Urszula is an outstanding childminder. She is patient, kind, caring and professional. She plans weekly for a wide range of developmentally appropriate activities for the children to enjoy. The menu was sent to us a week in advance and everything was cooked from scratch and always accommodated from my son's allergy. The children were taken out and about in the community on a regular basis and had ample opportunities for social interaction at various baby/ toddler play groups. She encouraged age-appropriate risk taking to develop his independence and to help him achieve developmental milestones. Through a daily diary as well as through face-to-face communication at pick-up and drop-off she he provided detailed feedback on his everyday activities and achievements. The regular photographs and videos she sent to us were the highlight of my day and ensured that my husband and I never missed any 'special moments.' Urszula has the patience of a saint and positive and calm manner when disciplining the children-- gently helping them to understand right from wrong. Above all, my son was so, so happy in her care. All his physical, social, emotional, intellectual and communication needs were met (and then some!) and he really flourished under her care. She really made all of us feel part of the family and we will miss her dearly when she leaves RP!
