Wonderful Maria!

Maria has cared for our son since spring 2019 and he has loved every day in her care. Maria is kind and very experienced. Everyday there is a walk or trip to a playgroup. Our kitchen walls are bursting with imaginative pictures Maria has helped our son create. Maria has a clean and cosy family home with lots of toys and a great garden which gets lots of use on warmer days. Maria cooks wonderful meals which are varied and managed to persuade our fussy eater to try more fruit than we manage at home! Everyday, Maria keeps up updated with photos and news of the day. We are so very grateful to Maria for nurturing our little boy over the year -we were very lucky to find her and even luckier that she had space.

Lovely childminder

We have been using Maria for our Mon - Thursday childcare since October 2018 for our first born little boy. I returned to work when he was 9 months old and we instantly felt at ease with Maria and knew she would be the right choice.

She made my return to work feel very straightforward - all communication was clear, she wrote down daily in a notebook when he had to eat, how long he slept and his general activities in the day. This worked very well - simple and clear. We could also use this if we had to give Maria any information in case we forgot to do it at drop off and pick up.

Maria regularly sends pictures and updates to us electronically (with our consent). Our little one loves being with Maria and has never had any difficulties settling with her. His development has come on tremendously with her regular playgroup attendance and activities at home. During the holidays and summer months they do other local outings with other childminders in the area. I think it’s a really great combination of lots of group playtime and quieter (!) time with Maria in her home.

We are going to be very sad to say goodbye to Maria when we move away from the area.
