Thank you Diana, it has been an absolute privilege to look after your son and welcome you all into my home, we have had so much together and he has certainly come on in leaps and bounds, he is a little Super Star.
My daughter has been going to Mary's since she was 11 months old, and it was the best decision we've ever made. Mary has been so caring, loving and patient towards all the children she is looking after. You know you find the right person when my daughter comes home happy and wanting to go back daily!
Mary looks after all the kids so well, they do dancing, reading, singing and loads other activities together. We can see how happy our daughter is when she knows she is going to Mary's that day. Except for me and my husband, Mary is the person our daughter sees most, and to her, Mary is like a family member and someone she really enjoys spending time with. I love how flexible Mary is when we needed her help and the communication we can get about our daughter throughout the day when she is there. You can always put your mind at ease when Mary is looking after your children as she is so good at what she does!

Hi Lisen,
What lovely words, what can I say, yes your daughter does love being here and I love having her, she is like family and I feel like a special aunt to her, she is so inquisitive and funny and we have many laughs together throughout the day.
Children are precious and seeing them happy means the world to me.
Thank you so much for letting me care for her.
Look no further... you will not find a better childminder than Mary, get in touch - I promise you won't regret it!
Mary looked after my daughter Allegra 4 days per week, from 10 months old until she was 4 and only leaving for her pre-school year at Nursery.
Marys home and garden is lovely and spacious and wonderful for the kids, a complete children's haven! There is an abundance of toys and books, Mary reads and dances with the kids and they have all of her attention. On warmer days there is fun in the paddling pool!
On a personal note, my daughter absolutely loves her and treats Mary more like family that her childminder. Mary has been a huge part of our lives, and a big part of who Allegra is today. She really cares for her children and their families - Allegra leaves being part of her family, me too! We'll continue to be in Mary's life for years to come I am sure.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you and lots of love, Michelle, Ally & Allegra xxx

Thank you so much for the lovely review, it means so much to me, you have all been very much a part of our lives and Allegra is like one of the family, we will miss her coming everyday, but I know we will continue to see you all.
Much Love from Mary 💕 xx
Mary is absolutely amazing at what she does. She is so caring and attentive. My little boy loved spending time at her house and if I ever need a childminder again Mary will be my first port of call. I would 100% recommend Mary to anyone looking for a childminder.

Mary has been caring for my daughter Darcy-Leah from august last year and I couldn't be happier with the care love and support that Mary offers my daughter whilst I'm at work. It's plain to see that Mary loves all the children within her care & the children love her dearly. Darcy-leah settled in really quickly at Mary's home which is safe & secure for all the children & there's an abundance of toys for all ages to help with learning and development. Mary also has sing songs, reads storys & has an arts & crafts section where all the children can join in & organises topics depending on the time of the year. The back garden is also a kids safe haven with lots of outdoor toys to keep the children entertained & happy. Mary takes the children walks down the park & to bookbug sessions at the nursery too. Mary is more than happy to help at short notice if my hours at work change & always updates me daily on activities & how darcy-leah has been. We are so lucky to have mary in our lives she really does play a key role in darcy-leahs upbringing & I'm very much looking forward to having Mary continue caring for darcy-leah over the years to come ? ur a star much love siobhan & darcy-leah xxx
