Mariola took care of our son 2.5 days a week from the age of 10months until we moved when he was 3 years old. As first time parents sending our boy to childcare at such a young age was daunting. But I liked Mariola the first time I chatted to her on the phone. The learning environment in her home is clean and safe and she has a an abundant and diverse range of toys and learning materials for the children. Her back garden is large and we loved how the children would be constantly outdoors and in the local park. I considered Mariola to be a ‘second mum’ to my son- he absolutely loved her, his childminding days and spending time with her family as well! Her advice on how to handle behaviour, meal times and child development /milestones etc was invaluable and communication via text, photos, messages and verbally was excellent. Such an amazing, nurturing start to our son’s first experience of childcare. I will be forever grateful for Mariola’s support, understanding and guidance X
