My Summary
Maria’s Childminding
About Me
Hello, my name is Maria, and I am an experienced childcare professional registered with Ofsted.
I bring over 12 years of experience working with children and am a qualified primary school teacher specialising in Early Years Education, with a strong understanding of how young children learn, play, and develop.
I offer a warm, nurturing, home-from-home environment where children feel safe, happy, and supported to grow in confidence through fun, engaging, play-based learning.
I have two children who are my world: Callum (9) and Denny (1), and we would love to welcome little ones into our happy, caring home, where every child is valued as part of the family.
I am passionate about building strong partnerships with parents and providing high-quality care tailored to each child’s individual needs. We spend most mornings out and about, enjoying activities such as playgroups, visits to the park, trips to the farm, and exploring the woods.
I understand how important it is to find the right care for your little one, and I strive to create a safe, stimulating, and loving environment where children can thrive.
If you are looking for childcare from September 2026, please feel free to message me for availability.
I can also offer wraparound care for Orrell St James and Newfold schools, as well as weekend babysitting if required.
