When I got a new job I knew straight away I wanted to take my son out of nursery and start him with a childminder.. and wow… I didn’t realise at the time how that would of been the best decision I ever could have made. I walked into Mary’s home and knew instantly that this is where my son will be, he walked in and made himself right at home. It took him months and months to get him used to going into nursery, and with Mary, he was comfortable within 3 days.

One of the first conversations I had with Mary was the worry I had over our sons speech, he’s nearly 2 and would say minimal words which my health visitors and the staff at his nursery said may be an issue. After a week of being with Mary he came home a new boy, all of a sudden he’s saying so many more things and he is so much more confident.

I could talk for pages and pages about Mary, and how amazing she is, but really you’ll only understand once you meet her
