Experience with Maryann Thornes?

I'm considering moving my daughter to Maryann's daycare, given that we just moved to the neighborhood. If anyone has recent experience with Maryann, I'd love to hear your comments about it! Thanks!

We placed our daughter with Maryann starting at 2 months (in 2011)  all the way up until she went to pre-school at 3 1/2. To this day Maryann will take our daughter in, if space is available, because our daughter is so comfortable and happy there. 

The daycare is run out of her flat on the ground floor with access to an shaded outdoor space.  It's a straight forward operation, nothing fancy but clean and safe. Maryann's daughter Heather and son Jay round out the team.  The kids loved them too. There are tropical fish, some birds (kept in a room to themselves) and a sweet cat who I'm certain has had it's tail pulled far too many times.

Maryann makes it look easy tending to a pack of babies and toddlers. She just takes it all in stride and has been doing so for 30 years. Her prices are more than reasonable and she is flexible i.e. when we wanted to reduce from 5 to 4 days/week, provided you give her sufficient notice.  In short, we were quite happy with Maryann. Lucky you to have her in your neighborhood.
