Maria is an outstanding childminder who is perfect in her role- the children all love her and she enjoys her job- this is obvious as soon as you go into the house. In particular, my son misses Maria when he doesn't go there...

If you want a friendly, nurturing environment, a caring minder, excellent communication and someone who isn't phased by anything childminding can throw at her, then Maria is the one for you!

I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I consider myself very lucky to have her caring for my son and can see how much he has developed into a confident, happy little boy under her care.
