It was my daughter`s first time being cared for outside the family and Ovuokio was a great choice. My daughter was 2 and fluent in her mother tongue and could understand English but did not speak it which made her settling-in period difficult. However, Ovuokio very patiently guided her (and us) through this. To break the language barrier, she lovingly talked to my daughter and played with her so in a few months my daughter could express herself well in English, too. Ovuokio follows a daily routine which helped my daughter to feel safe and secure from the beginning.
I really appreciate that Ovuokio spends lots of time outside with the children (especially during Covid restrictions). These outside plays greatly improved my daughter`s gross motor skills. Ovuokio also provides versatile arts and crafts for them. Ovuokio expects certain independence from my daughter which boosts my daughter`s self-confidence. My daughter loves her and the other children in Ovuokio `s care and she was happy to return to Ovuokio`s care after the summer holiday.
In summary, Ovuokio is a caring, honest and reliable childminder. She takes very good care of my daughter and would choose her without hesitation as a childminder again. I happily recommend her.
