About Me
**Little Ladybirds childminding** Ofsted GOOD grade 2016
Ofsted GOOD/OUTSTANDING grade 2022
My name is Kasia ,I'm Ofsted registered childminder Dartford based .
I worked as a nursery nurse in London from 2006-2009.After having our son in 2009 I stayed with him at home ,it made me realise I was missing my childcare career so badly that I decided that childminding would be a great opportunity to go back to what I was missing.
My aim is to provide a warm, caring, friendly setting for children to grow and develop safely.I aim to work with you to provide the best possible care for your child. :)
My service provides healthy meals and encourages your child to choose healthy options. We run a smoke-free home
I’d like to give all the families I meet a warm welcome and support parents and children throughout the childminding experience.
As I follow the Early Years Foundation stage I will be preparing children for reception by encouraging them to learn numbers, letters ,all through play as well as having lots of fun through social interaction with other children.

My daughter joined Kasia’s setting when she was 2/3 years old and had spent a number of months there. To say she enjoyed herself is an understatement! She made the best of friends whilst here, and had a lot of fun. Kasia has a caring, nurturing and fun nature that just pours into all the children and my daughter formed a strong bond with her and her peers, which to this day over a year later she still asks about them all! The activities and days out that Kasia planned were always fun and included a lot of social interaction too with other child minders with lots of park trips. The photos were always lovely to see. There is always a very family feel at Kasia’s and the children all bonded together and are still friends when joining reception together.
Kasia was also very supportive and happy to accept childcare vouchers from me for funding my daughters space and would regularly assist me in handling the admin side of this. Her passion and forefront is the wellbeing and development of children in her setting and as the title says, I really felt like I struck gold finding her. Thank you Kasia!!

Kasia is an honest, kind and caring childminder who genuinely cares about the children in her care. Since my son has been with Kasia, I have seen such a lovely growth in his confidence and independence. Kasia has created such a warm and safe environment where he feels comfortable, happy and supported.
Kasia treats the children like family, offering love, patience and clear boundaries. My son comes home every day happy and excited to tell us about what he has been doing, and he is always looking forward to what they are going to get up to the next day.
We receive daily updates and photos, which we love. We also really appreciate how much time they spend outdoors and the variety of places they visit, such as the library, local care home and different parks.
I couldn’t recommend Kasia enough.

Kasia has been looking after my daughter for nearly 3 years and we would 100% recommend her!! My daughter has always been a very picky eater but not at Kasia’s house, her food is always made from scratch and my daughter eats so much variety that I cannot get her to eat at home! Kasia always takes the children outside no matter what the weather which is really important for the children especially mine. My daughter has made some lovely friendship bonds with the other children in the setting and always tells me how much fun she has there. One time I forgot my child’s suncream and she actually purchased some for her that was suitable for her sensitive skin, which just goes to show the kindness that she has and that she puts the child’s wellbeing first and foremost! Thank you so much Kasia for your hard work over the last 3 years!! We will really miss you!!

Kasia is a lovely childminder. She has looked after my son since he was 1 and a half years old and still looks after him during school holidays. My son loves going to her and is always happy there.
She is kind, caring, and friendly. She always sends us photos during the day and keeps us updated about what the children are doing.
Kasia is very supportive and always ready to help. She gives good advice and shares her ideas when we need help with different situations.
We trust her completely and are very happy with the care she gives our son. I would highly recommend her to other parents.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Kasia.
Before coming to Kasia, Kira attended a larger nursery, and unfortunately she found the experience quite stressful. She struggled to settle, would cry a lot, and as parents it was difficult to see her so unhappy.
When we moved Kira to Kasia, the difference was remarkable. Kasia took the time to slowly build trust and develop a genuine relationship with her. She created such a warm, caring and safe environment where Kira could develop at her own pace. Over time, we watched our shy little girl grow into a confident, independent and active child.
One of the things I have always appreciated is how much Kasia involves the children in. She regularly shares photos and updates throughout the day, and I am constantly surprised by the variety of activities, outings and experiences she creates for them. You can see how much thought and effort goes into making every day interesting and engaging.
I would happily recommend Kasia to any family, but especially to parents whose child may benefit from a smaller, more personal environment and a little extra attention while they settle and build their confidence. Kasia has played a very important part in helping Kira grow and bloom, and we will always be grateful for the care, patience and encouragement she has given her.

My daughter has been with Kasia for nearly a year now and we couldn't be happier with the whole arrangement. Kasia is a lovely, kind, and completely trustworthy lady who treats the children like they are her own. She’s super organized, providing the children with lots of stimulation, fun play as well learning through play. Kasia is very supportive of children’s development and does activities to support their growth (social, emotional and educational). Her setting is well set out, clean, tidy (yet so comfortable and inviting) with lots of different toys and activities for different ages. I really appreciate that she also makes sure the children get out and about every day exploring and playing with other children. She takes them out to the parks, woodlands, library and to playgroups.
Kasia cooks a wide range of healthy homemade meals (from scratch!), which my daughter loves. She uses an online system to keep track of admin, meals, daily activities and development of the children. We have never taken as many pictures of our daughter daily as we have been receiving from Kasia!
My daughter is so happy in Kasia’s care and we are so blessed to have found her! She’s been amazing and I can’t thank her enough for the love and care she’s shown to my daughter. I would highly recommend Kasia as a childminder to anyone!

Kasia is the most wonderful childminder. She looked after our son from 18 months to age 3, and I can’t imagine using anyone better. She kept in touch with me all day long with photos of their fun time together. She he plans educational activities for the children, takes them out most days and cooks lovely healthy meals. Kasia has become a good friend to our family and really loves all the children in her care.
One in a million.

Kasia is a great childminder. During our contract with her our daughter always had a smile on her face when we were picking her up. She was always very helpful and flexible as our work shifts were all over the place. She kept us up do date during the day on how our daughter was doing and this really helped to put my mind at easy. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a quality childminder! Thanks:)
