A friend had recommended Maria to me and from the moment I met her I was convinced she was the one! Warm, funny, kind, creative, active and caring, Maria is the most wonderful person. We have been so fortunate to have her looking after our son, who absolutely adores her.
Maria has created a lovely environment for the children in her care and takes them on fastastic trips out and about. Her husband Peter regularly gets involved entertaining the kids with his juggling skills!
Maria has fostered a very special bond with my son and I couldn’t be happier knowing that he is in such a caring and lovely environment.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Maria - she is one of a kind!

I feel so very lucky to have found Maria and for her to have looked after my little boy for the last year. She goes above and beyond to ensure the children in her care have a home from home experience “plus” 😊 she always plans lovely activities both inside and out often with a unique twist such as meditation cloud gazing 😃 the children look so happy in the pictures she sends. They get lots of fresh air discovering the world and indoors, Maria’s home offers a warm and friendly place for them to play. Her playroom is very well equipped and beautifully kept, and the garden is a lovely extension of her home. Maria cooks delicious homemade meals and provides health snacks and the occasional treat which is lovely. My little boy was always so happy there and made great friends with the others too. And most of all, he seemed to have brilliant fun and lots of laughter.
She’s very experienced and if happy to discuss any issues, and offer her advice. She’s quite clearly made to care for children. I cannot recommend her enough.

Our daughter was 13 months when she started with Maria and has settled in very happily. Maria is a wonderful childminder and provides a lovely environment for the children she looks after. She is kind and patient with the children and thoughtful and creative in the activities that she plans for them.
The children play outdoors every day and our daughter always looks like she is having lots of fun. Maria sends lots of photos each day and a detailed daily note of the activities and food for the day. All her food is home cooked and healthy.
Our daughter has thrived under Maria's care and we would happily recommend her.

We couldn’t be happier with Maria and feel so lucky that she had a space to take out 1 year old daughter. Our daughter settled so quickly with Maria and I’m sure this is largely due to her warm and friendly nature, her positive attitude and sense of fun and her lovely welcoming home. Her playroom for the children is very sweet and well equipped. Maria cooks such lovely home cooked, nutritious meals and does a great range of activities with them including going to toddler groups, park outings, picnics, garden play and crafts at home. She is so good with all the children she has and no wonder our daughter is so happy there! Would highly recommend Maria 😀

Maria has looked after my eldest daughter for over two years and my little one is starting with her in a few months. She is a great childminder and treats the children like her own. She takes them out daily to a variety of places and meets with other childminders and their children so they get the benefit of a close, home environment but have the opportunity to mix with lots of children. They do lots of arts and crafts and bring home some lovely creations. She has a lovely garden for the children to play in when the weather is nice. The meals she provides are healthy, fresh and home-cooked - I wish I could eat there!! She is encouraging and supportive of the children and my daughter is so happy with her. I would recommend Maria to anyone.

Our 3 children were welcomed into Maria’s home like they were her own and settled in so easily. She is a natural with children and her passion for her role shines through. Maria offers a ‘home from home’ - our children were always busy with daily outside activities and exercise, visiting different groups where they socialised with other children and were offered varied indoor activities. Maria provided a variety of healthy, home cooked food each day and got our 3 to eat things they never would for us! She also communicated really well with us - we loved receiving photos of the children looking so happy! We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder, we knew the moment we visited Maria in her home that she was right for us and is now like a member of our family.

Maria has been an absolutely amazing for our son. He’s been going to her for the past 2 years (since he was 11 months). She’s super organised, providing the children with lots of stimulation, fun play as well learning through play. Her setting is well set out, clean, tidy (yet so comfortable and inviting) with lots of different toys and activities for different ages including a garden. She uses an online system to keep track of admin, meals, daily activities (including loads of pics which keeps me informed of the fun day my son had) and development of the children.
She takes the children out almost every day doing different activities I.e to the park, play groups, picnics, etc. She cooks a wide range of healthy home made meals which the children love.
She is very supportive of my child’s development and does activities to support his growth (social, emotional and educational).
Maria goes out of her way for the children and loves them like her own - my child absolutely loves her. I really can't recommend her highly enough. She’s been amazing and I can’t thank her enough for the love and care she’s shown to my child.

My daughter has been with Maria for over a year now and we couldn't be happier with the whole arrangement. Maria is a lovely, kind and completely trustworthy lady who treats the children like they are her own. Her home is beautiful and always immaculate! She cooks healthy, nutritious meals and manages to get my daughter to eat pretty much anything (despite her being fussy at home). She has a lovely playroom full of toys and books as well as a garden where the children can play. She takes them out to the park and to groups where they can meet and play with other children. My daughter is so happy in Maria's care and we are so happy to have found her. I would highly recommend Maria as a childminder to anyone and have already requested a space with her for our second baby that's on the way.

Maria has been an absolutely amazing childminder for our third child. Her setting is thoughtful and she provides the children with lots of stimulation. I really appreciate that she also makes sure the children get out and about every day exploring and to play groups. She also cooks a wide range of healthy home made meals which the children love.
She is very organised and uses an excellent online system to keep track of all admin including contracts, daily activity feeds, pictures, and meal planners. This made life a lot easier.
Maria goes out of her way for the children and loves them like her own. I really can't recommend her highly enough!
