Maria is an incredibly loving and caring childminder. She treats our daughter just like family and I have no worries while she is in Maria’s care. Our daughter absolutely loves her and settled very quickly. Maria has such a lovely and child-friendly home, and our daughter is free to explore and learn all day. Maria is always teaching her new skills and she really has an amazing understanding of child development. Our daughter is absolutely thriving with Maria and I couldn’t imagine her being with anyone else. I absolutely recommend Maria to anyone seeking childcare!

Maria has been absolutely amazing taking care of my one year old daughter. Her passion for children and their development through different activities is fantastic. She has a very special relationship with my daughter and as a result she has settled very well. Maria is as close and trustworthy as giving my daughter to my mom, I highly recommend her for her outstanding childcare experience.

We have been lucky enough to have Maria working with us in our home over the last few months and now our little boy has joined her childminder.
She is wonderful. She is so passionate about children and their development. She is so full love and enthusiasm for children’s learning and happiness.
We would recommend her to anyone!
