none, especially with having a child with Aspergers. My kids have experienced more socialisation before school age than I could have ever provided with the various clubs and groups they take the kids to. They have had the chance to do things and explore learning through play which has helped nurture and develop my little ones greatly alongside what I could do at home.
Marianne and Mike have been accommodating of my various job/hours changes over the many years and the communication is always spot on, with the BabyDays website they use as a fabulous way to keep track of communications and important information, as well as being able to see photos and updates on my little ones development with ease. Nothing brightens your day or eases your worry more than a photo or two of your little ones having fun and enjoying themselves!!
My children feel more part of a family in the care of Mike and Marianne and I have put my trust as a mother in them to look after the most precious parts of my life, and for over 14 years now I have known my children were in safe hands and the best of care when I am at work. (And my little girl will never leave without a ‘kiss an’ a wug!’ every single day!)

I’ve used Maz and mike on and off for the past 12 years with my older son and then my daughter and baby. All my children have felt safe whilst being with mike and Maz, I’ve never had any issues over the years! I think that my children being in an home environment with other children has helped bring my children on Leaps and bounds! Mike and Maz are friendly amazing people would defo recommend 5***

My 9 year old son and 7 year old daughter absolutely love Marianne (Maz) and her husband Mike and going to their home after school on Monday. They are both absolutely brilliant with the kids and not only collect them from school but also give them a lovely snack and interact with them and educate them. Also if they have had a tough day at school like my son has today they show a genuine interest in making sure they are ok and discussing the day with them without being pushy or overbearing. I trust my children 1000% with them and their communication is brilliant. Keep up the amazing work.

Our son has been with Marianne and Michael's Babydoll childcare for the past two months prior to this he has not been into any childcare.
Marianne and Michael provide a home from home service which has helped our son to settle in quickly and happily. They have also provided us with regular updates.
What stood out to us was that Micheal interacts with the children on his way to school in an educational quiz he also continues these interactions in the setting through playing games with the children. They also both have high expectations of behaviour and manners. The setting and facilities are also immaculate.
This setting is definitely a fine example of a high standard and quality childcare facility and one which we will continue to use and recommend to others in the future.
