Where do I start! My little boy was 8 months old when he started going to Maria's. I knew as soon as I met Maria (and her mam, Cath who is Maria's assistant after years of being a childminder herself) that it was the perfect person to look after my baby. Maria's house is equipped with so many learning materials, interactive and sensory toys and a huge garden with lots of activities to stimulate their little minds. Elijah loves going to see Maria and his little friends and always has stories to tell me and creative artwork to show me. His social skills are fantastic as well as his communications skills and his general development which I credit Maria playing
a large role in. The children are fed healthy meals and do physical activity through play and outdoor visits to the parks and museums. I've chosen to leave Elijah in Maria's childcare rather than send him to school nursery as her passion and care she gives to the children is amazing and he's very happy there. I would thoroughly recommend Maria, she is completely trustworthy, caring and a genuinely lovely person.
