Mary was recommended to me by a friend and as soon as my son (2yrs old at the time) and I met her, we knew she was the right choice. My son settled in straight away and I instantly felt at ease leaving him with her. I was given full updates on everything he had done and eaten throughout the day and always felt comfortable asking her advise on his development etc.

Mary has a lot of energy and is always busy with the children in her care, taking them to groups, soft play or simply playing and completing activities at her home. My son (who is now at school) was very sad to have left Mary's care and still asks to visit on occasion. Mary also contacts me to ask how my son is getting on at school. Her love for the children in her care, doesn't end when the parents come to pick them up. It goes a lot further than that.

I had no hesitation on contacting Mary again, when I was in need of a childminder for my second child (now 10months). Which I was delighted to hear she was able to take him.
Mary is not just a childminder, I would consider her a friend and like an auntie to my children.
I would recommend her to anyway without a doubt.
