After going back to work when my daughter was 5 months old I knew the only childminder I trusted to take care of my child was Mary. I worked with Mary many years ago and know how fantastic her relationship is with children and babies. Mary understood my anxieties about leaving my only child and she always answered any queries I had. My daughter was a slow settler and Mary understood this and supported me and my child throughout the settling in process. Mary is kind, caring, fun and fair. Mary sets realistic boundaries and makes learning so much fun. My daughter once settled loved her time with Mary and enjoyed all the activities on offer. As a family we felt supported when changing routines and through my daughter’s introduction to solid foods. Activities were always varied, I knew my child would be getting lots of fresh air, develop healthy social skills, delicious and nutritious food and lots of fun. Mary’s attention to details was fantastic and even years after my daughter has gone on to school and I still love looking through her old observations, photos and pictures from her time with Mary. I cannot recommend Mary highly enough and her passion, love and knowledge really does make her the best
