'Outstanding' childcare

Reviewed

My daughter Freya has been cared for by Maria since she was sixteen months old, she is now seven which shows how much I am confident about the standard of care Maria provides. When asked what she thinks about Maria Freya says "I think she is brilliant" and I agree!
When Freya was little she benefitted from the vast range of toys and activities provided by Maria to help her learn and enjoy herself. I have an abundance of cards, models, pictures and presents she has made for me over the years and a daily diary that helps me feel I haven't missed any of Freya growing up. Maria also creates a scrap book of the themed activities the children complete relating to the seasons of the year.
Maria provides good quality balanced meals for the children and snacks and drinks. Freya was born with food allergies and I have always been confident that Maria would ensure she did not have anything that she should not have - thankfully Freya grew out of her allergies and is now happy to eat everything she is given by Maria.
Maria is supported by her mother Cath herself a Registered Childminder, Peter her father, a retired Head Teacher and her husband Terry, a Police Officer. They are all extremely positive with the children and parents too.
Freya has become part of their family and I wouldn't want it to be any other way. As a single parent who works full time in child protection I value the care and support given to us both by the family. Freya now goes to Maria before and after school and full-time during school holidays and has become firm friends with Maria's children and frequently plays with them at weekends.
We cannot recommend Maria highly enough for peace of mind for busy parents.
