I needed to attend a training course at short notice and needed emergency childcare. I spoke to Maria and she was happy to help! From the moment I met her I felt at ease leaving my daughter there. I would 100% recommend her. She is warm and welcoming. Thank you.

My daughter Florence has been with Maria since she was 12 months old. I cannot recommend Maria highly enough. She is professional, friendly and a wonderful childminder.
I have been very happy with the care Maria has provided in her welcoming home setting. From the very beginning, Florence and Maria formed a special bond which has flourished over time and Florence absolutely adores Maria. This is wonderful to see and makes me feel comfortable in leaving Florence in Maria’s hands.
Maria has provided good routine for the children and always provided regular updates of their day and progress. It has been wonderful to see Florence interacting and building relationships with the other children through free play and activities that Maria has organised. I am very happy with Florence’s development and this is a testament to Maria’s care.

Rudy started with Maria when he was 9 months old. As Rudy was still quite young, my top priority was that he was going to go into a homely setting where he’d be well looked after and cared for, and this is exactly what Maria did. From our first meeting, both Rudy and I felt at ease and very comfortable in her home and so leaving Rudy in Maria’s hands whilst I went off to work was made that much easier.
As Rudy grew, so did Rudy and Maria’s relationship. It was wonderful to see how much they cared for one another. It was also lovely to see Rudy build friendships with the other children Maria looked after. Regular pictures and videos of Rudy playing with his friends and enjoying the different activities with Maria always brought a smile to my face.
I was very pleased with how Maria split the time she looked after Rudy between learning academically and learning life skills through play and having fun. With her natural skills in childminding and the learning techniques she uses with the children, I feel she has played a huge part in Rudy’s development so that he’s ready for his next stage in life.
I would highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a childminder.

Maria is a truly wonderful childminder. She has provided a warm and nurturing environment for both my son and daughter they were 9/10 months old until starting pre-school, and she still looks after them on occasion after school or in the holidays. I have been very happy with her care for both my children, and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Maria and her family are extremely kind and loving, and she has created a wonderfully secure ‘home-from-home’ environment which I feel is absolutely ideal for small children to thrive - especially when it’s their first time being looked after by someone new.
The settling in periods went smoothly, Maria is very experienced at ensuring children settle well and quickly. Her kind and happy nature is so reassuring, and it was a lot easier than I anticipated. Before long, my children would rush in to play with new friends each morning, which was wonderful to see!
Maria and her husband provide a good routine for the children, allowing them play freely as well as take part in more structured activities such as art, crafts, and puzzles to help them develop motor, language and social skills, and she regularly updates parents on their progress. The children go out for walks to the park regularly and enjoy healthy home-cooked food every day. Overall, I am very happy with my children's development, they are both confident, chatty, inquisitive and eager to learn, but also feel secure and loved. I really credit a lot of this to attending such a nurturing and caring childcare setting since I have returned to work after maternity leave.
I would not hesitate to recommend Maria to anyone looking for a childminder locally!
