My son Nathaniel started with Maria in Jan 2004, I had a bad experience with a nursery and a friend recommended Maria, and I am so glad they did. She was great with him, so much so that when my daughter was born I automatically new Maria would be the best childcare provider for her so she went to Maria full time when I went back to work in May 2006. I think Maria is a god send and I have recommended my friends to go to Maria when they have needed childcare.
I think Maria is fantastic because my children are so happy when they are with her, she does great activities with them and she has a great relationship with them. She is a caring, trustworthy and punctual Childminder and she will always go that extra mile for my children. I am always at ease when my children are with her. She sends me regular texts throughout the day so that I know what they are doing. She is as flexible as she possibly can be. Her home and garden are safe and secure and they do fun things such as painting, cooking, gardening, walks to the farm, days out and much more... She makes my children happy and encourages learning with them, and I feel allot of their learned skills come from her.
I would highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a Childminder.
