My little girl has been with Maria for two years now since she was nine months old. We are incredibly happy that we found Maria.

Maria provides a caring and stimulating environment for a very active little girl. She comes home having learned new songs, counting in English and Spanish and having regularly participated in arts and crafts.

Maria has been very understanding and accommodating with both of us parents travelling to work in London and being a little late for pick up due to late trains.

We were very nervous about how our little one would settle in with a childminder or nursery as she had never spent time away from us before I returned to work. Maria assured us she had plenty of experience with challenging babies and she was fantastic. By the end of the settling in period, we stopped worrying. As little as she was, our little girl looked forward to seeing Maria and her team in the morning and the friends she made at the setting.

We are looking at schools that fit with Maria's drop offs so our little one can continue to enjoy being in Maria's care.
