Maria has looked after both our children since they were one, and they have been very happy in her care.
We love that she is very family-focused, and she often takes the children to her mum's house just around the corner, as she is also a childminder, which means the children have a wider group of friends to play with. They go to a play group once a week, that my son has especially loved, and lots of soft play trips so they're always out and about.
Maria is very quick to reply to messages and has been really flexible when we've asked to change the hours or days we need help for. She also does school pickups and holiday care for my daughter now she's at school.
If you are looking for someone who you can trust to look after your child, we would highly recommend Maria.

My little one has been going to Maria since just before he was one and he’s 2.5 now. He’s happy and he comes home singing songs he learned in the day and talking about both Maria but also her family.
Maria has been understanding of our needs including around my boys halal diet. Has been flexible with timings many times when I’ve been stuck in meetings or changed jobs. She’s even dropped him off when I’ve had an injury and no one to collect.
Extremely happy and highly recommend.

My children have been to Maria since my daughter was 1 years old. Maria has looked after my 6 year old daughter and 9 year old son for nearly 6 years. Maria is friendly, flexible and very reliable. She helps where she can if I need to change my days. She always looks out for my children and my children love her like she’s family.
Would highly recommend!
We are very grateful for having her. 😊

We were initially keen to use Maria as our childminder, however be aware in her contract she expects full pay not only for her and your annual leave, but also for her ‘occasional days off’. As this point in the contract was vague I asked if she could clarify, in her response she then said she no longer had availability as a child in her care needed an extra day. She had only just taken our son for an initial settling session.

My 2.5 year old daughter has been with Maria since I’ve been back to work a year and a half ago she settled in with no problem what so ever. She has lots of fun with Maria going to groups and days out as well as feeling at home at Maria’s House. Maria also has my 5 year old son a couple of days a week with the school run and in the holidays. He has also settled in well and had fun especially in the holidays.
I would defiantly recommend Maria, she is so flexible and really helped me out swapping days when I needed to and has been very accommodating. Not only is she amazing to my children she has become a friend and wish I used her from day one!
Thanks again Maria not sure what I would do without you!

Our little girl has been looked after by Maria for nearly 4 years, and I have not second guessed our choice in her has our childminder for one second.
Nancy loves every minute she spends with Maria, and really looks forward to the days she spends with her. Maria has provided top notch care right from the day Nancy started with her at 8 months old, Maria has kept me with updated with how Nancy's progressing and what they've been doing each day. Regular visits to local playgroups, soft-play, days out and meeting other childminders has meant that Nancy is well socialised and has made lots of little friends.
Through the faultless care she has provided our daughter she has also provided support for our family as a whole. Raising a child far away from family support it has been crucial to have childcare we can rely on, and we definitely get that from Maria. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
