Maria has been looking after our son since he was 9 months old. We truly couldn't be happier with her care. She has a beautiful home environment, which is well looked after, clean and tidy. Her home is spacious and on a quiet street, with a lovely big garden too. She has lots of toys and activities for babies and children of different ages. She sends updates throughout the day and photos of what they get up to – whether it's playing with toys at home, going on a walk to the shops or at the local playgroup.

Our son settled in incredibly well, and Maria made the process very smooth. We have always felt we can trust her and that our son is safe and secure in her care.

Most of all we love her kindness, warmth and just how good she is with children. When we get to the door to drop our son off, he beams with excitement. We feel so lucky to have found her. An absolute star!
