Simonetta is a wonderful childminder, my little girl is so happy to go there every morning! She plans a lot of activities for the kids and is also very attentive to their personal development. Since my daughter started there, she has progressed a lot with her motor skills and has also developed her vocabulary! I really liked Simonetta's approach when we first started. She gave my daughter some space to discover and come to her in her own time. As a result, my daughter felt comfortable with her very quickly. Simonetta also took the time to discuss with my husband and I to understand our rhythm with our daughter and where she was at in her development. We felt she had a sincere interest in understanding her needs and how she could help her pursuing her development. Simonetta is very caring and attentive to our little one, and I'm in full confidence when leaving her for the day! She is also communicating very well and even if I am away from my daughter during the day, I feel like I am not missing any bits of her development. Thank you Simonetta!

My little daughter enjoys going to Simonetta’s so so much. She is excited everytime she get to come to her house (as well as get upset when weekends come).
Simonetta’s house is so lovely with lots of space for the children, including a big garden that looks like a mini park. She is caring and trustworthy, i dont have to worry a tiny bit when dropping my little treasure off her place. Simonetta also organizes lots of activities for the kids and takes them places.
Thank you so much, i feel so lucky to have found you.

Simonetta has looked after my daughter when I got my job and didn't have childcare, and I cannot rate her highly enough.
My daughter loves her to bits and I always feel so at ease when I know she is with her. Simonetta provides a warm, caring, nurturing environment and you really feel like your child is treated like a extension of her family. Simonetta often takes the children for trips, which my daughter loves. Simonetta is helpful, flexible and has got me out of a few tricky childcare situations! Thank you Simonetta for being amazing!

Simonetta is a great childminder I had just started a new job just a few weeks before schools broke up and didn’t know where I was gonna put my daughter, then I found simonetta. As soon as I met with her to discuss details I knew I found the perfect person for my daughter and me, she loved every minute of Simonetta’s care and most times didn’t want to leave. It was great to know while I was at work my daughter was happy and well looked after, she enjoyed all the days out to the museum, castle, beach etc and the days in baking, painting, splashing etc and of course the new friends she made.
