Maria has been looking after our son Alex (1 year and 1 month old) and we couldn’t be happier.
After a difficult experience in a nursery environment that left Alex unsettled, we made the decision to remove him and place him with Maria. It has made such a positive difference.
Maria is warm, patient, and genuinely caring.
Alex has settled beautifully with her and now looks forward to his days. The setting is calm, clean, and safe, with a lovely mix of play, outdoor time, and gentle routines that suit his age perfectly.
Maria is excellent at communicating with us – we always receive clear updates about his day, meals, naps, and progress.
She has helped rebuild Alex’s confidence after the nursery experience and treats him with real kindness and understanding.
We feel completely reassured leaving him in her care.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Maria to any parent looking for a trustworthy, nurturing, and professional childminder.
Thank you, Maria, for everything you do for Alex.

Thank you so much for your beautiful words! It is an absolute pleasure looking after Alex, and I am so glad I could provide the safe, calm, and nurturing environment he needed to thrive. Seeing his smiling face and watching his confidence grow every day is incredibly rewarding. Thank you for trusting me with your lovely boy!
Maria took her time to get to know my daughter, to understand her and she was willing to let my daughter lead how well and fast she would get accommodated at hers. She was willing to do a longer and lengthy settling in period to suit my toddler. Maria has been very open about my requests and suggestions when and where I thought are better for my child and very accommodating. We are grateful she accepted my daughter to join the children she cares for and we hope she will be able to look after our second child well in the future. Overall as a family we are very happy, relaxed, calm and very pleased with Maria and her approach. Definitely recommend!!

Thank you for your feedback and appreciation, Monica. It's a pleasure to look after your little one, and I'm happy to have this opportunity.😊 x
Maria is a very kind, thoughtful and caring person. She is doing an amazing job with my son and she really seems to understand him.
Her home is very warm and welcoming. I can appreciate why my son loves going there and I love it when he brings back art work he has done there/or made home gifts.
I really recommend Maria and hope she continues to be my son's childminder for a long time to come. ❤️

Thank you so much for your appreciation and recommendation, Roxana♥️. I am happy to look after your son, he's a lovely little man!♥️
Maria was very kind and helpful to me. Her advice helped me to find the best care for my daughter.
Her voice is lovely, and the communication gives the reassurance to the parents that their child is well looked after while the parents are away. I will definitely recommend Maria as a best child minder.
