I have found Maria to be an excellent childminder when caring for my little one who absolutely adored his time spent at her setting. He would always come home with tales of amazing trips or activities that he had done, and many days didnt want to leave, at pick up time which was reassuring to me that he was being well looked after. .My lilltle one also enjoyed seeing her pugs everyday who are ever so sweet and are part of the family.
Maria is a wonderful person and I would highly recommend her childminding skills to others.. My little one is at school now but we have remained friends which is great and are still in touch.

Maria looked after my daughter for 2 years. She was very happy there and had lots of fun. Maria takes the children on regular outings and they also play in the conservatory and garden. I have always found Maria to be a friendly, reliable and confident childminder.
