Children loves Magda! and my son loves her too!!!! Sometimes, my son even ask me whether he can go to her place when he doesn't have booked sessions with her as he recently started reception. Its a complete joy to see that my son is enjoying and feeling happy and safe while I'm at work. I was a person migrated to UK last year and my son was not familiar with the English language. I have tried sending him to nursery though find it hard for him and not liking it due to language barriers and for me flexibility was an issue. Then i decided to go for a child minder and it was an absolute bliss I found Magda.

What I have observed from her communication with children is that she is patient, friendly and she always gives options for children to play and learn. She takes them outdoor to the park and soft plays whenever possible. she is a very focused and dedicated person, hardworking and always have her schedules with her though she is quiet flexible. I feel she is the best child minder I have ever met. My son developed good friendship from the setting, good manners and have friends whom he adores. I'm pretty sure that my son will continue to love the setting and Magda. Hence Magda is doing after-school pickup for my son and he is excited for her to pick up him than me. Thank you Magda for being such a blessing in our little life!

Magda has been looking after my daughter for 5 months now. I have only positive things to say about her. She is very caring and my child did settled very quickly and is always looking forward to spend day with her. Magda has different activities every day - soft plays, walk in park or singing groups etc. She looks after children's well-being, development and overall happiness. She provides with feedback and advise where appropriate. She cooks healthy food for children. Magda is honest and trustworthy and I always felt that my child is safe and looked after with her.
Magda’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my daughter has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care.
Magda is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining my daughter's confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home.
I am also aware that Magda ensures good personal hygiene in encouraging all the children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet.
She always seems kind, calm and patient with children. I would definitely recommend her!

I highly recommend Magda. She is very caring and professional. Magda is currently looking after our 3 year old child, doing drop offs and pick ups. We felt secure leaving our child at Magda’s as she offers a safe enviroment and outstanding care towards him. She is very flexible and always willing to work around our busy schedule. Our son is very happy going to Magda’s. He always tells us about his time with her, they play lots of games together and do new activities every day. My husband and i have a good communication with Magda, she is keeping us updated with everything that has to do with our son.

Magda is an amazing childminder.

Response by Avatar for Magda Magda on 30/10/2017:

Thank you Nico for taking your time to write this review. Thank you.

Magda is a warm and cheerful person. She truly cares about the children she looks after giving them her undivided attention, time and loads of love. She not only supports the children to be independent and make their own choices/decisions, think for themselves (when appropriate) but also is fair and caring if upsetting situations arise.
She is very professional and open in the parent-childminder relations and I always felt well informed about my children's day, progress and activities.
My children are intolerant to some foods so it was really important to me to maintain good communication with Magda to make sure they don't eat anything that they are not allowed. Magda always checked with me before serving them anything.
Our kids - the only thing in the world we find SO hard to trust others with - I would leave my children with Magda anytime! I can not praise her enough!

Magda is a professional, empathetic and fun childminder. It is clear she loves her work and has bonded with my daughter as if she were her own. She got lots of activity and attention, and we loved hearing about what she has been up to and the outings she has been on every day. Communication with Magda always was excellent and open, which give us great consistency between home and childcare. I recommend Magda to any family without hesitation.
