Maria is a very caring and professional childminder, she is currently childminding my daughter, my daughter gets on very well with her and her family, my daughter always looks forward to Maria collecting her from school and even asks me if she can go to her home on a Saturdays!. Maria takes the time to provide fun and educational activities every day and encourages my daughter to take part in fun clubs and activities, Maria takes the time to listen to my daughters needs and she has helped my daughter overcome her shyness which has helped her come out of her shell. Maria has a very caring nature and is very easy to talk to, she is very down to earth and shows genuine care for the children. Maria also is quite understanding and flexible when you are in full time work with lateness and sick days. Maria’s home is very clean and safe. I feel reassured that my daughter is in a safe hands she is being cared for by Maria, I would recommend Maria to anyone that needs childcare and wants to ensure their child is in a clean, safe and caring environment.
