The best thing I can say about Maddy is that my boys LOVE her. When I leave them in her care, I know that they are happy. She is very knowledgeable about childcare; for example, one of the very first questions she asked me when we first met was, "Where do you keep their snacks?" This is vital information that a parent takes for granted and which is essential to keep the kiddies happy! Maddy takes instruction very well, but even better, she is self-motivated. She often comes to my house with a plan about what she would like to do with the boys--a favourite is taking them out to the New River to see the ducks. If you're an Islington local, I can guarantee that Maddy knows about every single playgroup and playgrounds in the area--in addition to being current on many child-friendly attractions around London. My family are simply delighted to have found Maddy and I personally feel anybody who has her as their childminder is very lucky.
