Mariella has been absolutely amazing with my little girl. I visited lots of childminders and nurseries and Mariella stood out immediately. I had to go back to work when my daughter was 9 months old and I was so worried about leaving her. I felt comfortable leaving her with Mariella straight away. She has years of childcare experience and is warm and kind and obviously genuinely loves children. She has ofsted outstanding which is hard to find in the area. Mariella’s home is beautiful and spacious with a lovely garden. She takes the children on so many outings and to lots of local activities and provides nutritious home cooked meals. Mariella doesn’t do school pick ups and drops offs, which was a massive plus for me and means she’s totally focussed on the little ones. Her setting is calm and not overwhelming and overstimulating as nurseries can be. The most important thing is that my daughter also loves Mariella, she’s excited when we approach her house!

Our daughter has been with Mariella since she was 6 months old. Even though Mariella had recently opened her nursery at the time and no OFSTED report was available we decided to trust her because she had 18 years' experience working in nurseries and she had amazing references from parents. We could not have make a better choice. A few months later, Mariella's first Quality Assurance Report came out and, without surprise, she received the "outstanding" score.
Our daughter is so happy with Mariella, she always organises great activities for the kids (day trip to the museum, the parcs, playgroups, water parc, playing in her garden...). She is very involved in the kids' development and also helps with routine adjustment when needed. Mariella's house is my daughter's second home and it's great to see her so happy when she joins every morning. I highly recommend Mariella if you are looking for a childminder in the borough of Islington / Hackney.
