Federica is a wonderful childminder, unfailingly patient kind and resourceful. She reset our experience of childcare after our child was previously unhappy at a nursery. I was so nervous of sending my child back into childcare but Federica was amazing. She has a very keen instinct for what our child needed, and helped her to develop hugely with her ability to express herself and to manage her emotions. My child came home every day with new skills or knowledge, e.g. she learned to write her name with Federica's tuition.
Federica was extremely flexible and worked with me to find a pattern of childcare that was good for our family, including going to a toddler group together most weeks, and looking after my younger child too on many occasions. She was very understanding of the pressures of being a mother, and I learned a lot from her as I watched her look after my children.
Sadly we have moved away from the area but my child has started at a new nursery, and she now walks in happy and expecting to have a good day - I'm so relieved and grateful to Federica for her hard work as I believe she takes a lot of credit for reducing my child's anxieties.
Federica has a beautiful home as the childminding setting and both my children were very happy in her care.

My son has been with Federica for over a year and has absolutely loved it. We tried nursery before and different childminders but there was no place like with Federica. It was such a relief that we found her because I never had to worry at work how he was doing, I knew she was taking care of him the best she could and I could 100% trust her. She is so passionate about children and has so much knowledge and experience and creates an environment that is fun and safe. She is kind, gentle but firm and always strives to educate them through play. I was surprised at how many things my son learnt with her in such a short time: letters, numbers, colours, shapes etc. He loved it so much and we were sad when we had to leave. 1000% recommend Federica!
