Elena looked after my little boy from age 1 till he went to reception. Hardest goodbye we had to say. She was incredibly help for myself and my little one grown close to her in a way he missing them every day. Communication always were clear. Feedback was given in anytime about the daly routine and how my child developing.My child loved her cooking and food selections. I must say if I have to start over again I would not think for a moment to ask her again.

Elena has looked after both of our children in London.From day one, she created a warm, nurturing, and safe environment where our children felt happy, supported, and genuinely loved. She consistently went above and beyond—planning engaging activities, encouraging learning. We're incredibly grateful for the impact she's had on our children early years development and for all the care and norture she has offered them. Thank you Elena

I know Elena for about 13 years now. My both children went to her since she lived in London. Well organised, professional and friendly, my kids ( boy and girl) loved to go to her . I would recommend her for everybody who is looking for someone who is looking well after the kids, give home made cooked meals and give them a great start before nursery/ school.
