My child has been going to Maria for a year and a half now and I can only say amazing things about Maria , she made my child feel welcome from day one discussed with me his wants and needs and he settled in with no problems. Maria is kind caring and my child always asks to go round and see Maria whenever we drive past her road and even on his days he is not in her care . Maria does fun activities and Days out ect and my little boy cannot wait to tell me what he has done for the day (I normally get a recap of what he has done just before he goes to sleep) Maria also communicates with me on a regular basis and I get to read what he has done throughout the day via a communication book (which tells me what he has eatern and so on and so fourth) Maria's home environment is brilliant with a massive garden (which my little boy would spend all day in if he could ) and a playroom everything is safe and secure . Maria will often help me out last minute of she has the space which I am most greatful for . Maria has built a great relationship with my child and I feel completely at ease leaving him . I also receive pictures throughout the day to see what my little boy has been up too . All I can say is she is a wonderful lady and an absolutely brilliant childminder I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is in need of a childminder she's superstar
