Our little girl has been looked after by Maria for nearly 4 years, and I have not second guessed our choice in her has our childminder for one second.

Nancy loves every minute she spends with Maria, and really looks forward to the days she spends with her. Maria has provided top notch care right from the day Nancy started with her at 8 months old, Maria has kept me with updated with how Nancy's progressing and what they've been doing each day. Regular visits to local playgroups, soft-play, days out and meeting other childminders has meant that Nancy is well socialised and has made lots of little friends.

Through the faultless care she has provided our daughter she has also provided support for our family as a whole. Raising a child far away from family support it has been crucial to have childcare we can rely on, and we definitely get that from Maria. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
