Amazing childminder

To our wonderful Minda,

It’s hard to put into words just how much I want to thank you for the incredible, loving care you’ve given my daughter over the past four and a half years—nearly half her little life, and all her most formative, magical early years. You haven’t just looked after her; you’ve nurtured her, guided her, and helped her grow into the bright, kind, confident little girl she is today.

Beyond all the fun, laughter, and safe, happy days you gave her, I’m so grateful for all the life skills you gently taught her—independence, kindness, sharing, how to care for others, curiosity, and so many little daily habits that will stay with her forever. You’ve been such a steady, loving presence, and she’s learned so much from you that we’ll carry with us always.

Saying goodbye has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. Even though I know this moment needed to come, and moving on to school is such an exciting, natural next chapter, it’s been so deeply emotional for both of us. You’ve become such a huge part of our lives, and leaving your warm, familiar, wonderful care feels like saying goodbye to someone so very dear.

Thank you for loving her like one of your own, for every hug, every story, every moment of patience and joy. You’ve given her the most perfect start, and I will always be so grateful. She’ll take so much of what you’ve taught her with her as she steps into school, and we’ll miss you terribly.

With all my love and deepest thanks,
Marina & NyNY 💛

One in a Million

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Most Amazing Childminder Truly One in a Million!

Where do I even begin? After 4.5 incredible years, the time has finally come for my daughter to leave this amazing childminder as she begins the next chapter of her life and starts her school journey. As happy and excited as I am for her, saying goodbye is incredibly emotional because this has been so much more than childcare she has been a huge part of my daughter’s life and development from the very beginning.

From day one right through to her very last day, she has been absolutely outstanding. I genuinely could not have wished for anyone better to care for my daughter. She has always gone above and beyond, not because she had to, but because she truly cares about the children she looks after.

The setting is absolutely wonderful. Her home is spotlessly clean, safe, welcoming, warm and beautifully organised, creating such a lovely environment where children can feel comfortable, happy and secure. Everything is so well thought out, and you can immediately see the amount of effort, love and dedication she puts into providing the best possible experience for the children.

Her organisation is second to none. She plans ahead for the week, thinks carefully about activities, learning, outings and experiences, and always makes sure the children have something fun, educational and meaningful to look forward to. You can see the preparation and thought that goes into everything she does.

But what makes her truly special is the way she cares for the children. She doesn’t simply look after them she nurtures them, teaches them, encourages them, comforts them and celebrates every little milestone with them. She treats every child as an individual and takes the time to understand their needs, personality and development.

She has been there for so many of my daughter’s firsts. From introducing her first foods, helping her take her first steps, supporting her development, and even helping her transition away from her pacifier, she has been there through it all. She has played such an important role in helping my daughter grow from a little girl into the confident, happy and independent child she is today.

There has always been such a wonderful balance between learning, play, routine, creativity and fun. My daughter has come home with so many beautiful memories and experiences that she will carry with her into school and beyond.

As a parent, knowing that your child is safe, loved, cared for and genuinely happy while you are away is priceless. I have always had complete trust in her, and that peace of mind is something I will forever be grateful for.

She has been reliable, professional, caring, patient, organised, attentive and incredibly dedicated. Her communication has always been excellent, and I have always felt informed, included and reassured.

I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. Any parent considering placing their child in her care should have absolutely no hesitation. You will not regret it. You are not just choosing a childminder you are choosing someone who will become an important part of your child’s life and someone who will genuinely care about their happiness, development and wellbeing.

Thank you for everything you have done over the last 4.5 years. Thank you for every cuddle, every meal, every activity, every outing, every lesson, every milestone, every smile and every moment of care you have given my daughter.

Most importantly, thank you for loving and caring for her as though she were one of your own. ❤️

Although this chapter is now coming to an end as she begins her school journey, the impact you have had on her will stay with us forever. We will always remember the wonderful start you gave her and the beautiful memories you helped create.

You truly are one in a million, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have you.

Thank you for being absolutely amazing from the very first day to the very last. We will miss you more than words can say. ❤️🥹

An outstanding childminder, an incredible person, and someone we will never forget. Highly, highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Outstanding

I was very anxious as any parent would be leaving their child for first time but Arminda from the very first day has been amazing with my daughter.
You can tell from a mile away she takes pride in the job she does looking after our children. Endless activities. Every week you see new development in the children.
My daughter is happy going in the morning which makes my days at work so much easier.
Arminda is amazing at what she does and I don’t have any doubt when leaving my daughter I know she will have a fun day full of activities and lots of fun.
Her care for the children doesn’t go unnoticed she goes above and beyond every single time, she cooks fresh meals for the kids everyday which is amazing.
