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.
