Celina looked after our daughter Lily for around 6 months, from when she was 17 months to 23 months old. The only reason she is no longer looking after Lily is because we got a nursery place close to home.
We trusted Celina to look after Lily without reservation and she did not disappoint. The settling in sessions went well and Lily was with Celina 3 full days per week. Celina did lots of different activities with Lily (playgroup, painting activities, trip to visit Santa etc) and has really helped to develop her language and social skills. Lily benefited from Celina's care greatly and is now less shy and generally happier around other adults and children. She has had no issues settling into her new nursery and we believe that's from the skills she learnt at Celina's.
Also, Celina was able to cater for Lily's vegetarian diet without issue and prepared home cooked veggie meals and snacks.
We still use Celina for random days when we need childcare and for babysitting.
We would have no hesitation recommending Celina to look after your little one.

Celina withdrew her offer of services 6 days prior to me returning to work as my daughter did not settle with her. Celina said the reasons my daughter didn't settle with her were my fault and if Id have taken steps to prevent this, things would have been different. Celina refused to return our deposit to us, and only paid it back when I threatened legal action. During initial conversations about the deposit, she blocked me on WhatsApp and the childcare app. Meaning to discuss the deposit with her I had to resort to sending a signed for letter, which she eventually replied to. Celina has lots of policies and paperwork in place, but doesn't adhere to them, and also doesn't know what's in them. She quoted part of the contract to me which isn't what the contract itself says. I would not recommend her at all. To blame the parent, who is a first time parent, rather than accept any responsibility as a professional childminder who would have come across upset parents and children previously in their career is terrible. She made no effort to fix the situation just withdrew her offer of care and took on someone new.

Celina looked after my daughter of 3 yrs old, for 4 months once a week whilst I went back to training and was amazing with her. My daughter settled straight away in Celina's loving home. Outstanding child minder, very kind and caring. Celina gave me all the confidence I needed whilst starting back in education. Highly recommended. Very fitting for our needs. Sad to say goodbye. 😁
