My Summary
About Me
I have been working as a Childminder for twenty three years with the previous experience of being a Nursery Nurse.
I work closely in partnership with parents to gain the best outcomes for your child delivering a more inclusive practice.
I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum from a play based approach which is mainly child initiated and adult led.
I provide a purpose allocated playroom which overlooks the large garden full of large play equipment and small outdoor toys, giving children a free flow of both areas to meet their individual needs.
My Experience
I have previously worked in pre schools and schools as a Nursery Nurse. For the last twenty three years I have worked as a childminder from home which I find very rewarding
Some mornings the children are taken into the local community (Library, Learning through play activity mornings, soft play areas, parks, farm, zoo, cinema, museums etc) to access other activities which provide children with the experience needed to support their learning and development in a fuller context.

Our time with Maria has just come to an end after almost 8 years. She has been the most wonderful childminder we could have wished for and has cared for, nurtured and educated our two sons beyond our expectations.
She has supported us through a diagnosis of ASD for our eldest son and has gone above and beyond for him. She has taken time to learn more about ASD, how she could adapt and support him and provided a safe and calming space for him.
Both of our sons have had the very best start in life with Maria and we’re so grateful for her.
It takes a lot to trust someone else with your children, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Maria. She really is one in a million ⭐️

Thank you so much. Missing the boys so much already xx
We first found Maria when our eldest son was 6 months old and were looking for full time childcare. We knew as soon as we met her that she was who were looking for. She made us feel comfortable and at ease, understanding the difficult transition of returning to full time employment after maternity leave. Maria still looks after our eldest son around preschool hours and also looks after our youngest full time, and we couldn't ask for a better childminder. We have complete piece of mind that they are in the best hands with her. She takes the children out every day into the local area and plans afternoon activies to engage and develop them. We receive updates throughout the day so we always know what they've been up to, and she really celebrates their achievements with us. It's not very often you come across someone who is as good at what they do as Maria is. She has and continues to be a fantastic support to our family and we couldn't wish for anyone better to look after our children.

Maria has been childminding my two children for three and a half years. When they started with her they were five and a half months and 4 and a half years old.
Maria has provided excellent care to both of my children from day one and made the transition from being at home with mummy to being with a childminder a very happy experience. Maria provides engaging activities for all children which are always lots of fun and fundamental in their development. Maria has always kept me updated with their day to day progress and made sure I did not miss any stage in their development by sending me pictures. She supported me with the babies routine and through milestones such as weaning, potty training and starting pre school. Maria has a lovely manner with all children in her care. She is kind, calm and patient with them and all children know what is expected of them but above all Maria has a loving, warm and caring approach.
I cannot recommend Maria enough, my children have been extremely happy and contented in her care and she has been an extended part of our family.
