Maida will always have a special place in the hearts of our family. She has been looking after our little one since 11 months old. Our girl has had some challenges with health and Maida has been incredibly supportive. Maida is a wonderful person for us as parents to talk to and rely on. She is flexible, thoughtful and beyond kind. She is family. She has nurtured our daughter’s development, offering loads of activities and personal attention. Our daughter’s language skills have thrived and she is an active, happy, inquisitive child. I couldn’t recommend Maida enough. If you are looking for a childminder who is sincere and dedicated and embodies kindness - look no further.

Our son (16 months old) has been with Maida since 9 months old and he has truly thrived under Maida's care! Maida has done well in supporting our child and us through the weaning process and our son is currently doing well in learning words, actions (waving hello and goodbye, etc), and songs with Maida. Maida offers a good range of activities including group play and outdoor activities; she encourages exploration which our son is truly thriving through. She is great at working with parents to support their child's developmental needs (for example, she may offer once in a while a game to play at home to encourage further development of a specific skill).

Maida is Childminder for my daughter (2.5 years old) for 4 months now. She is amazing!
My daughter loves going to her, she spends quality time in a very friendly environment (other kids in her group are a big advantage!)
Maida teaches her (counting, colours, new words), play with her (dancing, painting, role-playing), go out with her to parks (Saville Garden). I get pictures from Maida with very special moments!
This is so much better then any other place my daughter has been (including Nursery).
I highly recommend Maida to all parents.

Maida is so so lovely, always very welcoming. My son absolutely loved going to her. She was my childminder for nearly a year and I only stopped going due to me moving far away. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

I am so grateful to have Maida to care for my son. He is settling down very well and seems to be very happy and always get full attention from Maida and her family. Hopefully it can carry on for as long as possible as I feel like Maida has always got my son’s best interests at heart!

Maida has been looking after my children for few months. She is amazing with kids, very friendly and a real mum. My kids adapted so quick to her setting and feel comfortable with her and her family. She is flexible and accommodating and understands kids so well. I highly recommend her!
