Awesome childminder.

Darina has been looking after our 2yr-old daughter since October 2017. The quality of the care has been outstanding since then and we are very happy by the development achieved by our daughter. Darina’s qualifications / references are readily available. We have a direct communication about activities and receive frequent electronic updates / pictures / artefacts crafted by our daughter which give us peace of mind and enable us to track her progress. From the outset, Darina has been organising a variety of games, activities such as frequent visits to the local farm, gardening to discover nature, cooking or “playdates” with other children of similar ages. All these activities have benefitted our daughter’s sociability and learning. She is genuinely happy to spend Monday – Friday with Darina. One particular activity at which Darina excels is craft, and she has been particularly skilful to help our daughter develop her creative talent in drawing, colouring, painting, collage, etc. These are activities which we have been able to replicate at home and which have brought a lot of pleasure. As parents, we are impressed with the progress of our daughter on dexterity, her mastery of language and the general confidence she displays to tackle new situations / challenges. Our daughter’s rhythm is never neglected: she sleeps regularly and smoothly when at Darina’s. She also has a very balanced diet as evidenced by the pictures and frequent updates we receive.
