My son has just finished staying with Mariola after nearly a year. We couldn't be happier with the care he has received. Mariola is an excellent childminder. We have felt entirely reassured about our son being cared for, by someone outside of the family. It was difficult for me to "leave" him and go back to work - and Mariola was thoroughly supportive through this difficult transition and was able to empathise as she is a Mum herself! Mariola's home is a lovely "home away from home" environment in which our son has thrived. The environment is supported further by Mariola's lovely family - who are so welcoming of others. Our son has felt like part of the family!
Mariola always kept in daily contact about how our son was getting on, and frequently shared pictures of his day-to-day activities, which really helped us. Mariola is very dedicated and organised, and we always felt she had a really good understanding of our son's ability and what was best for him.
Our son has spent a very happy year with Mariola and we as a family will all miss her (and her family!) I would heartily recommend Mariola to others - and expect she will continue to be much in demand.
