Honestly, we feel so blessed to have known Maria. My little one started seeing her so we can get driving lessons and ever since then, she’s literally one message away. With her, my heart is calm knowing that my child is in safe hands. And it is the best feeling ever. Beyond grateful for what you do, Maria!

Maria has been looking after my 7yo Son since Easter during School holidays. Thomas gets on really well with Maria's lovely Daughter and they play all day in the garden, especially their big trampoline. Maria has been so welcoming and my son loves to go to her house, and mix with her family and other children. Maria provides updates and is always friendly. Her flexibility makes life so much easier, and I hope that my son goes to her house many more times in the future!

Since the very beginning, Maria has been available, attentive and arranging. Not only her skills as a childminder are outstanding, she has been able to create a trustful relationship with me and my son, based on an excellent communication. She has been able to sense how to approach us, considering needs, and putting everything in place to offer the best quality service. There is so much joy and life at Maria's, I knew my son would be happy and safe there. I can only and highly recommend Maria.

Maria has been the perfect fit for our family. We’d never used childcare for our 18 month old son before, so we were naturally anxious about starting to use a childminder. Maria immediately put us at ease, and our son has just the best time with her. He looks forward to going and is always sad to leave. Maria sends fabulous photos and updates throughout the day, which we love! We can’t recommend Maria highly enough.
