THE BEST CHILDMINDER EVER.
Maria is the best childminder in Chelmsford in my opinion. She has my little boy in the mornings Tuesday- Friday and takes him to nursery and has done since he was 2 1/2 years old and he will be 4 in December.
Maria has made his confidence grow massively and we can’t thank her enough he loves going to hers in the morning.
She gives the children routine and structure which has had a really good impact on our child.
I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, caring childminder.
She treats your children as if they are her own my little boy has come home and said he loves Ria so that says a lot.
We are very lucky to have found her!

Maria has been my child minder for my six year old daughter for several months now, she collects her from school twice a week.
My daughter and I couldn't be more happy about the care provided by Maria, my daughter always moans if I collect her too early as she enjoys playing and interacting with the other children and especially likes to stay for the healthy snacks maria provides.
It's done my daughter the world of good having a childminder who has routine and order whilst still having a sense of fun and organising fun educational games, baking and crafty activities for the children.
I would be very happy to recommend Maria to anyone

Overall
Maria was my childminder for both of my children. My daughter from 18months to school age and my son from 9 months to school age. The only reason that we had to stop using Maria was because she doesn't live near the school we use, otherwise I would not have hesitated to continue to use her.
Throughout the time my children have spent with her, they have been well cared for, well fed, well entertained and well behaved. She has a fairly strict policy for behaviour which the children adhere to and this helps to create the happy, safe and friendly environment that she has in her home.
There are many activities and visits that Maria does with the children and the things that she does at home are just as varied and well laid out.
Maria has been a big part of our lives until now, and we were very sad to have to leave her. We hope to remain in touch with her in the future.
