Mary has been taking care of my son since he was three years old, now he is almost six .

Mary is extremely understanding and flexible even now more and more as I am now pregnant and due in September .

My son used to attend a local nursery but because he was not happy there , I removed him and registered with Mary where he has settled in quickly and I could see he was happy again .

Mary had been an amazing support for me a single mum with her flexibility her understanding of my needs and that of my son . She has been so accommodating to the care I needed as at times specially after my son started school , our childcare needs changed but Mary is always there to support when ever we needed her, specially during school holidays .

Mary organises annual parents lunch get together so that the parents in the setting can get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere , these events are joyful with lots of delicious food . I always attend these events and my son is happy to meet up with his Freinds .

Mary never took a day off sick not even during the time my son was with her full time . This shows how she pushed herself to the maximum even when she was unwell at times so as not to disturb my work routine .

I am extremely pleased and confident with her compassion and care towards the children in her care, she loves them all as her own and my son is always happy to go to Mary’s . Even after he started school he asks me when will he go back to Mary .

Mary always provide a balanced appetising home cooked meals to the children . She has shown and demonstrated a high level of dedication and integrity in her care for the children . She takes the children out on regular day trips to Kew Gardens , odds farm , local parks etc…. Which my son enjoys immensely .
She encourages the children to celebrate family events like mothers days and fathers days and birthdays and make birthday cards for each other (children in the setting ) so as to encourage their social and caring developments

Mary has an amazing setting with lots of high quality resources to help with the children‘s development in all areas . The setting is extremely calm with positive energy which influences the children confidence and security .

I highly recommend Mary as a childminder someone you can actually trust with your own child .
