My daughter has been with Maria for 18 months now and I couldn't be any happier. My daughter loves Maria (MiMi) and the whole family and looks forward to going each week. Im putting my daughter into Nursery from September but also keeping Maria on for 1 to 2 days per week as-well. When i was looking for a childminder i was looking for someone right into my daughter being at school and when i met Maria i just knew she was the right person for my daughter and i. I also love the fact my daughter has such a variety of age group of children to interact with which i feel has certainly contributed to her development.
