From the day we met Maggie we have never looked back - our son started aged 9 months and left aged 3 years.

As any mother knows; returning to work after maternity leave is daunting and heartbreaking but from day one our son Rufus has been so well looked after. I remember a time when he had not seen her in a while so we filmed his reaction; there was so much love and joy on Rufus’ face when she opened the door - this was all the clarification we needed that Maggie was the right person to care for our son.

Rufus has come along in leaps and bounds and has started nursery as a confident, socialable and bright young boy and this is down to the love, care and attention given by Maggie. I would highly recommend this childminder for her down to earth nurturing approach to caring for children - her enthusiasm is infectious and imagination when planning tasks for the term is mind blowing - some days I wish I would have been there rather than sat at a desk! Your son/daughter will never come home saying they have not had a fun day. They will also make wonderful and caring relationships with the other children - its so beautiful to watch them all grow and care about one another. It was always nice that our son had ‘a little life of his own’.

Should you wish to trial Maggie and want to discuss references further she will arrange this - I have no reservations in recommending Maggie.
