Maria has looked after my eldest daughter for over two years and my little one is starting with her in a few months. She is a great childminder and treats the children like her own. She takes them out daily to a variety of places and meets with other childminders and their children so they get the benefit of a close, home environment but have the opportunity to mix with lots of children. They do lots of arts and crafts and bring home some lovely creations. She has a lovely garden for the children to play in when the weather is nice. The meals she provides are healthy, fresh and home-cooked - I wish I could eat there!! She is encouraging and supportive of the children and my daughter is so happy with her. I would recommend Maria to anyone.
