I was due to return to work when my daughter was only 10 months old, so it was important for me to find the right childcare arrangements for our family. As soon as I met Mary, I knew that I had found the right setting! Mary welcomed my daughter with her nurturing and warm manner. She provided a lot of settling in days prior to me returning to work, which helped my daughter settle quickly and without too many tears. The setting itself is organised, well resourced and feels like a family home. I particularly liked that each child had their own sleeping space and that there were different areas within the house for the children to do different activities (such as a reading area, art area, and an area for climbing). She also takes the children into the community for special trips, like visiting the library or the park. Mary also makes delicious, home cooked meals for the children. My daughter did not take to solids instantly, but Mary's perseverance definitely helped our daughter with this area of her development. Mary maintains excellent parent communication, and I always look forward to checking my phone to see the photos and videos that Mary has taken throughout the day. My daughter always smiles and laughs when she sees Mary and has formed a close relationship with her in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend Mary to any parent looking for childcare.
