Latest reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Basia. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Basia is a very sweet person, very motherly, caring and kind. She is very nurturing and the children adore her. Basia looked after our daughter for a month on very short notice and we can not thank her enough. Our daughter loves her deeply and she was recommended to us by multiple sources in the area.
She invests a lot in the children she looks after. She gets to know them very well and encourages their different interests. I will definitely choose Basia again if I have another child.

For our child, Basia created a fun, calm, and creative atmosphere. Our child learned quickly from her and enjoyed going to her house each day. For us the parents, she was friendly, reliable, and incredibly helpful.
We certainly recommend her services

When looking for childcare upon going back to work, my husband and I were keen that our daughter was exposed to a stimulating, fun, loving ‘home-away-from-home’ environment. We have found exactly that with Basia and her family. Basia is an incredibly caring and patient individual. Our daughter clearly loves her time there. Every day is filled with an array of activities that not only enhance her development but are fun and engaging e.g. role play, sensory play, painting, singing, going to the park to name a few. Basia also ensures that our daughter has a varied and nutritious diet which gives me comfort going into the weekend when perhaps our standards miss the mark. As first time parents, Basia’s guidance and experience has been invaluable as well. We rely heavily on her from that perspective and she always makes time to help us navigate this new world. She is the most genuinely caring childminder we could imagine.
