Mary Sco's Reviews

One In A Million !

I have three boys, twin boys who are now 6 and another who is 4. Mary has cared for all three of my boys since the twins were 1 years old and my youngest was 10 months old. She was brand new to child minding when we met her but instantly after meeting her we knew that we could entrust our precious boys to her. I work full time and I am totally confident that whilst the boys are in her care they are happy, loved and safe.

Over the past five years Mary has not only provided the highest level of care possible , but has been a very influential role model for the boys providing them with educational extra-curricular activities and allowing them to grow as individuals. She has made her home a safe haven for her children inside and out and the boys enjoy every minute they spend with her.

On a personal level Mary has also become a confident and a close friend to me and loves my boys as her own and my boys just adore her. Mary has become a very important person in our lives and I’m am sure that as the boys grow older and leave her care she will always be part of their lives.

I truly believe I could not have found anyone better to care for children. Mary is one in a million.

Thank you for the very kind and lovely review, I truly love the boys and they have a very special place in my heart, they bring me so much joy and laughter and we have very special moments together and I truly love and care for them like my own, they love it here and for a long long time did not know I was their "Childminder" they just looked on me as a family member who looked after them, they even used to ask me "What did I work at and what was my job" as they grew older they came to know that I was their childminder but that did not change the special relationship we share. You and I too have become very close as we both have 3 very special boys best interests at heart.

So glad we found Mary

Mary has cared for my son since 6 months old (he is now 19 months). We searched for the perfect carer for our son for months & could not believe our luck when we found Mary. My son had feeding problems & Mary was totally able and willing to manage these, she was flexible, committed and even from first visit she has adored my little boy.

We are never stressed or worried when our son is with mary. He has opportunities to paint, draw, sing, do activities, go walks, soft play and many more things. Without hesitation mary will make contact with us if she needs to.

Overall I am delighted with Mary's care of my son. She is like a family member and it is clear that Mary loves my son very much. I could not ask for any more.

Thanks Linz for the kind words he is a very special wee boy and I love him very very much, he makes me laugh and his laugh is just so contagious, we have a lot of fun, hugs and laughter, Love him.

Fantastic Childminder

Mary has cared for my son who is now 3 years old since July 2011.
I can't recommend her highly enough. My son absolutely adores Mary and sees her as another member of the family. I can always contact Mary when my sons in her care and can rest easy knowing he is being very well cared for. Mary has been a massive help over the years and is currently looking forward to caring for my daughter when I return to work soon :)
My little boy always talks about his adventures with Mary, she makes a real effort to keep the kids days varied and I know my little boy loves visiting the ducks at the pond and an afternoon at soft play but he loves cosy days playing games and drawing just as much. Mary has always cared for Lewis like he was a grandson giving him and the other children lots of love and it's obvious all the children she cares for absolutely adore her.

Thank you for the very kind words, and allowing me the priviledge of looking after your two children, I really do love them so much and they are very much like family to me.

A+ childminder

Mary was recommended to me by a friend and as soon as my son (2yrs old at the time) and I met her, we knew she was the right choice. My son settled in straight away and I instantly felt at ease leaving him with her. I was given full updates on everything he had done and eaten throughout the day and always felt comfortable asking her advise on his development etc.

Mary has a lot of energy and is always busy with the children in her care, taking them to groups, soft play or simply playing and completing activities at her home. My son (who is now at school) was very sad to have left Mary's care and still asks to visit on occasion. Mary also contacts me to ask how my son is getting on at school. Her love for the children in her care, doesn't end when the parents come to pick them up. It goes a lot further than that.

I had no hesitation on contacting Mary again, when I was in need of a childminder for my second child (now 10months). Which I was delighted to hear she was able to take him.
Mary is not just a childminder, I would consider her a friend and like an auntie to my children.
I would recommend her to anyway without a doubt.
