My daughter has been with Maria for nearly 2 years now. She loves spending time with Maria and can't wait to be dropped off in the mornings. Maria is kind and caring, children get welcomed with open arms. They visit various groups during the week, so Megan can interact with lots of other children of all ages and of course participate in lots of activities suitable for her age. Sumertime/good weather is spent in the local park or garden. Making sure that the children get lots of physical excersise. Trips to the seaside, soft play centres and local farms etc are often arranged throughout the year, which Megan always enjoys. We've become very good friends and I no longer class Maria as a childminder, but part of our extended family.
