We attend local playgroups and visit the park every day. When possible, I take the children to Kew Gardens/Richmond Park for picnics.
My son was diagnosed with diabetes type 1, I am therefore able to care for children with type 1 diabetes. I do all the blood sugar tests and administer insulin.

Our son has been going to Maria’s since he was 10 months old. She is so warm, caring and fun; so attentive to his needs and accommodating to his personality. He quickly settled in and has been thriving in her care. It genuinely feels as though Maria’s family is an extension of ours. A very happy environment!
