Mary cared for our daughter for over 2 years starting when she was 9 months old, only stopping because we moved out of the area. We could not have found better childcare for out daughter, A.
Right from the start when I was a nervous mum returning to work, we were completely at ease with leaving A with Mary. Her communication with parents is excellent and she has always engaged A in a wide range of activities that have encouraged and stimulated her development. As well as doing a wide range of activities at home, Mary takes the children out either to groups or to do activites with other childminders and their children most days so they can socialise; A was able to build up relationships with other children she saw regularly.
Mary has 2 dogs that are very gentle and excellent with children. A loved interacting with them and helping to care for them.
As working parents, Mary helped make our lives easier with her flexibility. She is a genuine, caring and conscientious person who has cared for our daughter as if she were her own and helped us raise a happy and confident little girl. I would recommend her to everyone.
